First BHO Run With VAC ~ I can't seem to get this butane out! *Ton's of HD Pic's!*

Here is some of my great material below!


Here is the product after the material has been chopped up to fine, dry out, then frozen, and stuff into a glass tube blown into a Pyrex dish. (Using 5x Power)
Then I scraped onto the oil slick pad after all the butane appeared to be evaporated.


This is the product at 110F 29HG (The stuff in the corner is just some smashed together)(4hours)


115F Still purging at 29


After it stopped bubbles at 115F This is the end result after i took it out of the chamber (Still alot of butane)


Another picture out of the first vac.


After the first vac i combined the product and it turned out dark like this.


Back in the chamber 2nd vac @ 110F (2hours)


This is the product after it stop bubbles on the 2nd vac. (Still tons of butane)


This is it going again onto the 3rd vac. Combined it together again and let it purge again 115F 29HG


Took the product out still tons of butane after many hours at full vac so
i took it out and spread it all out on the new paper and put it back in the vac like
the picture below.


Then combined it and it came out like this (this is only a piece of it) it's still really dark with tons of butane and cracks and bubbles when you light it.


Looking for any help or tips to get this going in the right direction thanks!

Temps verified via IR thermometer?

Looks a bit over-purged..

Running oil takes practice, practice, practice.
Don't get down on yourself.

Start with smaller batches, work your way up.

Yes verified via IR thermometer. How would i achieve "over-purged" thanks!

Too much heat + too much vac.

115° at full vac in thin film only takes an hour or so to purge.
Color is indicative of ” over purge”

I'm not sure if it's the color on my computer or what but those buds to me, look very brown/, yellow, and old looking. If this is the case it will not make good oil because of a few reasons.

1. Old material is no good
2. Brown material is no good
3. Non resinous material is no good
4. Over fertilized, non flushed material is no good
5. Material with pesticides, neem oil, etc. sprayed on them are no good.

I'm not trying to be critical on you I'm just trying to keep it real.

lmao, actually in all seriousness those are accurate...

I was also gonna be a little critical of the starting material. In my opinion it does not look that good. How many hours have you actually been vaccing for? IR thermometer will not give accurate reading of oil through polycarbonate lid.

You look close. Just repeat your folds, and 115-120 should remove any sizzle.. After enough folds,flips, etc..

garbage in garbage out those nugs look like shit

mos def lower the temp yo if that is the temp of the inside of your chamber. 96degrees is good you would wanna damage the turps. if you dont mind me asking what did you blast and what was the return?

Start flipping Here is a example of the first run.(I spread it out a lot as well) Temps around 105-110 keeping it low.

The picture has to justification here is a close up of the nugs (around 2 months old)

**2ND RUN** (Temp's around 105-110)

Under pressure in action


It's it there atm so we will see the end result. Any advice would be great thanks for all the tips and suggestions so far!

Here's what i'm smoking on and saving up for the next nug run lol.

In one pic you say "still tonnes of butane" - what led you to that conclusion? Was it a burn test?

I have found out from the folks here that sizzle doesn't necessarily mean butane, and may mean moisture. Perhaps it is moisture trapped like i believe my bho has which keeps it kind of taffyish and prevents it from getting too hard i think. That being said its also possible that even tho your heat was 115 that the actual oil got hotter. I did two runs recently and one was kept lower temps and its a lot lighter in color

Nice, ya i did some reading tonight. I think i might have to blow inside a small closed in area with a open window. Moisture may be my issue.

First the parent to child part of this transaction.

You didn't read far enough. Please do not blast indoors under any circumstances!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That doesn't mean unless it solves some other problem to do so, it means not under any circumstances. Period!!

Speaking adult to adult, unless it is actually raining in it, moisture enters the pool from atmospheric humidity, which won't be improved by moving indoors, unless you have humidity control.

When the butane evaporates, it creates enough refrigerative effect, that the temperature drops below 32F, which causes ice to form around the edge of the pool. When the evaporation rate and level of the butane pool drop, the ice melts and runs into the extraction.

A warmer dish will prevent that, but affects product, so we use a deep skinny dish, so that the escaping butane vapor floats away the moisture laden atmosphere, so it is no where near the frost line.
