i like to get the final honeycomb/wax product, i use power 5 butane..

you seem to have really good information on BHO.. is there a better solvent you recommend? im paying about 2.70 a can, and i get about 2.5 -3 g o wax out/can.. i would love to cut my costs down.. im open to new ideas, but i really like my final product to be the wax, and i really like it to not bubble, or crackle, and just melt... can you please throw lots of great information at meee :] or links, or what not, anything and everything, thanks!
From what I've heard, power5 is really tripled filtered, and power7 is really 5x filtered, since they count their paper filters as part of the process too. Supposedly Vector is better, but I dunno.

The whole XXX thing is a Madison Avenue plaudit to separate us from our money and has nothing to do with the products suitability for extraction. They are doing the extra refining steps to remove oleagenous waxes, which clog the small orifices of expensive lighters. The oleagenous waxes in butane are paraffin and no more toxic than the plant waxes.

i really wish i had your background knowledge.....

in YOUR opinion, how bad on health is purged BH? how bad for my health would you say Power 5, 7 vetor 3, 5, 42 is for me? i like to smoke my hash with heated elements(stone, skillet), not combustible ones (lighter) .. but if i smoke a bowl of flower, im using my lighter to ignite my leaf, and who knows how much bad stuff i get off the lighter and what not.. (this really depends on process, and who done it, but lets say its pretty top notch for this sake )

which do you think gives you more harmful material:

a non combusted heated up BH hit.

or a snap of some nice weed, with my bic lighter?

....... by the prcocess, it seems like you are smoking a lot of other stuff with the leaf and lighter ( im no hater of that btw)

but on the other hand, even though purged for daysssss, and looks good, and melts good, the tane is a polar solvent.. does it only stay polar when its freezing cold?????

how on earth do you now so much? were you part of a secret society that created solvent hashhhhish?
 
anyone know why the batch of iso I made is more powdery than pastey? Not entirely important,I was just curios. Its more of a keef ball than anything.

Residual butane, at the levels found in badly purged BHO, is more of a taste issue, than a health issue, as it is far below Permissible Exposure Limits. n-Butane is non toxic enough to be used as a food propellant. IE:

ACGIH TLV (United States, 2/2010).
TWA: 1000 ppm 8 hour(s).
NIOSH REL (United States, 6/2009).
TWA: 1900 mg/m³ 10 hour(s).
TWA: 800 ppm 10hour(s).
OSHA PEL 1989 (United States, 3/1989).
TWA: 1900 mg/m³ 8 hour(s).
TWA: 800 ppm 8hour(s)

The evil spirits found in butane scheduled for stove fuel, is ethyl mercaptans, a rotten egg odorant, added for leak detection.

Raw butane from the well head may also contain Hydrogen Sulfide, which is typically removed in a desulphurization step, using steam injection and a catalyst. Lighter fuel is typically cleaned of Hydrogen Sulfide and no mercaptans are added, due to its small volume and intended use.

There is little question that combusting either herb or oil produces carcinogenic byproducts of pyrolysis. That is because the terpenes are alkenes, which are easily altered by incomplete combustion, to other alkene configurations, like Benzene. No different than what it does to tobacco alkenes and it produces some of the same byproducts.

Simple vaporization doesn't break down the alkenes and therefore sidesteps that issue.

Thanks for the good thoughts! Faded blue dawgs in the mirror may be more ignorant than they appear and know a lot of trivia just by virtue of paying attention and being really old.

After 40 years of self medication, I retired from engineering processes and equipment in industry, and made learning about cannabis a central focus, starting about 2005. Similar to what I did to learn the manufacturing engineering trade that fed me and my family prior to 2005. I sought out and allied myself with other scientifically minded folks, and ran lots of experiments.

Alas, the more I've learned, the more I've learned of the depth of my ignorance, and I feel like I'm just scratching the surface. How much easier it would be if there were no underlying agendas, and everyone freely shared..................................
