So what makes you guys decide on doing a bho or a bubble bag extraction? You guys dab bubble bag hash? I was doing co2 extractions long before I dabbed. I swore by dragging a zag along the oil was the way to go and ultimately had a glass adapter so the joint wouldn't bleed this fat streak of oil on your lip, power crutch that can be smoked later, and to prevent it from closing at the end from its super resinous joint wanting to self extinguish. Once dabbing, smoking weed seemed like a noval effort if one is looking to get blasted. Flower smokers often not look for the high we do, and all those out there not knowing the difference between co2 and bho is like the difference between stress and kush. I know a lot of stress smokers gonna get pissed off right about now. But they really don't know, gee!

a little something i made out of some trim that could have been considered bud. 10g in .5 or a little more out. used ISO. some good stuff was super smooth and tasted good.

Am I the only one that doesn't really care for hash that much? It's not terrible, but it doesn't get me lifted like oil does.
I'd take oil over hash any day, all day, every day... lol

how many kinds of full melt clear dome ice hash have you tried?? strains matter a lot.
I have like 5 strains in ice wax, some are really nice, they all give me a good buzz, but one of them really knocks me the fuck out leaves me sittin there like durrrrr so idk, oil will be more potent but there is pros and cons, natural intact trichome vs an oil that requires some serious treatment before it can be considered truly safe for long term consumption.

In keeping things as organic for my patients and myself, I can no longer really back a solvent extract...my ice waxes have been coming out soooo ridicules that people are surprised it isn't bho!! The natural terp preservation is unlike anything in the world for me!! The true depiction of the flowers, with no butane bath is a win!!
Quality starting material, fresh frozen, wash at as close to 31 degrees as possible, dry in cool area, surface area is your friend!!

i concur
so whats the best yields with using flwoers top shelf on the ice wax? like if you use a qp of flowers, what would ice wax yield be?

Hash? You mean bubble hash? It goes for anywhere between $15 and $50 a gram depending on quality and where you get it.hell ya love the oil but its too messy for me
got some bubble bags today to start playing with. cant wait to have some hash.
i hear hash is pretty expensive to buy, i personally have never seen it for sale. whats good quality hash go for these days???
You can budder up your oil and it makes it much more manageable. I can just pinch a tiny dab off like silly putty, and it never sticky to my fingers. Yummy.

We decided to move up from a kief tumbler to BHO extraction, as our sugar leafs are soooo crystally. ... ordered the Okief extraction tube, dessicator, vacuum pump, heat gun.. etc.
Our first batch we used the screen that shipped with the Okief. Even after 10 pulls, it seemed pretty cloudy still
Of course, had lots of learning curve... knocking off the vacuum hose and blowing the parchment paper all over the dome... knocking the O ring into the goo... etc...
We then replaced the screen with a coffee filter, and that seemed to make a big difference
(this was the first pass of the heat gun after extraction.)
Now we are trying to figure out how to get out all the bubbles... we have done 12 pulls in this pic, but still seem to have little bubbles hanging around...
i'm thinking we need to heat the shatter more before vacuum? ... or do more pulls? .. or just do a final heat up, and let those bubbles pop and call it good? It does get hard and will crack when bent, so I think the consistency is right?
fyi, we just crunched up the sugar leaf by hand, and lightly packed it into the extractor. One can of Power 7x seemed to get us to a clear run off. we also got about 5g of product out of 5 extractions.
I'll do a video of my next process and put it up for critique

Here is a vacuum purged BHO carboxylic acid extraction from prime bud, a decarboxylated extraction from trim, BHO that has been isomerized, and BHO that has been converted to cannabis acetate.
The last BHO extraction is from fresh frozen material and demonstrates the lighter yellow color.

Your going to want to warm up the extract before it goes in the vacuum. Hard oil doesn't let gas escape very well. Heat at low temp for short times.. I use a ceramic bowl, that is heated to 150 inside my vacuum chamber. It keeps the oil warm and it keeps the gasses escapingWe decided to move up from a kief tumbler to BHO extraction, as our sugar leafs are soooo crystally. ... ordered the Okief extraction tube, dessicator, vacuum pump, heat gun.. etc.

how much material did it require for that 95g jar?

^^ EXACTLY! that shit looks fucking disgusting. You must have plant matter in it for it to be that dark. Try whipping it after you get your "final" to get the excess butane bubbles out.

I've found 115F at -29.9 Hg, allows the solvent bubbles to break free, but retains the oil in carboxylic acid form.
