ONLY GOT A HALF OZ OF EARWAX OUT OF A HALF LB.? please help

Yo! so i ended my night with a fair amount of delicious flower to get here... two bowls, this log is a bit difficult ATM, but, thought I'd give this a try in the morning before work! I prepared it just like you, so im hoping this tastes AMAZING , and also, hope it works

damn you got a nice color to yours.

what did you think of smoking it off the ash? the ash has gotta be perfect, and gotta be lots too or the oil just eats up the ash and runs through the stem.

which I think ive been noticing. the bubbler in my bong gets dirty very fast. it builds up chunks of oil on the top of the water. now I am wondering if thats resin or shit from the smoke? or if its my oil melting through the ash when I smoke it, then down the stem, then into the water and floating around??

you knowsss, it wasnt a bad bowl this morning, I guess its better that im not extremely ripped before work today..

I think i burned it well, i melted it down, and it coated my ash bowl, then i got 2 pretty nice rips off of her

got a nice little taste..

BUT, i think my hash bowls with flower base is the way to go :]

was fun melting the goo off my pin though, never done that!

never melted it off a pin eh?! thats crazy!!! I gotta be over 10,000 times by now. thats how I get it into vials... or dripping it off a blade. ill have to get a video sometime. its quite the art.

I have re considered the ash way.. I think a lot might be burning through the ash, down the stem, and then into the ashcatcher. its hard to say.

ya using a paperclip usualy involves oil that are not very stable, if you can touch it by hand u dont need clip.

so i ran 5 oz and got 16grams out of it, again very nice quality bright yellow crumbles in your hand and touchable without your hand being covering in oil, like i pack bowls with my hand with this stuff and the last.

and then i ran some wet trim and got about 8 grams from 5 oz but it was wet so im gbonna re run when it dries ( I read plenty of mixed reviews about using wet trim, from the basics I got about 60% less oil and it higher quality, don't know the truth but these are the opinions I read)

So I got about 11.5 %

And about 5.5%

How the hell do you guys get such good return.

I probably use 10 cans to a qp?!



Also was doing dabs last night and opposed to the flavor of the wax smoked on a bowl , I much rather prefer on weed or smoked normally.



The The oil rig tase like a vaporizer wood kinda that kushy woody flavor

Opposed to the delicious taste of a .5-1.0 on a bowl and it tasting good for 8+ hits.

Don't know just my opinion, is also don't like vaporizers because of the flavor difference

1g on a bowl, jesus. either youre immune to it or its not very efficient and burning into the bowl, or the cherry is just burning/wasting away!! 1g provides me enough for 30~ or so hoots. make a g last 4 days at least. 1g in 1 bowl... damn. that shits like 40$ a gram!

the return all has to do with what youre using... primo bud? medium grade shake? or just sugar leaves and stuff like that.. I use the bottom of my half lb freezer bags. each bag gets me like 14g or so of very nice bottoms. also got a guy who saves it. we got over a lb of it saved and use that. its good enough to roll joints with and consistently pulls out 20% of BHO.

10 cans to a qp seems a little much. you would be surprised at how little the 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc can pull out. it all depends on the extractor and stuff I guess. which makes me wonder... is it possible to use too much butane? does it ever over rinse it? if not, let say you used 100 cans for the qp.. after one hell of a purge, would it still be possible to make very nice honeycomb out of a 100 can, 100 gram rinse? (overkill, I know.. but you get my point)

youre right about the pin thing... my oil has been under purged for years and im now realizing it. it is a thick liquid at room temperature.

