Decided to make some BHO out from ChocoTonic popcorn buds.

Used flowers like these:







Bigger flowers were like these:




Started to fill the glass tube, taking into account to let some space and don't press the weed too much.

To have an idea on how much it was pressed in the extractor glass:

I use PTFE sheets to spray on. It was unnecessary this time, but I used it the same to make pics. Colibrì butane. 1 liter in - around 0,25 liters out.







When almost the butane is gone I added some ISO alcohol and gently stir with a teaspoon to dissolve the BHO rapidly.

Filtered with a 25µ inox mesh and ready to winterize in the freezer for 2 days.











Just covered with some plastic film and put it in the freezer.

Will post the rest of the extraction and purge process in the next days, hope it could help some newbie.

After 48 hours winterization, waxes are out of the solution and clearly visible on the bottom of the glass as sedimentation.




Filtered with an inox mesh




Once filtered waxes can bee seen on the meshalong some other residues.




Let's start evaporation. Used the same PTFE sheet. Important to not inhale ISO vapors.




Solvent is almost gone.

After the evaporation I ended with this:




My setup for vacuum is nothing special, just a DIY kit composed by a 2cm thick PMMA table, a 1/4HP 1stage pump and some PTFE tape to seal everything.
Other than that I also have a cheap electric heating pad to keep water hot enough.







Can't go over -920 mbar. This is the max. value I get with everything sealed perfectly.




Purging starts

Some more setup pictures. I can fit the PMMA table to quite any container, so it depends on how much extract I have to purge.
