shatter - winterized - vacpurged

Discussion in 'Marijuana Stash Box' started by SmokeyOneKenobi, Feb 9, 2016.

  1. I just started making shatter after researching it a lot and following some good advice posted on these forums.
    I vac purged before and after winterizing, also I took safety very seriously.
    Let me know what you think.Criticism would be appreciated, i am going to get them tested this week.

    Looks clean man, would definitely try a dab


    How long did you purge it
     
  3. What did you use to winterize? And also how long did you purge/how many flips.

    I purged into iso originally then i vac purged till a crust starts to form on top, by having that crust there i can freeze it and it allows me to easily peel it off in one big chuck for winterizing. Next I use Everclear and dissolve the bho into it, then i allow that to freeze for at least 12 hours before i strain off all the bad stuff. After that I let the everclear evaporate off till it is completely dry, i find the longer you let it evaporate the less vac purging you need to do in the end. My last step is the final vac purge that basically just foams off the remaining water that is trapped. This usually takes about a day with 2-3 flips all being brought down to -29 with the temp being around 90-110F.


    The last vac purging is fun to watch because it will foam up really cool then as it sits the bubbles will slowly go away till you are left with what is above.


    It has no sizzle or anything when you smoke just burns away very clean.


    I learned this all from these forums so thanks again everyone on here for all the good info! Also i only spent around 200 for all the gear i use. All in all from the first step to the last it usually takes me 24-48 hours to get to what it looks like above.

  5. I would say a perfect run except blasting into iso. If anything blast into everclear, iso is poison. You can consume everclear.
