Honey oil

den · Post by **den** » Thu 8th Jun 2006 06:17 pm

I know i was told by another member not 2 buy 1 but i did. A honey bee extractor. For those of you who do not know wot said item is , here goes.
It is a small plastic tube around 6 inches long with 1 hole 4mm wide on 1 end and 4 holes 2mm wide on the other. this end is a screwable lid.
The idea is you get a can of butane gas and basically spray it in the end with 1 hole. I forgot 2 mention you get a few small coffee filter type peices of paper 2 put in the cap end. Anyway a small amount of liquid filters through these holes onto a mirror . this is your oil. DO NOT TRY AND SMOKE THIS YET. Let the liquid evaporate over night and in the morning hopefully you got some real nice honey oil.

I've ground up a half ounce of nice NL5 real sticky to the touch but bone dry plus around 3 grams of White widow and 2 grams of Blueberry and around a gram of keif from my grinder. I need to wait till prying eyes are sleeping then its off out the back garden with all my utensils.
If all goes to plan i should maybe end up with around 3 grms of honey oil i think, well i hope .

Peace.

You did what now?

That's about as clear as mud matey.

If I get this straight your mixing your high quality herb, more than a few great strains, with some filtered butane.

Sounds like a recipe for wasting good herb.

What makes it Honey?

If it doesn't make you sick I reckon it's a quick way to make your wallet empty... sorry for being so negative but it does sound like a crock of shit to me.

DrGonzo it aint a crock mate, I looked into them ages ago just never bothered in the end seeing that I dont get quality herb very much, here's a link that explains the process a little better: http://cannabisculture.com/articles/3083.html

Now that makes a little more sense.

But still it's not aimed at primo bud is it?

Grinding that sort of stash down to make a small amount of what is just strong hash doesn't seem worth it.

Now if you use "Shake" or the top leaves from your plant I can see it being a fairly cost effective way of getting a great buzz.

However, for the amature, in none lab conditions you may just end up with 3rd degree burns or a lung full of solvent.

Nah, still seems a waist to me.

i use the tech to make something worthwhile out of the mexican shitweed i can get here.

When you do use quality herb you get AMAZINGLY strong oil. The oil from good herb is of a honey color and consistency (mine is usually much more crystalline and hard).

Definitely not for the amatuers!
Before careful!!

edit: Also again, the problem with the 'Honey Bee' or any other plastic, PVC type extractor tube is that the butane WILL leech chemicals out of the plastic over time....I do not want to be smoking those chemicals.

cant beleive i just put all but 4 joints worth of my stash in that honey oil extractor god damn it i should have put it all in. The oil i have sitting in front of me looks just like it says on the tin. HONEY, My word this shit is good. I know i should really have waited till 2moro but i could'nt. 1 joint shared with a mate and a hit of a bong and im absolutely wasted.

I got a little over 3 grams i would estimate. I only done 1 wash and used calibri of london impurity free butane £1.09 a tin. After wot little i've smoked i'm already planning doing another batch 2moro. I dont think im gonna smoke much more 2nite, maybe 1 more joint. I cant beleive how strong this stuff is WOW.

Peace.

once you can't see anymore liquid, its about 95% purged (rid of butane). If you let it sit out overnight the other 5% should evap., you could also speed this be placing your collection dish over a pot of boiling water for 15-20 minutes...it also help to kinda gently mix/stir the oil (this will allow trapped pockets of butane to escape).

With the herb you mentioned you used there is definitely enough THC to warrant at least two big cans of butane.

If you really wanna get crazy, you could take your herb and just barely break it up then do a wash on that. Then break it up completely and do another wash. The first wash should be a complete mindfuck of a smoke, doesn't get much closer to pure THC than properly purged-first-wash-whole-nug-honey-oil!!

Second run completed with the bee and my word i got some even more potent oil than the first run. This time i used 3 tins of calibri butane gas to 21.5 grams of loose shake and a bit of bud. I got around 3 grams . Aint weighed it yet. Some of the oil is of a honey consistincy where the rest is quite crystaline in look and texture. eg brittle and hard. still extra extra strong though. Anyone out there wanna coment on this as i would like feed back. compared 2 my first attempt i got around half a gram more using around the same amount of weed. After each can had dispersed its contents i shook the bee vigorously to mix it ready for the next can. Of course all the weed was shaken over a screen before the process began. I will be mixing my keif that i have with the runnier oil 2 make some jelly hash. I reckon i should have enough keif in a week 2 make a good marble sized lump by the looks of it.

Peace.

I have made the honey oil a few times and nothig compares to thick oil vapor,

I smoke mine out of a glass vapo pipe, I like Mazdog have had to make the best of the Mexican brick/trash weed, and you can get potent oil from junk weed, I personally didnt use a Honeybee, I just went to Lowes and made my own, I also dont use any filters I do get a little blow through but it is just weed. I usually scrape all the oil off the plate and onto a knife until I put it on a small mirror and put it in the freezer, you can chip it away when it is frozen, I find it very helpful because of the pain in the ass it can become while gooey. How do you roll it in a joint, did you spray it on the weed? Soma makes jelly by spraying oil/butane mixture over kif. I love hash oil so I had to comment on this

I got a small lock knife. the blade is around an inch and a half long which i heat up and slice small bits off my hardened oil. Around the size of a match head. put about 3 of these on different parts of the joint. heat the knife up again and spread like butter along the middle of your joint. add the rest of your mix and roll.

Peace.

good thinking man, its hard to smoke in a glass pipe because it can drip through. I thought of another way also, take a piece of oil and put it in the tip of a joint and fire down directly onto the oil, it should met right into the joint and evenly smoke back. If you try this let m know how it goes. I dont really have enough product anymore on a regular basis to make oil all the time, I was getting warm, if you know what I mean
