**Its not even a question, and no one is being rude, this is about your life. Is it worth a dab? **
**I would never use plastic, glass or stainless steel. **
**BHO isnt something to dable with you need to either buy all the right equipment or just stick to rosen, make hash and press rosin hash, but your killing your self with poisins leaching in to your batches. **
**I wouldnt give this to my worst enemy. **
**I have 25 years under my belt and about 15 in extraction. You can get a cheap ablaze blasting tube and fittings with gage for 90 dollars or less and a vaccum to purge for 40 plus a magnetic stiring hotplate for like 50 so its not a lot to spend when you consider its your life. not to mention my Live resin puts dispensaries to shame now with the correct closed loop system and products. I love the try gas mixture but **
**HERE IS MY POINT, WHAT WAS STATED HERE IS TRUE, NO ONE IS BEING MEAN OR UNREASONABLE. pLEASE DONT USE PLASTIC, EVER, WITH HYDROCARBONS, AND NO ITS NOT OK TO USE WITH NYLONS EITHER, THEY LEACH, AND i KNOW THIS, i ALSO WORK IN THE PROPS DEPARTMENT WITH NETFLIX HER IN NM AND EVEN PRINT CARBON FIBER NYLON PIECES, EVEN GLASS BURNOUT PIECES, BUT THOSE ARE PROPS, WE NEVER ALLOW PLASTIC, INCLUDING ANY KIND OF TPU OR ANY OTHER THOUGHTS YOU HAVE TO TOUCH HYDRO CARBONS. YOU WILL STRIP THAT PLASTIC AND END UP WITH PRODUCTS LIKE THIS. I’LL GIVE YOU A POUND AND A GLASS BLASTING TUBE IF YOU THROW THIS OUT! SERIOUSLY THIS IS NO JOKE, the plastic you choose, PVC, is called the poison plastic or plastic of death it has so many carcinogens. **
**I was young and new myself once but you can do more with cold water extractions and cleaning than you can with this garbage and I’m not trying to be rude. You just need the right tools. **
I would go to BVV. com you can get full tanks of gas of your choice but this is when your ready and have your jacketed column and collection chamber and dual vacuum pumps for purging and one for returning your gas mix to the collection unit to be used again.
Until then, take your biomass and put it in a mason jar with dry ice (using caution and gloves of course, use a nice ball jar and use a 50 100 micron screen or filter instead of the lead and screw it on so you can put your ice in your flower or trim and then filter over the top hole then lid holder to fasten your coffee filter, or preferably bubble bags (20 bucks for a set of 10 1 gallon on amazon) they have different size screens that step up to larger and larger. you will shake the jar over a glass or mirror and just keep shaking, you will think its snowing trichomes. This now can be repeated with a larger micron screen for material with more plant material in it but good for edibles and stuff. and the dry ice doesn’t wet your flower (dry because it goes from solid to gas with no liquid) so you can really get mountains of amazing trichomes, now you can take that and press it, or you can put it through a rosin press for some amazing small batch hash rosin, best with live rosin, but anyways even the hash is super potent and absolutely no chemicals and you can still place your material later to get the remainder of what you want out.
Anyways I know this is old but just scary that people use PVC WHICH IS LITERALLY THE PLASTIC OF CANCER AND DEATH.
i HOPE YOU DONT GIVE UP JUST TAKE YOUR TIME AND EVENTUALLY IT WILL COME, AND THE BETTER EQUIPMENT YOU BUY THE BETTER EXPERIENCE YOU WILL HAVE IN THIS AREA, NOT ALWAYS TRUE OF ALL THINGS, BUT HERE IT IS.

PS. MAKE SURE BEFORE YOU PURGE TO DRY YOUR VESSEL SO NOTHING DRIPS WHEN TRANSFERING, OR GET A CLOSED LOOP AND SOME DIAMOND MINES SO YOU CAN JUST FILL THEM AND NOT HAVE TO DO DOUBLE WORK.
