Hey cowboy how's it going.I have been blown up as well, by LP which is very similar in properties to butane. I was at work, not making oil. It's not fun!
My cousin blasts BHO and I think for what it's worth, if done right the end result is right there with perfectly done water extraction (higher yield though). The whole decarboxylation process is critically important and a pain in the ass, but you can't skimp it is the difference maker.
QWISO or similar erl is on par with the BHO in terms of yield, and the flavor is there too but this is the difference IMHO. The flavor seems to degrade faster in this method. I would argue that you wont have it around long enough to experience this effect.
My $.02 is that the safest & easiest way is QWISO or alcohol extraction, will get you the yield you miss with the water extract but save you the expense and danger that you face with the BHO.
Thanks for the input, I appreciate it. Your right about the decarboxylation being very important from what I understand. This is going to be like "making hash oil 101" for me lol. Pretty clueless about the whole process, need to pick pops brain too.
Like your last sentence cowboy, think that's what I'll do. Of course now I don't have any trim laying around. That doesn't happen very often haha, or much for buds either. A little trim from a bunch of lowers that I trimmed off of the cindy the other day, not sure if it would be enough to even warrant an earl run with
