You can buy n-Hexane by the gallon on eBay although it's a little expensive... If you buy a distillation setup you won't have to worry about running out of hexane and you can ensure that your solvent is absolutely free of non volatiles. If your not sure if the solvent your buying contains...

Most would recommend you stay away from naphtha because it's a broad mixture of low boiling hydrocarbons, so it could contain benzene in relatively high quantities, not that it's much of a problem because benzene will still evaporate it's just that people tend to stay far away from toxic...

Get some hexane, what you have right there doesn't look good. A hexane/alcohol separation could be used to remove the chlorophyll from the solution. You could separate the alcohol and then perform a hexane/saline separation to clean it even further. But yes, you should freeze your solution for...

If there is any waxes inside your qwet they can be dropped out by chilling a solution containing your dissolved extract and a more polar solvent such as methanol or acetone, although it's doubtful your extract even contains any waxes.

I imagine it would work but you would be better served talking to SaybianTv because that's how he performs distillation. If I remember correctly he stated that steam distilling could be accomplished because the water reduces the boiling point of the compounds being distilled but I could be wrong...

It's dead for now, I decided I would rather put my glassware away until harvest comes around so I don't get charged with drug manufacture. I didn't do a bunch of research to just abandon the idea, it's just been postponed for now, I'll eventually get it going again and I hope ideletemyself will...

I used to get the same brand of butane from a tobacco wholesale supplier in Oakland for $17 a case. A tank is cleaner and cheaper than the cases and the majority of people making bho already know this, so this thread was kind of pointless.

If the solvent is clean, and otherwise has no heavy metals or lubricants added to it I see no reason why you can't use it Any heat applied directly to the solvent while it's in your Pyrex dish can cause the rate of decomposition to increase dramatically, which could lead to a violent explosion...

I've always wondered if there is any cannabinoids/terpenes/alkaloids present in the roots of the plant I could extract and add to my RSO.

It's up to you if you want to extract the chlorophyll along with the cannabinoids, chlorophyll has medicinal properties in itself but has a taste that most people find undesirable when it's concentrated like it is in an ethanolic tincture. I've also read something saying if your taking RSO in...

Here's the website I was citing the info from. http://www.cannabis-med.org/index/index.php?tpl=faq&red=faqlist&id=275&lng=en This website states that when making medicinal oil it would be optimal to use olive oil because it has similar extraction efficiency for cannabinoids and terpenes as...

Your not wrong, ISO oil could be used because it extracts everything you want and more. RSO is about as simple as it gets... You can soak your material in whatever solvent you choose, but the idea of using olive oil is obviously more attractive than isopropyl alcohol. Olive oil wouldn't have...

That works too :)

RSO can be made by simply soaking your plant material in warmed olive oil to extract all the cannabinoids. Essential oils with natural healing properties can also be added to assist in various applications, sacred frankincense is a good additive for it's cancer fighting properties and can work...

An effective way to fix that would be to build an air filter around the back of your fan and fill it with granules of dessicant/molecular sieve to capture the humidity as it enters the box.

Could u describe what your experiencing a little more descriptively? The only time I have trouble with water getting in my dish is when I blow on the liquid butane in an effort to make it evaporate quicker.

Perhaps you would be able to make a small box for evaporating the solvent where humidity could be easily be controlled to avoid the condensation problems your having. Although the problem with that would be that it could present an explosion hazard so I imagine a spark free fan would need to be...

You could dissolve your extract in an alcohol and use a drying agent like MgSO4 or 4Å molecular seive to remove water from the solution.

He never said hashy was bad, he probably just prefers his extract with all the aromatics. It makes me wonder if you've ever tasted good bho in your life :)

Looks a little green my friend, were you running buds or shake?
