[video=youtube_share;ASff0oNI9D4]http://youtu.be/ASff0oNI9D4[/video]

The Blueberry extract, after winterizing. Nice vac video i think, it was a long video so i'm only posting the first 60sec.
I'll post some pics here in a bit too.

So how does one winterize? Is it something I do immeditily after doing my BHO extract? I add 91%+ ISO (or everclear) to the just sprayed BHO and then I put it in the freezer?

how i winterize:

phew. sooo, i just purchased my everclear about 2 weeks ago.. picked up 6 - 1.75 L bottles! hope i didnt clean them out :]

i just checked the website, says they are out. i hope they restock, and continue shipping!

ok. so, step by step:
i now start off with my butane and everclear straight out of the freezer.. (seems like you get a better spray out of chilled butane, and i use chilled everclear just to keep things preserved :] )

spray butane though column into collection dish.

boil off tane until oil becomes less runny. (bubbles barely seem to move by this point.) If temps are above 70F, no need for any fancy heating elements, lately its been 80F + around here, simple outside purging.

i add the everclear to the bho while it still has some run to it.. ( i add a good amount, over 5 times the amount of bho oil.. )

i then wrap some food wrap over dish, and place in freezer. ( be sure you have your freezer set at lowest temp)

dont rush this part, give it minimal 48 hours for the magic to take place. ( i once winterized in freezer for 9 days, seemed to have no ill effect)

after winterization, rig yourself something like this to filter out the gunk. collect the goods under the filters in a pyrex.



it will take some time to strain the liquid, so try and get your entire strainer rig to fit inside your freezer while this takes place.

here is where things get fun.. and people can differ, but! after you have the goods collected in your pyrex, boil off ethanol @ 95-110F .

the liquid will eventually start to bubble up, and most the ethanol will have been boiled off..

from here on out, i remove from heat, and vacuum purge no heat and get my muffin :]

you can do a lot after you get a muffin..

say you were trying to work with already made waxes, and oils. and you dont need to do all the bho spraying..

i would use a 2:1 ratio of everclear to hash oil..

start off with warmed everclear (80-90F) add oil to it, and mix.... the heated everclear will break down what ever hash oil you are working with much easie rthan 0F everclear..

from there on out, follow the winterizing part ( place in freezer. etc.)

well... 14 days in the chamber!!! sounds like some sort of punishment back in the old days.

day 1:




day 6:




day 8:




day 13

haha, not anymore ehhh.. you and i both would have though if it was one of our first waxes..



16 days way to freakin long!

good move to drop the heat as you went. but keep it above 100F next time :] ..save you about a week.



SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. i think im way off on adding 0F everclear to your freshly blasted bho..

i sprayed the other day, boiled off tane till it barely ran..

and well, added my cold ass everclear.. didnt stir it up at all. placed in freezer.. 30 hours later, i check on it, and find a nice thick chunky gooey slab of dark on the bottom of my payrex, along with almost clear everclear up top.. this sucked, i tried stirring it up, didnt really do much, just made pretty shapes in the goo..

sooo, i took the pyrex filled with eveything, placed in my microwave.. microwaved in 15 second increments. checked temp of liquid, got it up to 90F, started to see a tiny bit of bubbling action.. stopped micro-waves.. proceeded to stir up mix... mixed untill i got every single thing dissolved.. gahhhhhhhhhhhhhh. placed back into freezer.. 4 hours later, im starting to see the actual light colored shit separate now.


sooo, wtf@!! i dont know how i got away with this the last time.. i thought i did it the same way.. i may have added the 0F everclear to the bho earlier while it was more runny.. but fuck.. this has been a waste of time. i gots to get things moving!

ok. so, i here we are again..
sprayed my bho, boiled off tane, oil was about 80F.

added 90F everclear.. that seemd to instantly darken my shit ?!!!!! hopefully im just trippen..

tried to break up bho.. was still pretty thick...
microwaved 10 secs, brought it up to 100F

stirred up, i was able dissolve everything thank goodness.. BUT! i think i may have sacrificed my color.. i sure hope not. i am doing(same batch) a bit more oil this time, so maybe its just thicker..

ahh, we'll see how it all turns out..

dont think you can smoke that?!??! what big pussies you are!!!!

it was heated the first week. then I went on vacation and turned the griddle off, and just let it sit for a few more days. still gets me high, what more do ya want??

