Some home made stuff, made it with my new process and loving it....

and here it is again,

Made by spreading sheet of teflon over pot with water (60degrees C) then spraying into it, leaving nothing but oil. I give it another 15min on the hot water and it is done...I would nt have believed it if i didn't see it myself. Does not sparkle one bit, and vapes away completely on the nail (leaves no residue)...

A lot different of a texture then the other stuff I have been blowing. I went and got one of those sil pads and I blow directly on to that now and it makes the purging process way faster.

A non-polar solvent will break down a silpat. Be careful. Don't want to be dabbing silicone. They're really only 100% safe for ISO purging.

yea well I have seen a ton of people doing it so I just went ahead and did it too. Seemed to work out wonderfully.

Had my son go back and grab some indica. This is Afgoo CBD Honey Oil. It's 63.21% THC and 4.78% CBD. I am waiting until bedtime to try this one. my Son just dabbed a very tiny amount and was VERY medicated, hehe.

From what I have read, you should never blast directly onto parchment or a silicone pad, because there is a chance that the butane will interact with the silicon and introduce impurities into your concentrate. As much as we all love to spray directly onto parchment so we don't have to fucking scrape any pyrex, it seems best that we do not do that if purity and health are our concerns. I am now blasting into the pyrex, then scraping and transferring onto parchment. Once the butane has been purged then I think it's ok to put it on a silicone pad or parchment. :2c:

BHO-budder(some water got in there whilst blasting,didn't effect the taste or quality very much thankfully) made with a turkeybaster,Colibri butane and Amnesia Haze buds.

A very short,cold alcohol-extraction of Amnesia Haze buds resulted in this :

I like it a lot!:mmmm:

Ok, yea... How did you make this,exactly? We make some nice bubble, but recently tried some BHO from a dispensary. Stuff is great, but I don't want to fuck with butane.

That Afgoo wasn't bho?

People are quite concerned with butane left over. What I would like to see is a some random bho's tested from random dispensaries and see what amount of butane if any is left in the product. If there is any left in the product I would like someone who is qualified(pulmonologist for example) access the risks if any. Unless you are talking about the safety of making bho. I don't find that to be a problem either. I do it in my garage with the door open far enough and fan blowing all the fumes outside. I also unplug electrical stuff in the area.

As for spraying onto silicone, I think Oil Slick might have changed their material to be safe to spray on but I'm not sure. I should know tomorrow since I sent them an e-mail about earlier today.

I'm not talented enough to make my own hash, so I put my trust in friends. That being said, I would rather have bubble hash over anything made with a solvent. It just seems cleaner to me. Since I am not well, I don't want to risk using anything that could make me more sick. Am I just being paranoid or is it a valid concern for someone like myself?

That's what I kind of was getting at. You hear about how bad it is but I have yet to see one lab test that shows there was an un-safe amount(or any) amount of butane left over in properly purged oil. I'm not saying it's not out there but I haven't seen it. Also, if there was a tiny amount of butane in it would that be any different than someone torching their bud with a bic?

I don't honestly know and I'd bet nobody here does either. I don't mean any offense to anyone but unless someone provides proof that properly purged bho contains an unsafe(determined by a doctor, probably a pulmonary would be best but that's just my guess) amount of butane then who's to say.

Also, if you found out it was safe I'm sure you could learn to make it easily enough. Your quality will probably increase over time as I'm hoping mine will but it's pretty easy. It gets more difficult from what I've read when it comes to the heat(if any) and purging process as they can be altered to get a slightly different product.

Cliff Notes: I'm not saying it's not bad for you....or vice versa. I'd personally just like to see some solid evidence you know.........not "that's bad for you."

It isn't the butane that's dangerous to inhale....it's everything us as humans put in it that's bad. You can probably look up the boiling points of all those chemicals and then have a rough idea?

"That Afgoo wasn't bho?"

Yes it is, but it was bought at a dispensary and checked independently. I tried making BHO once and got practically no return and it was a pain in the ass. I did it outside and that's how I would always do it. I'd rather make QWISO if I could get it to come out like BHO. I'd rather not spend money on the BHO, but I also don't want to make it. I think I'm more concerned about the purge.

^^This I think everyone is freaking out over MAYBE a little bit of butane. Anyone ever used a vapor genie??? or the like?? I bet you consume more butane hitting one of those then you would of unproperly purged BHO. Like this guy said show me some proof and I'll change my tune

I use Alcohol Absolutus min. 99.8%,which is used in the food and cosmetic industry,but which also normally isn't readily available to the average consumer i'm afraid(pricey as well).
I luckily manage to sneakiliy get my hands on a 5 liter jerrycan now and again.:brow:

Left the buds in the freezer for two days along with the amount of alcohol needed.
Put the buds in a glass beaker(held only half the buds,so did this twice),stirred for no more then 10 seconds with a glass rod,then into a hemp coffeefilter(primed with a bit of pure alcohol) to drip into this glass dish.
The one thing i did do,which probably gave it the still lightly dark colouration,was squeeze the coffeefilter,to get most of the alcohol with dissolved content out.
I love this stuff and it's the closest i've come to the normally more pure BHO,but i wouldn't mistake it for that.
Yieldwise i also think it wasn't very good,but qualitywise...i will be doing it again i highly suspect.:D

Hard question,i also think the dangers are frequently being overstated,then again certain elements(heavy metals etc.) can do harm with very small amounts.
The solvent used is a big factor,with the Colibri i use i can detect no taste/odour which isn't plant,but i've seen and tasted BHO where you could taste/smell an unpleasant aftertaste.
Ingesting that i wouldn't recommend to anyone,let alone if you already have to be a bit more careful than usual.

So a fair degree of caution and common sense seems in order,if not convinced...just say no!;)

If you're sick and have respiratory problems or something else going on, I can completely understand being worried about solvents. I don't think there is much information about the dangers of inhaling them while sick.

However, I quit worrying about it to much after I actually researched the solvents and chemicals inside the can of butane. If you look up the health hazards of inhaling butane, there aren't any, really. Inhaling small amounts of butane is totally safe. The warnings come in at the point in which there is not enough oxygen left in the air and you can suffocate. It also warns of frostbite for people trying to huff it. Methyl Mercaptan(the smell) is actually the worst thing in that can...and even it's safe to inhale in small quantities. It's the worst just because you can't purge it out. Boiling point is to high.

Seriously, though, don't take my word on this. That's everyone's problem here. These forums are awesome, but everything you see here is some one's opinion. Look at what people say...and then find solid information somewhere else. All this stuff is used a ton, and as such, has had safety tests done on it.
