Hello guys. It's been a long time since I've been here to riu. Never posted here in the concentrate forum before I don't believe. Any ways I've been lurking for a long time and figured I would finally make a post. All your guys pictures look absolutely phenomenal. I figured I would share a few of my own. 20140404_175324.jpg20140413_221937.jpg 20140319_224720.jpg 20140319_224832.jpg IMG_20140408_163217.jpg can't forget a picture of my workhorse.

^ 125 is too hot for shatter in my opinion. 120 is where I make wax. No need for 2 cans of tane for 14 g. of material. Usually 1 can per oz. is enough. Shits expensive.

yeah I definitely over rinse. the thing I was taught is let a few drops hit your finger, and dry for 5-10 seconds... if its sticky, you still got a tiny bit left. mine is usually still sticky after 1 can, just a little sticky though.

ive been making lots of shatter recently for years at 120F, dial barely ever moves on the griddle, so its just surprising that this stuff waxed so quick. only time ive ever waxed at 120f is leaving it in for a week straight!! I hate wax, im already annoyed with it!

seems like its all strain dependent (age maybe too) as my technique never ever changes. you guys ever find this too? im sure im not the only one who does the exact same things every single time when making oil.

I stop spraying half ways through and shake the hell out of the extractor, also chop pretty finely before packing the extractor. it gets rinsed very hard. im scared to leave anything behind... the bud cost is what kills me not the butane cost at 6$ a can!!

so i winterized some BHO not bad taste wise but definitely not as tasty as before. around 8.2 grams of this



and its goop. vac like hell 24.5" here in Denver 29.5 " no more everclear in it but it just will not do anything other then this



any ideas why I cant get it to harden ?

everclear is tough, either needs lotsss of time at a very thin layer, or vac for a day or 2 ive found mine needed at 110F or so, enough heat to keep it soft and liquid so the everclear can escape, but not enough to make it "perma goooo" . the chamber may need the odd "re vac" just turn the vacuum on and let it run for a minute or 2.

also, the part a lot of people screw up is the filtering... everything needs to remain very cold, it takes a long time to filter the everclear, so if you do it anywhere out of the freezer with anything other than cold tools it will warm up to the point where some of the waxes start to melt back into the oil causing the winterizing process to be kind of ineffective.

also, yeah it will kill the taste. it sucks.

Hashman lemme see if i can help, i winterize everything so maybe i can help.
How much liquid did you put in the chamber, how long did you let the liquid sit, did by any chance you have a alcohol catching cold trap between the chamber and your pump? Blind guess you fucked your vac oil n your not pulling deep enough to expose the final level of alcohol. Did you flip your oil and re administer the vac? I could vac continuously for 3 years and nothing would happen, if i flipped it solvent bubbles from the floor would explode all over again n start purging.

If your not reclaiming your acohol id evap as much as you can by making a parchment dish in a cake pan lets say and sticking it in an "UP draft" food dehydrator on 95f. Your pump will thank you and perform the final blow much better and much more often. The problem with chamber etoh liquid pool evap is you first fuck your vac, then by using over n over making weak pulls it eventually gets hot enough to burn off the alcohol n then you get a good run again so you don't bother addressing the bad oil.

I fucked off one weekend and didn't hook up my cold trap even though it was on, within an hour my pump wouldn't pull below 28.5. I drained all the oil strained it through coffee filters all day and warmed it then put it back. Ran the pump for 6 hours and it was back to 29.92 where i like it. Oh taking the oil out and Not filtering it or warming it didn't do jack shit the day before when i tried.

Hey Vp I was just thinking of one time where you got mad at me, can you believe i still run my pump continously for days because thats what the manufacturer says it likes and is built to do. Vac pumps hate working under cold conditions like a 10 minute pull every few hours. I know my pump will pull 29.92 but after 5 hours it pulls 29.95+ n does where shit with my temps turning lets say 115f into 135f by vac umffff. maybe giving it ago will help viagra up the winterized cuzz man oh man does working in the freezer introduce water

yeah running the pump for days at a time is pointless IMO. extra wear and tear on everything just for a .000001% vacuum gain.

thanks for the likes guys

@ WarMachine
i love it, i only used approximately 4 grams of the kryptonite i posted a few pages back and got that nice lil chunk along with a 2nd grade that i didn't take pics of
and the bud still has lots of visible trichomes

it is much tastier than any of my more recent extracts that's for sure
I smoke it out of my SSV normally but took it to a buddies house on 420 and used his e-nail and it burnt just fine, kinda slow but it definitely worked

I second everything Saybian said about winterizing. Good tips and trick in there that took me a while to figure out on my own. Luckily I didn't kill ant pumps in the process. The parchment dish works great for evaping the alcohol. Usually only takes 24-36 hrs. And def vac for a long time. Just like already said you flip it after no reaction and get a flurry of bubbles come up. And beautiful dry sift there Texas.
To VP on the waxing. I have a strain that just wants to wax no matter what temp you purge it at. Def a strain thing. I am a lot like you and prefer mine a shatter consistency over wax.

id have to disagree on the parchment paper dish to hold your everclear while it evaporates. I did that overnight time and boy what a mess... I used a plain small salad bowl thinking that nothing would drop through the parchment paper... wrong. huge oil mess on the parchment paper and a huge mess in the salad dish that I couldnt scrape. the parchment paper let the alcohol drip through and evaporate. not impressed. stainless steel bowls for me.
