Anyone familiar with making solvent-free hash oil?

They say the vendor who makes it doesn't want his secret getting out, so I've taken it upon myself to find out. Anyone have anything?

There's web references dating back to October of 2010.. where they were cookin' down trichomes with a crock pot.. lol.. (No idea if this works at all) Personally, if you have the budget.. use ScCO2 - keep in mind that is a very expensive technique (compared to others) unless you're loaded.

Interesting keep us updated!

IMG_20130113_153418.jpgCosub2 and subcritical water are the best solvents to use. Even if high pressure air was used, it would still require a co-solvent to dissolve the solids into oils. I really would consider this blown outa preportion. I mean come on most people on these threads think bho is the biz when its really only a cheap thrill. Its the closest thing to a co2 extraction but still so hella far away. It would never progress and gain the technological advances to ever really give co2 a run for its money. Co2 only cost more for the vessels. The solvent themselves are a lot cheaper. I spend $1.30 a lbs for solid co2 and about 0.75cents per lbs of liquid.

I've seen a thread regarding vaporizing the oil using heat and then condensing it back to an oil using a chilled surface.

start by keifing out your material, then grade it out, you have to seperate the full melt trichomes out, after that take all your full melt trichs and add some distilled water to your full melt trichs in a pyrex at 145 degrees, it takes a while but once they are warmed up the water can easily be poured off and the warmed trichs will coalesce with a fork or dabber

BTW, THIS IS ALSO THE FUTURE OF WAX AND OIL.
Bho and wax making through blowing butane is illegal in many states and will only become more extinct as the years go forward.

I guarantee it will be outlawed totally here in colorado when they finish the new rules and release them later this year.

futhermore i am sick and fucking tired of these self righteous deuchebags that have these "secrets" and "clones" they dont want to share with anyone. it is my mission in life to completely demystify this plant and all of the dumb lies and bullshit secrets out there, meanwhile punking all of these pothead martyrs that have had it soooo bad, lmfao. all my knowledge checks out with experience and its free, i am not trying to get rich or to make a name for myself, i am trying to make enough good medicine for sick fucking planet.

Village idiots blowing themselves up, most assuredly will result in more widespread legislation proscribing butane extraction, though butane extraction using a Terpenator is no more unsafe than refrigeration systems using R-600 refrigerant.

Your process looks interesting, but it doesn't look like it will produce the absolute oils needed for oral and topical application, which is the lions share of the oil that we supply to patients. My guess is that recirculating butane systems may eventually get some slack, but that SCFE CO2 will most likely become the standard.

i agree, and thats what ive heard too, about the co2, but i think the outlawing of butane will have more to do with just blowing a bunch of hydrocarbons into the atmosphere. the EPA wont allow it.

is the terpenator the same thing as a tamisium extractor?

what exactly is an absolute oil?
