Many headshops sell an apparatus called the Honey Bee extractor. It is essentially a tube to pack your weed into.... one end has a number of holes in it, much like a shower head.... there is usually a paper filter at this end. At the opposite end there is a whole that is just the right size to stick the butane can's nozzle in. Blast the butane through the extactor, catching the butane/ganga mix on the other end in a pyrex pan. The butane gases of VERY rapidly, sometimes leaving frost on the outside of the catching container. After a short while, your honey oil is ready to smoke....... assuming that your starting product was of reasonable quality (and you didn't use crap butane with additives), you will have some very potent smokeables. When carrying this procedure out, be extremely cautious with potential ignition sources. Play safe kids......

THC is a fatty acid which means its alcohol soluble. Just boil it down in alcohol.

what is the thing he uses to pack the weed and send teh butane through?

you can do this with the leaves too!

I prefer the caveman method, just burn and breathe. Grow better stock if your thc is low. Cross breed your hydro, keep it fresh. Ghetto hash is always ghetto hash, the real resin comes from rubbing your hands on fresh plants.

Reply to #25:  Addendum: because the glands are partially closed before blending, the dual-extraction method *does* improve THC yields over both methods. Also, hash is easier to pack and smoke through than resin.

Reply to #7:  THC is far more miscible in butane (and in general, n-anes) than isopropanol (or other alcohols). Meanwhile, if you're going for a less-toxic-than-butane solution, grain ethanol is the way to go; ethanol's boiling point is far lower than that of THC, and there's no problem even if you can't get the purity above 50%; the eth just acts as an accelerent.

Meanwhile, I would highly suggest leaving butane-extracted THC in an open jar in a warm, dry place for at least a week (or, an over on 'warm' for a day) before use, unless you're going to smoke it (in which case, any leftover butane just combusts).

Additional: on the note of making bubble hash: because bubble hash specifically extract the THC glands and not specifically the THC, you can improve your hash's potency significantly by pre-extracting the honey and mixing it in with the extracted and dried glands before the final pressing. Back when I used to smoke up, the results of that particular method was my fine port and cuban cigar.

1 - As long as you are doing this in a ventilated area its fine - DO NOT SMOKE!!!

2 - The longer the oil stays in the butane the more the THC will break down, use a wide pan, pref. a seramic caserole dish

3 - After you have the oil almost pure, put the dish in a 350 deg. oven for 5 min, it will take out the remaining butane.

La lata contiene \"Butane\" o \"Butano\". Tambien se puede usar otro tipo de alcohol , por ejemplo \"Isopropyl alcohol\".

Como se usa el aceite? Se puede poner el aceite en un cigarillo, o combinar con tabaco o marihuana.

El vapor del butano es muy peligroso - no se puede hacer esta actividad adentro - afuera es mas seguro.

Lo siento para el mal espanol - soy de USA! jajaja :)

Don't ever do this indoors.

Reply to #19:  @Visitor17: Your logic is flawed and if you had done any research (or taken a single high school chem class) you would know that ethanol is the name for a 2-carbon alcohol (an alcohol derived from ethane). The \"isopropyl\" part tells that there are _3_ carbons in that molecule and that the OH is on the center carbon. \"Isopropyl ethanol\" is like saying \"four-wheeled bicycle\".

@Visitor13: You sir, are not a chemist but an idiot. \"isopropyl ethanol\" = \"isopropyl alcohol\" since alcohol is just the broad name for carbon molecules with an O-H group, and in most circumstances is used to mean ethanol. Vodka contains alcohol, which means ethanol, if it meant methanol, propanol, hexanol, octanol ect you would die by drinking it! (Well ethanol is a toxic substance anyway, but you'd die faster)

@Visitor5: There's no such thing as \"isopropyl ethanol\" -- there's Isopropanol (isopropyl alcohol) and Ethanol (ethyl alcohol); two separate molecules. You must be a fine chemist indeed :P

The Butane extraction method does in fact work very well, but it's dangerous to try if you do not understand what you're doing. Smoke for a FEW YEARS before you try this. There are also many SAFER ways than this to make extractions. Google \"Bubble Hash\" for a safer alternative.

If you do try this, for the love of GOD do not use cheap butane. You need high quality butane with no additives.

Those bubbles you see, are butane bubbles. Some butane ALWAYS makes it through into the honey hash. I have tried to get them all out - 99% success, which really isn't high enough.

I have done this method in the past. Good luck!

I am a chemist and i would say do NOT do this. Extract with some isopropyl ethanol from the drug store lol.

answer _ yes this is dangerous, they dont seem to point out that you need to be in a well venthilated area due to the gas in the air.
