Butane Honey Oil 1st Time Pics!
Sorry I didn't take pics so I could show you the whole process from step one. When I did the extraction I was outdoors with goggles and a face mask on and I really had my hands full with one can of butane in one hand and the Honey Bee in the other. It's really quite simple though and I can explain it pretty quickly. Pictures of the honey oil tube can be found on almost any online headshop. It's nothing fancy looking, I assure you. For the extraction you must have 3g-28g according to the instructions in the Honey Bee(Although 28g didn't entirely fit in the bee - a few grams shy of that I'd say.). The herb must be completely dry. I let my herb sit in a cardboard box for a week or so. Then the herb must be ground into dust. The herb is then loosely inserted into the Honey Bee - the included filter is inserted into the end-cap - then the end cap is screwed on. Next I aquired 2 170gram bottles of triple-refined butane gas - the kind for lighter refills - In addition you get two pyrex dishes. The Bee Tube is held filter side down - One bottle of 'tane is inserted into the tiny hole at the opposite end of the Honey Bee and pressed down, releasing the butane gas thru the tube and washing the resin glands off the plant matter as a liquid through the filter end and then into the pyrex dish. After the butane bottle is empty you wait 30 seconds to remove it, and then repeat the process into the second pyrex dish for a second grade wash with the remaining 170g bottle of 'tane. After all the butane evaporates from the dish you're left with what you see in the pics above. Most people do a better job at popping their bubbles though while all the butane evaporates. Note what I said above - This extraction was done outdoors! Everyone if you're considering doing your own extractions safety first and do your research. I knew what I was doing even though this was my first time because I took the time to learn how to do this effectively and safely. Peace again.
