Has any one any good tips for collecting honey oil and storing using butane gas

i just let the oil and gas set in a bowl then use a credit card to scrape it from the bowl then just put put on my skins and then just use them papers to smoke with some buds

i have only made honey oil 4 times now so im learing still any one with more experance on this :peace:

I've used the butane method i works great.I pour mine in to a little cooking pot that has a pouring spout on the side.when all the gas is gone I heat up the oil and slowly pour it into an oil vial or two. works like a charm.put a few parers under the vile to catch any spills. :)

You could mix it with 99% isopronanol. It will store fairly well and makes getting the honey oil together easier. Let it evaporate off and it will be fine.

thanks kieah but i think i prefair the butane method
plus i got riped off from buying 1 of the honey be extractors so i might as well put it to use lol

ive tryed holding a lighter close to it with ive scraped it up on my credit card to let it drip into a small bottle but never works right

right, it can be extracted with isopropanol, but that stuff is highly flammable. okay, butane is that as well, but iso fumes stay, butane fumes disperse rather quickly, and iso can knock you out in no time, no fun on that one. besides it is maybe carcinogen, so it has to evaporated first before the hash oil can be used. but on the other hand it is cheaper then truckload of small butane bottles...


...oh i can't make up my mind tonight, if you looking for a little hash oil butane is the way i guess, but for a lot you have to go industrial and that means isopropanol is the way.

did you hold that lighter to the bud???! dude, the butane method is a high pressure extraction, thats the only way it works:lol:

Folks,
Been doing the honey oil for a long time, don't make the same mistakes that I did.
When making honey oil please use the butane method but add a step.
I use a 18" x 3/4" pvc pipe with two drilled end caps, 2 oz of white widow (trimmed, dried and crushed) buds and 8 oz of lighter grade (triple refined) butane fuel. When the can is empty, set it aside and plug the hole in the top cap (hold your thumb over it) and continue to hold for 2 minutes after the last drop has fallen. Now set the bomb aside with the drain end sloped downward.
Take your collection bowl (or whatever you used) and set it aside for about 6 hours to let most of the butane to evaporate. You should have a dirty,golden sludge. Now using ONLY 190 proof, GRAIN alcohol (NO ISO), pour about 2 caps full into the sludge and use a stainless steel implement to mix the sludge and alcohol together. You will start to see white floaters suspended in the solution and they will start to clump. I use an old fashion eye dropper at this point to transfer the solution into the vials and let them set for a week with the caps off in a cool, dark place to allow most of the alcohol to evaporate off. Now take that same eye dropper and gently draw off the clear liquid and put it back into the same collection bowl. The white stuff left at the bottom of the vial is now almost pure thc.
Time to get back to the tube. Take the top cap off and discard the top half of the pot. You will want to let the bottom half remain because it now contains more thc than what it started with. Refill the top half and repeat the whole thing.
I refill any vial with the fresh and repeat the process until they are full adding empty vials as needed.

The whole thing is a labor of love and respect. The love for the plant and the respect for whoever uses it. Since the thc is very nearly in its' purest form it can be used for smoking or ingestion with no bad karma for anyone.
For all of you using the alcohol extraction method do yourself a big favor and use the grain alcohol instead of iso or anything else. Yes, it is more expensive but it won't have the impurities left by iso which is not good for your body.

It can be solidified in grain or iso alcohol and moved around as a liquid...

you can freeze it and break it/scrape it off

you can dip into it with a paper clip...then heat the clip and have the blob melt off wherever you place it

what kinda mess ya got goin' anyway? Never really had a problem here dealing with the remains...yuk..yuk.

It should say in this thread a few times how im colleting the oil

thats the 1st time ive heard of freezing it and just breaking it of and scraping it seems the best for both collecting and for storing have you tryed this way

the way ive been doing it is ok

I just think its hard to work with the oil when its sticky and a bit annoying lol SUPPOSE U ARE JUST USED TO WORKING WITH STICKY STUFF LOL

I really just wanted to know more and better ways of doing so

I do mine in a double capped pvc tube and butane I just let it drip out the bottom holes into a cookie sheet then just throw the sheet in the freezer when I wanna smoke a little oil I take a razor and cut my chunk off the cokkie sheet and put it on the bowl. Quick and easy
