While it is hard to tell from pictures alone, it looks like a poorly purged hexane oil. hexane is a typical ingredient of ether so that would explain why the guy says it was an ether extraction. Hexane oil should end up like a dark honey in color, clarity and texture. It could have been made with contact cleaner which is mostly hexane with a little ethanol which would explain the waxy appearance because the ethanol will pick up some wax and chlorophyll.
@DabComa while I agree with you that vac purging isn't the end all, be all it is important to note that some sort of purge is absolutely necessary. Butane molecules are extremely small and can easily get trapped in oils as they harden and may not be visible to the naked eye. Even the clearest shatters could potentially contain trace amounts of butane. Thin film heat purges or even whipping it into ear wax is not enough to fully purge butane. If you can't/don't want to vac purge I suggest a dual solvent method, you can blast straight into ethanol or redissolve your finished bho into ethanol (and winterize if you want) then evaporate the ethanol. Butane boils at 30.9°f while ethanol boils at 172.4°f. You don't need to actually boil the ethanol off, low heat will work fine and once the ethanol is evaporated you can be sure the butane is gone. This method may leave you with trace amounts of ethanol but as
@2clicker pointed out, who cares, ethanol is relatively safe and most people consume far more than trace amounts everyday.
Edit: I just wanted to point out that at first I said ethanol will pick up wax and chlorophyll then suggested using it to purge butane. I just wanted to point out that it only picks those contaminants up when in contact with the plant matter itself so using it to purge won't have the sane effect, also the colder it is the less wax and chlorophyll it will pick up so if making QWET just make sure everything is frozen to prevent most unwanted contaminants
To the OP, if you ever doubt the quality of the purge for your concentrates, just redissolve them in EC (or any other "grain neutral spirit" which is any 190 - 192.4 proof alcohol) and evaporate. You can also winterize if you want. Last time I winterized some very waxy stuff, I've seen stuff like this called cookies before because it almost looks like a chocolate chip cookie, I ended up with a 14% loss in overall weight out of 2 grams. I contribute some of that to using coffee filters instead of a syringe filter so it obviously absorbed some. I think with a larger batch or proper filter I could keep my loss below 10% for even the waxiest concentrates. Btw my absolute came out crystal clear but it stretches instead of shatters because I rushed the evap (my buddies wife was bugging him to leave but half was his).
sorry for coming of bit like uhu in my first reply, was not meant that way...
