What is the simplest setup you all may suggest? Smoke shops near me are not trustworthy, I'd rather go online...thanks!

Mix it with some bud powder and smoke it. Pure concentrate is hell on the lungs. I've coughed up blood after smoking it regularly for a few weeks. 2 parts concentrate to 1 part powder seems to work best for me.

Yeah you can make soft black hash out of it, or kind of black. I take the bud I extracted with alcohol, dry the alcohol off, steep all water solubles out of it, dry it back out, crush it as much as possible, put it through a metal cooking strainer of fine mesh, put it with twice its weight of the extract in a shallow glass Pyrex dish, heat it in the microwave for probably 10-30 seconds, forget exactly, to get it fairly warm, mix it thoroughly with the back of a spoon, gather it into a piece of parchment, wrap the parchment around it and compress it into a ball with my hands. Voila, hash.

No kneading required, too much hassle, just compress it like I said, as hard as I can. When it cools to room temp it's very nice hash, just a little grainy texture because it's just a metal strainer. It's hard to get enough powder with a very fine screen like a metal or polyester coffee filter. You can't really notice the coarse texture unless you look at it with a magnifying glass though, otherwise looks like normal hash. To make it also smell like real hash the bud has to be heat cured though. Nobody but me knows how to do that, all anybody else knows how to do is age bud in a jar like people do with pipe tobacco. I guess that's where somebody got it from years ago and people have been copying that one guy since then, mistakenly calling it "curing". Actual curing turns it brown and makes it smell like Colombian and makes the extract smell like hash oil. I recently posted a thread about this in the harvesting and curing forum, called "difference between curing and aging". Surprising how people thought jar aging was curing all this time. Curing doesn't take place at 62% RH, but that's the right RH for aging pipe tobacco.

Heh, that's cool, I have never really cured bud before, looling forward to it on my first grow. I'll check out your thread sometime. Thank you!
