Ive only been blasting BHO for about half a year now and its a very expensive habbit lol, so im trying to get the most THC outta my bud as possible.
I have heard if you shake your bud/trim in a bag with dry ice its kiefs up the bud and gets a better yield.
Does anyone else have any other methods for yielding more?

And ofcourse I know the better the product the better the yield.

only way to increase your yield is to use better starting material. thats it only solution. what do u mean expensive habit a can of tane costs like 3 dollars and one can usually makes me 2-3 gr sounds a lot cheaper than paying retail.

Yeah the expensive part is taking 250$ worth of trees and yielding 4 grams of oil which you and your boys dab up in a couple nights. Thats why id like to yield a little more even if it is less potent, (we all know its potent enough)

Yeah I have heard that the pvc is no good because it breaks down over time...I make a tube every harvest so I am not worried.

according to most charts PVC type 1 has and an A resistance rating meaning butane has no effects. although i read else the problem lies in the oderents used. but in our case using high quality butane less odorents or none at all are used therefor pose no risk.

so it is safe to say PVC type one can be used for a good long time. but hell the shits so cheap may as well make a new one every time on the other hand, but i wonder after using it repetitively does less BHO stick to the inner walls.

the fact that $250 yielded 4 gr of oil is the part that has me confused a pound of trim/shake doesnt even cost that much and should yield a hell of a lot more than that

He probably pays 250 for z of nugs and grinds it up, I'm pretty sure he isn't spraying a full P of trim to get 4 grams... To OP, how big is the tube you use? (diamter) aprox, what kind? home made or from a head shop? I personally found to get more i would spray smaller amounts at a time and still use a full can of butane. Obviously it is from increased butane/plant ratio you get more but i found that when i sprayed a 7-9 grams per run I was getting the best yields for amount of product.

Some people put their tube filled with material in the freezer for a few hours and use warm butane when they do their spraying. Running bubble or kief will produce a darker end product and wont have the same flavour as a batch made with bud but you do use a lot less butane.

I've heard that longer, thinner tubes help.
I think freezing would too.
There are things you can buy that re-use the butane. Expensive though.
I run about an oz of trim to get a gram but it's stuff that would otherwise go in the bin.

trying to find a local grower or someone out in a medical state to buy trim from, lol. I'd much rather run that that nug.
