whats up guys? im new to concentrates and have been reading up on small bho runs with no vacuum. looking for some advice wondering if its possibly to make some shatter or bho by running it, then water bath. then oven @ 150 for 25 min. or is it amateur hour and a vacuum is better/smarter.

Well, of course a vacuum is better/smarter but I think if you are just doing small, personal batches than the hot water bath works just fine. If you are especially intolerant or health conscious than vac purge is the only way to go, from a sort of patient prospective. I just do the bath method because I don't generate a ton of trim and what I do with it is for my own purposes only(edibles+hash), I would never give it to someone under the guise that it was 100% purged.

Sure it can be done using only heat. I probly sound like a broken record by now but for personal use you could purge with a mityvac brake bleeder like I do. I can make honeycomb wax with it & it cost me less than $30...add a heating pad for $15 & you got yourself a lo tech DIY vac oven

heat changes the stability of the room temperature form. if you are trying to make shatter then a little more heat is acceptable and even a torch could be used at later stages in the air/heat purge to encourage more b out.

if you want to make the wax however you really dont want much heat if any and the vac is pretty much the only way to force the b out of the product.

My advice would be to winterize your bho with everclear if at all possible if you are not going to vac purge. At least that way you are sure you have purged all the butane. I personally do not care for a product that has not been winterized nor vac purged. If I can taste a hint of butane it makes me gag.

I was thinking of using Everclear 151 as my winterizing solvent but I can't decide between that or 99% ISO..

I think it needs to be 190 proof or more or else too much water. They don't sell 190 proof in some parts of the US and Canada from what I've read, yes?
~yeah, what Twitch said

What ratio do you guys do? 1g bho to 3 tablespoon Everclear/ISO is what I heard but don't remember..

Nope didn't miss anything...
https://secure.drierite.com/catalog3/page4b.cfm proper drierite..notice spelling..though i linked the indicating version. Don't use drierite with cobalt
Notice.. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosin

That's not the dessicant salt calcium sulfate..
Do not use....
No matter what salt you use, some will dissolve in..again a molecular sieve is the "professional" option..but the drierite is better than table salt
Okay so don't use the one you linked basically cause that one uses cobalt correct? Can you link me to the best drierite to use? And also a link to the molecular sieve again? Basically I don't really wanna spend more than ~$20 and if it is re-useable, then that would just be peachy too.
