Without a recirculator, which I doubt you could get inconspicuously, I'd be really fucking careful doing that manually. People lose houses all the time. Do you know the flashpoint of butane? Is your fridge and anything that can kick a spark turned off? Are you wearing protective equipment in case that shit explodes in your face and scalds you. Not trying to patronize you, but I hope you are aware of the danger and take precautions.

The lel for butane is 1.8 the uel is 8.4
That means you need a concentration of 800 ppm butane in the air
For you to reach the lel with 1 can you need to be in a 1m square closed of space
But if you use more be sure there is a fan running and you are in a big space with ventilation

More concerned with a small explosion that might maim you. If you were to blow your house up, at least it'd be quick. I'm talking small ones that will pepper you in BHO like..

One question for all of you who is going on about how I will cause a explosion how often do you work with gasses or is your only experience with gasses these extractions

You don't need to be a biochemical engineer to know that butane is explosive, and many people have blown themselves up or at least caught flak from their product by doing exactly what you're doing now. If a few different people are warning you, there's probably a good reason for it. If you weren't so egotistical, you'd realize we're looking out for you.

You don't really need to know any other gas than what you're currently working with (butane) to be able to tell you it's a hazard.

If you can fill your car with gasoline safely or deal with a propane BBQ then you likely have enough working brain cells to deal with a little butane.

Those that don't hopefully remove themselves from the gene pool before they have a chance to reproduce thus increasing the average IQ for following generations. A trend that has been nose-diving since TV was invented and crashing since Al Gore invented the internet. ;)

I distill my butane as I use it to get a lot more pot processed from the same amount but I have had a lot of training so don't recommend your average stoner tries it.
