There are a variety of torches you could use for dabbing. Instead, you need a powerful torch to get the job done right. Be extremely careful, this shit can flash fire boom faster than you think.When you're trying to dab, you simply can't heat your banger with any BIC or other small lighter from the gas station. If you need me to post a easy oil extraction post I can do that too.This is just a version I have used, of many ways to skin a cat. Just stick to iso extracted oil till you buy a vacuum.

The vacuum purge is essential, yes you can do with iso but there is still much leftover residue, so imo the purge is a must have for shatter. “You can’t make chicken salad outta chicken shit.” Sure you can make something alright and smokable using sugar leaves and bad tasting bud, but concentrates is all about bringing out the terpenes for taste and isolating the thc off of the plant for the perfect high. Once this is done your good to smoke and heal your pains. End note…… don’t use nothing but decent product. I’ve only made the shatter and taffy shatter. This handy machine will suck out all the leftover butane and make your product do some funny shapes too.The longer you purge the different end product you get. Use the time on the warming plate to pop any gas bubbles but do not over heat, just warm it up so u can spatula around.Now it’s time for the vacuum purgeĭont cheap out on these, I did and mine didn’t last. It will take a few seconds for product to start coming out the other end but when it does, start evenly distributing the product over the dish.After your done disgard the crap in the bomb and move your dish to a hot plate to warm up so you can scoop onto some parchment paper. Push your butane can into the hole and release into the bomb while holding over top of the floating Pyrex dish. Hold on extremely tight to the top lid and bomb as the pressure is gonna get big, just hold on tight u don’t want it blowing back. Put gloves on as butane gets frosty cold. You can try and get more outta two cans but one is enough. Grind up your product and place into bomb. The big one is filled with hot water but not boiling and the other is placed on top of the water to float One can of butane is enough for one ounce of product. One end is pvc glued on with a 3/32” hole drilled through, this is the end to wrap your filter around the out side and secure on with rubber band,the other end has a hole just big enough to fit your butane, about an 1/8”.I use two Pyrex dishes.

It is a great way to make use of sugar leaf and popcorn buds after your harvest. Final Thoughts on ShatterĪs a percy gorewer, you will be able to experiment and dabble in making extracts. Hold it up to the light and you can all see properly how amber it is. Let the mix sit for half an hour at room temperature and you will have your very own, home made shatter! You can melt all of it into one big piece of glass. The easiest way to do this, is by scraping it up with a razor blade. All you have to do now is collect it from the bottom. This is what you will be left with, a very sticky substance around the base of the tray. The tube specified above, will hold around 28 grams of plant material. The BHO will pass through a coffee filter, leaving the plant material behind, ad only taking resions, terpenes and cannabinoids from the plants. The idea is, to use the BHO to dissolve the cannabinoids from the plant material in the tube. Now you have everything, it is time to start the process. So if you like shatter, and think you may make more of it in the future but a proper tube, you won’t regret it. The glass is stronger, and will have less chance of breaking in your hand. It is recommended that you do use a tube that is built for the task though. You will need to drill a small hole in the bottom, but it will do the job. All you need is a 200mm x 30mm Test tube.

Alternatively, you can make your own tube. You can purchase a BHO extractor tube online.
