Which CAT Homogenizer do you have, and which Generator Shaft; G20 Fine, Normal or Coarse?
Is your BHO Winterized?
- Heat VG to 80C on your hotplate stirrer
- Heat BHO in another vessel so it’s pourable.
- Move the beaker with the heated VG over to the homogenizer, adjust shaft so its about 1/2 " from the bottom of the vessel.
- Adjust the beaker so the shaft is off center so you don’t create a vortex when emulsifying
- Power on the device and pour in the warmed BHO. Emulisfy for about a minute and half.
- Place the beaker back on the hotplate stirrer and heat solution to 80C for 1/2 an hour. (1/2 hour from the time the solution reaches 80C) You’ll notice some BHO falls out of solution in the center of the vessel.
- Homogenize the solution for another minute and a half.
- Reheat the solution to 80C for 1/2 an hour, (1/2 hour from the time the solution reaches 80C) you may still see some BHO fall out of solution.
- Repeat steps 6 & 7- You may have to do this three of four times until you don’t see any BHO fall out of solution.
- There’s no need to filter the solution.
