So for personal stash runs is the purebutane and Capitol, N- butane Worth the extra money or not? Or should we just stick with the best of the isobutanes available?
Magnum 5X had 0.035g of residue
Magnum 5X, Korea, 300ml can, reads on the bottom "120405"
whip-it! 5X had 0.005g of residue
whip-it 5X, Korea, 300ml can, reads on the bottom "130610"
A Korean winner!
The results will be added to the head post and the Best to Worst list on page two.
I have Special Blue 9X and Ultra Pure (UK) coming next week to test, and have confirmed orders for Nibo and whip-it! 7X.

I'm interested in Ronson as #1.... Originally people said Roson was shit tane, and I thought it had a bad smell? Did they change it up?
also I would HIGHLY APPRECIATE IT if you could do some "tests" with residual shit in ISO alcohol, as well as overall tests comparing quality of product of ISO vs Everclear, as this is something that should be of concern to people, especially those using ISO from a store. It just sounds super sketchy to me.

I don't trust any of you f_____'_ to purge isopropyl correctly, why I'm making my own oil and will continue to do so no matter how awesome someone else's oil appears to be...
As to Ronson, it's owned by Zippo now,
"In February, 2010, Zippo Manufacturing Company, Bradford, PA, acquired substantially all of the assets of Ronson Consumer Products Corporation, Woodbridge, NJ, and Ronson Corporation of Canada Ltd.; and certain related assets of Ronson Corporation.
Today
Ronson is a member of the Zippo Manufacturing Company family of brands. The product line continues to be marketed and sold in the United States and Canada under the Ronson name at retailers and at the Zippo/Case Museum in Bradford, Pennsylvania."

Zippo used to clog up my lighters a couple of years ago, so they have completely upgraded the quality of their butane, and now market it under both the Zippo and Ronson brand names, as the quality of both seems identical. Ronson 165g (~300ml) cans are available at Walgreens for $6. Zippo's 165g (~300ml) cans are available online, and if you ask around you should be able to get case discounts. I'm sure Burn Wholesale has cases, give them a call.

So you're saying that not many people can purge iso correctly, or what? Iso doesn't seem that hard to evap? What don't you trust? I'd like to know what the deal is please.
I also don't know what making your own oil vs someone else's has anything to do with wanting some tests done....? If you want to do the tests, that would be awesome, but I'll see what GW has to say as well.
I've spoken to GW a bunch of times regarding dangers and ISO, so if you have some knowledge please share!
GW, "Isopropyl similarly attacks the auditory system in sufficient concentration, so post purging is more of an issue with Methanol and Isopropyl alcohols, than with Ethanol. Not that Ethanol isn’t toxic, it just takes more of it and it doesn’t attack our optical or auditory systems." http://skunkpharmresearch.com/simple-alkanes-alcohols-and-ethers/
If I was going to expand my testing it would be to test the purity of bulk butane, but I have no tangible way to obtain the butane at this time.
Dude, the title of the thread is "Butane Residue Test Results"
If you want to know whats in ISO other than ISO, you should start
your own thread. But you don't need to. It's H2O.
Ultra Pure had 0.001g of residue
Ultra Pure, England, 300ml can, reads on the bottom "DOM 27.09.13 06:58"
The results will be added to the head post and the Best to Worst list on page two.
Special Blue 9X, Nibo, and whip-it! 7X are on their way to me for testing, Special Blue 5X and 7X are being 'wrangled.' ;-)

whip-it! 7X had 0.017g of residue
whip-it! 7X, Korea, 300ml can, reads on the bottom "131011"
Special Blue 5X had 0.004g of residue
Special Blue 5X, country of manufacture?, 300ml can, reads on the bottom "131024"
Special Blue 9X had 0.005g of residue
Special Blue 9X, country of manufacture?, 300ml can, reads on the bottom "130702"
I intend on testing Special Blue 7X tomorrow.
No Nibo or Pop-lite to test, their retailers must have been out of stock, as they sent substitute brands I've already tested.

Based on our lab tested runs, I believe to get to a true ND extraction, you need N-Tane. On paper there is no reason that I can come up with why this level remains high while the rest is purging to the levels we want. Any help from the forum would be appreciated. We have seen this level reduce based on gas used but not dramaticlly.
Special Blue 7X had 0.001g of residue

I've now tested all the canned butanes I can get my hands on within the US.

Whats this Hitman butane im seeing everywhere?
Online, there's just one retailer with cases of Hitman for $70, no other source, would you care to send me a can, I'm in the Inland Empire region of SoCal.
I need London also...
I'm stoked to see the results for London. I've been confined to using London or Colibri for extractions due to the area I live in. I like London because it produces nice, bright colours like Newport does, and if you compare a can of Newport to a can of London both sport the same "flame" logo, similar lid with coloured flints, and the same near zero decal.
Maybe London is a spin off ofNewport? I know that London is canned in England and correct me if I'm wrong but I think Newport is too?
I hope I'm not the only kook with this speculation but I do feel that there are not a lot of people using London here.
