the gas mixture is a much better solvent as a liquid, which requires pressure and is aided with cold. I suggest freezing the can of gases and the blasting tube. Also putting a small piece or two of dry ice in the tube to keep the gas mixture fluid while in the tube. A piece of dry ice in the catch tray also helps reduce the risk of pan fires. As the dry ice evaps it raises CO2 levels in the pan flash area.

Good information. Just want to tell for the newbies that the gas CAN be hold fluently in a coke bottle without preassure. When i change my caps there is no preassure at all (but will be when new cap is on off course. This if off course also seen, when the gas comes out into the pyrex where preassure must be very close to 1 atmosphere ;O)

My principal complaint about the coke bottle method is that one can never get all the working fluid out. For a good recovery, you need to repeat the solvent addition/removal step 4x or more. With a tube, you have elution - a directional wash - working for you ... excellent recovery with a minimum of solvent used. Jmo on bho. cn

Don't quite agree. If you poke 1 hole in the bottom of the bottle for the gass - then poke 5-6 holes in the cap. Insert coffee filter into the cap and... voila you got a free honey bee extractor that does what you explain. Agree that the shape could have been more slim to make it more effective, but remember this is the free version for when you just don't have the expensive stuff. (i know it's not that expensive, but if you want BHO one evening and don't have the glass tube ... coke bottle is often available.
I just like the other method where the bud gets totally submerged. After gas has been poored out i have tried making second runs and all i got was a little black oily pea - nothing like the white/yellow budder i got first run.

I understand you wanting to use free available products, but to go with stainless steel for 7$, over a coke bottle for 1$ does not seem too extreme. I would feel much more comfortable using a stainless steel tube.

Indeed - i totally agree - that's why i bought my pp plumbing tube that is very nice for this. But if you're stuck one evening and don't own a steel or glass tube yet .. this is a way to go without. This is what Bear Grylls would have done ;O)
