Glass and Steel tubes are the two most often chosen choices......... Glass links a few posts back for mine, for steel tubes there's a WIDE variety of choices all over ebay/the-internet......... You can make your own steel one, or even go really ghetto and make it from pvc tube and caps with the holes drilled. Each system has its own pros and cons, teh pvc ones are mini pipe bombs if you stuff em too much and "rumors" say that pvc can get in your oil (not for what you buy at home depot). Steel tubes I have no experience with, but I really like how they have legs and can stand in your pyrex pan while working the material, although you *should* be shaking and spinning the tube while your dumping butane down it for the best results.

--> Glass Tubes
--> Steel Tubes
--> Turkey Baster (LOL, dont do this)
--> PVC tubes with drilled plastic caps (Works)

That's about it with respect to butane honey oil for the extraction device

Not sure why you say LOL dont do this to using a turkey baster. The steel turkey basters from bed bath and beyond work perfectly and the hole fits the large fitting on a vector can perfectly. The only downfall is it does not hold a lot of material. But if you only want to be doing small processes, this could work well for you. It worked well for me until I quickly wanted to be able to run bigger batches.

Nasty question for you all.

i know that running low-quality bud will yield low quality concentrates. What about *contaminated* bud, i.e. bud that has had worms on it. i have a shit-ton of bud and trim from 5 outdoor plants that got riddled with worms. While trimming, i have cut out as much nastiness as i could but i guarantee you there are worm turds in there on some of it.

Any suggestions on how to process it in order to get the cleanest concentrate possible? Is it trash? Hash? Oil?

Just hate to waste that much bud when there are SOOoo many pretty trichs that are still very viable.

I don't got money for it now.
Right now I'm just kinda rockin everything like in the boons, #FromTheSticksToTheBricks. Maybe later I'll need gear. But I'm going to be spending a lot of time in Mexico in a few months, and can probably just pick up stuff there for a couple pesos, or traded for some hash.

I say blast it and smoke worm extract.
The butane should work as a cleaning agent of some sort since it's woking as a solvent.


And maybe 3 coffee filters?

I'd feel better after using some kind of high proof ISO if it has worm turds and god knows what else in it...

Kinda frettin' it. i know that i won't be able to consume it all myself but don't want to do any damage to anyone else. i guess full-disclosure is in order and let them decide?

Agreed. Alcohol should murder anything, and kill any germs, then once it's evaporated you'll still have work gunk.

But it'll be clean...

If you use the same ISO and shake it up in different jars while straining the ISO into another jar of shake would that be a good way of using less ISO and getting a higher potency product?

So, say for example, 1 gallon of iso over trim/bud, filter, use the same iso to process the next batch of trim/bud and so on? Should be potent as hell i would think but would it not also concentrate any impurities left?

If you filter it through a coffee filter at the end I don't think so? This might be a great way to use less ISO and have a higher potency goo.

i just made my first iso using fdd's method of plenty of time. Ran the iso through two batches of trim (about 1 1/2 oz total, half each run) and it is wicked strong. Dark, but strong. Washed for about 1 minute per 3/4 oz.
