theyettie Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Hi all. I gonna attempt making BHO and then infusing it into MCT oil with added lecithin. I understand the process and the risks involved, so those aspects are covered, but I do have some questions and would really appreciate input from the pro's here. 1. Why is stainless steel mesh preferred over coffee filters and where do I get the right mesh? 2. I'm planning to use low heat (double boiler) to purge, that is sufficient right? 3. If the answer to number 2 is no, where does one get the right gear for vacuum purging? 4. Must I put the herb and butane in the freezer? It seems that no-one can agree on this... I get the fact that the actual butane can would probably not enjoy the -15C in the freezer, but as I understand it when you freeze the flower, the trichomes detach easier, so maybe just freeze the herb then? 5. If I use 20g, hopefully get a 10% yield, which will give me 2g extract. My plan is then to infuse this into 10ml of MCT, giving me 200mg/ml. I'm trying to create a rudimentary "metered dose" this way. Am I making sense? 6. I've got absolutely no idea how these closed loop systems work, so my first couple of attempts will be open blasting, just to get a feel for butane. Maybe later I'll invest in close loop if it's worth it. Let's have a chat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
420sake Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 What happened? Were you successful? Been open blasting for many years now. Keen to find a closed loop system to get more production. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
