Do you even dewax bruh

Discussion in 'Concentrate Tools' started by Dr.Fumbles, Jun 25, 2015.

  1. Someone awhile ago told me the thermos method i posted about didn't dewax. Well i decided to clean out my thermos today and this was about half the fats, waxes and garbage that has been pulled from my runs over the past 6 months. This is a key reason my oil is so clear and golden.

  2. I will admit, i had no idea this much had accumulated at the bottom. Cleaning between runs from now on
     
  3. Thats a shit load of nastys. Can you post link to you describing this method?
     
  4.  Here is how I make my bho with a list of tools and step by step instructions. I would love to make improvements to my process, so please give advice or critique so I can continue to gain knowledge and improve my product But I haven't seen any post on a proper technique guide. 

    List of equipment needed:
    Aluminum/stainless steel thermos(just big enough to fit the amount of bud you normally run)
    Vacuum pump
    Vacuum chamber
    Organic coffee filter
    Toaster oven(one that goes down to 80 degrees)
    Cooler
    Dry ice
    Pyrex measuring cup
    Pyrex dishes
    Ptfe sheets
    Metal strainer(coffee filter size)
    Heating element (that goes down to 90 degrees)
    You will have to make a makeshift lid for the thermos, something metal or glass with a hole in the middle and a few venting holes around the sides. You could possibly use the lid it came with to drill into.
    *I hope that is the entire list

    And this is just the method I use to make oil and I feel like I come out with very good results and I have the product to prove it. The thermos method is used to dewax and remove some fats out of your final product. Winterizing also does this but I like to stay single solvent. A closed loop system will do a better job than the thermos but I can't afford one of those.

    1.break up bud. I like to do this by hand. Yes it takes forever but the product is always a better color and taste. And load into the thermos. Pack it a little but not to tight.

    2.line the Pyrex dish with ptfe sheet

    3. Make sure to freeze the Pyrex measuring cup, strainer, filters, butane, product you are blasting(still in the thermos). I like to let it freeze overnight.

    4. Put thermos into cooler and fill the cooler with dry ice so it is surrounding the thermos till about an inch from the lid.

    5. Blast butane into thermos till butane is just above the weed level. Make sure it has sank all the way in and not still setting to the bottom.

    6. Let it sit for 5-6 hours.

    7. Take the lid off and Make sure the strainer has a coffee filter in it. Then proceed to poor the butane out of the thermos through the coffee filter and strainer into the Pyrex measuring cup.

    8. Make sure the toaster oven is set at around 80-90 degrees and inset the Pyrex measuring cup. Leave the door to the oven cracked with a fan blowing in the room. A lot of people have a problem with this step because they fear it will blow up, but the fact is its not in a pressurized tube, no open flame and the temps are to low to cause damage(done well over 100 blast with zero problems)

    9. when the butane is mostly evaporated out poor the rest into the ptfe lined Pyrex dish and re insert into the toaster oven till it has reached a little more stable less butane consistency(make sure to watch carefully because if you let it evaporate for to Long you won't be able to just poor it into the Pyrex dish)

    10. Make sure the vacuum chamber is on your heat source and is set at 90-100 degrees internal chamber temp.

    11. Now remove the Pyrex out of the toaster oven. Remove the ptfe sheet off the Pyrex and set the ptfe sheet into the vacuum chamber.

    12. Now you will vacuum purge for a minimum of 15 hours with the pump running the entire time. This totally depends on how the oil looks in the chamber and you will get better and trimming it as time goes.

    13. Remove from vacuum purger and flip the slab if you have one or fold into a smaller slab and throw it back in the purger. Do as many times as you want and as you go you will figure out where you need to be at. I like to do a minimun 70 hours total

    14. Smoke your awesome product and enjoy
     
  5. Yea man, lots of nasty shit. Probably close to a qp to a half p of garbage
     
  6. Dude... thats disappointing to hear. has nothing to do with the temperatures or being in a tube. you're surrounding it with electricity..
     
  7. wouldn't a heat plate produce the same type of electricity? What makes a toaster oven unsafe? Serious question, i always thought about it and tried to figure out how it is any more dangerous than a griddle/hot plate.
     
  8. a hot plate is not safe to boil liquid tane with.. water bath. water bath. water bath.


    and "in the room" you boiling off liquid tane in a room? I don't wanna have to make a Florida joke bro.. lmao [​IMG]

    Room = garage, you don't have to worry about that part. but i will take a look into water bath. I can't smoke my product if i blow up
    Everything is done in the garage besides purging. Have the vac and pump inside. my buddy used to do water bath for inital purge but switched to the toaster oven, so when i started i kinda just copied him.
     
  10. Also moving to colorado springs next month and have a vac oven and closed loop waiting for me. So no more florida jokes.
     
  11. is your water heater/furnace in your garage? garage isnt quite safe either, is it at least detached from your house?

     
  12. Not detached, water heater inside, no electromics or working plugs. Crack the garage door and do everything there
    But going water bath, purchasing everything tomorrow
     
  13. Missed yall my phone finally works for grasscity again!
     
  14. Jimmy how do you keep shit from getting in your oil when doing the initial purge in the water bath? I tried a paper towel and it worked very well but still had 2 small pieces of something fall in
     
  15. One of those splatter screens for cooking bacon works pretty well, I only use round pyrex so it fits perfect. I dont normally see too much get in it, if anything does I'll just pick it out with a dabber.
