Butane's sitting here (67 cans,) and iam 2high hasn't gotten back to me since I sent him my address, I think he looked at the trip distance and backed off. ;-) Anyone else?

The Inland Empire of SoCal is hell, I wish I'd never gotten stuck out here in Timbuktu. Anyway... free butane, come and get it, the guy that picked up my leftovers last year made the short trip up from Temecula.


I thought the supplier of BHO 5X and BHO 7X was obvious enough in choosing a product name, but this one's just about as flaming.... :laughing:

I post up residue test results on it asap.

I have very high hopes for this one, it's from a company that already has several varieties of clean canned butane,

I believe there is no country of origin on the can for reason, these guys are playing the world field now, guy at Ignitus filled me in...

Medicail 9X had 0.018g of residue

Medicali 9X, country of manufacture?, 300ml can (245ml actual,) reads on the bottom "150107"

The non-volatile residue in the test bag was very slightly tinted yellow and there was little odor, too bad there was so much.


The rest of this case will be added to those I'm offering to give away for free, go back several posts for the details.

A Certificate of Analysis from the factory is not a third party lab test, and doesn't reveal the non-volatile residue (Mystery Oil.)

Here's how to test your canned or bulk butane quickly, simply, easily, conveniently, inexpensively, and accurately with just a 165g sample (one 300ml can's worth.)

Marley 7X had 0.023g of residue

Marley 7X, China, 360ml can (165.8g actual,) reads on the bottom "MAN: 05/08/2014 EXP: 04/08/2016 37280114036"

The non-volatile residue was clear with moderate odor.


That's 99.986% pure if taking just the Mystery Oil into account, versus the claim of "99.995% Pure" on the can.

Butane's sitting here (67 cans,) and iam 2high hasn't gotten back to me since I sent him my address, I think he looked at the trip distance and backed off. ;-) Anyone else?

Last call, come and get it or it's going to my local smoke shop...

11 cans Capital N-buatane (new stuff)

11 cans Capital N-blend (new stuff)

6 cans Capital N-butane

9 cans Puretane (new stuff)

10 cans Colibri

4 cans Vector 14X

2 cans Turbo 9X

2 cans Roor

10 cans Fasfil

1 can Amp

1 can whip-it! 7X

11 cans Medicali 9X

Not a word, cops apparently aren't interested either. :biggrin:

The new Capital's going for $85/case, the new Puretane $75/case, Colibri $65/case, anyone could pick it up and turn it at Craig's List or eBay in a flash. Are you guy's that paranoid, or just lazy? I'm sick, I just don't won't to mess with it. I'll give it one more day, and then it goes to one of my local smoke shops.


The largest of my local smoke shops wouldn't take it! Wanted a frickin' invoice!! Second stop, and after a few minutes of repeating for free, over and over, mission accomplished! Guy had never heard of Capital or Puretane..... I left him a print out of my Beat to Worst Canned Butane list, and told him how to check for updates here at ICMAG Forums.

Super 5X had 0.032g of residue

Super 5X, Korea, 300ml can (164.0g actual,) reads on the bottom "130626"


The residue had a slight yellow tint, and an ok odor.

Bump,

Where's all the promised testing of the butane/propane tanks you guys are dumping onto the market place knowing damn well much of it is used for open extractions?

Results please, or it's all just more BS, or obfuscation to the level of corrupt conspirators.

Where's the test results showing the percentage weight of non-volatile residue (THE MYSTERY OIL) for the lots of bulk butane you're selling?

Is it being "a troll" to go to a seller's IG site, and ask for these type of test results?

The only butane that I've recently had professionally tested, has been Praxair from JColtrane, and the results are that none was detected at the .234 PPM test cut off level.

I'll have it tested again to the PPB level, after distilling and filtering it. The VICI Metronics filters are imminently due for those tests.

