How to choose a butane canister for BHO

Post by GMO »

Hi folks

I've been doing my best to dig up good and solid info to post here for you all as gas quality can be a major concern for anything destined to be inhaled

So what I can provide for you is a a few points to hopefully make your decision easier

The general census in regard to gas quality is why spare the expense when it's so cheap in the first place? But what do we really know about the gas quality and where is comes from. Chemicals are available is grades of class, these span a range but our focus is on the highest purities; food grade and lab/pharmaceutical grade is where we aim as extractionists

So why not go and order R290 or a R290+R600 blend? Well some of us simply don't have access or storage space or (most of the time) even a want for 5l plus of liquid refrigerant just sat around the place

So that leaves us with the option of light gas refill canister which have a reputation for using paraffin wax to get a consistent burn... BUT not all

So the standard is Newport butane gas which is produced by Keen Newport in the UK. And has become the staple of many extractionists arsenal due to the fact it has "near zero impurities", which they proudly stamp on all of their cans. This company as one of the largest butane companies in the UK therefore offers canisters which can be labelled for different companies distribution

Now the companies using this service may well change so I will not assure a single brand but I will say, there is an obvious similarity that we can take advantage of

I'm sure there are others which are more than acceptable and are also likely produced by Keen Newport such as colibri, london gas etc

This is about the only time you'll see this on the forum anywhere.... "READ THE BOTTLE"

Hopefully this helps people out in some way shape or form

Newport gas is the most common used in extraction
it is then distilled as when it is moved into the other tank in the cls
when u safely remove the lid after it has been put in the other tank there is a mystery oil/residue left over from the gas
No one seems to know what it is
If you are open blasting this oil is still in the end product

Very good point, i saw this mentioned several times while digging but have no hands on experience with Closed loop systems

is the distillation you mentioned to remove the mystery substance?

Yeh it basically removes any heavier components in the gas but being liquid in a cold trap then exiting as vapour leaving behind the stuff u don’t want eg the mystery oil

So could one of you provide a detailed guide or a link to where I can see how to remove that oily left over please.

Most of us do not have access to a closed system.
you will not be able to distill the mystery oil without the correct equipment.

very good point.

i hope to start covering the subject of purging in a separate thread

im under the impression you can get a complete (or as acceptably complete as the community allows) purge using a low temp oven but at the expense of the low boiling point terps??
