hello. been lurking icmag for a while. i come from GC. but i have a question on how much butane i should use. this is my new glass extractor and it holds around a quarter, a little more i think. im gonna use the 320 mL cans of vector, how many cans do you think i would need for 2 runs? im gonna do a whole nug run, then a ground up run. thanks

If the extracting tube is full of weed I like to completely fill it with butane to make sure every lasgt crumb get touched.
If you don't know the exact size of your tube fill it with water then tip the water into a measuring jug, this will tell you how much butane to use

Okief tube

Okief tube

Ok jus got finished reading the whole thread, super long& very educational. Thanx to all for ur posts. I have a question tho do they ship the okeif tube to cali& what type of box does it come in??? Hopying for answer peace green rasta

 

[Chiefsmokingbud]

^^^ yes to cali in discreet packaging

 

[accessndx]

My okief box was shaped like a giant cannabis leaf with neon flashing lights that said: this package contains material inappropriate for individuals under 18. There were also some indiscreet caricatures of stereotyped rastafarians smoking large joints as well as 4:20 emblazoned on every side of the package.
Luckily I had it delivered to my workplace. I'm not sure it would have been cool to ship to my home.

[Green rasta]

K jus ordered the okief tube#2! I can't wait hopefully they have it in stock. Peace green rasta

 

[foaf]

what happens if you make bho using fresh, undried weed? And do people think there is some difference in bho from cured vs just dried pot? thanks.

 

[Green rasta]

I'm no expert but from reading the thread it says u could have a blow out! Not recommended hopefully chief... Or hashmkutt will answer more thouroughy. Peace green rasta

 

[Bumble Buddy]

Hehe I doubt foaf will have any blowouts, check out the honey pot link in his sig. I like oil from cured buds better generally but I've seen some solid recommendations that fresh dried buds crumbled just a little is best.

Hiya all,
Just to share my last BHO extraction with Okief tube, i purged it for long, whisking it at the same time.

This is the result, almost solid BHO

 

[MoldyFrogToe]

Ran 2.5 cans of vector through the tubes. Took 45 min to purge most of the butane. As you can see the liquid butane was pretty dark as it came out to begin with. Gonna let it sit for an hour on the pad before i scrape

2.5? Is it just me or is that a lot. Or was that a lot of weed?

I've always wanted to figure out when the diameter maxes out and efficiency is lost.
It would seem like a narrow tube is better, made of glass (just bc it's fun to be able to see through )
Higher velocity of your butane, increased likelihood of sweeping the entire mass of nugs including the outer diameter..

For others, to cut down on the 45 min purge one could pause and do multiple plates so the surface area to volume of the oil on the pan is increased.
Pre heating plates works too
45 mins is nuts! I'm not as patient as you

 

[Chiefsmokingbud]

uh, that's a 1.5" x 15" tube so 2.5 cans is about right

 

[MoldyFrogToe]

Yessssssssssss

 

[FarmerGreen]

uh, that's a 1.5" x 15" tube so 2.5 cans is about right

How much weed did it take to fill it and how much bho did it make.

Also how long do you let the butane "pass" the weed for. I often wonder if slow is better

 

[MoldyFrogToe]

Packing it tight is best bc it slows down the velocity and increases contact

 

[Hashmasta-Kut]

it doesnt make a huge difference if your weed material is not too dense tho, as in hard buds should either be packed tight, or taken apart into small bits if not packed tight. soft fluffier buds it wont be more efficient to pack tighter.
