Do you freeze buds prior to their butane shower for making oil? I've always used it at room temperature, was told freezing buds was for ISO or bubble hash, but I dont really have a clue........... Should I freeze em for oil? If so, after ground up then frozen?

i dont use butane, but i gauruntee it will help ;) it will pre weaken the trichs before extraction making it that much easier

another method id love to give a try, is making dry ice hash, then processing it further down with iso... seems like a natural course of what to do

when i get some iso to make this next batch of oil im going to try to get a buddy to come over and film the process as i do it so i can make a tutorial video for those interested in learning how to make top notch iso oil

Guys - i must have explained myself badly in the last post. The bud i used was top quality ripe fermented bud. All milky trichomes and harvested after 130 days.
This is the most potent bud in the whole area. So it's definitely not the quality of my bud that is to blame. So something is wrong with my technique or equipment.

its a little on the lowside, but its not on the wow wtf side... like researchkitty suggested, try running 2 cans of butane through?

Yes - ran two cans through. Might be a little left in dish but not enough. Thinking about trying to put it in the coke bottle again - then bud is submerged in butane - this must dissolve the trichomes and get most of it. The first times i did this was like that - it is a little more tricky, but does give a better output i think. (well - not a miracle or anything - guess this just always gives you a little less that you hoped for ;O)

I can't help wondering about people always talking about preassure inside the tube. I just don't see how the preassure would build up when one end is just shut by a coffee filter?

Pressure builds up inside the tube by way of idiots stuffing the tube really packed because they want to get it done faster. ;) As long as you change the coffee filter every time you change the herb in the tube, you shouldnt have any blowouts from pressure buildup.......... Use two coffee filters if it freaks ya out that much :) :)

i made dry ice hash. then i added it to some bud and put it in the coffee grinder. then i blasted it with butane. :eyesmoke::blsmoke:

you need to stuff enough trim into the tube to cause pressure to build or the butane just blows by without extracting anything. if there is not enough back pressure for liquid to fill the tube then you aren't doing it right. there is a narrow line between not enough and too much though. too much and the butane won't be able to pass thru at all. you want it to pass thru, but with the MOST resistance you can create. i often shake and spin my tube while blasting it to get everything possible. ;)

if your butane is dripping out of your filter and it is clear you can stop. drip a drip or two off to the side and let it evaporate real quick to see how much you are actually extracting.

a good extraction will immediately ooze out of the filter as a rich honey color. once this color vanishes you can stop.

Hi Guys - i still get a very low output. From 20 gr. of Jack Herer i only get like 1-1.5 grams of budder. I use a 1inch tube - 1 foot long. Cap with 1 hole for gas in one end and just a coffee filter in the bottom. Ground up weed - not too fine. Made it pack pretty good in the bottom and used 2 bottles of gas. Anyone who can tell me if this can be tweaked to get most of my cannabinoids extracted?
Best bet to use 1 can of butane per oz of product you pit into tube. Also after making bho for quite a while now I chop all my plant material in the Ninja chopper.( available at target,Walmart, etc). This will get your plant matter to a better form to fill your tube. Then just tap your tube on the ground lightly to pack plant matter. Lightly is key here, don't want it to tight.

I run 7 oz of matter at a time with 6 cans of butane and am always between 29 and 32 grams of finished wax after fully drying.

This is fucked! In the past I was pissed off because I had all the nug I needed and then some but I was spending way too much money on blunt skins and bags of ice. I think this butane habit is going to be way more expensive. :-?

Gotta check in with this update. Kush Organics Vapor Lounge on the 101 in Hopland officially opened the dabs bar. You can sit and watch the 101 traffic crawl thru Hopland as you dab out, so sick. They have all sort of erl gear, from extraction tubes to Hitman percolators and all sorts of accessories. The best part is they have 4 kinds of Phillips Rx bho, made with a Tami. And they have 4 kinds of my Ice Wax. I don't even remember driving home lol.

I sell em for $25 delivered to RIU members, they are 25mm diameter and a foot long. They will run about a half ounce to an ounce ground up each time. OR, I have some oddball sized larger diameter ones for the same price but an extra $5 for shipping since they are around 3x the weight. Oddball sized means they are a little shorter, around 10-11", rather than a foot long. They will all do around 2oz to 8oz depending on the length/diameter. The oddball sizes are a few 50mm, 44mm and 32mm. So hit me up with what amount you'd be running each tube and I'll try to match the oddball sizes ones up. They all come with coffee filters and rubber bands so you can be gangster.

They are also on eBay for $50-$150, local head shops sometimes carry them just gotta get lucky with a store that knows enough to stock them..........
