I have a good amount of trim in my freezer. I decided that I want to try making butane extracted shatter from it. I just have a few questions first. Would it be possible to use a plastic bottle If I poke the right sized holes in it for the extraction tube? How much butane should I use per ounce of trim? And after I use the extraction tube what steps do I do next? As far as I know, you just let the butane evaporate with time and a little heat. Or will that not get rid of all the butane? I saw some people use pressure but I don't have a way to do that.
If you can't do it right with an extraction tube and vac chamber I'd advise you not to do it.I have and never got anything smoke quality using just heat and time. I even blasted into Everclear- made no difference- not smoke quality. If you decide to go ahead, don't use a plastic bottle. Use a glass jar with a screw on seal-able lid. Poke holes in the lid to inject the butane and to allow some pressure to escape. I used my BHO for edibles as it gave me a sore throat. Good luck and for goodness sake be careful! You can seriously blow your self up with butane.
Definitely dangerous and not something to play with do-it-yourself things. If you can't afford open or closed loop extractor from better value vacs best to wait until you can
Thank you for the replys. I would be doing it outside for safety. But since I don't have the proper equipment is there another extraction method anyone could recommend for getting decent dab or hash. I was also thinking bubble hash but I would need some micron bags for that.
You could do a quick wash with Iso, or better yet, grain alcohol. Then allow the alcohol to evaporate. A quick wash should get you something smoke able. Check out YouTube. The problem with using trim is it takes so much solvent to process a lot of trim. It's easily made into butter or canna coconut oil, but to get something smoke able is more difficult. You could also dry sift. Good luck. Let us know what you decide to do.
Seen this before. One dude blew up his entire house with butane, ran out like a flaming hot cheeto. RIP we’ve lost some quality dumbasses in the pursuit of BHO. get the micron bags for your trim or just press it into rosin. No need in getting crazy for trim.
It can be done easily. However, you need to have a basic understanding of how volitile gases function in my opinion. You also need to realize that ANY SPARK is a bad spark. Did you know your refrigerator creates an arc of electricity when it kicks on? Or how about fans? The electric motor creates an almost constant arc. If you need a fan for ventilation the motor needs to be sealed. Dogs are a great source of ignition for butane. Static build up in their fur can create an arc. Long hair is the same, and is even worse when the weather is dry. I've been blasting for a decade and have never had an incident. That said....it is still risky. Good quality BHO can be had...
