Wow Dank that looks really good!! I just made shatter a few weeks ago for the first time. It turned out great but the yield was small like 5%, I just can't seem to figure out what my problem is? I dehydrate for 3 1/2 hrs, pack tightly in tube, and use butane until it runs clear. Is it possible that I'm packing the material too tight? My tube is filled with Blue Dream this morning maybe the GSC I've been using isn't as good as I think? I have ran several runs of GSC and Blue Dream trim with basically the same yield. The GSC will not shatter up it stays in a sap. Any suggestions to increase my yield would be appreciated from you guys and ladies!!

If youre running trim it typically doesnt yield over 9-10% occasionally a little higher if the grower separates the trimmings by first trim and second trim. Second trim is usually a large portion bud and super frosty fan leaves while first trim is mostly fan leaves and not so frosty leaves. But even then most people and myself included yield about 7% ish occasionally in the 9s 10s and 11s but very rarely. So 5% isnt that far off. Ive gotten trim that yields that before.

You could be packing the tube too tight or it could be your butane? Its most likely your material but what butane do ou use? Maybe use something with a little more propane so it creates a higher pressure in the tube? You could also get a stainless steel tube with valves on it to help build up pressure. Other than that only real way to bump yield is to get better starting material or a closed loop.

I use whip it 9X now but started with 5X. Seem about the same I tried a few premium cans of Vector and whip it but saw very little difference in them. I'm pretty new to the dab scene but I get it. I have many different strains to smoke but always go for the dabs now. I tried some OG yesterday in a bong and could taste the butane in my lighter and a strange after taste.. I never even noticed that in the past 20 years of smoking. I'm not sure if I can ever go back to smoking flowers again? The dabs are so clean and such a great high. I bought a couple cases of pens on ebay and now all my buddies are loving the dabs too...

Not all bud is created equal. Some has more frost then others. And I dont think your packing your tube too tight.The butane filtered 5x, 9x or 14x doesnt really make a difference. Honestly I usually get the best stuff from 5x, but I think that is my mistakes not the tane. Weather also makes a difference, you dont want to blast on a rainy day. And keep all your equipment super clean. Lol seriously when first started to use water bath, I thought it was suppose to be a ice water bath. Lol the tane would take hours to evaporate..when I first started making BHO a long time ago. We didn't even purge, we would just let it sit in the sun all day, then wait a couple days before dabbing, lol we would even throw kief on top of butane while it was evaporating. But we were not dabbing back then, we would just top a bowl with it. When you throw kief on it while its evaporating it turns into some crazy chunks of crystals, kind looks like meth but golden..lol. back then we were not worried about plant material

Like G-pens? I like the atmos alot. Im looking to buy a couple cases at wholesale prices send me link. If you dont mind. Dabs are better for your health, some people might argue about that. But smoke 2 bowls out of clean bong and its dirty as fuck, the down stem turns black almost instantly. I can smoke about a gram of dabs before I have to clean my rig. One and done, speaking of tar, BHO has almost no tar. The only thing that makes dabs dangerous is idiots trying to make it.

Yeah its probably just the material then. "filters X timjes" doesnt mean anything but all butanes are created a little different so thats more of what i was saying is that maybe a higher pressure can could make it yield better. I use power 5x and have been forever. I think ive maybe used a handful of other brands that my friends brought and i helped them with everything. Never really noticed any difference besides price. Power 5x is 30 bucks a case and basically everything else is 40, 50, 60 and up!

You should look for the ceramic "wickless" atomizers. Flavor is night and day compared to a silica wick pen. Not even close. Every hit off the silica tastes dry and scratchy no matter how high or low i adjust my battery or how much or little i have packed in. But the ceramic one eats everything and can get super hot without getting a dry scratchy hit.

Another suggestion for any smoker of pens out there, you should drill out the air hole in the bottom of the atomizer. Helps with your draw gives it a lot less restriction. Especially for anyone who does straight lung hits VS mouth to lung.

I would look for something else that "whip it" is not that great.... spray it on a mirror...

One of my local head shops had whipit brand, north sea premium butane buy one get one free. I bought a bunch of cases, the cans are 500ml unlike other brands at just 300ml. However I didnt like it all that much. But once again I think I am the one to blame. You have to perfect your process, one little mistake can effect your consistency every time

ODanksta try lucienne if you haven't already
that is some good tane

I've got some red oil last time.

 

[Twitch]

ummm that does look right

 

[Thundercat]

I've had a few runs turn out colored from light pink to a deep Barney purple. The only thing I could determine as the cause was the c99 material I used having a purple pigment to it. It doesn't do it with other purple material I've ran though so go figure the c99 is special I guess.

 

[Cookaap]

Trichomes can be purple too, maybe thats the reason why the oil is purple or red. Due to that, hashish can turn out purple.
I once had a pheno that was slightly purple but she had purple trichomes. (didnt make oil of her)

dude what starin is that!!!

gorgeous purple trichs!

I made that oil from a purple Red Escape woman. I was really surprised when the ethanol turned purple after dripping it on the buds.

Tnx guys! The strain is called "The Purps" or Mendocino purps. I got it from the breeder growerschoise but there are more, such as bc bud depot.
