DIY BHO Extractors?

[m00]

hi i was thinking about making a BHO extractor with a few household items and was wondering if anyone could see any issues health or otherwise in doing this.

my first idea was to use an empty beer can:
cut top 1" off
prick a load of holes in the bottom
add dry bud/trim
tape top back on
make small hole in the top to fit butane adapter
fill and drain butane into a dish

and the second idea was to use a length of 100mm ducting with a piece of aluminium mesh so i could add 200g+ at once

i think you'd be better of going with some pipe fittings and a drill...the tape + butane sounds messy

My mate uses a 15mm copper central heating pipe [held in a lab clamp] to make pukkka BHO, even this he has managed to bllow up, grenading stinky green bits all over his back garden, just as his neighbours came out for a cigarette 6 feet away......

I use a Gatorade/Powerade bottle, some coffee filter and a clean cigarette filter, it works like a charm.

Just clean the bottle and drill a small hole in the bottom, then place the cig filter in the "nipple" on the cap, and the coffee filter between the cap and the bottle. Trimmings in the bottle, close her up tight and spray the butane in the hole in the bottom.

i tried using the beer can and it worked pretty well. the butane had no contact with the tape and i blocked the mouth hole with some kitchen foil. only downside is that i couldnt fit that much stuff in it. so next im gonna try the ducting with about 5oz and maybe 1500ml of butane.

um also is it possible to make bho with damp/wet trim or does it need to be bone dry?

It needs to be bone bone dry, or the cold butane will make ice crystals and interfere with the process.

you can use damp material, you just get less yield. however i have been told running trim wet gives a really good quality of oil, much better than running trim dry, but you dont get a lot.

i just get stainless steel turkey basters.............piece of metal mesh....and a coffee fiter...just as good as okief and like 10 bucks. Just gotta hold it.....no stand.

Just got a case of vector in today.

I made mine with stainless steel tube, stainless mesh secured by a hose clamp, a piece of coffee filter inside the stainless mesh and the botom of a clipper lighter on the other end. It's a small tube with a small diameter so it doesn't take that much herb but it works great and I never had a blow-out. The clipper lighter botom has a good valve that can hold the gas pressure inside the tube and still lets you blow in when the can is depleted to get that last drop of butane out.
