<span style="color:red>'''It should be noted that performing a B.H.O. extraction in a "well-ventilated area" does not eliminate the flammability and explosion hazard associated with the process, it only lowers this risk. It is ''always'' safer to do outdoors (provided one take the proper precautions, however, such as acquiring a fire extinguisher and related safety materials in advance).'''</span> | <span style="color:red>'''It should be noted that performing a B.H.O. extraction in a "well-ventilated area" does not eliminate the flammability and explosion hazard associated with the process, it only lowers this risk.

When a gas expands it takes in heat from the atmosphere. When the liquid butane travels through the extraction tube, it expands as a gas and greatly reduces the temperature of the glass extraction tube. '''It is imperative to wear cold resistant safety gloves or handle the extraction tube with a tong apparatus to avoid contact with freezing temperatures that may cause harm.''' | |||
