Lets make Hexane Hash!! **COMPLETED**

If you like smoking honey oil but hate dealing with butane, then this method might work out for you! It's relatively cheap, all materials can be found at local retailers, and it leaves you with a product that's just as good (or better) then butane extracted oil!

Materials Needed:

1 Mason jar (the more trim/buds you use the bigger the jar)
No Residue Electrical Contact Cleaner
Coffee Filters or Filter Paper
Glass Baking Pan or Glass Bowl

This is the electrical contact cleaner i used. This is not the best brand! Be warned! This product contains some ethanol which WILL LEACH OUT SOME CHLOROPHYLL!! However, if you don't want to take the time to order this, you can pick up the QD cleaner at home depot or lowes (i think ace hardware has it as well) for 8$. If you have a chemical supply store in your town you can always call and see if they stock it. It's not illegal, requires no permits, and is not a watched chemical. Just dress nice, pay in cash, and you should be fine.

Put the red straw in the nozzle, take your jar (i used a quart jar), and then press the straw against the side of the glass. Spray the hexane into the jar until the can is empty. Note: this sucks! Takes about 2-3 mins to empty one can, your finger will get a bit tired holding the damn nozzle down. One can gave me a little under a pint, which ended up being a little more then i needed for the trim i have. I suggest filling the jar you want to use with your trim first to get a good look at how much hexane you will need. If you want you can use two jars and empty the hexane in one and then pour it over the trim in the other jar. This would probably work best for larger extractions.

EDIT: A pint of hexane may seem small, but it's more then enough to handle a quart jar full of trim. As long as you don't try and cram a 1/4 lb of trim into the jar, one can of cleaner is more then enough. Once you start shaking and soak the material, it will settle down a bit and that full jar might settle to about a 1/4 of a jar. Either way, as long as there's a way for the hexane to swirl and come in contact with the trim, you'll get a nice efficient pull.

This is the jar with one can emptied into it. Once in the mason jar, dont seal the lid right away, make sure all the tetrafluoroethane has evaporated before sealing the lid tight. (try sealing the lid tight, shaking violently, release the pressure built up and repeat until there is no pressure release after the shaking)

Once your jar is filled with hexane, take your trim/bud and toss it in. Can't tell you how much i used because i didn't weigh it. But the old rule still applies, the more you put in the more you get out. Hexane is like butane in the sense that it will leave you with a very pure product. So, your final yields will be small compared to something like a water extraction or an ISO extraction. Also note that if you do use the QD cleaner the final product will not be as pure because of the chlorophyll. It will produce a black oil instead of the light, tan/brown oil.

Now i have to let the jar sit for 8-12 hours. I put the trim in around 2:30 so 10:30 my time i'll post back with the rest of the pics. Hopefully i'll have it evaporated tonight so i can get a pic of the oil.

(I changed this up a bit, see the final post in the tek)
