lol, no disrespect cannabineer, but anything you know nothing about or has been made to confuse you can create such wives tales as this subject has. no lab equipment needed, as I proved that w my ghettoblaster. until someone can simplify the big picture, I am amongst the few who can actually help make things easier to understand. But I didn't wish someone gave me the magic answer in a forum, I seek the knowledge and go where schools not readily teach this 4th phase of matter. That is efin ballsy. The next person who taught them self can blab all this to you guys. The needed lab equipment. The tiny lab sized yields unless industrial equipment is obtained. That's Eden $67,000 entry system. Cuts through 2.5lbs plant matter. Any idea how much to run a batch in co2 alone? So its really wide open for me, like a chick who has just seen the process wanting to thank me in her own special way.

Thanks man! Yeah it sucks when people don't like to share little tips or tricks as they think it's "their secret". Although I personally hate when people ask me to "show them how to make oil". I actually don't mind answering specific questions pertaining to the process. I just dislike the impatient "hey dude I don't know anything but teach me everything, now!" type questions - they can be annoying ! :).
practically every question would have to be answered, we arent using methods that are the same. If you guys were to start going supercritical w your butane, then theres a common ground. Until then, the methods you now know you would have to adopt a complete different way to use gas under significant pressure, to get her juices flowing. Many dont have equipment and cringe when finding out what these things cost. It isnt no $500 cheap thrill. A pro unit could expect 10k for a stainless steel package. So serious people will pay for the secrets, if they plan to stay extracting for a business. So thanks to bho we have high oil prices! Thanks guys.

Wow, i just found a brand new 2 stage vaccum pump and a crockpot size vac chamber inside an abondoned plastic injection molding factory. Wtf. Its been sitting here for 3 years. I just hit the jackpot! Mighty vac is going bak in the garage for brakes.
thank you michigan economy.
 
I think I should have posted this here: I'm a new grower, about 2 yrs experience & I just made my 1st batch of bubble a couple months ago. Since I've been smoking it, two different friends have told me I need to "fluff" my bubble before I smoke it. They took a lighter and just kind of tapped the hash with it, "fluffing" it. When I asked why though, they both gave me different reasons & neither made me feel that it was necessary or made it smoke any better. Personally, I like the very 1st hit & don't want to just piss it away. I was just wondering what the reason for "fluffing" hash is. Tnx.
 
Yeah, I compare it to playdoh as far as consistency. I just thought I'd ask since I had more than 1 person mention it. I told 'em I've been gettin' ripped & I didn't notice any difference when it was "fluffed." I want to upload a pic but don't see a way, I'm posting from my iPhone.

The fourth phase of matter is plasma.

Oilmkr, if you're referring to supercritical fluid as the 4th phase, that's a bit of "marketese" imo. And iirc your CO2 extractions are subcritical. In that regard, they do compare to the other liquid solvent extraction techniques. cn

They kind of know what they are talking about. When I lived and traveled in the middle east, we would get large blocks of Lebanese or Moroccan hash which is very similar to a good bubble. They compress it into very tight bricks so when you go to smoke it you must warm the corner with a lighter and then the hash gets kind of broken down or I guess more fluffy. But basically you are increasing the surface area so it smokes more evenly and quickly. But if they are gonna talk shit to you while smoking the hash you made from the plants you grew then fuck em. Don't share ur shit with shitheads like that.

LoL, i dont think they meant it in a bad way, more like trying to share knowledge. 1 friend said he heard fluffing it made it smoke better, the other said to get out impurities. Well, i didnt think it smoked any different really & i know exactly what went into making my bubble so no worries there. Neither are newbies to pot & one of the guys is a pretty respectable friend of mine. Actually, it seems like everytime I smoke some with someone, they all the sudden become an expert on hash, LoL. I take most of it with a grain of salt, but I know a few heads that know their shit.

I can accept plasma being a fourth state of matter, I dont know it all, but just so you know, that was a scfe using co2. That wasnt cosub2. 6,000 psi @ 140F is in no way below the critical point. a sub extract is not really anything like a liquid solvent extract, and if so, explain to me the similarities beyond the desired compounds of interest.

Airport security said I couldnt bring my Xicar lighter on the plane. Luckily they had a box you can put it in and ship it back to you for a few dollars. Now that I'm on thanksgiving week visiting family, had oil shipped in just for it. :) But, no lighter. Boooo!

Went to the store, and came home with a Bernzomatic lighter that looks like a cordless drill, takes these 5 inch tall yellow max propolyne (Not MAPP gas, despite the yellow can). WOW! Its very nice. :) Heats up the glass one hitters in about 5 seconds. I bet it hits titanium real nice. For $50 and $7 a refill its a hell of a deal. Anyone else have a oiler torch like it?
Same exact one, it was one sale at my local home depot for 20! Love it.IMG_20120818_145558.jpg

At those temps and pressures ... conceded. Supercrit. cn

i KNOW it's been asked before but this is a long thread.

How many grams do you that use the stainless steel turkey baster from walmart (what i use) use per run for max yield?
