Thread starter bertaluchi Start date Nov 7, Just want to know if anyone has ever just downed some bho strait? Not without decarbing Shatter has been considered by some to be the highest-tier extract.
To get BHO in the consistency of shatter, the material must be placed in a vacuum oven for a long period at a low-heat setting. The oven should be about 98 degrees Fahrenheit, or about Extractors typically flip the slabs over at least once during this time.
By the time extractors reach this stage, there are only traces of butane left in the final product. Crumble can be made by whipping the BHO under the presence of a heated surface or when the BHO solution is placed in the vacuum oven between and degrees Fahrenheit, or 43 and 57 degrees Celsius, for 24 to 72 hours. Badder requires higher temperatures and agitation. The slab is placed in a vacuum oven at to degrees Fahrenheit, or about 46 to 60 degrees Celsius, and the solution whipped after it has been removed from the vacuum oven.
For this one, 10 to 15 percent of the initial butane used to make the extract is left in the solution and stored in a pressurized vessel to allow the cannabinoids to start forming into small crystals.
The heat and pressure applied can vary greatly among technicians. Butane hash oil is hardly the first marijuana extract. Civilizations around the globe have been separating resin glands and trichomes from marijuana plants for thousands of years. By CE, hashish had spread throughout Arabia. Introducing an extraction solvent was a new innovation documented in D. Gold's publication, Cannabis Alchemy: The Art of Modern Hashmaking , which was the first time this procedure was explained for the general public.
Gold's book supplied a how-to for homemade solvent-based extracts, as well as their mass production. However, at that time, butane wasn't used as a solvent. That would happen later, in the s. The Vaults of Erowid, or www. The website contains in-depth information on drugs from LSD to cannabis. What Gurung didn't foresee was the onslaught of accidents that followed the publication of his dangerous procedure.
As amateurs attempted to create BHO concentrates in their homes, they would expose butane fumes to the environment of their makeshift lab, often causing explosions leading to serious or fatal injuries.
In addition to being extremely dangerous, homemade apparatus are also much less efficient. Even though open-ended systems can be assembled with relative ease, in the long run they're more expensive than a closed-loop system.
It would take 80 standard-size canisters of butane to extract compounds out of 5 pounds of plant material, as opposed to the 32 canisters it would take in a closed-loop setup. Cost aside, open blasting is extremely dangerous and without the correct equipment, a recipe for an explosion. When these extracts made it to market, consumers had no idea what they were getting due to uneven consistency.
These oils were surrounded in mystery and full of contaminants, especially residual butane. BHO continued to evolve, and soon extractors began using the appropriate equipment to prevent butane fumes from interacting with the environment.
Closed-loop extraction changed the game for BHO. More cannabis companies outfitted their facilities with these types of machines, and today most legislators have made closed-loop production a requirement for licensed cannabis manufacturers. Shatter is one of several consistencies that BHO may take.
Crumble, badder, and sauce are some others. Shatter is BHO only if it was produced through an extracting technique that used butane as the primary solvent, as opposed to CO2 or any other commonly used solvents.
Any type of extract — shatter as well as others like wax, badder, and sauce — is considered BHO if it was produced using this technique. A process that uses butane to strip cannabinoids, terpenes, and other cannabis compounds out of cannabis plant material. The plant matter is then removed, and the butane is purged, leaving behind a final substance containing high concentrations of cannabinoids and terpenes. Crude refers to unrefined cannabis extract, or the oil produced from the initial extraction procedure.
From there, the oil is either winterized for further refinement or decarboxylated and infused into products such as edibles, creams, and tinctures. Wax is one of several consistencies that BHO extraction can render, but there are also many other types of concentrates made from BHO.

The main focus of this article is to provide you with information about this cannabis product so you can take full advantage of consuming recreational or medical marijuana in a whole new way.
And for seasoned marijuana consumers who have visited their fair share of dispensaries, this article will help you differentiate between the types of cannabis concentrates even better. Cannabis concentrates are products made by processing the cannabis plant, so only the most desirable compounds like cannabinoids and terpenes are kept, and excess plant materials are removed.
Compared to the natural cannabis flower, the proportion of cannabinoids and terpenes is much higher in concentrates. The high can last anywhere between 1 to 3 hours, depending on the person and their tolerance level. Most commonly, cannabis concentrates are used on their own in a vaporizer or a dab rig dabbing has become one of the most popular consumption methods.
However, they can also be used together with the cannabis flower, by sprinkling kief on top of your joint, or adding a few drops of cannabis concentrate to your flower. The main difference between concentrates and extracts is how the trichomes are collected, therefore all extracts are concentrates, but not all concentrates are extracts. Extracts are created by using solvents like alcohol and carbon dioxide that wash the trichomes off the cannabis plant, while concentrates use mechanical or physical ways to remove trichomes.
Concentrates are made by physically removing the trichome glands by shaking or pressing. The most popular examples of concentrates include rosin, dry sift, and kief. Extracts are made by using a liquid solvent to separate the active compounds from the trichomes, and the solution is refined until the desired cannabinoid consistency is achieved.
Different concentrate textures are achieved with additional steps done before and after the extraction process. Shatter is golden-yellow to bright-yellow in color with a glass-like texture. Shatter is created using solvent extraction methods and is consumed by vaporizing with a dab rig and inhaling the smoke.
Badder and Budder have a sun-yellow or bright-orange glossy coloring with a butter-like consistency that makes them oilier and softer. These textures can be spread on joints and blunts or dabbed with a dab rig. Crumble has a honeycomb consistency with colors similar to those of budder or badder and a matted shade of yellow.
THC crumble is made by whipping shatter, and then purging it in an oven at low temperatures in order to dry the concentrate. Distillation enables the separation of cannabinoids based on their boiling points and is done by exposing decarboxylated extracts to heat and vacuum. Marijuana concentrates can be consumed in various ways, from adding them to a joint for increased potency, to using a dab rig or vape pen.
