make you some holy shit annointing oil, i've been wanting to make a batch of that for a while now.
dry ice is nice if made thru a 120 or finer screen.

What I don't like about bubble (or at least the bubble I've had) is that it basically seems like lousy dry sift, chunked together. .. which means I need to break it BACK down, ..
Thanks jbg!
StrawDD. Day 62. All cloudy, maybe 5% amber (?!). As best my brokeass eyes can tell with this brokeass loupe.
I have 3 Strawdd at day 60. I must be copying you.
Damn, don't check this thread for a few days, and miss a buncha concentrate talk, and screen building! You already saw my sifter, so instead I'll just throw in my two cents on the different collection methods... A defender of the solvents!!
Never tried dry ice or shooting butane... If I did, I'd probably put them together, and do a thermos soak with the dry ice hash. There isn't much more I love than dabbing, and ya can't dab the dry sift, and have a hard time with even good bubble...
I've got a set of bubble bags and they produce kickass material without a doubt, but before that used paint strainers for 5 gallon buckets thanks to grownout. At your local home improvement store and just beat the frozen trim in your ice water, strain it with your paint strainer, and then let the goodies settle and siphon off the top. Check out gumby hash, another name for it, cheap and very nice for the materials needed...
I love my sifting screen for seed sorting/trimming, but other than that, I don't sift too often. The amount I get from trimming, sorting, and crude grinder sift keeps me in golden stuff...
I always come back to dabbing and ethanol washes though. The sheer potency, and flavor when done right is the best. I get an everclear off brand that is 96% ethanol. Freeze it and your trim, throw it in a jar and shake for 30-60 seconds. Dump it into a plastic bag with the corner cut out to squeeze out all the alcohol. Run the alcohol through your coffee filters. Let it evaporate naturally (about 24-36 hours) in a VERY THIN film and then scrape.
A few keys to making that fine shatter oil...
No to very low heat. Heat definitely messes with the flavors and my best batches have always been evaporated away just using ambient temps and open air.
Very small batches when evaporating. It goes quicker, and with thin films, ethanol doesn't get trapped beneath the surface as it hardens. My best batches look almost like there's a thin frost on the plate, and then it scrapes to a golden powder. Just pushing it between your fingers turns it into a hard dark piece of shatter. Reds/purples/browns depending on the herb. I do large washes, and then have several dishes and just constantly have some evaporating and the rest suspended in a jar.
If ya fuck up and try too big of a batch or something else, just redissolve it, and try again. Almost fool proof
Gotta go dab a few more after that post!! Many of pics of everything in my album titled 'HASH'
Peace!
