im gonna end up doin both probably but def still interested in bho extraction
you cant do bho for that price. you need a safe closed loop setup (500$+), an explosion proof extraction fan (100$+), rental for a butane storage canister and medical grade butane from a gas place (200?$), an area with drop floors incase of gas leaks OR and outdoor area with sparkless fans. youre also gonna need a vaccum chamber or oven with a vac pump (200$+) and thats going with the cheapest gear possible which means higher chance of shitty seals and pumps etc.
for that price you can buy a set of 8 5gallon bubblehash bags, top quality, lifetime warranty with no questions asked. this is way safer, puts out a better quality product (if you dont grow like shit) and you dont ever have to think about explosions or dying with this
OR if you dont like the thought of water and ice on your buds than drysifting is my absolute favorite way of extracting ever!

Got any sources I can check out on dry sifting screens @lotus710? Been interested in getting into dry sifting… Also wanna learn to make old school hash like the Afghans and stuff.
@harveest check out “glass bho extraction tubes”
You’re looking for ones like the one on this site, these you use with just a small butane refilling bottle, still need a screen or two for each tube and clamps for the screens, need the vacuum to suck out excess butane for a day or two, electric hotplate boils butane (butane boils at a ridiculously low temperature) and some pyrex and what not to catch what comes out so you can vacuum it and everything but it’d be far cheaper than a closed loop system.

Have you used one of these? looks pretty tempting, of course when I have the money
could you give me a list of everything I’d need? Thanks for the help seriously. I was reading about the glass tubes and how good they are etc.

Back in the day it was just open blasting outside, wait for it to dry, and purging over a pot of boiling water. Man have things changed 
. Thought we had it made with the stainless steel pipe and tripod stand, it was the “best” bho extractor on the market at the time, while others were pvc/plastic

The big problem with using lighter fluid (cans of butane) as your solvent is that it has lubricants in it to keep your torch going. Lubricants don’t evaporate away so they end up in your end product, also mercaptan can be a problem if not properly purged (the smell the add to odorless gases)
ethanol is a good substitute! and readily available most places.

Works well enough if you’re just trying to make shatter but it’s not as clean as something done in a closed loop with a legit vacuum oven. Best bet is to grow more weed and save enough trim for a big ole bubble run then press your bubble in a rosin press.
