6 grams of dank, half a baster full, worth doing BHO run?

  1. Never done bho before but I got a stainless steel turkey baster, colibri butane and cheesecloth/coffee filters so I was wanting to try it quite badly. I only have enough however to full half the tube, could I still do a successful and effective BHO run? Thanks
     
  2. i can't say for sure cause i've never made bho, but most of the instructions i've read have said to make sure that the tube is packed well. I'd just make some QWISO if I were you.
     
  3. no you need to pack the tube or the extra space will keep the butane from staying in a liquid solvent state.

    are you sure about that? because everytime ill pack mine slightly and everytime i shoot the butane in there it compacts the weed and the first 2 inches of space is all air.

    i have had great luck with BHO too. would it have been better if i would have packed it hard so there is no space at all?

    EDIT:

    after looking into it...im going to fill my turkey baster a little more and see if that helps with my yields. I read through that BHO thread and there is a lot of good info in there.
     
  5. yes i am positive
     
  6. You are blasting through a turkey baster????? That's a no.
     
  7. Stainless is great lol^
     
    Pack the empty space with unbleached coffee filters. its needs to be tightly/evenly packed.
     
    You're working with a pressurized fluid so its going to want to take the path of least resistance, if you have air gaps, its gonna want to go through those gaps and not your material. If you pack tight/even, the solvent has no choice but to pass through your material
