bho question

[homero]

hello sorry for my terrible english and thanks in advance ... I explain ...... I put a jar in the freezer 1lt x 24h with twenty grams of flowers ... then I put the butane in the freezer x 4 hours ..... after made holes in the cap 1 x bottle and 4 x venting (pressure) ..... downloaded 2 cans about 1/2 liter into the jar and taking about 1 minute slightly twisting ..... filtered with filter coffee in the baking dish and evaporated ....... final product excellent .... an invisible veil that becomes light lemon color but the crop was tiny ....... after a few hours I rehearsed the same grass in the tube (honeybee) and I picked up a product more dark but still great ...... and with a yield similar to the first ...... now ..... looking with the micro I see that they always have a a lot of heads ....... I have to do a third step?? ...... where am I wrong??? there is no way to do all the job in one step?? .......

Repack and run the material again. The Honeybee is too large an ID for efficient single pass extraction. You should see only the stalks remaining.

thanks gray wolf I am doing...... but look like a lot of wasted buthane ..... maybe is better if change my tool

We've gotten better extraction efficiency with a column ID under 1" or using a thermos.

I figured it was better something narrower and longer ..... do you know if there is something on the market or is better to do for myself? thanks

this is an O'kief extractor... they are out of business (possibly because of how overpriced their stuff was) but you can see how easily this can be made...

some stainless steel tubing, an aluminum bracket and stand epoxied together and fastened to the tubes using allen bolts, some metal mesh, hose clamps and some rubber stoppers with a hole for the butane nozzle..

there is another brand I have seen people use, when I find the pics and descriptions I will edit it into this post

 

[homero]

thanks for this really useful information ....... think to find the stuff in a shop for plumbers

 

[Kushed_]

Get a sub zero extractor with the dry ice and blast at -65 degrees F

 

[homero]

hi kushed and thanks for the new ...... I thought to dry ice ..... but in my country is not so easy to find ..... anyway it's a good way to do it

 

[Gray Wolf]

Would something like this fulfill your needs?

hi gray wolf I hope you can forgive my oceanic ignorance ...... but what is it?

I use the Xtractor-XL. $99.

its a turkey baster... used to squirt turkey juices back onto the turkey while baking... but you can easily modify it into a BHO tube.

hi gray wolf I hope you can forgive my oceanic ignorance ...... but what is it?

The beer thief is a large size stainless "turkey" type baster, that is easy to make into an extraction tube, by throwing away the bulb and filling the tube with the material to be extracted, and clamping coffee filters over that bulb end with a screw radiator clamp.

Inject the butane from the other end, like other tubes made for the purpose.

thanks infinitesimal, gray wolf and hazy eye.... another question ..... for the buthane evaporation I use the hottest water directly from the water tap (I think it is about 50°/60° celsius).... sometimes .... i find some water bubble (or condensation) on the bottom of the pan ..... its ok???
this is my last extraction

As long as water doesn't go inside the pyrex/pan your oil is in, you're ok.

You want the hot water to contact the outside bottom/sides, as much as possible to keep the pyrex/pan warm, the entire bottom needs to be submerged in hot water at the least. My water level is at least an inch above the oil level in the pyrex.

hi carefulgrower I meant that I find some condensation and droplet inside the pirex pan

If you use a deeper pan, the butane vapor will float the moisture laden atmomosphere above the freezing level of the pan, and not leave ice water behind.
