^ I need to look into long-soak extractions, has been an interest of mine for awhile

the only experience I have is doing one McGuyver style in a las vegas hotel :dance013: punched a hole in my mason jar of nugs with a dental pick and stuck that into the ice bucket, casually walked down the hallway and shot tane into the jar, covered the hole with my finger and let it spray onto a glass plate back in the room :moon:



this one was extracted with an o'kief single tube

not sure what the strain is, some old crop that didn't go too well for a buddy of mine.



delicious oil however!

Sorry for your suffering, get well soon! earl medicine topping asap imo.
although, I confess, I did not understand how an injury has occurred in this bloody erl fail,
the tube has a sharp edge?

JUMP! the erl toob was farr too sharp:covereyes:thats what happens when u make ur toob from shit at home depot. I couldnt stand the sight of my thumb after.


Of course not, these ICMag photos were taken a few days later with another sample
obtained by exactly the same as previous chip technology from dried buds of tan color not green.
Above chip sample (~1g) was melted from two ingots of two runs,
15min and 20min soak in butane in thermos, evap, ethanol, freeze, filter, evap.

Reason why I asked jump is because I was at a buddies we were all erling while he was lurking the TC BHO porn thread and I swear on my good thumb I saw those pics there I could be crazy, I wasin another werld. Maybe he switched to this forum and thread, I doubt that tho, and SWEAR I saw the pics.

Thats Absolute amber youre making right? Could you or dope elaborate a little more the processes or whatnot? you guys blow my mind bachelors in science of BHO. Peace and Respect thanks everyone and shred for rips. I raise my dabber to you all.:tiphat: and hat.

I'm sorry, but I do not accept bets in body parts. :)
You've mistaken, you may click my nick and open my only one album "Absolute Amber" on TokeCity in order to verify this.
Of course, the chips are very similar like twins, they were manufactured by the same AA method from the same grade buds.

I'm not sure of the correct application of the term "absolute" to this chips as derived from the dried flowers instead of fresh,
and ethanol was evaporated on a steam bath, and not under vacuum.

I wish I had easy access to 100% ethyl, suppose I could drive down to Mexico and get some everclear

I do have relatively easy access to 99% isopropyl but I'm not sure how effective it is as a washing solution

jump...any ideas on efficacy of isopropyl vs. ethyl for washing amber? I've had some good results using acetone as a 2nd wash as well.

Usually I'm too lazy tho and just purge without any secondary solvents

A batch of unknown:

sorry, no ideas, never compared them, I have only ethanol expirience with small amounts to evape.
I've read from Gunnaknow posts that ethanol, acetone and isopropyl work the same way.

Usually I'm too lazy tho and just purge without any secondary solvents
it allows us to obtain optical purity, transparent corkscrew would look funny.
.. old ones.
:) but gold ones!

i've never used a secondary solvent either. i don't see how it would improve a product that is so pure already.

The affinity of butane to alcohol is greater than butane to THC IIRC, so the use of a secondary solvent ensures complete removal of residual butane.

It's standard procedure in pharm for purifying medications for IV use

Hey Dope roor how do you shape your oil in all those crazy shapes?? I want to do it with my oil. Make made little oil sculputures.

The oil is stable enough that at room temperature is rock hard. It becomes malleable at body temp :)
