See?!? I freakin knew it....it was the best that I could cook up
on my first attempt. Please do post your alternative. If I am going
to do this, then I would prefer to buy larger lots anyway.
Great stuff.

Amazing post FM. We really appreciate the effort!
I totally agree on the unworkability of shatter. I want to try your tek.

There is a smoke shop in Chino Hills, Ca selling 96 cans of Power 5x for $155, they also have the Power 7x for $200. I think NButane would of been a better way to go, here is a link: http://www.mathesongas.com/pdfs/products/n-Butane-Pure-Gas.pdf !

Great posts and pics on the process FM, I'd rep you if I could 
I freeze the thermos can I use including its contents a night before filling it with butane and the stuff I filter from it doesn't look that butter-ish. Anyway, here's some pics from my second attempt, obviously much better results than first run mainly because I used a large dish to evap the alcohol.

Looks good, how does it taste? Do you like how it taste? Did you lose the taste? Are you using 190 proof Everclear or the 151 proof Everclear?
Using larger dishes are better cause you can spread it out very thin and faster evap times. I was thinking about using dry ice in my freezer to speed up the winterize process, plus it gets it even colder in temps. I was thinking about using Acetone instead of Everclear. I still have a lot of testing to do with this method still but for right now I am sticking to making crumble. I made a batch another batch today!
Have you tried to make crumble before? Thats my specialty! Also how did you end up liking the DNA strains?
Peace

The Chocolate Fondue is turning out to be one of my favorite ever. My fingers smell like chocolate after crumbling but it's the sweet-skunky-haze taste that makes it a real winner. I've barely smoked the Skywalker Kush and the Kolossus I had in last grow too. I got the Cannalope Haze, basically the grandpa of the Chocolate Fondue, for next round.
It did lose taste but not all of it. The SK had a dark earthy-or-sumthin' somewhat unpleasant taste. Might just be me having smoked mostly haze hybrids for years... However, it's strong, and I figured let's get the good stuff from the SK and drop that in my CF joints
As I mentioned in a previous post here it tastes more like hash than bud. Makes me really curious to compare with bho from the chocolate fondue or the Kolossus which has a very distinctive floral taste. I'll do a few more runs once I got my new grow closet up and running. I used 96.6% alcohol, best option I found locally so far.
Frankly not sure what crumble in particular is in this context, but I only did two runs to create shatter, nothing else so far. I scraped this off the first disc after 2 days in the freezer:

me thinks the X (times refinment) can be some stank
cause if yo place and equipment is not 100% correct can refine 10 times and still = ish
and be no better then a triple refine in a lab set up true to standards operation

I wont be able to get a winter grow up until probably Thanksgiving. We are supposed to be having a city inspection (wtf?) with the landlord. It was supposed to be tomorrow, but as I have weed everywhere, had to tell him to reschedule. Tearing the tent down tonight or tomorrow. Hopefully the outside will be done by then.