Best value vac must have bought a pallet of china tane, they are selling it cheaper than ecogreen, buy 2 get 1 free, buy 5 get 5 free...those same green and orange tanks from alibaba, it's probably all similar. If you want to put someone on blast maybe it should be them sky, since a lot of their stuff is obviously catered to open blasters. But they have expanded their closed systems too

Oh and they have a stainless steel 30 LB LP tank for $612. Edit now it's $700

Residuals less than .234 ppm? That's less than .000000234g/g, or .0000234% right? Which would be 99.9999766% pure solvent, wow!

About the least non-volatile residual I've found with my testing was about .001g/165g, or .000006g/g, or .0006%, which would only be 99.9994% pure solvent.

No need to distill Praxair's 99.5% if true, huh? I call BS, flat out, send me a tank JC, I'll buy, if I find substantial Mystery Oil, you'll never hear the end of it. Do my test, save yourself this round and round that gets you nothing you can bet our health on... My simple test provides undeniable in your face results, weight/percentage, odor, and tint of the non-volatile residue for cheap at home.


I heard from the new business manager at RHS yesterday, they haven't begun testing yet. The word was, as with everyone I've talked with back channel, ''we're gonna test, test, test...' Please do, and post up the results asap. TIA!

"*This product is clean, colorless and odorless."

http://www.bestvaluevacs.com/r600-30lbs.html

I met the steersman at BVV at Chalice last year, common sense to a T. He's obviously very busy with a lot on his mind, but I think if several of you requested he do my test on his solvents, he might at least try it to satisfy his own curiosity. I know once he finds out what's going on, he'll poke around and score some decent gas...

It also says 600 on the site then 600a in the pic?

Turbo 5X had 0.017g of residue

Turbo 5X, Korea, 320ml can (180.1g actual,) reads on the bottom "150408"

The residue had very little yellow tint, and moderate odor.


Since I have a scale in right range now, the actual weight of the liquid butane that was collected in the jar was 139.9g, that's probably about the the amount (proportion wise) lost due to blow by in all of my tests.
I never said my test results were absolute in their accuracy, just in the ball park... ;-) but the testing procedure is consistent, so I firmly believe the brands can be ranked relatively without dispute.

FYI from A6 Grower (was news to me)

"Im the very first person on this fourm to bring Mystery oil to light https://www.icmag.com/ic/showpost.php?p=5734082&postcount=109 back on april 23 2013 and have been preaching about distillation ever since."

Interesting thread, if you read on you'll also find the use of plain rubber HVAC hoses brought into question, I assume for the first time.


Secondly, yesterday I heard this from GW,

"I stand by my statement that for the purposes of comparing the different sources, your test does a fine job of fulfilling the purpose, but I wouldn't walk into a court of law with it, for the reasons that I gave you when I ran the test myself and determined that the low density poly bags absorb and desorb the butane, which makes accurate weighing problematic.

I haven't mentioned that on line,"

As I replied back to brother GW way back when he first attempted his version of the test, vacuum down the bag after the test. It's a very simple test, but requires following the instructions exactly as written. If you really believe in the bag trapping butane, or whatever... a simple small bowl can be formed of aluminum foil to use as a tare boat.

My results don't waver, and are very definitive... for example give me two cans each of six brands of butane with the labels masked and I can identify with my test with 100% accuracy the pairs.

Evaporation testing is the laboratory standard for solvents.

"Petroleum Ether, A.C.S. Reagent, 500ml (16oz)

Specifications:
Meets ACS Specifications
Boiling range 35 degrees - 60 degrees C Pass
Maximum limits of impurities
Color (A.P.H.A.) 10
Acidity Pass
Copper corrosion Pass
Doctor test Pass
Residue after evaporation 10ppm
Sulfur 5ppm
Benzene (GC) 2ppm

CAS: 8032-32-4"

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Petroleum-E...905?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3a826f1bf9

Residue after evaporation 10ppm


Kevin at RHS linked me to this, click on "Look Inside"

http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/BF02631707#page-1

That's an evaporation test using a huge sample size to gain accuracy due to the gross taring and weighing methods.
