As far as I or anyone can tell Power7x = Power5x, except with the 7x you're paying for a "more refined" product (which is like "organic," a selling point), the factory that produces them only produces one grade of commercial butane...Yeah I was reading that thread... I saw some dude saying he sprayed like 3 cases no problem and then I realized it was you
I was googling power 5x case and 7x came up for like the same price.
edit: oops found 2 cases of 5x for $82 shipped..
So Power 5x is good to go?
$82 shipped wouldn't be too bad, but what about hazmat fees, are they factoring those in? I believe you have to pay the fee when shipping anything over a few cans, but I could be wrong. I still haven't figured out how my local shop gets them in for so cheap, but it's probably because they get it by the pallet...

No hazmat fees for me, $82 including everything.
OK on some of RIUs good word on Power 5x quality, I just picked up 2 300ml cases..
Heres a link for anyone looking for more, the retailer still has like 8 cases.. But seriously how to these people get into the butane hustle
. I need to! If my local retailers were dry I could refresh their butane supply, if only i had 20 cases!

Hey guys, have y'all tried newport 10x refined butane?? The can says "NeAr zero impurities", and it's 14.99 a CAN
. Im thinking bout buying a can to do a mirror test. Just damn 15$ a can is a lil much. I honestly just want to find the best butane.
Also, what type of screen do you recommend for an extractor

I read after 3x its not getting you a cleaner butane. It depends on what they ADD to it not how many times they purify it. It's about the propane and waxea in the tane.
You guys ever see food grade butane. Made by lucienna in a brown can. Its for food.

Exactly why I wish I had access to the MSDS on the specific brands of the butanes, to see which has the most N-Butane.. And the least iso-butane, propane, or waxes.
I use the 120 micron screens at the bottom of this page. http://okief.com/bho1.html
I actually technically use everything on that page, but your looking for screens.

Thanx fellas!!! Hey verde, do you have the single okief or the double? Only 30 bucks extra for the double I'm thinking about getting it in case I wanna do a large run (of course only outside
) It's funny because I'm crazy with the safety part of this butane extraction stuff, but my buddy is so not worried about it. Its making me want to only blast alone. I'm not going to go to jail/die because of an ignorant mistake. I told him yesterday "Wait until your punk ass has to do that stop drop and roll method, and I'll just say I told you so" xD
How do you +rep?? Verde deserves it for this dope thread

Go for the double, I should have gone for two doubles. They are not permanently attached to those bases - in fact I just remove the stands with an allen wrench as soon as I get it, and stash it away. I use the tubes by themselves, and hold them above the pan when spraying. One after the other. I also use a rubber potholder, you can find them at the grocery store by the pots and pans. I wrap my rubber pot holder tightly around the metal tube, hold it above the pan and spray. You don't want to drop your tube into your oil, or have your working hands uncomfortable at all. The tube gets cold and slippery as the butane goes from high pressure (can) to low pressure (tube).
If you want to blast alone then blast alone. Get your shit figured out then teach your homie how to do things properly, or show him this thread.
I think blasting is like shooting guns. If you do it absolutely wrong, people can die. But generally smart people who take the proper precautions spray BHO and shoot guns with no problems ever.
Just stay outside, where there is a good airflow. Remember butane can pool, invisibly. Remember that static can ignite a pool of butane, in 'rare' circumstances. Stay away from lighters, or cigarette smokers who don't know that they can't spark up outside.

Thank you for the veteran info!! One question, why don't you use the stand?? Just seems like it would help with that slipping and super cold part. I think you said why earlier in the thread just don't feel like going through and finding it >.<Very, very true. I was just hoping my chemicals aren't labeled in the same ways as energy drinks, but people will be people

Now that I know what button it is, +rep to you verde for the veteran thread and response!

Well I mean a can of butane will spray for about 30 seconds, then your onto the next tube. So the stands would get annoying, and cluttered. Also, your stands with the 3 feet will have hash oil on the feet. That's just another surfact you have to scrape, or lose oil on..
The metal will technically shrink, with the extreme cold, and still poses a threat of falling through even when screwed onto the stand. I just find it's easier to get a rubber pot holder, which will firmly grip cold metal and hold it for 30 seconds. The rubber cork design on the okiefs make it super easy to spray. It requires very little pressure to get the butane flowing well, and it's very quiet with no leaks at the tops. Zero hissing. Just the sound of butane flowing.
Some random pics of my tube in action, to give you an idea.

Damn they are actually kinda small haha, for some reason they looked really big on the site..
So that thing can fit 20 grams? Also I see that your bud on the left is ground up pretty well, do you prefer buds or ground up when you blast?

They hold about 1oz, either a little more or a little less depending on the density of the material. They offer a larger tube, but I stick to the regular ones because I feel like you get better more complete flow over your material that way.
I prefer my material consistently ground, I use a 4 piece grinder and the bud falls through when its the size of a pencil eraser. I wouldn't recommend pulverizing your bud into dust, because when that gets wet and sticky with tane it will turn into a mucky substance that clogs up. You want an even flow of butane around your material for best yield and consistency
