Easier to handle. I use the BHO method using 7x refined Butane. I DON'T use PVC or bleached coffee filters, but I am unsure of how long to purge it for and what is the best method of purging, warm or hot water or just letting it go on its own. I've seen a few different methods. I have made my own but it seems to be more waxy than I want. Also, its darker than I expected. I was told I ground my shake too fine. Is a more coarse trim ideal for lighter color?
