Hey guys what do you think of my Vacuum Purged honeycomb?? :-P
View attachment 2393732
I'll admit the starting bud could have been better quality
Grand Daddy Purp bud, grew slightly weak

I am not saying that my method is the best,
Blasted 2 tubes, about 3 ounces into a pyrex in a water bath at a consistent 170 degrees and sit for 10 minutes
Then scrapped onto parchment
I then Vacuum purge at room temp until full vacuum then repeat for 10 minutes (i deflate pressure and repeat when HG reaches 30 and muffin is inflated)
I then usually recluster the BHO into a ball again and Vacuum purge at 110 degrees for another 10 minutes
After that i reposition the BHO again, and Vaccume purge at 125 degeres for another 10 minutes
By now the oil is very stable and sap like almost shatter, but if i hurry i can reposition the oil while its warm, spreading it somewhat thin and
Then i Vaccum Purge for the Final purge at 135 degrees without deflating, untill the muffin deflates itself, turns into a soup, then honeycombs.

All of these comes with variables during the purge that require different action, but are hard to explain until it happens, and solutions to these problems came with many many tubes ran.

I've had it take an hour to honeycomb, and i have had it take 4 hours, depending on the starting material and amount of BHO.

"Formal education will make you a living, Self education will make you a fortune."

It is my quest to learn to make the best oil possible, in terms of most pure, most potent, greatest yield, with smell and flavor in tact.
I've spent the last 4 months trying the dispensaries here, all of which have terrible oil
Under purged oil, as well as oil that has caked the nail up with so much resin a half in. muffin formed on the nail.

I'll post a picture of the nectar that i run out of this Northern Lights bud later tonight!:bigjoint:

I do not necessarily agree with whipping at all, so if that is your advice, i respect it, but am not interested thanks!

Dab away:lol:

IMG_20121103_202516-1.jpgTIMG_20121105_021444.jpgThe top is known as red oil. It's by far better and not black as it appears on the lower photo. It's often what people want is what I consider the primary extract. Often I want max solvent value, not potency. People want yellow like on the mirror or paler.

Anyone who knows weed and extractions will tell you it's really red oil that's targeted and from there the purification process can begin. A person w tremendous skill in the art would then re-crystallize the purified product for what these streets haven't seen in years, CANNABINOL. You have to be around 50 years old or so to know what I'm talking about.

you see this was taken from the physicians pharmacopia for remedies and it's claim range from cancer, glaucoma, etc. So what we are left with is very little literature, scientific evidence, controlled studies, and then there's us. I've read some interesting proof on reefermadness.org I believe. The title is cannabinol and it was a article written in 1943 around abouts.

The confirmed wives tales behind the exotic stories I've heard about this drug is unbelievable, except I know the moods weed is capable of, it's classifications on being a stimulant, a depressant, and a hallucinogen make all the way out stories believable. They are the ones having a hard time believing, but it was confirmed that cannabinol was a product of weed and the stories I heard all revolve around the cb1 and cb2 receptors being bombarded and these receptors that normally open and close allowing endorphines, seratonin, etc and give us the sensation of being high are now closed refusing to open and allow those vital signals to connect. All the stories people were unable to function, just stuck there unable to move.

your going to have to start asking around, to the big homies who are around 50 if they have ever heard or tried it. Very interesting and it requires more skill than I have now to make it happen. I've gotten close, was offered 3 bills for a gram of it, to no success. I'm not discouraged as it's conditions must be just right, and the trick is to allow a slow cool. From a coffee pot warmer turn off and allow room temperature cooling, then in the fridge until stable, finally in the freezer. Placed in a buchner funnel and placed under vacuum until air dried. It is closely related to the way they make meth. The same type of proceedures take place to obtain the same type of product that's not at all related to the other matrix. It's ultra pure when ever something is re-crystallized.

cool thing is it all starts w a supercritical fluid extraction on weed, targeting a red oil as to purify it, then a solution of naphthalene and 13% hexane is scfe again, when it's near dry, ice cold ethanol is used and it must be anhydrous and as it dries, it starts glassing back in chizals my nizals. I learned the technique @ MIT online courses. It's one of the places I got schooled on scfe and they peeped me up on game.
