Double Kindness bho recovery unit

Double Kindness · May 4, 2011

Hey all. Finally got the butane recovery bho unit up and running and dialed in, it took a year and a half to do.

I'm able to put about a qp of buds/trim in the long stainless tube, and I lose about 1/4-1/2 a can of vector butane per run instead of 3 cans for 90g of material. I recently helped out a friend trim hawiian thai and got to take all the trim home. Per run I'm able to get about an oz of nicely purged bho, again depending on the quality of trim. So I'm posting picts of the whole process, but I'm technically challenged so I have to post the picts a few at a time.

BTW hashmaster-kut I love the vapor swing you sent and now I have a ton of bho & even got my partner to start smoking hash oil where he used to avoid it... the swing makes it like smoking candy.

More pictures of the recovery unit and the haul I got from 1 run. 28g of nicely purged hawiian thai bho, it has a very solid consistancy. But other batches I have run have turned out differently, and I did a breeding project recently, so all the plants are just de-seeded and the material run through the new extractor unit.

One of the runs, which was shishkaberry x ak-47 1 was very runny, no matter how long I purged, and the hawiian thai was very foamy before the purge, so the end product will only be as good as what you put in.

looks cool and everything, but tell me, was it worth the year and a half and all of the hassle to save a couple of bucks? these things kind of perplex me. unless you're straight up doing industrial size extractions, I can't imagine the added complexity to the process is worth the few bucks saved.

i do love the diameter of that tube though, how much trim can you fit in there?

Double Kindness · May 4, 2011

I run through a massive amount of material a month, so yes, an industrial extractor is what I needed, and my partner is very handy and I have a milling lathe and a tig welder, and each can of butane is 8.50... I'd rather lose 1/2 a can of butane to run a 4oz run and get an oz of purged bho (great tim and buds used to beginn with) than 3 cans to run 90g of material.

TickleMyBalls · May 4, 2011

you need to find a better hook up on butane dude. I get vector for $4.50 a can. I get cases of King for $13. so per run no matter what kind of butane i use, it never costs me more than $30 in butane. I use mostly king, because I don't see any difference in quality compared to higher refinement, so generally it costs me no more than $5 per run of 5 oz. of material. that $5 turning into 20g of bho is fine with me.

Thanks for posting your process and findings!

Nice job bro!

Not for nothing bro, but I think you need to be dropping links like hot potatoes up in this hizzy. Where the F can I get some Vector for $4.50? Don't mind King either....so shake it loose brotha.

BTW: Nice job on the recovery unit DK. If I had the mechanical chops to do it myself I'd probably do it.....as it stands right now....I'll probably make the plunge and buy that Tasminium job sooner or later. That is unless you start manufacturing those jimmies!

yeah, man! awesome dude. nice one bro. You must be a guy to be this smart

Sorry couldn't help it. You even have Grey Wolf giving you props here.

Thanks for posting DK, this rocks. I am starting to get off the fence about using BHO... Slowly accepting it is not carcinogenic, and has lots of value and uses. Would love to learn more about what the vapor swing is, I'm super technically challenged. Is it a feature that can offer results to small batches? How does this vapor swing affect the results? Please excuse me if I'm not seeing the answer above somewhere.

Yum! ~MGD

my advice is befriend your local tobacco/cigar shop managers. make up some story about reselling them online, or having friends that use a lot of torches for small welding and soldering jobs. a lot of cigar shops around here have selections of glass and bongs now because we have MMJ here, so if you go to a shop like that maybe even be honest with the dude once you're friendly and such.

I've looked at the catalog for these distributors and such.. vector wholesales to them at $4.40 a can. so when I get multiple cases, a guy i know will just tax me a few bucks on them. if I get less than a case he charges me $5 a can. King I believe is $10.50 or so for a case wholesale to the shops.

So I just let the guy know when I need a few cases ordered and he adds it on to the shops normal order.

the vapor swing or curve as HMK calls his is a piece to vaporize the product with. you heat up a titanium pad and dab a bit of bho on it to vaporize it instead of combusting it.

I negotiated a sweetheart deal for any Oregon OMMP card holder at a shop on Sandy, in Portland, at $25 per 12 300ml can case for 4X Luceine. As you know they retail for about $3.95 per can.

I would recommend selecting promising local businesses and pointing out how much extra butane business that you can generate for them and the number of customers it will add, which are vulnerable to falling in love with other items while in their shop.

Once mine agreed, I used my forum presence to send copious business their way, so it developed into a win win for all involved. Attentive business owners appreciate win-win and can make the best of partners.

Ohmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Nice Job !! & thks for sharing.....

Trichgnomes · May 5, 2011

Wow! Great job. It's cool to see a recovery system seemingly come out of nowhere. Even though you've been designing it and whatnot for a year, to us, it's brand new!

Do you mind saying how much all in all you spent on parts? Very cool design

Way to get to work!

Tr33 · May 5, 2011

nice DK.
something I look forward to making soon.

do you run all your waste products, stems...etc?
