Erl looks great JD......

Did you make it molten consistency before attempting to vac ? It needs to be to work properly....

You are now officially an oil head !

welcome to the errl club JD, looks pretty good for your first run, champagne is on the left and paid escorts on the right ;)

i am currently purging a micro run of some grape god (grapefruit x god bud), only ran a gram and heif so probably won't yield much, but boy is the smell tantalizing

No it was more on the hard side. I have it in the freezer now. Can I take the parchment paper and just stick that on a tray in the oven til it gets molten again then vac it?

And I'm super happy to be in the club!!!

hmm, ideally you would want to be able to apply heat while the vacuum is pulled, i guess you could try a quick switcheroo from the oven, i would apply the lowest heat possible though, under 150 if your oven goes that low, my POS only goes down to 170 so i never use it

Thx I might give it a try. I really don't think it needs it tho.

For the record I used 8g and ended up getting just about a g so 12.5% return. Not bad for a first run if I must say. I plan on crushing and running the leftovers tomorrow when the rest of my butane shows up.

I use a small erl dish and just let it sit on a coffee mug warmer plate (cld always just put it on a coffee maker heater base and keep an eye on it), then when it starts to liquify.... pop it in your vac vessel and pump to -28 and let her do her thang.

No need to overheat more than necessary in an oven, unless you plan on making an edible with it.

beauty oil jd :) looks good!

and yep good oil is like the "crack" version of weed :D haha sorry to cast it in a negative light. but it's fitting. my one buddy has very little interest in buds anymore since i showed him bho and the omicron. (he now owns an extractor and an omi! :D)

for your 2nd run i tend to completely bust up my nuggs. people warned me that my oil would go green, but i have never had this happen yet. 2nd was is not as good as 1st of course, but it's still definitely worth the butane imo. 2nd was for me looks more like peanut butter or hard corn syrup.


@ stroh 20%? wow man nice one :) on the first wash alone? how big is your tube you do runs though? is it almost all cotton in there?

12.5% is good for not ground up nugs on 1 wash right? I figure to get .3-.4 more on the second wash

8g's almost filled up the Honey Bee. I figure around 10-12g's will fit in there total. Next run will be a full tube!

yeah man anything over 10% and you should be happy :) they generally say 10-20% return should be expected.

most of the time i get in the 10-15% range on first wash. i wonder if i pack my buds in too tightly though. i dunno... will try looser next time.

The way the Honey Bee is set up you fill it from the end that drains. If I packed it it would have to be packed up against the top where I shoot the tane through. I just put my herb in, capped it, and tapped the side so it all settled in. I did not "push" pack it in. Next time I'll do 10g's and pack it with my finger a bit.

Im def happy with getting 12+% for my first time

My new scale weighs to .01 .....what is the appropriate weight for a normal dab?

that i don't really know. my scale is only good to .1g and that's too much! :p start really small i'd say. i prefer not to cough and die while getting ripped.

go by feel and see what you can handle and take it from there :) since you are obviously enjoying bho, prepare for your tolerance to go way up my friend! :p

I plan on only doing dabs on special occasions and Sundays (football day :p ) This g will prob last me into December. Tolerance will be in check :lol:

I pay to much in this fucking non-mmj state to be dabbing all day. I def want to keep it a "special occasion" type thang

I'm planning on taking 5g's out of each zip I buy (about once a month or so) and doing a 10g run every 2 months :D

my extraction tube is pretty small, fits maybe 14 gs total, though i usually do smaller runs. i haven't used cotton balls since my second run, i realized that they were bleached. dont pack looser, pack as tight as possible!

for my returns, i only calculate first wash, second wash yield is negligible IMO

ok so about the same as mine then. what do you pack in as filler to fill the void then? like when you do a 1.5-3 gram run?

about the Ti curve, you will like it i am sure!

i love doing dabs with my curve over my eclipse. (I have the pipe version, cleaning vials is a pain in the ass though.)

Yea I've found the vials are kind of annoying to clean but an overnight iso soak and a q-tip scraped off most of the residue off. I actually just recently got 50 vials off ebay for 20.00 with free first class shipping. Split them with my friend who has an eclipse, we both got 25 vials for 10 dollars. Pretty nice deal!

that is a good deal :) at the place i bought my bong they sold me 2 "bakers dozen" for 10 bucks. 13 tall 13 small. i also bought a bong though so they hooked me up too. :)



im going to be doing a run on a batch of mighty mite i just picked up! 1 oz for 100 bucks! outdoor shipped in from BC! it's not the the "a" grade looking stuff that i pay 2x more for... but for oil purposes? yes please! :D i have been vaping it too and it tastes fresh and pine like. some of the hairs on the buds are purple/pink!

pics to follow when i get time :)

when i do small runs the rest of my tube is unpacked, which is why i expect smaller yields. i use a bamboo skewer to pack down the buds through the 'tane entry hole to get them as tight as possible before blasting. also i actually think i might be getting a toro macro and a cool dome instead of that piece, the only thing that bugs me is i think i might need to get a custom curve made if i were to go that route since the macro is a direct inject male 14mm

I was just in my LHS and saw a glass nail pretty cheap. So I bought it but I forgot to get a dabber. :mad:

Can I safely use something like an actual nail to use for dabbing? Or do I really need to get a glass dabber?

When I first started I just used a clean metal paperclip. Make sure its the kind that doesnt have plastic. Then I got a metal tool from ace hardware to dab with and now use the glass dripsticks from ALT.

Papaerclip! Genius. So simple and sitting right in front of my face! Thanks Skoll! I'm gonna give this a try now.
