Under-doing it at this stage is better than over-doing it. At this stage, you are looking for large bubbles to surface. I put the BHO im a food dehydrator at 115 degrees for 30 minutes minimum. At this point, I transfer the BHO to parchement paper. My hot water bath (for recovery) is set at 90-95 degrees (depending on ambient temperature).

I let my solvent tank (100% butane isomers) sit in a dry ice/iso mix for 20-30 minutes before starting my runs. I run a CLS, using passive recovery, and no dewaxing for this product. With that being said, I have shops that request this product and so I deliver. I want to start with stating that this tek is not passable by any tests and is far from the healthiest choice. Perhaps you could elaborate on your system a little? Those are just a good idea from a finished product stand point (and probably not necessary for budder). There is no requirement for a cold product column, or cold extraction solvent to start. Not that I’m recommending leaving your waxes in there, but I’m not sure I understand why you can’t leave them in there with your setup.įor passive recovery, you need a warm receiver, and a cold solvent tank to drive solvent from the receiver to the solvent tank. If it were me, I’d only whip a gram of the customers stuff too, until they had actually sampled both styles… but I don’t have quite the tact others do. it can absolutely be done on finished product. I would grab some extract produced per your SOP, then play with whipping a gram or 5 to get a feel for how it’s going to work. Way easier than delivering shatter for strains that just don’t wanna go there for you. If the customer wants it, it should certainly be achievable. Many folks with appropriate equipment do have problems with strains that spontaneously butter or sugar, and it certainly makes sense to get ahead of those strains and initiate the buttering deliberately by whipping. I would certainly agree that retained waxes are more common in “labs” lacking vacuum ovens. As such it’s not a method I’ve bothered exploring, so I can’t confirm that leaving the waxes it is strictly speaking necessary. Good for you for going passive too.Īt the risk pissing some folks off, I’m going to state that whipping is essentially ghetto tek that was developed to achieve better solvent removal without the aid of vac ovens.

Your understanding of the tek seems on point from my reading.
