Here is a simple but effective homeade butane exrtactor that I made using a 600ml pepsi bottle. Please read Fdd2blk's butane extractor thread for a great idea of how this method works. honey oil - made using butane. a tutorial.

First! All the parts you need!

Soda bottle. I used a 600ml.
Re-usable coffee filter.
Paper coffee filter.

The pic is pretty self explanitory! I used 3 screens overlapped, could porbably use just 1-2.

You can see the cap has a few small holes in it! I taped the lid once I filled the bottle.

I tape the paper filter over the lid and for good measure!

Small hole on bottom of bottle for butane tip!


Thats about it. As I said up top. please read fdd's honey oil thread to get a good idea of how to use this. I do not want to be responsible for ppl blowing shit up so I will not explain the method, just how to build one.

cheers mexi!

Kickass man! I'm gonna do this friday/saturday!

Nice one, I have a 3 litre pop squash bottle, just need to buy 5 tins of butane... oh, and find enough trim to fill it.

Aren't you worried about the quality of your final product using this method? Commercial extractors (like the Honey-Bee eXtractor) use high-grade PVC instead of thin PET plastic for a reason. The same reason people who grow at home only use certain metals when making theirs; the solvent apparently dissolves minute amounts of toxic material from the surface plastic into the finished material.

I'm not sure if this is true, but I've heard it repeated often enough by the people who pioneered butane extraction that I'm inclined to believe it. It's always recommended that people make their home-made ones out of pvc or copper.

Yeah, I read that too. It's in the FAQs here on RIU. I just can't find any metal piping lying around. Besides, what's a few more toxins, right?
