How long does the full bho process take?

So then my 3 step process is a waste? Its not better to also vacuum? Even AFTEr winterizing?
We remove the alcohol after winterizing using vacuum. It is just not necessary before winterizing, because the remaining LPG will leave with the alcohol.

this is what my buddy just told me is he legit or on bullshit

takes up to 6 hrs to pack 26 oz of trim into tubes
blasting takes 4 hrs
purging takes about 30 min per 2g
so he said he can finish between 7g-14g a day

Does that include trimming? It takes me less than 5 minutes to pack a 3.5 lb tube.
blasting takes 4 hrs

Flooding two volumes from the bottom and one from the top takes about 4 minutes. Recovery takes about 1.5 hours
purging takes about 30 min per 2g

At 20% yield, 3.5 lbs of bud produces about 318 grams of concentrate, which takes about 4 hours in the vacuum oven to be below 500 ppm residual LPG.

In blue above:

It what he says is true, I recommend you find a vendor who is more efficient, and if it isn't true, I would find a vendor who didn't BS me.

Ok one more question. Is there a way he could cut my portion or give me a less potent half and keep stronger half for himself.
You can kif the material before extracting.

You can extract the column more than one time, instead of one long extraction. IE: Inject one can and collect the oil, then shoot two more cans and keep that extraction separate. The first extraction is the best.

What material are you supplying and what yield and product are you getting?

blue dream trim he yields about 3.5 grams a ounce. critical kush trim about 5 grams a ounce. a can of butane per ounce. would the second extraction be less potent or just taste not as good?

3.5 gms per oz is 12% and in the ballpark for trim, depending on what is in it. We typically yield about half as much from trim, as from the bud.

The second pull will have less of the lighter elements and more of the heavier ones, so will have less flavor and potency.

What I dont understand is if you pour the mix right after blast and it still has butane with alchol, when you seal the jar and put it in freezer isnt that dangerous with butane still in there?

Not that much butane left. Some leaves when you add the warm alcohol, as it both raises the temperature and reduces the surface tension so the bubbles can readily escape. You have to have at least 1.6% to be flammable.

So once it stop bubbling and is semi stable even if liquidy it wont be dangerous sealed in freezer?

How long does the initial bubble purge last?

I typically add hot ethanol (~150F) to speed up the process and the bubbling last about as long as it takes to add the ethanol and stir enough to dissolve the concentrate.
