Post your best BHO/CHO (wax, oil and shatter) here

BHO is butane (extracted) hash oil
CHO is carbon dioxide (extracted) hash oil

Sour Diesel "earwax" BHO

Since those are so concentrated would eating them be much better than typical edibles?

[dub]

Funny you ask that, because we use this (and keif) for making edibles and tinctures.

You avoid using all the plant material.
You don't have to de-carboxolize the material.
And it is more accurate to use in recipes because regardless of the strains used the end product is always 70%+ cannabinoids (if the starting material is relatively good frosty trim)

Much beter to smoke though

Where I find some? Legally

Unfortunately even in medical marijuana states, extracts like hash oil are still technically Schedule 1... meaning they are illegal.

Many clubs refuse to carry extracts (hash, keif, wax) because of the legal "grey area"

Other don't seem to care.

I was gonna make some hash with my trim and some edibles too.Cant wait man

Got like 30 days to go

HOLY SHIT! Man that is huge.

OG Kush "BHO"

That shit would last me a fucking DECADE.... 

[D3Dman]

Man. I wouldn't mind a brick like that.

White OG Kush (White Triangle Kush x OG Kush) BHO

It looks all whipped up and funny because it just came out of the Vacuum Dryer (a machine that completely purges the material of all the butane, while slowly decarboxylating it as well)

My buddy runs a company called "Dunkin Dabbers" that makes BHO for the clubs. I just snapped the pic because I was like "whoa, that shit looks crazy!"

Technically, any nonpolar solvent would work well for this, including pentane or hexane and would be a lot safer to use than butane, especially if one has access to some form of vacuum source to remove any residual solvent from the extracts.
 
I would think any solvent with a low chlorophyll solubility would be useful for this endeavor.

Ngls, I totally agree.

I have tried to tell him this, but he doesn't want to listen.

The industry (Hash oil makers) all use the Vector 7x (7 times filtered) butane. They all buy it by the master case (12 boxes of 12 cans each).

Some people use carbon dioxide, but the machines are extremely expensive ($20,000)

Not sure why they all use propane, but they ALL DO. I think they are just afraid to try something different   

I really only like smoking my buddies wax because he is one of the few people that has a vacuum oven, so I know his oil is clean

Yes, a vacium bell or a vacuum oven would make almost anything work.  For budding extractors (small pun there) don't use anything as a solvent with a hydroxyl group (+OH) attached as you will get a lot of the plant waxes and chlorophyl along with your precious actives.  Solvents to avoid in this situation would be alcohols, acetone, xylene, MEK etc.  Some terpenes are ok, some are not (isoprene, limonene ok).  The advantage of the simple alkanes are their vapor pressure and high evaporation rates, and their availability.
 
If this was commercial production, supercritical fluid extraction with carbon dioxide would be ideal.  Maybe it will come to that.
