How to make ShatterĪs we already know, the extract final texture will depend on both the extraction process and the processed plant. We present you here an extraction made with the new Herborizer Mini Closed Loop System, a passive BHO extraction system that enables us to get the best butane concentrates safely and easily. The end result will depend on both the extraction method and the post-processing operation, and the resin itself. On the other hand, some plants produce a translucent and solid BHO called Shatter, which is very difficult to obtain with a more molten texture. Sometimes, it's practically impossible to make Shatter from certain plants, since due to the trichomes content, the BHO resulting could be rather molten. Nevertheless, there is another crucial factor: the resin itself. However, as we’ve previously mentioned, you can change the final texture through different variations of the purging process, like whipping the mixture during the purge or performing it without heat. The result is often a translucent concentrate of a colour ranging from yellow to amber, depending on whether the processed plant material was dry or fresh (the latter will create an extract of a lighter colour and higher terpene content).
Once you have a mixture of liquid butane and trichomes content, the next step is to purge (remove) the solvent from the mix, something that’s usually done through a vacuum purge with heat, which nowadays is performed in modern digital vacuum ovens. Let's see exactly what it is and how to make it.īHO (Butane Honey Oil or Butane Hash Oil) is a cannabis resin concentrate of great purity that uses apolar solvents (in fact, of very low polarity) to dilute the trichomes content in this case, refined butane gas. Modifying these parameters will give different results known as Wax, Sap, Crumble, or the one we’re dealing with today, Shatter. Nevertheless, thanks to this butane extraction process, it’s possible to achieve different textures by changing certain parameters during the purge, like temperature or product agitation.
Thanks to modern extraction techniques and equipment, and the surfacing of high-quality ultra-refined butane brands, this type of concentrates became especially popular a few years ago, since apart from allowing you to process a large amount of plant material in a short time, the final result offers an amazing quality and purity, particularly when compared with the concentrates prior to the appearance of BHO (Butane Hash Oil). Without a doubt, BHO is one of the most popular resin extractions of the last decade.
