Just to throw my tuppence worth in.
I run my butane into a pyrex dish with a little warm water in the bottom. Sounds mad, I know, but the oil floats on top of the water. I then pick this up with the sharp side of a utility knife blade by simply running the blade around the surface, scraping it onto a second blade, then blowing off excess water once cool. Saves trying to scrape it off the bottom of a dish.
Sounds crazy until you try it!

Not to say anything stupid, because I've yet to even do this, but has anyone else tried putting water in dish and scooping oil off water?
i have a few. i need to get busy. it's gonna be 100 here today though. doubt i'll even turn my torch on any time soon.
you could freeze it, then let it thaw slightly and peel it right off.

Yes there is more than one right way. Which is why I said, 'yes you can dry it too..'making it faster doesn't offer you any more yield.
i'm just saying, ... "there is more then one right way to do it".
I never said anything about a better yield.. a vac setup won't give me more but it will definitly put money in my hands faster.. I know a few fellas with like 4oz of herb layin around doing nothing.. and they haven't even in invested a tube yet..
I will tell them, "provide the herb.. and 120 bucks, (4cans butane included in price), ill run your qp into vac purged oil with a mechanical vac pump and you'll have pure, clean oil by tonight."
My current problem is the inablity to run everything I have.. which is why I need more tubes too!

All the time! I call it reclaim when you get oil out of your bubbler.

Didn't feel like multi quoting but a few people had it right
sunlight will degrade thc... so you dont want to get it a sun tan... you should be doing good with it outside, just make sure its covered with some screen or something so it doesn't get yard shit in the oil when your outside...
When I have a pool of butane in my pan, I submerge the pan into another pan filled with hot hot tap water... this will quickly reduce the butane level down to a small film within minutes...
then just let it dry if you have no other plans to purge, as FDD does... maybe leave it outside in the heat for an hour and a half (with a screen) then take it inside and put it somewhere cool and dry to finish drying for a week or two...
My next batch was sitting out in the shade for about 3 hours after the warm water. Still havn't scraped it. I'm not sure with this batch if I want to vacuum purge or do what fdd does and just leave it flat across the dish until it gets crispy. I might purge it in a couple days and see what happens. These pictures were from a QP. And those bubbles have all been popped

QP of nugs, or QP of trim?
