newbie Q: sizzling when smoking ice hash?

[OGPurp]

Hi, I just finished making some hashish through ice extraction, it's excellent! I've learned much from this thread, thanks!

My question is when you first smoke ice hash there is a sizzling and bubbling. What exactly in the hashish is bubbling off at this point? The smoke from the first toke of ice hash always seems the most satisfying IMO. Sometimes I see small sparks too. TI doubt if it's a contaminant...the only possible contaminants could be C particles from my scrubber; I flushed for 10 days so I doubt if it's nute residue.

if you try and smoke bubble hash before its dry, you get that sizzeling and bubbleing. the reason you like it is becasue it gives off a kind of steamy hit when you smoke bubble thats still damp, a bit like a vaporizer lol. the problem is that if you leave it damp like that you will get mold. break it appart into smaller bits and spread it out on cardboard, so that it can dry properly inside.
