It looks like you have water droplets in there. How doid you get rid of the "heavies" in Shellite? cn

they are actually solidified bubbles, and i filter through 2 coffee filters and its a quick wash so it doesn't pull any chlorophyl out. here's a few more pics , fully cured finished product is on the upside down can bottom.

here is a link to how i made it.https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/502381-flowamastas-grow-no-3-indica-16.html

could be the page before, sorry bout that. the bubbles are just from heating it up on the bottom, and air is trying to pass through the oil. as it cools, they solidify. good stuff ey, makes for good pics, people get blown away by this stuff, need i remind, i made this from shake from my outdoor plant last month.

Hey Flow,
I had trouble finding your method, reposted it here for quick reference.
Cheers, LG

Extracting oil/resin from pure buds with shellite ... some people have asked so here it is

pull the buds apart...

place jar in a container with near boiling water for approx 2 minutes

let it bubble away for that 2 minutes, then transfer unfiltered mix to a bottle

This is where you filter it into your pyrex dish to evaporate with a fan

this is the stage where i get the hair dryer out

within minutes......then scrape it out onto the underside of a can purge the rest of the chemical out by heating with a small candle underneath, CAREFUL NOT TO BURN!! repeatedly cool in the fridge or freezer, and repeat purging/curing the final product

now you can play with it like a little boy. BUT BE CAREFUL NOT TO SMEAR IT ANYWHERE BUT ON YOUR BOWL!!! YOUR MRS WILL NOT BE HAPPY IF SHE GETS HER SOCK STUCK ON THE KITCHEN FLOOR WITH A GLOOP OF STICKY RESIN. I LEARNT... have fun all and enjoy, and be safe!! NO FLAMES NEAR CHEMICALS OF THIS NATURE! and be sure to purge all remaining shellite before consuming. it will have a magical taste when you have purged correctly, if not it will still smell chemically, keep going

Someone gave me a .5 gram pill full of "dragon tears" which is the name for this type of extract made of shellite? Supposedly it is very potent. I passed it on tho so don't know how it hit.

why pass it on? i doubt it was made from shellite though. that is an australia distillate.

You are probably right he said Naptha tho. I passed it on b/c I don't consume cannabis resins doused in petro products. Precautionary principle in play. The pills were dosed high at .5 gram per pill, and my back hurts but I am not dying of cancer like the patient they were dosed for. Also, he told me that it made people with very high tolerances act very down doped, so I just decided to stick to my IWE which I know is pure cannabinoid goodness.

Fair call Kalyx i made all forms of extracts, and i wouldn't smoke it unless i made sure myself that i have evaporated all remaining solvents, the solvent i use boils at an incredibly low temperature - 40 degrees Celsius so it doesn't take much to fully evaporate at all. Shellite leaves 0% residue after spill/evaporate test even a high volume like 500ml i have tested for this purpose alone. Also shellite is only volatile at 230 degrees Celsius if heated, and is only flammable very close range as the gas disperses very quickly, if you do the evaporation with a fan only outside in a closed off area from wind you would be fine, providing you use other flammable precautions in the first place.....no flames obviously.

I agree i like the natural extracts also, but for potency you can't really beat honey oil....in my opinion anyway. You never need a 2nd hit. Well you shouldn't if made from quality product.

downing .5 gram in a pill? daaaamn, thats alot of cannabanoids. I personally only use it for my insomnia, but it does work for pain relief, i totally believe it does.

out of 100mg of hash oil ( 0.10g ) i would get 5-10 hits on top of a bowl, depending on size, it goes a looooong way! so if that has any 'residue' at all, if any, is it worse than what we breath in the air everyday? i'm doubting that. But, stick with what YOU feel safe with by all means, if you are getting high, go for it enjoy any form of cannabis the way you like because there are soo many ways for everyone out there for everyone

no offense but this method seems really fuckin sketchy, you probably shouldn't be using a petroleum based product for extractions even if you feel all the solvents have been evaporated this could be really dangerous. butane extractions are as far as people should take this i think

and you've researched this have you ???!!! sorry mate but get your facts straight before dribbling nonsense into my thread!!! what makes butane safer mate?? apart from the fact that its known to have toxic harmful substances in it??? Shellite is actually used as a cleaning solvent because it leaves no residue at all. If you read my thread properly instead of trying to put people off this magical substance, you would read my scientific facts in the above post....Shellite is one of THE cleanest solvents.
There is no chemical taste whatsoever, and smells just like the sticky resin of the plant it came from. You wold be hard pressed to find butane as clean or as reliable as Shellite. I bet you smoked butane hash not knowing anything about it at all! I hear complaint after complaint about butane......harsh on the throat, gives you the dries..... my shellite hash has mates begging for it, and i can never make enough

