Butane extraction with non high quality butane?

Guest

is it possebile to extract honey oil with butane, if there are no way to get a refined or even high quality butane? Would some layers of active carbon before the weed in tube get the nasty stuff out of butane??

butane is a great way to extract oil , but if you cant obtain a quality butane
then i would not reccomend it.

i use lucienne or something like that , it seems to be very high quality

the way to test quality is to spray the butane on a mirror from about a few inches away and then observe how much residue is left on the mirror
the stuff i have used leaves almost nothing at all

btw, i now make all my trim into hash, which uses no solvents and is therefore a much cleaner and superior product

good luck my friend

Never had to resort to using bad tane but it can be done. ninja would pack the top of his tube with 1-2" of activated carbon and according to him it does remove some of the mercaptons. How much of the mercaptons is removed i can't personally say.

PS. Mercaptons is the bad stuff we don't want and it's added to give a rotten egg smell to detect a gas leak. I also would not suggest using any type of camping stove fuel. Most of that has rust inhibitors added which is really bad.

'clipper' was the cheapest tane ive used....was fine...2 bucks and change...best stuff dunhill and vector quintup...hmm..i like vector or commercial tanks...

if youre talking RONSONS brand....dude..youre better off buying a 32oz of KING COBRA beer and eating the glass....

try a smoke shop....if in big city...they have vector for tane/BHO heads..3.50 USD..nuff for a gram plus..or a night higher than youve ever been :retarded:

BHO KILLS!!!..........
your day..~high~

HMK..what do you use???

clipper changed the bottle a few back..i saw zero residue with mine..no sulphur smell..NONE

clipper is definetely sold as "nonpremium" and thus the price...but in my experience...its infinitely better than ronsons or other cheapo 99 cent gas mixes...its the top of the line generic it seems...not ultra-refined 5 times like vect...but still very good...the nonpremiums norm leave traces of crap on glass...clipper dunt..

cheapest "premium" ive seen and tried was LAVA...no residue either..all the good stuffs korean...

think phife listed clipper as usable??...its not labled "zero impurities" though..
yea the metal tip is a premium style feature...odd...

also think the charcoal idea would help even as a particle filter helping to improve the product...never tried...worth a spin though...

it has those contents listed? never seen that.

400 ml is big. ~(';')~

i know colibri sez there mix is 51% n-butane . 32% Iso-butane, and 1% propane. but i had to go dig to get that.

yep it lists those three under contents. but no precentages are marked. it also spells them without the e at the end even on the english side lol. i thought that was wrong. what do you say about the honeybee extractor? it seems to be made from plastic. it also seems wider then most bho tubes i've seen. will it be fine or should it be stainless steal turkey baster, or even the nice o'kief unit with it's own stand?

plastic...is a general term..what kind of plastic...some have more solvent resistance than metals...

problem is PVC....leaches crap..then turns into carcinogenic booboo upon combustion...dont use it...lots use other plastics.."pete" "pet" plastic...think most soda is in pete plast..just look on the side/bottom if your country recycles...

thinner extractors seem to increase yield..someone ran a test..assume it was accurate...id agree ime..bho extracts ala ghetto are by no means 100% efficient either way...

colibri..yea never see tall cans...the vector comes in some 320mls.. "vector signature ultra-premium"...does a good job

remember phife saying the cheap stuff is mostly iso-butane..

I use a "ghetto" pvc extractor and never had a leaching prob, nothing but pure sweet oil, the downside to it was that it wouldn't seal completely so when it reached a certain pressure point some oil and freezing butane would shoot out, I didnt even realize it until I noticed sticky oil on my shirt and oven mit. The crappiest butane I've used was King that stuff is watered down or cut with something it allways left water on top of my oil. But thanks to some smart bho guys I know how to evap everythng and make a hard oil thats easier to handle, thanks guys

ya i dunno bout da honey bee. glass or stainless would be ideal. even thinwall glass turkey basters work without breakage :)


i get colibri in 300 ml cans.

Hey Guys,I have a Honey Bee Extractor I modified and I think it works great.Its not PVC although it is some kind of plastic.The problem I have with Okief tubes is you spend good money for a nice product and you still have to use a ghetto clamp to hold the screen/filter in place.It seems easy enuff to make a threaded peace on the end to retain the screen/filter.


 
it says on the manufacturers website for those honeybee extractors that they are made from a space aged chemically resistant plastic...
