Yeah just a different means and I would say with a very substantial amount less plant material. My oils turn out clear and tasty. IMO butane extraction is far easier than other methods and produces great results. While the potency jump may seem trivial it's really closer to a 25% increase when look at those numbers. I think most good oils will test 80-90% but can go into the 99th percentile in purity.I will ceph. I'm definitely curious. Just wondering *why* it's better than hash.
I'll ask again .... is it just a different means of extracting the same thing, or is there something else I'm missing?
awesome! talk about stopping a conversation!! its because I'm not from the great state of Michigan isn't it
I know , but I have been there and I was born right next to there so this vacuum purging, and heating and whipping must have something to do with consistency .
Dude, no offense, but we have a really tight knit community going here. We all stick together and you don't catch us all arguing like I hear about on other sites. It's give and take on the michigan forum. It's like we know what each other are gonna type, before we even type it.
Just bullshitting with you. You asked the one person who has a tamisium about one and he isn't online. I think if you go through all the threads you will find that we will argue with people from anywhere.
I was concerned about butane until I realized I get butane through using a lighter so I say why not!! I believe I can taste the butane though in this batch which is runnier than all the other batches we've done. usually comes out glass and taste like flowers. Nice to see people interested in the oil! and from what i know oil is 40-60 per gram.
I'm with this. I just don't trust that the butane is harmless. Condensed is powerful stuff, good medicine for some..but I'm leery of butane...
With a proper purge and at least 4x refined high quality butane, you should have ZERO butane taste. It takes a couple tries to master it but it's just a back and forth heat, purge, heat purge, until there are no more bubbles left. I usually purge at least 3-4 times. Takes some effort but quality oil is a beautiful thing. I truly believe once marijuana becomes more commercialized, oil will become the preference amongst the real enthusiasts. It takes a lot of raw material to make but it's a much more pure substance.
Just think of all that cheap butane you're inhaling with those $1 gas station taiwanese made lighters...
If you're using high quality butane and performing a thorough purge, you should have no butane left.
pharmacoping, I think just the person I was looking for, I just bought a tamisium.
Odd, wax is nasty? oh well. I was just going to ask you how I get that wax consistency as opposed to an oil.
well, first lets define "wax". there are real "waxes" in our plant material. "Wax" may be a slang term for an extract, but in reality, some really is wax. The extract objective is to obtain pure oil, not wax, cholorophyl,and other non goodies. If you're smoking real wax, yuck.
Now if you want a different consistancy extract, other than the pure oil, it will have to be chemically changed with temperatures, plant material, wax, chlorophyl, etc. Matt rize is the tutor on this subject, as he only uses ice water extractions. I'm guessing he also freezes the extract in an attempt to filter out some of the no desired constituents.
freezing, warming, drying, curing etc should give you what you're looking for, but water extractions will give you real "wax" and also be true to the slang term "wax" .
hope this helps. heating oil extract will almost immediately remove the terpine profile form the oil, losing those beautiful fulll bodies flavors and fragrance, and I suspect medicinal qualities also.
You sir, are full of useful information.
BTW, I've made some cruddy batches that produced ear wax and budder which were imperfect batches of BHO but goddamn, it still fucks ya around plenty good.
I remember my first batch I ever did with some good popcorn nuggies...I had 6 or 7 pieces of parchment paper in my freezer with nice big blobs of BHO smeared on them. Break off a nice little piece of shatter and pop it in a bowl or smear it on a paper and twist one up. Either way...it was wonderful month I had melting all that down.
thats so cool, I stored mine the same way forever, till she wanted to put food in there instead !!!
Today I syringe it up and inject them into (1g) dose pyrex screw top vials, give all patients a gifted vaap like this..
very slick
