Read THIS if you smoke BHO*

As you'll see, it contains 60% n-butane, 29% iso-butane, and 11% propane. It does not contain any additive like mercaptan to create an odor.

Pure n-butane is not easy to come by. It comes in a canister, not a can. You'll need to order it from a gas supply company. In addition, by default, the cansiter you get from a gas company is configured to deliver the n-butane as a gas. For extraction, we need our butane in liquid form, so you'd need to have the gas company fit your canister with something called an eductor tube so that gas is released as a liquid.

If you make it that far, and purchase an eductor fitted canister full of n-butane, then you'll have to figure out how to connect it to an extraction tube

I suspect that going pure n-butane isn't practical until you up your BHO game to a Tamisium

great post, thanks for the knowledge

even with a Tami its not worth the extra money to get the nbutane. i know many with tamis. none run n-butane. cans in a tami for the half ass win i guess

Ok thanks for the information. Guess I'll just be sticking to the cans I can find locally. Hopefully this stuff causes no health problems. After checking out your ice wax Matt rize I'm thinking I'm going to have to give it a try.

yup yup butanes also nasty. i wrote a thread in the past overnite became hot, and did i piss off butane die hards royally. maybe i will write another as i feel the same way matt does. rize up the bar to co2.yeah yeah!!!

n-butane means normal butane. really not that hard to come by. maybe u should look into lpg instead? but imo and expierience iso-butane is what you should be extracting w, not n-butane as that shits dirty. dimethyl propane is way more efficient and thurough than n or iso butane, but the trade off is taste. that nastiness can be treated w activated charcoal column to minimize that, but its inherit. co2 is where its at for oil. the next thing best is far behind as butane extracts. not in the same leagues at all.

Make sure you only use a high quality quintuple refined butane like Vector, and that you completely purge your oil. I see an awful lot of under purged oil that is still obviously full of butane out there. And while I'm not an opponent of BHO, ice water extraction is definitely a less dangerous process.

truth is you won't have fully purged BHO unless you have a real vac, or over heat it.

I have seen some beautiful oil that was only oven purged, but I much prefer a combination of low heat and vacuum. That means a good 2 stage pump and a real vacuum chamber.. no mason jars, no mighty vac, no food sealers... those things are dangerous and don't work well.

I would think that educating people on how to do it correctly would be a priority. I seriously doubt that even the most stupid people would intentionally blow themselves up if they could avoid it. I've seen some pretty fucking stupid guys who successfully cook meth without injury, but thay were taught safety precautions.
