(most recent batch kind of dark in color and not sure how to get it lighter other than stir it a bunch?)
So I have a few questions regarding two different methods, or more like two different steps, for purging and could REALLY use some advice/tips/
First method-double boil;
So I’ve been blowing my BHO into a Pyrex dish and then double boiling it by having the Pyrex float a few centimeters in water in a pot that’s around 110-130 degrees F(aiming for 110 but sometimes it rises a bit) all the while keeping it completely dry with no water getting into the Pyrex dish. The end result is I guess shatter, very sticky and hard to handle without getting it all over your fingers.
Second method-straight into heated water;
This is a method that was recently brought to my attention and I guess this specific recipe has even been sold for a good chunk of change before. Basically it’s the same as the method I’ve been doing but without the Pyrex dish, so blow the BHO straight into the heated water at 110 degrees F. The end result is more like crumble, easily handleable.
My questions are
-Has anyone even tried the second method?
-what would be the best tempurature for both methods, 110 is what I’ve been told before but I’ve read a lot that say 135 is best.
-How long should I purge it for? How long should I have it in the heated water for?
-Should I purge it right after I blow it? I’ve waited a day sometimes before putting it in the heated water and last night when I did it a few hours after blowing it I saw the bubbles pop like I’ve never seen before, making me believe I should be doing it right away.
-is putting it in the fridge a method to purge it? Or would that do the opposite?
