First time making bho, few questions.

  1. well this summer I smoked some bho for the first time and am in love with it. I went from smoking a oz of mids a week to only dabs. It's actually cheap bc a gram lasts me a week or two although they r expensive. I save $ not buying $100/oz a week.
    Anyway I have to go through middle men to get it. It's $50/g no breaks and I usually buy 5-10g at a time. And the middle men never want to get it even though I pay them to get it.
    Sooooo I have some $ to blow and am really interested in trying to make some myself. So I bought 2 cans of 5 time filtered butane, metal Turkey baster, Pyrex dish and a hotplate, and a oz of mids/good reg lol
    I struggled with the idea will mids be good enough for bho? I mean people use trim and fan leaves to mak3 dabs , i figure it has to be somewhat equal to trim. Minus t he dank taste. So what do people think of using mids for bho, also some people say grind it to e powder som3 say leav3 it in buds. I am thinking breaking it all up to small buds ?


    So ima put my butane and bud in the freezer, then run 5 or 10 oz through it onto a Pyrex dish. Double boil off the butane and then put the Pyrex on a hotplae to further purge. I've seen you tube vids with this method and it works from what they showed. Anyway just wanted some pointers or tips for tomarow, thanks

     
  2. so I made it ! It's not super dank but it does get me really high.and im quite proud of it for my first try. Im confident with refining technique i can supply myself . I did a couple things wrong I'm gonna change tomarow when I run 1oz + 7g kief.
    I have a half inch wide about 15' long pvc pipe, I know I know but I wanted to see if I could even do it before invested alot of $. Anyway it had 6 holes in the bottom one on the opposite end. I sprayed 11 oz butane through it. I forgot to heat up water for the double boiler and by the time I did it was all evaporated mostly. So I add 145 degree water to the double boiler. It was golden honey and popping big bubbles like on you tube vids. After I sprayed it up it was just like peanut butter then I put on wax paper on My hot plate 140 for 5 min and it dried into green instead of the gold peanut butter and it's like light greenish cloudy taffy I got 2.5g back from 25g mids 1g kief. I felt like the hot plate was too hot and maybe burnt some of let out terps and that's why it's cloudy green. '
    So I'm thinking it not purged enough . It it taffy like with a million holes popped in it. Like this honeycomb crackle I had once.
    I have pics any advice or tips to make it the best it can be ?
    Next time should I put a coffe filter on the bottom of bho pipe and rubber band or duct tape it. so shake and other plant matter don't get into my Pyrex pot ?
    Also when I go to attach image it says no pics how do I add pics ? I have a vid too
     
  3. Stop trying to make oil until you buy proper equipment. All you are doing is killing yourself with the garbage you made. A 5 min purge? Are you joking????
     
  4. Ya too much waste if not done correctly.also you're inhaling butane.
     
  5. watch this vid and follow it, perfect shatter :)
