Sr. Verde's: Concentrate Corner

Shatter can be handles and rolled into balls if u do it right. Not syrup. Budder is what i make a few dispensaries because they want both kinds. I like em both but shatter is the way to go.

I'm super baked and this is a little complex right now...lol
But honestly a "budder" texture is more what I'm after...never been a huge fan of the runny,syrupy,sticky ass oil....I like something I can handle..take dunks instead of dabs...after talking to verde today about vac purging, I decided to ghetto rig the intake side of my air compressor and rig it up to a mason jar....actually worked pretty good....did three purges and all three times it purged out to a nice little muffin of oil....then it was runny again so I whipped...lol....It's by far the best I've made, so I'm happy!!!! Will be getting a real vac pump in the near future....thinking the mason jar will do just fine for now.

If your getting a vac muffin on your last purge your doing it wrong. The oil shouldn't bubble at all for the last purge, that's how you know there isn't butane in it.

I spent $300 on basic materials just for my vac purge tek to get it as perfect as I think you can get it, which is near zero butane contamination. Your not going to be able to do the same thing safely or efficiently with just some basic materials laying around. The mason jar would implode if you got it to the actual pressure you should be purging at .

But yeah, I agree with dank.

I only use my hand vac sometimes and its for the finishing touches...I would like to save for a 2 stage and chamber, but for now i'm rocking the hot water baths(150 degrees) and toaster oven!

This has been giving me fully purged, terpene filled shatter taffy every time!!

man your guys meds look sooo gooood, sweet ass thread verde, would it be possible to get a shot of the meds right before it goes into the extractor?? please im using a honey bee ex, till i get my glass tube, my yields are not as they should be and ive been experimenting alot lately, wondering if its the tube, lol i member i saw a video were HB was just loding str8 nugz!, dam, anyways sweet thread

I've definitely posted pictorials of the whole process 2-3 times.. In this thread..

Your wanting to see the ground up bud before it gets packed? Yeah - Look for the long pictorials, probably near the beginning of the thread and in the middle and also 2/3 in. I'd look myself but I'm running out the door right now.

ok cool, thanks, i mean ive been seeing alot of just the medicine used, but im sure im just missing it somewhere

To be fair, it was pretty deep in there. The actual photos of the material was like 35 pages back I found them for you though!

hell yea thanks man, wow ur flowers are very tasty looking, the oil looks better IMO!!

Doing it wrong.....I don't think so....Not doing it long enough or with a strong enough vac, sounds more realistic....Harbor Freight is just not something I pass by daily....will eventually make my way there for the pump!

is the increase in yield from using bud instead of trim double?.. triple?

Those buds you used look hella nice verde.... I have the same scissors too

Think about it like this, the yields from bho when done correctly and throrouhly are a mere reflection of the thc content of the material used. If your bud test at 15% I would expect around that for yields and since the lower in quality you use means lowered thc, then that should answer your question.

definitely strain dependent, but i would say with nugs expect in the 5-10% + range for your yield...my nug runs are usually from 15-25% strain dependent; sour d and kushs being at the higher end of the spectrum!!
its the fact that less plant material is exposed to the solvent in nug runs-leaving the tastiest, stankiest, potent terpenes, cannabinoids, and flavoids to be extracted.

Spray on

Don't take it the wrong way, I'm not trying to be a know it all prissy pants I'm just saying: If by the last vacuum purge, the oil is expanding and puffing up that means there is still oil present. I do 4-5 purges at 29hg with 5 minute exposures each time, and by the 5th time the oil hardly responds to the pressure change, and only a few bubbles form. That's how i know it's devoid of butane.

Vacuums are all or nothing, I'm finding out.

I use frost covered trim for the BHO. I will pull like 2.0-3.5g from an oz of trim. Then I will pull 4.0-6.0g per oz of flowers. The quality on the trim BHO is just as good if not better than most.

Just so you know, most of those tests when they say "15% THC" mean that 15% of any given trichome is THC. It is most often a reflection of the percent of the THC in the resin, and less often a ratio of plant matter to psychoactive substances by weight.

Definately dont "devo" your bho. Evenn the act of scraping your pyrex int good. Look up oil slicks on amazon.com. Thats how u get perfect shatter. Spray and purge the same thing. No agitation.

yo you sayin you can spray directly on the slick i cant get a side shot on those, so i cant tell

Yeah dankshizzle, whats up with that? It looks interesting, but from here it just looks like a dab pad. How do you spray/collect on it?

Where can I get a vacume to purge my bho? .... Lol

This is what I use.

I think it's pretty awesome. http://www.harborfreight.com/two-stage-3-cfm-air-vacuum-pump-66466.html

I've done like 15-20 separate purges with it and it's still working great. I also got a 2 year full warranty for $20.

Made some oil from some shake tonight.. Used about 1oz and a half this run... I think it's mostly Tahoe OG shake.

First purge


Third purge

How to make a parchment bowl for your scraped oil, perfect, every time:

Info:
This works excellent, & fits perfectly in my vacuum chamber.

Materials:
Two identical bowls, parchment paper, scissors.
________________________________________________________________


Place bowl on table


Place flat sheet of parchment paper over bowl.


Put second bowl on top of parchment paper, and push into the lower bowl, like a sandwich.


Trim around the rim.


Remove bowls, and your left with a bowl shaped piece of parchment paper.

Line the pan. Teflon sheets also work.