I ran 20 grams of kief with 1 can of butane, and got 5 grams of very nice oil... true shatter. at room temp too! whereas my normal oil is kinda liquidy at room temp.

how do you guys store your vial? is it soft and mushy? no matter what, my oil is always like glass.. thus always requiring heat in order to do anything with it and using a pin (its usually in a vial or on something other than parchment paper so I cant just break off a chunk like my kief oil can).... also, dont you guys ever do blade tokes?! does the oil rig taste anything like blade tokes? (which are fuckin delicious... but hurt too much)

another random question for guys with oil only rigs.... does your water ever get yellow??? seems like my ash catcher water gets yellow after 1 or 2 hoots of weed... then I changed water, kept the ash in it, and only smoked oil/hash off that ash... the water stayed clearish for like 4 days.?? wtf

Immunity is starting to grow is the main part

But if im just smoking for my self il put .1 minimum on a snap.
gram bowls go for when medicating with 4 min.
it burns evenly and nicely just gotta make sure you try to clog the drop whole with flowers.
i like it especially because when smoked it melts and the weed soaks it up likea sponge, and i said tasted good for 8 hits probly last for 15-20 reasonably.

I'm going to start making tinctures for the whole immunity problem.
My understanding is if you can't support your habit, you need to find it at a completely better price.
I can get pounds of sugar leaf for 200, smokeable sugarleaf as that's what I use for free screen or joints.

I wish I could upload pictures but my hash is bright in color and crumbles to the touch with a bit of moistness to make it so you can squeeze it together in a clump.
I pack bowls of mine by breaking it off and crumling it onto the bowl with my hand.

I keep it in parchment paper inside a mason jar.
Stays fresh



BUt im told with smokeable sugarleaf trim return rate should be 15% I mean the trim I used was definitely quality and smokeable by itself.

Could it be my extractor?

I'm using about an inch diameter glass extraction tube probly 16inches long with rubber bands and coffee filters over the end?

First time I got 6.3%(quality)

Next 11.5%(the trim I used the first time was 10 times better)

Next 5.5% (but wet trim)

your trim wasnt as good as you think then you should get a 10-15% at least on top quality trim. or its not a good hash strain

fuck! you need better returns, im completely confused on how you pull so small. post some pictures of the entire setup you got, and do you have a clear tube? are you making sure to pack tightly? like fill it up 3 inches, pack, fill 3 inches, pack etc..

COFFEE GRINDER!!!!!!!!! do it lightly with love not to coarse not to fine trim should be dry as can be then throw it in the freezer for 30 mins, or overnight if you can

white fire gold nuggets. reminds me of that gold candy that came in a mini burlap sack

that looks delicious^^

I think yetis problem is, like mentioned, its not as sugary as what other people here use. but for 200 a lb a 15% return rate is great. I pay 800$ an lb for my shake and its very nice, yields 20% minimum. 25 max if I really really tried and sacrificed quality.

I have yet to make a wax like shown here though. its always been a golden, syrupy oil.

I definitely use sugar leaf and not shake, its all the leaf trimmed from the bud excluding fan leaf.

but my stuff looks just like that picture above

And I haven't gotten 15% return, the highest I got was 16g from 150g which is around 11.5

When I only got 6.3% I didn't really pack it wasn't sure because the glass pipe didn't want to clog it, it was my first time using glass, im re running that batch tonight so il see..


Could it be my tube some how not working?
When I used PVC my return was pretty good at 12-15% consistently, using crappy trim

Gotta use melt strains like afgooey, white widow/white rhino.

I used a straight sour diesel strain, purely sour. Is that good for hash?

I thought that my be a reason, which strains are not good for hash?

So far the purple razz has been the best return out of blue dream and sour d.

I'm switching from this SHIT WINDOWS PHONE to a android later today so il hopefully be able to upload pictures.

I have heard sour d many times and always good results.

What the fuck,

I'm not ver estimating quality if trim its still snokeable after I rinsed it .

Any ideas to help increase yield?

im just gonna pack the shit out of it . And let trim sit in freezer for an hour

still smokeable after rinsing it?? that right there makes a guy wonder! trim is barely smokeable before you rinsed it!

he's got good shit!

Hey yetti. What kind of butane are you using?

Maybe your tube is too wide? What's the inner dimensions of tube?

let it sit a lil longer try giving it hot water bath a day or two later after you let it sit out while slightly mixing it.
