right then the list of stuff i used:
trim or pop corn or bud, up to you just remember, fire in fire out lol
butane gas, i use newport as its meant to be one of the best for extracting, one thing i did read and have done is when using tane spray a little onto a mirror or piece of glass and when the tane has evaporated have a look to see if theres anything left on the surface, if theres is these are contaminants within the tane itself !
like i say, newport seems good enough for me !

a blast tube, NOT A PLASTIC ONE ! I've got 2 different borosilicate tubes (glass) i got an once tube and a 2 oz tube, this is important to know i think as you wanna know how much material your blasting, similar to iso extraction where if you soak too long you get unwanted stuff, if you blast too much tane thru the material you will be pulling waxes, lipids, undesirable from it, this is stuff you don't want ! unless cloudy waxy toffee like extract is what your after ? SO AS A RULE OF THUMB I BLAST ONE CAN OF TANE PER OZ OF MATERIAL, just too put this theory to the test in this guide i done a can per oz then ran another can per oz into a separate dish just to see !

you will need a screen of some kind to cover the blast tube, you can use coffee filter paper as lots of people do, it might even hold the waxes you don't want back as they do go pretty fine, i then found out by using coffee filter paper you are stopping the deterpines that carry anti inflammatory properties from passing, so i found some 50 micron rated metal screens, same peeps who make the blast tubes too ! you can get different sizes but this is all the shop had !

a pyrex dish, preferably something rectangular in shape and not with round edges ? why ? fuck knows ? tis just what tinterweb says lol remember not to blast onto silicone pads or parchment paper, a pyrex dish works not only fine but the best imo ! if you blast onto/into silicone it will more likely distort in shape and this just shows its not a good look !
a heating element of some kind, i use a plug in hot plate i got from outdoors go (lol) only cost a score too (£20)

you will need one of these, if not then your extracts could be way better with one, accurate temps is a must here and this is the tool for the job ! digital infrared thermometer

so you can't blast onto parchment or silicone and your gonna be pouring butane mixed goodies out the pyrex onto what i wonder ?
heres what, and its the ab-so-lute bollocks imho, PTFE ROLL yes ptfe roll, its hella expensive tho like a paul mckenna £10 for a metre long 30cm wide roll ! i say roll its more like a piece lol and yes again tis the same folk who make the blast tubes and screens who make it ! theres a silicone company goo no (lol no free adverts here) who also make a ptfe roll

i used a wall paper like scraper to scrape any left overs, bearing in mind you want as little adjatation as possible, to make as shatter as possible
finally as i tagged and titled vac purged you will need a vacuum pump and degassing chamber.
you can get these on the bay all in like vac pump chamber and heat element for around £300, not me tho ! i kopped one without heat element (digital adjusted heat pad) for £100, i thought i paid £80 then remembered i owed chesney a score still, so around a swift ton
when it comes to vacuum pumps you only want a single stage vac pump, 2.5cfm, and get some vacuum pump oil for it too if it doesn't come with any, this is a must, keep you vac pump in oil at all times only half way full tho
