BHO DMT?!!!? Can Butane be used as a solvent in DMT extraction?

[downwardsfromzero]

You say you don't need an oven to remove acetone, but that is not my experience with THC. I have left an extract to sit for months and it still tasted of acetone, in the end i baked it on like 350 for at least 30 mins and made an edible. Do Not extract THC with acetone. Iso hash blows too, always leaves a flavor. Only use Ethanol or butane, unless you have access to non sulfur contaminated propane, or super critical CO2.

This is going a bit off-topic, but I might as well put this here.

THC can be extracted with acetone. Acetone pulls less chlorophyll than ethanol so it can be favourable if a 'cleaner' extract is desired.

There's a trick to it though, and it's best done with proper labware.

The main thing is to avoid evaporating down to a solid from the acetone. This can be achieved by a simple solvent transfer technique. Allow the acetone THC extract to drip into a flask of simmering ethanol, which is the boiling flask of a fractional distillation set-up. The acetone will distil off to be collected for re-use. In the boiling flask remains a solution of THC in ethanol - which, incidentally, can be dripped into hot glycerin (with good stirring) in the same distillation set-up to make an alcohol-free THC glycerite.

----------------------------------------------------

As far as using butane (alone) to extract DMT goes, unless the butane is used under high pressure - thereby allowing a higher operating temperature - the DMT will be of too low a solubility for this solvent to be worthwhile. Remember, DMT is practically insoluble in ice cold naphtha, and less soluble in lower MW alkanes. It would be necessary to use warm (~40°C) liquid butane inside a pressurised extraction vessel to make it worthwhile. Or, as mentioned above, pre-soaking the based plant material in a heptane or naphtha entrainer.

Just stick to Cyb's with naphtha, unless you have the apparatus already.

I have extracted some high quality dabs with cold acetone, though washing it for more than a few seconds will pull alot of green. A few times I've gotten pure white crumble this way.
