A comparison of running butane extracted BHO with fine blender buds vs lightly broken up buds.
-Used the exact same crop of Kush buds
-used the same glass extraction tubes
-packed the tubes with the same procedure and pressure.
-used the same number of filters
-used the same amount of butane per ounce of bud
-used frozen butane and frozen bud
-weighed everything with digital gram scale
Objective was to find out:
1. which will yield more oil? Using: fine ground blender bud or lightly broken up small pieces of bud in the same size extraction tube?
2. will the produced oil differ in color, smell, or texture made from fine ground vs lightly broken up small pieces of bud?
3. will running blender fine ground buds allow me to process more bud in a quicker amount of time than using the lightly broken up small pieces of bud?
The First Run Of Fine Ground Blender Buds
Ran 2 Extraction Tubes of 300 grams: 9 Cans of Butane Per Extraction Tube
Total of 600 grams
Frozen Butane And Frozen Tubes:
Did This Twice:
After Air Purging Overnight:
Scraped Onto Parchment:
In The Chamber For De-Muffining:
Folded Up Muffin And Weighed 151.9 gr - 7.7 gr Parchment =144.2 gr Post Muffin:
After Vac Purging for Hours It Settled Down And Lost 12.6 gr Weight:
Several Hours Later It Waxed Up Nicely And Lost A Bit More Weight 131.6 plus 3 Grams Scraps On Paper=134.6 Gram Total
Nice Golden Sand Color:
Super Dank Honeycomb!
^^^ This First Run Yielded 22.44% ^^^
The Second Run: The Lightly Broken Up Buds
Ran One Tube Of 185 grams With 7 Tubes Of Butane
Lightly Broken Up Into Very Small Pieces Of Bud-No Blender Or Cutting
Packed Tube With Same Procedure and Pressure As First Run:
Ready To Blast:
Used 7 Tubes Of Butane:
After De-Muffining Weighed 46.9 gr- 6.1 gr Parchment = 40.8 grams
After Vac Purging For Awhile:
After Several Hours More It Waxed Up Nicely To A Nice Blonde Sandy Color:
Nice Honeycombing Like The First Run:
Final Weight Was 35.3 Plus 1.3 gr Scraps On Paper = 36.9 gr
^^^ This Second Run Yielded 20% ^^^

My Conclusions:
1. Finely ground buds in a blender = higher yield than lightly broken up small pieces of buds by hand with no cutting or grinding
2. There was NO difference in color, smell, or texture of the honeycomb with either batches.
3. I can load way more finely ground blender buds in my extraction tubes than lightly broken up buds which will enable me to run much more product in way less time. I can fit 300 grams of fine ground bud in my tubes and only 185 grams of lightly hand broken up buds in the same tubes. And that's using the same packing procedure and pressure in the tubes. That is 62% more material I can process in the same amount of time resulting in the same quality of product.
Final Conclusion: I will always run finely ground blender buds in frozen tubes with frozen butane.

, mine is only for 14 grams,
