hey guys so just a couple quick questions before I try another bho run today....
1....can you over vacuum when trying to make shatter? should I pull it into a muffin and let it go down then full vac or slowly raise the vacuum as it purges slowly....I have seen the argument for both ways so kinda confuse.?
2. Should I freeze the bud I am doing a bud run already dried and ready to smoke....I have also read a lot on this and its a lil confusing if people mean yes they froze bud ready to smoke or a live plant...
3. is there something I am doing wrong cause everything I read says general rule is 1 can of butane per oz...last run I did was just a 1/2 oz (want to get this down on small runs before I go bigger)...but with that half oz I kept spraying checking to see if the coffee filter on the bottom is still sticky well last time for a 1/2 oz it took about 1 can and 1/4 of the next one.....why would it take that much more butane than suggested? can spraying a lot of butane evene make a difference? like shit really couldnt I run 100 cans cause you evaporate the butane off anyway????
4. this will be my 3rd run the first came out as dry crumble....the second I tried for shatter and about half of the patty stayed as shatter but some hardened up into a crumble (slightly moister than the first batch) however the first time I didn't freeze the second time I did and the second time I didn't get nearly as much as the first anyone have ANY sugestions on either getting a better yield OR really ANY advice would be appreciated I have been doing LOTS of reading and I know this info probilly is out there but I am just get ing confused cause there is SOOO much info out there and well lets put it this way I make custom knives when I stared years ago I learned a lot from the internet BUT the problem with internet any idiot can put what ever info they want...when I was learning about making knives I learned a lot of people think they know what they are doing but really have no clue I think the same thing happends here...
Oh 1 more thing your supposed to blast the butane as fast as it will come out of the can right? that's what I have been doing but.. I know you can also soak the weed in butane (like the thermos method) so I was thinking would it be better to spray slow so the butane stays in contct with the bud longer? but spraying slower you probilly wouldnt get the pressure you would full blasting any thoughts?