BUTANE EXTRACTIONS ARE THE ONES THAT GO BOOOOOOOM!!!!! BUTANE DOESNT EVEN REQUIRE A FLAME TO IGNITE AS IT'S VOLATILE AT ROOM TEMPERATURE. YEAH SAFE. GO AND BURN YOUR FACE OFF WITH BUTANE THEN MATE.....please don't.

Glad you like my method

i liked it too since it is a new solvent to me i will also be trying this.

just have to understand the basics of non polar/polar solvents.....and how different temperatures will extract different compounds.... 2 very important things if you are looking for purity and potency. If you want to extract ALL the soluble compounds then most solvents will do this at even warm temperatures, but i'm after the more psychoactive compounds...If i were to leave my extracts going for hours, the liquid would become very, very dark, and it would contain plant waxes and sugars that would only hinder the way i want to smoke it. Having it as the cleanest and purest purge i can get, enables maximum flavour of the terpenes and oils and usually the strongest concentration of surface glandular trichomes, which are highest in oil and thc content. Where the 'GOLDS' at The quickest purges at just the right temperature (my opinion 50-80 degrees) in double pot of hot water for a very short time wipes clean of any surface trichs in nearly seconds. The purest comes from whole nugs broken down to about the size of your thumb. This size easily disolves all surface trichs.

You need a good non-polar protic solvent to extract what you're looking for. People use butane because it is a non-polar protic solvent... as is hexane. I've tried butane extract and it was god awful. I vowed to never do it that way again. Before that I had tried a few hexane extraction methods, but even hexane isomers product I could find, such as a few QD products in aerosol cans seemed sketchy. The flavor, however was much purer and tasty compared to the butane method. I purged once with the hexane. The oil was very similar to your shellite method. So shellite is a non-polar protic solvent? Can this be bought in the US? I want to try it.

I don't know if it can be bought in the US, It is Australian made.... Yes it is non polar but does extract further alkaloids and cannabanoids if left too long, a quick soak non agitating Shellite is very clean and the only drawback being it takes a little extra time and heat ( around 50-80 degrees )to completely purge and evaporate the final hydrocarbons in shellite.

I've tried many and most methods but still can't beat this method. It's easily the most purest and potent that i have ever come across. Never harsh on the throat, always tastes and smells great! and ofcourse does the job 10 fold

What type of Naptha do you use? I got Klean-Strip VM&P NAPTHA, is that okay?

VM&P as sold in the States has an awfully high boiling range and is lousy with olefins. I would recommend against. cn

Okay.... I can return it. It was the only Naptha at Home Depot. What do you recommend?

I don't know of any truly good solvent that you can buy without needing to clean it up. I can source somewhat pure hexanes and n-heptane, but they contain a bit of nonvolatile oily residue. I love distillation!
I would suggest seeing if a Google search finds you hexanes that are clean and cheap enough. cn

Maybe I should go to a paint store and see if they have pure Naptha? This is for cancer treatment, I need something that is effective, available in Michigan, and clean. Here is what Rick Simpson says,

The process that I am about to describe involves washing the starting material twice with a good solvent such as pure naphtha, to remove the available resin from the plant material. Naphtha has proven to be a very good solvent to produce the oil and in Europe it is often called benzine. The only solvents that I have direct experience with are ether, alcohol and naphtha. Ether is my personal favourite and it is a very effective solvent, but it is expensive and can be quite hard to get. I think the use of ether is better suited for closed distilling devices since it is very volitile and its fumes make it a bit dangerous to work with. Alcohol is not quite as effective as ether or naphtha as a solvent, since it is less selective in nature, but still it does work well. Alcohol will dissolve more chlorophyll from the starting material and due to this, oils produced with alcohol will usually be more noticeably dark in color. For a solvent to be effective it should be 100% pure and 100% pure alcohol is expensive and can be quite hard to find. Naphtha on the other hand is quite cheap to acquire and is usually not too hard to find. Many paint suppliers sell pure naphtha as paint thinners, so for the most part it is quite easy to get and next to the use of ether it is my solvent of choice.