I love the wax! It's so much more potent. One or two hits and I'm right I have read the instructions and I think I am ready to try it. Wish me luck!

hhaa, wax oil, resins, they alll pretty potent. just make um cleannnnnnnnnnn..

vacpurge, ok, id smoke it :]

thats better. thank you

no i am sorry man i would cook with it, i am not hating, because i know that you get your material from people that have had there stuff sitting around collecting the shake from the bottom of the bags. i think it is harder to make older stuff wax up in part because as time goes the thc breaks down and turns amber.

and people say you are what you eat....

Hey. I was wondering y my wax comes out brown all the time, it honeycombs up real good but stays dark. I do jst about everything the tutoriol says so i was wondering if it could be the pump or the trim. I have a 2.5 cfm and a 3cfm pump. Ive tried em both out and seem to get the same results with each. The trim that i get is kind of old too so i was thinking it could be that.

Please help.

hey! many a times, i get dark material as well.
the key to a lighter color is to work with a freshly harvested, and stored properly plant material..

also, early harvested sativa strains will give you the lightest colors..

ALSO, many people treat the trimmings like dirt. they sweep it up off the ground, they dont properly store the dried material, letting it sit out in paper bags, plastic bags, etc.!

you preferably want your trims, and inputs to smell good, stink good, and stick good..

helped :]


to give you a good idea of how crucial young/properly stored material is:

i grew a plant, cut her down, hang dried for about 1 week, blew half of what was dried.. got some super nice almost neon colored wax

so, i left half the plant just hang there for 2 more weeks, (3 weeks off plant total) it got extremely dry, to the point where it crumbled.. i blasted that into oil, and although the texture was similar, the nice neon type of colors did not exist, i had this brownish dull color..

fresh fruit for the best dish :]

does it really make better oil, or just a lighter color, which seems to be more appealing to people.

It does. All in all . Most The bho is going to get you high. But even bad bud that is fresh tastes better than anything old I've ever made. Terpenes play a big role in making the overall product better .

hm. I hear what youre saying... that last run I posted.. the one with 14g and 3.3g return. that bud was very very fresh. my buddys uncle grew it, so he knows the grower closely. no bullshit happening here... dont happen too often. anyways, it was super fresh bud, and I also didnt purge it as long, and man is this stuff potent. between the fact that its fresh, and the fact that I only vacced for 6 hours not 600 hours, makes it the nicest oil ive ever made... and once again, all dependent on the starting material. taste is fucking amazing (for once) and it makes it soo much more enjoyable, its also very potent (duh)

I am so done with wax its not even funny. I am absolutely in love with this snap taffy stuff. plus the fact that I dont need to run my griddle for weeks straight, vac my product for weeks straight (killing its taste I now realize) then having to deal with this crumbly shit thats impossible to deal with is awesome!!!! now I gotta get rid of my triple perc bong and get a real oil rig so I can really get stoned.

a .4 bong hoot the size of a pea shouldnt get me as high as a blade toke the size of a grain of sand... gotta be the water!

under the right conditions. You can have old material that can still produce excellent oil. But that takes correct curing,storage, etc.

Water is non polar at room temp right? So Doe more water really hurt?

Thats what i thout it was. Thanks man ive been tryin to figure this out for hella long now. I appreciate the help.

My 3cfm pump recently started leaking oil into the chamber and ruined a batch. I switched the hose with on/off valve over to the 2.5cfm and worked fine with no leak but the smell of oil is a bit there still. How can i clean it to make the smell go away? And what do u think is wrong with my 3cfm pump?

How did it leak oil into the chamber with the pump running, or the valve between the pump and chamber closed? Did you shut off the pump, before closing the valve?

We've had some success cleaning up pump oil messes using an alcohol, hexane and brine wash. You might try it with a small sample:

Dissolve it in alcohol, add equal parts hexane and salt water, shake well, and separate using a seperatory funnel. http://skunkpharmresearch.com/getting-the-green-and-waxes-out-afterwards/
