Bulénath said:Another question I have is a more obvious one, pertaining to the two different models: Aluminum and Steel.
Obviously the Steel one would retian heat much better, and also be much better at evenly distributing heat.
Where as the Aluminum one I just goes from Hot to cool to the touch in 10 seconds.
Does anyone find that, because of this differece, the Steel one produces better quality Hash???
Bulénath said:High HempKat,
Good to see you around! Thank you for your reply.
I am following the rule of "not so hot that you can't touch it".
Sometimes it does get kinda hot, but within two or three seconds I can hold it tight in my hand without any problem.
Maybe it's nothing to wory about, but then again, I am a Gong (glass on Glass) Kinda smoker that only likes the very best. So naturally this rubber O-ring makes me concerned.
Anyway, I have noticed many differnt things about smoking my pressed-ganja!
First of all, let me state my stash isn't totally dry. It's half way there. So it's not fully crispy, and it smells a little fresh. Either way, I pressed four grams total, over four sessions, one gram per session.
My last run was pure buds that I didn't coffe-grind, rather hippie picked them apart with my fingers, then pressed it.
My Roor bong has never been cleaner after a fat bowl! Usually if I smoke grinded ganja, my Diffuser/Downstem turns brown with ash stains and my bong water turns yellow and putrid after a single half-gram bowl!
But the pressed-ganja leaves my pipe perfectly clean! Even with the exact same weight packed into a bowl, the end result is a bong that barely looks used!
Also, the pressed-ganja is smoking down to a white ash, without any bad taste! Surely when regular ganja is this fresh, and smoked down to the last hit, it tastes like ass! Not to mention there is a thick pile of left-over black ashses! But when I smoke pressed-ganja ( I hesitate to say hash, for the buds were practically whole), this is not the case!
It is so amazing I have spent all day thinking about why, and I have been wanting to talk about this with everyone here...
Seems like the pressed-ganja, because it is thicker and denser, is able to smolder at higher temperatures much longer, thus allowing the weed optimal combustion with very little flame! Also, becasue of this higher temperature of virtual "hot rocks" made of pressed weed, it is able to smoke down to pure white ashes without making a mess inside of my Roor Bong's Diffuser/Downstem and bong water!
But that is all I can think of: Relating this Phenomenon to heat.
Any comments, information, etc, is very appreciated!
Aloha everyone
