I discovered bho a few years ago and absolutely fell in love with it due to the fact that you don't have to consume a large amount for a large effect and the effect it produced for me was very different and much more pleasurable than smoking dried flowers. I also noticed the irritation in my throat was significantly less because I smoked BHO much less frequently than when I had been smoking dried flowers. All in all BHO was and continues to be a hands down win for me and now that I have a perpetual grow setup, I am now interested in learning how to perfect the process of purging that I never really did perfect.
From what I can remember years ago, after the hot water bath OUTSIDE you then transfer the non purged oil into a smaller dish and set on a hot plate at a steady 120 degrees Fahrenheit for about 12 hours and VOILA!
I haven't made oil in a couple years or so I thought I'd check in with people that know better than myself to help steer me in the right direction on this purging process. I am patient and I am absolutely in no hurry or rush for a finished product so if the 12 hour hot plate at 120 F will provide a 100% purge then I will continue with good old reliable.
I've seen some pretty wild stuff with people using all sorts of extraction devices from simple to closed loop systems which all seems unnecessary to simply purge the gas from the oil product.
A feller by the name of fdd2black (misspell?) once chimed in with some great advice on a long thread about purging BHO. He told everybody to stop complicating a simple process and told people to use the power of the SUN to purge your bho. If I remember right he covered the pyrex dish so as to protect the precious oil from any flying contaminants and then just left it out in the sun for 2 days and he got beautifully purged bho...no pumps required. With that said, I can't really set my BHO outside in the sun due to neighbors but could I not put it in my flower tent for a nice safe purge under a glowing 600w hortilux hps? The gears in my brain are rapidly spinning...
Anyhow, I've said my piece now hopefully the pros here in concentrates can help steer me in the right direction so I can help the rest of the world learn how to easily and safely make properly purged bho
