160 micron bubble to oil?

[Papulz]

hey people.. thinkin about trying to further refine some lower end bubble i have a pile of.

is BHO basically my best option? i dont want to play with butane but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.

if bho is my best option then is the order of operations the same as for herb?

im indebted to everyone here for their wealth of knowledge never ceases to astound me.

if my bubble is around 30ish% thc i'd expect a yield of ? is there a conversion?

You'll have to grind it up pretty good as butane won't disolve 'clumps" very well. Hard to say what yield as 160 will have some contaminants already. How many G's do you have?

i did that once last year . had a shitload of green outdoor ice hash that was pretty well unsmokable , did a bho extraction got very small return but the end product was actually quite nice and tasty but very black. just b very carefull with butane , outdoors only ...

I'm taking a pile (7g) of 4th pass dry sieve and sticking it in a bottle of bacardi 151 rum. Then after 24 hours, I'm going to boil it in a double boiler over a flameless electric hot plate for about 15 minutes. Too much contaminates to smoke, but after filtering, it should make a smooth elixer.

i have as many g's as i would like to work with.. many zips to use if i find the end product to be desirable

the bubble i have isnt unsmokable at all, but its simply not potent enough for me. i want to smoke less material as im almost a chain smoker at times.

theres not really a conversion % but BHO is you best option, alcohol extraction if for the birds, far below the quality of BHO and you always get some nasty alcohol taste left in it and bho take a few minutes to where alcohol will take a few hours to days depending on how you purge it.

You really don't have to break it up into powder just break it up a little, and if you didn't compress it, it should be good to go. Even if it is a little clumpy if you use my technique all will be extracted, I just run two to three cans of tane through it in the same catch trey back to back, you'll get one consistancy of oil and all will be extacted, I woudn't think the quality would vary in BHO made from hash but its just easier to do two-three cans at once and do one scrape.

Alcohol extraction does not leave any "alcohol" or "alcohol taste" in the buds, if you had common sense you would be able to figure that out. Alcohol evaporates very quickly compared to most liquids, the alcohol is fully evaporated before you smoke it. Unless you smoke the hash before it's dryed out when using the alchol extraction method, then you shouldn't get any alcohol taste.

Obviously BHO is better quality, but don't spread around info that isn't true. Alcohol extraction is actually very quick too, i don't know where you got the few hours to days from. The actual extraction process when using ISO only takes a few minutes, infact it's bad to leave it in the alcohol for longer than a few minutes.

thx for all the responses thus far.. alcohol and its uses arent of concern to me just to note that, im lookin at BHO..

hey chief earlier i completed reading the 27 pages of the BHO for dummies, im plannin on grabbin an okief tube for my project here.. so ill grate it up since it is compressed hash and then pack it say like you would a cup of flour??
how hard should it be pressed into the tube.

any other info and tips would be appreciated and yield expectations? testimonials from anyone elses experiences turning hash into bho?

 

[R00KIE]

Using hash you don't want to pack it very hard at all, otherwise it will compress and then you have blockages, and chunks that won't be bho'd.
Personally i'd grind the hell out of it and just fill the tube up by pouring it through a funnel... When it's full bho away..
Should produce pretty well I would think.
You get great results with a tube full of buds and plant matter, so you should get a decent end product from bubble.

Yes.
If your using powerized bubble or dry sieve, mix in with some trim so it doesnt compact.

 

[Guest]

trim? that will turn the oil black, he's going for strength that would weaken it. Also trim will make it taste nasty.

 

[R00KIE]

I've made oil from trim and it didn't turn out black...
If it's good trim it would be fine....
Fans would create a black product though.

Ya i was talking about sugar trim, but you could always use a bit of bud if u want.

 

[Papulz]

interesting advice guys, ill definitely try mixin in some buds.. from what i understand in the BHO for dummies thread shall i put a "cap" of buds on each end of the tube and perhaps mix in 10-15% bud? i have no access to trim currently but the budpile ive got would be sufficient.

how many cans (what size?) of tane should i run if using a single okief tube?
note i plan on using solely colibri brand.

Well, I have my personal experience to offer. Today I ran 10g's of low-mid grade Afghani hash found here in Israel, very dark but most free of adulterants. 15 dollars gets you that, just about...made some qwiso and got a really nice oil after a slow filter and making sure to drain what was left of the pulverized hash material through a metal screen before the coffee filters, that was golden yellow in color on the dish, and plentiful after a 30 minute purge double boiler style. Haven't weighed out what I got as a yield just yet but I'm fairly satisfied with the result of my first iso extraction. It vaporizes quite well on the Kutpipe I must say...now I can work on getting my technique down haha
I've also made bho, but never with hash. Gotta say I'm ripped off this oil.
be easy

I would say atleast 2 6oz cans but it just depends how fast the bubble disolves.

 

[Guest]

run any brand of tane except King, some people swear by it but everytime I used it, it had water mixed in.

Chief are you into e man? I see you changed your avatar, I was into that stuff but it just costs too much here in the US, and after you do it so many times it just looses its pazaaz, or at least im my case, good times though.

 

[Papulz]

His avatar is a lump of delicious kief from the okief website unless im mistaken

ps, i thought it was x at first too

 

[Guest]

Ahh, cant really tell because theres no size comparison, I've never been to the Okief website so thanks for clarifying that, looks like I outed my e poppin ass
