yes...make sure you only spray the glass portion of the apparatus outside. I suggest setting it in a tub or any vessle that can handle the glass pans size, and fill it with hot water. having the glass already warm/hot to the touch will allow you to evaporate the butane at a much faster rate, usualy a 5.5 ounce can worth in about 5 mins. once no more liquid is present, take the glass pan and set it up on your electric heater and let sit for 2-3 hours on low(145-165F). scrape and enjoy. my rule of thumb to know the oil is all the way purged is if you put a a small amount of oil on a paper clip it should not sparkle or spatter. it should just melt with few or no bubbling. i've been making BHO for 7yrs now, and i see lots of tainted oil. i will post the results of some oil we had tested 5 years ago, astounding results....

i've been under the impression that terpenes don't start to degrade til around 155-170 degrees, i cook at 145...keeps the flavor. but i do agree at too high of temps, good by terpenes.
well a lot of bubbles in oil are terpenes, is what i am saying. oil can bubble crazily, and its not butane.

indeed this is true, you can see the butane condense in the bubble for the most part early in the purge.
mos def g man.
