I've had a little arguement with a friend of mine. He thinks honey oil gets him more stoned than green oil. I think they get you just as stoned, but the difference being green oil has clorophyll and other plant materials in it which is causing it to be green/have a funny taste/be a bit more harsh.

I've never honestly got any more high off honey oil than green oil. The way I see it is you're soaking the bus for 24h in iso to make green oil, thats gotta get just as much THC off as a quick rinse in butane, if not even more. He insists honey oil is twice as strong as green oil, and even says he gets high off of a single hoot of honey oil, which I just can't believe to EVER be true.

Is one more potent than the other? Am I really in the wrong here?



For clarification:

Honey oil - Bud rinsed in butane than air dried out till desired thickness is acheived
Green oil - Bud soaked in iso for 24h than slowly cooked off until desired thickness is achieved

Apparently most of the THC you're going to get out is dissolved pretty quickly in the butane. Letting it soak in iso for ages probably just leads to a lot more plant matter getting into the final product.

If it's green it wouldn't surprise me if it has more plant matter in it and is therefore less potent.
 
Honey oil made properly will test higher than iso made properly. I have not seen iso ever test in the 90's for thc. So honey oil properly extracted will be more potent than proper iso wash. Though I will say there are some iso experts out there who make great iso that tests high. Properly made iso is not green but rather a clear amber color. It is bubble<iso<bho
 
I've only ever smoked 2 different peoples iso oil, one being my first boss and the other being a friend of mine who I taught how to make oil (learned from my boss). Its always been way thicker than any honey oil I've ever seen. Both people it comes out dark green. It tastes kinda funky but 2 hoots and I'm right stoned.

Could it be the thickness that's hindering the potency of the honey oil I have tried? Less adulterants would mean more thick would it not? I can never get a FATTY drop of honey oil on the pin because it always just runs right off. But with the iso oil, I could put a glob 3x as big on the pin.
 
Well properly made iso will taste great, smoke smooth and can look like high quality shatter (bho). Though, I have smoked tons and made tons of every concentrate, I have never seen an iso run test as high as some proper bho.

The texture of the bho will not matter. Although, I will say if you make it correctly it will not come out as a thick hard to work oil. Though, I will also say I have seen thick dark oil like you mention test in the 70's for thc. That is still a high amount of cannabinoids. But, I have also seen other consistencies of oil that test in the high 80's and 90's. Adulterants have nothing to do with thickness. It has to do with technique. Making great oil is not as easy as spraying tane' through an extractor then purging and your done. It certainly is not very hard to make good oil but, takes experimenting to get it right. I would advise you to play around with different temp's, purge times, tane' etc. These are two oils of mine. Sorry, posted this before in another thread but, it is the only pics I have on this computer. This is two different consistencies of bho. This is what you should be shooting for. The second picture is what good quality iso will look like. Though it will come out a little different, it is the closest example. Click on the pic to enlarge it!

Probably, somewhere but not on BL. I don't like to discuss the extraction process. I tend to keep it secret. I will say trial and error until you get it right.... There has been a pretty intense crackdown on oil in areas of california due to explosions (idiots) so I took a big step back. I don't feel comfortable making oil anymore. Manf. a controlled substance is NOT a joke. They treat it like a meth, lsd, mdma or any other "lab". Nit worth it to be honest.
Since, it is very illegal it is best not to be discussed. sorry

There are plenty of info on the internet as well. Be careful, always blow outside.
 
the only honey oil i is a almost clearish brown color where its almost waxy instead of honey
 
I think it is fair to say both get you wasted. Maybe one does do a tad more, but heck the difference is not tangible.
 
Yup! Heavier than air that butane is :-)

I have ran a few small runs a few dozen times but nothing like that crazy looking honey comb appeared :-)

It absolutely is a difference. Have you smoked anything in the 90% thc range? If so you would know it makes ahuge difference compared to lets say 50%
. Most people that don't have experience with it will be drooling and passed out after a few dabs. I have made many friends pass out and they live in the emerald triangle and smoke endless amounts of flowers and bubble.

They just aren't use to taking .2 dabs of 90% thc lol. They both work and iso is great if made right. But, if it's not looking like my second pic chances are thc levels are no more than double a potent flower.
 
most people end up, arms stretched out grasping there pants where there knees are, profusly sweating, coughing deeply for about a minute or two trying to gasp for air after their first dab. ive seen a couple people pass out within the first minute after their first dab of bho.


i got ninja dabbed my first time
(someone put a second dab on the nail when i went to hit it)
 
0.2 dabs are insanely big lol I get budder which is supposed to be 99% thc and out of a gram I get a whole lot of dabs.

You crazy big dabbers :-/)

Srry but 99% thc is all lies lol

Let's just say I am well acquainted with two of the winning cannabis cup oils and makers from the past three years and none were near that. The highest was 92 I believe
If they didn't show you test results than they have zero idea on %. I test all my concentrates and almost all my strains. 60 % is still better than lot's of oil's on the market. The average good oil is 60-90% thc.

heres what some top oils look like in the 80's to low 90's. If you can't post vids mods please delete.
