Hey there folks! First time in Alaska i like your mountains! I was born and raised in minnesota then i bounced back and fourth between my parents from bemidji to san diego and now im here. I moved out at age 17 with around $250 when i got to my home town i grabbed and oz of mexican brick weed ground it up stuffed it a plastic bottle grabbed 2 cans of some local 5x refined butane and sprayed it into a pyrex in hot water on a griddle and made some dark amber 100% indica hash oil that made you sleep like a cat for around 8 hours wed smoke it by heating a spoon up on the stove and inhaling through a straw. As i read more information, did more runs, and upgraded my hash lab i began to perfect my run. i got a vacuum pump and would leave my wax in it for days but nothing compared to the live resin i made at the end of the outdoor grow season in 2015. My buddys' parents did what alot of folk did back home did and would germinate the seed stick them behind there garage and come back in 4 months to harvest, but none the less they selected there seeds from a decent source on the internet and sucessfully grew a middle shelf bud. come havest i had my buddy throw all the trim in the freezer as soon as he trimmed it. i came to his house about 2 hours after the plant was chopped because i had to go buy a few utilities, when i showed up he had a decent branch and some popcorn and leaf in the freezer i threw my 20g glass extractor in the freezer along with the 9.9999998% pure n-tane(puretane) and the weed. We let it freeze for around and hour then we packed the ice cold extractor with the frozen nugget and closed the extractor off with 2 25u metal screens and took the extractor tane and warmed up pyrex ouside we blasted 1 frozen can on the first run. Normally when we run its thick and yellow but this just looked like all butane and no oil but started to notice a build up on the side soon after when the tane soup was evaporated i took it inside where we had a fan over our purging system on the stove. I let the oil sit for 45 mins to an hour on the hot water auper thin then I scraped all the practically clear oil into the center and began to whip it after no more than five minutes it turned completely white and was extremely crumbly the following twp runs where the same. it was the best oil ive ever had it tasted super fresh! How is the oil here? haven't heard a word

Welcome brother,you sound like you an oil man, kudos and hope see more of your post, you could be the man the industry here is looking for after things get licensed.
The oil sounds yummy don't see it much here in my part of AK but I do dabble a bit with a hair straighten and parchment and get a few hits from pressing small buds, good stuff for sure gets kind of waxy depending on the strain pressed.
Hang around,and hopefully some more knowledgeable folks will get on and talk shop with you sooner or later.
Peace

Welcome Seth921, do you happen to have experience in "organic" extraction for oils, dabs, or shatter?

Thanks yall i have high hopes hope too meet folk amd get in business asap! I have very little experience with organic methods but you can get full melt dry sift with 73u screen and lemonine is a terpene that works as a solvent and i believe thats organic

Thanks for the link Seth921, I'm looking for a bit more on compound organic extraction methods with dabs and oils. I just can't accept using butane as any for of organic.

I'm looking for something I seen last year in one of the industry generated magazine, where they were making shatter without butane. It looked pretty scientific at the least, and gave true organic shatter. Sadly I misplaced the magazine in an emergency move. The screen system is OK for simple home use. But with the industry getting ready to take off, there's a need for something more then that. Plus....... I have to save my home keif for my "million dollar" idea, and become my own test subject  |

You can use anything that is non polar for your extraction so maybe google organic non polar solvent

Rosin isn't my bag they use heat to press the oils out of bud like body wash from a sponge not only are the yieldes decreased but there is a terpen loss with the heat press and bubble hash i love i just think it to be inferior to solvent extractions

Butane makes most uneasy but i can show you how safe 82nd pure it is as long as you get good tane you're solid and a vacuum pump and awesome as they are, are for impatient people and thoughs (like i) who are anal about the finish 24 hrs on a hot plate at 100° you have shatter. But add a vac pump to the equation just imagine but no butane will surive throught 24 hrs of 100°
