no oven, can't remember temp. Did it with a buddy, we did it the same as always just never used this bud. It was not our bud.
I robbed it from a coke/heroin dealer in my city. He got his. Warning to all hard drug pushers in Canada. I own all 5 of chopper's books.
I will rob and you will beg and I won't care.
I doubt any of those guys are to be found in this forum, so you should probably post any threats of violence on lineitup.org in the Canadian cokeheads forum.

in the spirit of harm reduction you should acquire a vacuum oven - if you plan to be making any more shatter, and sharing it with others. without one it will be very hard to guarantee the butane residue is at a safe level, plus with vacuum you can keep the purge temps and time reasonable. as a bonus the finished product might even have a lighter colour. also learn how to clean your butane. undistilled butane has all sorts of nasty shit in it. thirdly acquire weed from known sources as toxic sprays can accumulate in concentrates.

And...somemore great advice based on experience. Listen to what he's saying herb.

@herb-life....no one is trying to bust your balls, just trying to teach you the proper ways of the force! You ran 3 lbs of MJ once, some of us run that every week. Don't take it personal...very good peeps in this subforum, use it to your advantage.

If you don't believe us that you can improve the quality of your BHO, go post that pic out in the main RIU section and see what kind of responses you get.

Again nothing personal, just trying to help.

They sell a cream now, cannabis based, that can help with your thin skin condition.

You dont think your techniques and product can improve at all?
Youve reached the pinnacle?

You're done learning and only here to show and tell?

Glass tube, Glass Pan, Crushed bud 2-3 pounds, Butane.
This was not made with sugar leaf this was made with bud.
It was purged all night, the dark color is because it is made with bud.
Not one leaf went into this.
It weighs 1.5 ounces.
No sir the dark color is NOT because it was made with bud.

The better the quality, the more golden and translucent it will be.... shit should border on yellow....

Do. Not. Try. To. Rush. Shatter.

Ever.

Mine purges for like a day or two, then I winterize it, and purge several days @ full vac on my seedling mat....

You got nasties in your oil bro, get some Everclear (real 190 proof, not that 151 proof garbage) and some filters.... clean it, purge it, and show us the 'after' pics... your body will thank you when you see what filters out....

(Trying to find my link to the polishing extracts article, but think its on the laptop)

Once you have tried the vac chamber full purge, and the winterizing..... both are steps you will never un-make, and will preach unto others.... the benefits (and health and safety concerns) are WELL worth the time, and investment....

Is my point made yet.
Oh we see your point...

You'll smoke anything, and damn the risks....

Yes, we will say the pics you are showing are ugly oil.... most of them are batches mid-craft, which kinda speaks against your purity claim...

Were not trying to break your balls so quit getting all defensive, this isn't high school.....

If your response to all the times you were asked about a vac purge is 'look at these pics I googled' I think a lot more reading and a lot fewer pictures is needed..... BHO will fucking kill you and the people around you if you go in half-assing it with only the knowledge from the illustrated versions captions.....

From my experience the older bud will make dark bho. To get nice white or Amber budder/shatter freshly harvested and dried plants are needed. think of the trichome heads. Clear, milky, Amber, extracting from pre mature, clear headed trichome, will get nice Peruvian flake budder, mmmmm.

Itsme.

Peruvian flake budder?..huh...is that like peruvian marchin powder?

Someone tell me the difference between BHO...budder and shatter.

Shatter is THC in an amorphous state, budder(wax,sugar, crumble) has THC precipitating out of that state and into one of a visible mixture of THC, terpenes, lipids/waxs/fats, and other cannabinoids. Its extremely similar to sugar and sugar glass.

PS: Shatter is shit. Pull snap, or terpier the better.

So the difference is the structure? With shatter being more or less crystalline?

I dont consider shatter crystalline, but an amorphous resin, just like sugar glass or pane of silicate based glass, shatter is literally a glass.

Think of it in the same way as making candy with sugar and how you can get different textures out of the same starting product. Shatter being a good example as it borrows from the very example I gave. Sometimes depends on heat, or air being whipped in when it comes to budder. Then you can get into stuff like winterizing to separate lipids and waxes. You can also play around with terps. Tons of cool info out there
