Hey guys where i'm from we don't hear much about BHO. I've been looking into it recently and the process doesn't look overly complicated but safety precautions should definitely be met. My question is if I have half and ounce of dried herb, how much BHO or wax or whatever its called will it yield? Is it a waste of my herb in the sense that I wont be able to use it for as long ? I will be vaping it in my arizer solo if i do end up making it, i just have no clue on how much it will yield, and how long it will last me in comparison to vaping dried herb instead. If I sound like a retard, I apologise.
bout 2gs of bho. nd it wont turn aoput good most likely since its ur first run. post this in the concentrate section ull get better nd more hlep.
and safer too. all the media needs is some more morons blowing themselves up trying to make bho. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Grasscity Forum mobile app
BHO is really risky man. Idk if u should even make it first off if u get caught (i assume ur not in WA CO or CA) u will go to jail and possibly for 5 years. Also it is a lot more dangerous to make. If u are to do it u need to be outside when it is not too hot (under 90 outside) u have to use glass to extract it and even with those things u can still blow yourself up. BHO also needs to be properly purged and make with the right gas. The only gas i use is newport (about one can per oz of dried bud) because it has the lowest amount of contaminates in it. Butane is not good for you at all, i have had a friend who dabbed unpurged bho (the oil stuff if it moves its not good for u if it sticks its not good for u) and ended up growing a tumor in his brain. NOw aside from all of that you yeild will be based off how good your bud it the higher the thc and cbd the more you will get. If u think ur bud is above 10% it would be worth running (lets say the best weed u have ever smoked in your life is under 25%) and if u are not in a state that has decriminalized weed then u might not even have that. Also u want ur bud to be bone dry and fresh to get that nice yellow or amber color off of it. Idk just my thoughts on it, if i were u i would wait till u can get some stuff from a well known company (terpx HGH FOB xtracted and so on) because those people do it right and what u are smoking is not harmful and u will get a nice clean high and not blow urself up.
Newport definitely doesnt have the lowest amount of contaminants in it, If anything Lucienne is your best bet. and 2g from a zip of nugs is a shitty return, should be in the 4-5 range unless you're running some crap. read up if you plan on using tane, qwiso may be your best bet for safety reasons
I would recommend some micro runs of qwiso to get your feet wet in concentrates. Def don't run the whole zip right off the bat, as there is plenty of trial and error involved in developing your method and I wouldn't want you to make a zip into some sappy black goop. Read up and gather as much info as you can and start experimenting. BHO is an art as much as it is a science and it takes practice. Gotta start somewhere. Read up on Qwiso and try it out. First time I ran BHO I used some garden gloves(that I didn't clean) to hold my tube and got dirt all inside my dish. It sucked, majorly. Just one example of why experimentation is the best experience. Just don't be stupid ;-p
Sorry but your friends tumor has nothing to do with butane inhalation. Yes butane is bad to huff, but is not that bad to injest as we might be. It is a 4 carbon solvent which is fairly easily broken down by the human body. Also just about all the frozen food you eat has traceable amounts of butane. Your average city has more butane vapors in the air than what you inhale from a descently purged bho. Its all media hype.
that would be true as hydrocarbons are not harmful to the human body but if u dab unpurged bho most likely blasted with something like power 5 u get a lot of other stuff in there that is harmful as all butanes are impure but the cheap ones if not purged properly is harmful to smoke.
@[member="dablife247"] where are you getting these facts from?? Can you provide any links or sources?? I'm sorry but It sounds like you are just pulling it out of your ass. Especially after saying Newport is the cleanest tane.... And another thing making bho is illegal everywhere even in CA, WA and CO
This tread could be very informative if y'all could reach an agreement. Perhaps everyone giving advice here can just re check your notes and then come back later. So far this thread has established that making BHO is dangerous, which is good for me to know due to the fact that I like my life and smoking weed makes me happy so using weed in a way that could end my life would be counter productive to some extent or another. Anyways.. This thread has also established that QWISO is a safer alternative for beginners. I like the sound if that and would like to learn more since I just so happen to have my very first batch if QWISO right here.. It was so easy to make I practically pooped it out! And I hardly know what to do with it or if there is a further process I've missed. Can I turn it into shatter? Can I dab it? Does anyone have a link to making QWISO or related topics? Edit: never mind I found Hashmouf's thread
Looks like you washed too long and/or didnt freeze. you should freeze your material and alcohol for at least 12hr before extracting and do multiple short washes to keep chlorophyll pickup to a minimum. it could dab, it could not. only way to know is to throw it on a nail
Thanks jimmy! You are right..I didn't freeze anything. I washed for well over 30 seconds, maybe even over a minute or two I don't remember exactly. It seemed quick at the time. lol Can anyone tell me what the difference is between shatter made from BHO and QWISO in terms of smoking? I already understand the big difference in how they are made, but I'm trying to understand the concept of what sets them apart when used, if there is a difference.
^ not much of a difference except for consistency. Which when done properly qwiso can be pretty much just like bho. Generally bho just gives a little better return, and butane is more selective on what it strips from the material. Less chlorophyll. However Jimmy may have more for ya. I am not a big qwiso guy.
Thank you, that helps a lot! Yeah if jimmy or anyone has anything to add, I'd appreciate it. I've made BHO in the past, you know...the dumb way! It all went extremely well but with one minor problem... Back then there wasn't enough info available to me so I would know if i did it right or not. Well I did, but I didn't know at the time, so I tossed it away! lol but I use to throw around lots of weed back in the day...it wasn't good for much back then! lol
Well tbh i cant prove these with some sort of link to a government standard that shows u the exact amount of impurities in each butane, but it is all from personal experience and also through my talking to people who work for/own extraction companies. Plain and simple newport tane always comes back with the lowest ppm. The other gasses and such that contaminate the butane are heavier and wont get purged out through a simple vac purge, no0w if u have a buchner funnel thats another story but i assume most people do not have this. I do use one myself so my end product is close to as clean as it can get with little to no variation when i use what i call the big three (newport vector and colibri) but the newport has the lowest amount of stuff taken out after i run it through the buchner funnel. And with the whole WA CA CO thing i forgot to mention that if u are a legal caregiver u can make bho in those states and its not too hard to become a caregiver imo. THIS IS ALL FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE u do not have to believe me or take into consideration anything that i have states BUT i would like to say that i have been making bho for a few years now and know many important extract artists and companies and i have gathered a lot of knowledge through such.
A buchner funnel will NOT remove mystery oil and related contaminants, they are oils dissolved into the butane solution and they dont precipitate out of the solution like the fats, waxes, etc. do. and have you not seen any of the MO tests? How can you say Newport comes back the lowest PPM when its got the highest residual contiminants?? You obviously are a little mislead and dont fully understand what you're talking about..
I am sick of this which butane is better when its all right in my thread on the first dam page. power5 was in the top 3 lowest in mystry oil when last I looked, and better than newport. . http://skunkpharmresearch.com/bho-mystery-oil/
