I'd like to start this with giving credit where credit is due 
Chiefsmokingbud - BHO for dummies gave me the knowledge and inspiration
Phife - origionally thought of the SS turkey baster
icmag - gave me the help and knowledge to grow and consume
I was afraid of making BHO for years, but after my first go round I realized how easy it is and what great results could be achieved. By no means am I a master, or even good at making BHO. My hope with this thread is that someone who was like me will be persuaded to give it a try... if you do, feel free to post your results!
Now this wont be the all informative thread (Chief's already done a great job with that). This is going to be a quick and dirty how-to, in addition to some of the tips I've picked up along the way.
On to the fun part
Baster Setup
The baster (thanks Martha!)
Remove the black rubber. Here's what you want:
Insert the needle as far as can go. You can use a wrench or pliers to really get it in there.
Edit: You can screw in the syringe as designed and simply break off the tip. The butane tip will fit perfectly. Thanks to Sleesak for the info!
Evaporation Plate Setup
I use the water bath method, but a cheap effective way to keep it warm is using a reptile heating mat. $7 at any pet store.
Trim Preparation
Edit: It is best to wait for the trim to naturally dry as baking it will destroy terpentines! (thanks fallhoga)
If you're trim isn't 100% completely dry, just throw it in the oven for 30 mins on 200F. I use parchment paper to keep it from sticking to the pan. Make sure to turn the trim every 10 minutes or so.
EDIT: For higher quality runs, do NOT grind the material. Just tamp down full nugs or trim. (thanks JimBob420)
Once it's as dry as you can get it, pulverise it. Make sure to remove the stems!
Injection Preparation
Start packing the trim into the baster. I add a few teaspoonfulls, then slightly tamp it down with a wooden spoon.
After the baster is full, cover with a coffee filter then a metal (or silk) screen. Finally, strap it down with a hose clamp.
I did one run without a screen, and experienced my first blow out. Not fun. Imagine having frozen trim shotgunned over your face and clothing
blowout
The fix (I found silk screen works very well)
Injecting
Just push down the butane nozzle on the baster. I find using a glove to wrap around the nozzle helps keep things pressurized.
Once you've emptied all your butane, just finish using Chief's instructions.
Here's some results. I can't get vials where I live, but I find shot glasses work well. (Hint: you can heat up the shot glass, to make the oil liquify... easier to use for me)
My preferred method of use:
That's it! Pretty easy eh? Give it a try, I am sure you will enjoy!
