Making Grinder Hash/Oil

[Tony Aroma]

I don't know if this is a crazy idea, or if everybody's doing it and I just don't know about it.

I hate to waste all the trichomes that accumulate in my grinder (on the blades, not the stuff that falls through the screen). So I was wondering what would happen if I soaked the grinder in alcohol, then saved the alcohol and evaporated it. Anybody ever try this? Would it work? Would I end up with the equivalent of iso oil?

Your grinder would have to be really full of trichs to make it worth it.that said all grinders need an iso bath time to time.clean it and see what happens

I tried it, and it worked GREAT! I submerged the grinder parts in a small glass of iso alcohol for a few seconds, swished them around a bit, and they were clean. I poured the alcohol through a fine strainer into a glass baking dish with a fan blowing over it. In about 20 minutes, the alcohol was evaporated, and what was left was sort of a sticky, oily, hash. It wasn't a lot, but it was DEFINITELY worth the minimal effort. A very nice smoke, just a little crumb burns a long time.

Please don't use iso on aluminium, use acetone or ethanol instead, iso reacts with aluminium, probably not too bad but still. I tried it with acetone and it worked well.
