This won't work for everyone, obviously, but it works well for me. Never liked extracting outside, always seems to be a bit of dirt or something that gets into the oil... YMMV.

i alway shoot outside on my porch and my house is surrounded by large trees, basically forest. its a covered porch, i never get any contaminants outside. i wonder know why you would.

when i am done running the tane i take the tube and cut off the zip tie immediately and empty the weed out right away, it makes the tube stay super clean. i am not sure why you leave it to drip, just thought i would share that it can be emptied immediately, and its nice for a clean tube afterwords, no sticky.

It depends on the ecology of the environment,
on the twelfth floor of an apartment building in the city, I use the outdoor fire escape,
there is a magnificent three-dimensional natural ventilation, but there is always some kind of dust.
namely the need to remove the debris flown into BHO forced me to dissolve it in ethanol for the first time.

This is basically exactly what I do. The overhang blocks any contaminants. I always clean my glass tubes right away, as I agree, it makes the tube stay super clean.

GW- What is your opinion of performing an extraction with a closed system( i.e. proprietary SS system or DIY system a la foaf, yourself, or DK) in a specialty designed spark free room, with a vent-hood suitable for solvents being used, as well as using all standard lab precautions.

I still run my butane extraction and recycle system outside under a pop-up cannopy with fans blowing, just in case something goes wrong.

If I had a suitable ventilation hood and spark free exhaust enclosure, I would have no problem running it indoors.

I know a cat that dodged the flaming bullet when doing his BHO run (indoors no less) even AFTER I iterated, and reiterated the fact that it should be done OUTSIDE.

He was using an electric hot plate to help evap the butane and had several successful runs. The one time that the 'heating light' (you know the little orange light that pops on to let you know its bringing the temp up again?) Yup, thats all it took to make a nice big *WOOSH*

I think he got the point then...

I do my extraction process in a detached garage / workshop. I rarely release enough butane to warrant any concern. That said, it does take a healthy dose of common sense to keep it safe.

Because I live in a windy desert environment, theres always dust blowing around outside to some degree. I've refined my technique down to a t, for my area. YMMV.

The reason why I leave it to drip? Because I'm not gonna let it sit there waiting for the last 5% to drip out (on a okief xl or similar, after doing 3-3.5 cans), it will drip out a couple of grams after the lions share of the butane runs through. It takes way too long, I'd rather just set it off to the side while I'm getting the main part evap'd. It really does drip out quite a bit: ask my buddy, he found out the hard way after he semi-ruined the finish on his table, thought it was done running out (his lady just about killed him).

Not really concerned about the tube being hard to clean, it's not hard to dump it out and use a bit of alcohol to clean it out. (remember, I use stainless extractors)
