This [[preparation]] is for the extraction of hash oil from [[cannabis]] using liquid butane (commonly referred to as ''B.H.O''). The aim of this extraction guide is to provide a simple and straight-forward procedure for the home user to produce a personal amount of ~~reasonable grade~~ hash oil. This tek does however require the use of more advanced equipment such as a vacuum pump.

This [[preparation]] is for the extraction of hash oil from [[cannabis]] using liquid butane (commonly referred to as ''B.H.O''). The aim of this extraction guide is to provide a simple and straight-forward procedure for the home user to produce a personal amount of high quality hash oil. This tek does however require the use of more advanced equipment such as a vacuum pump.

==Equipment==

* '''Ground [[cannabis]]''' - You can make batches with as little material as you like although it is recommended that at least a half ounce be used for technical and economical reasons. The yield is highly strain dependent but one can typically expect the end product to come out to around 15% by weight.

* '''Filtered butane''' - Butane is available in a variety of grades dependent on how many times it has been filtered. Generally speaking, the more times filtered, the better, but at a certain point filtering something more times isn't going to make ~~much~~ difference so be mindful of diminishing returns! There's also n-butane and other blended gas solvents of various kinds. These are typically much more expensive but are thought to increase the quality of the end product.

* '''Filtered butane''' - Butane is available in a variety of grades dependent on how many times it has been filtered. Generally speaking, the more times it has been filtered, the better, but at a certain point filtering something more times isn't going to make a qualitative difference so be mindful of diminishing returns! There's also n-butane and other blended gas solvents of various kinds. These are typically much more expensive but are thought to increase the quality of the end product.

* '''Extraction tube''' - Thick glass is highly recommended although plastic and other types will work reasonably well.

* '''Vacuum chamber and pump''' - A single stage pump is fine. Be wary of shorter chambers as the oil might bubble high enough to touch the lid.
