Any comments on this?
From Personal Experience I Find it The Other Way Around.
From Pure Butane with No Additives or impurities I Find All of The Butanes Evaporates off very well and leaves a very clean pure and potent product.It's Also easier than using alcohol as your solvent.
I Find When Honey Oil is Butane Extracted it's Exactly that,Amber Coloured Honey like Cannabis Extract.If Done Well and properly The Oil should taste like Kif/Crystals when smoked and feel the same in your lungs.
Now the Oil I Have Seen made with alcohol on the other hand....
First of all it's harder to use as a solvent in the extraction process because you have to keep it very cold.It Also Takes alot Longer To Evaporate then Butane and I Find Most Alcohol extracted concentrates still have traces of unevaporated alcohol.The texture is Much different.It's usually Very sticky and thick...not really a liquid,something you can ball with your hands.For example:If you had a jar of BHO you could dip the pin in the liquid pull it out and spread it on a paper.Mayber you might need to add a little heat such as flame.But if you had a Jar of Alcohol extracted oil you would have to heat the Pin to stick it into the sticky tar like subtance,and heat it a gain to spread on a paper,once on the paper it cools and becomes tar like again,unlike The BHO wich would stay liquid.As For The Taste,You can taste the alcohol in the oil,like it caramelizes as you burn it and your inhaling burnt sugars....I Definitely Prefer Butane Extracted Oil To Alcohol Extracted oil But hey thats just me:jointsmile:
And please don't take this as fact,This is just from My own personal experience in making Butane Honey Oil and Watching Many others make Aclcohol Extracted Oil.

Have A Good Day:stoned:
