How to make dabs(wax) from abv bud? Looking to learn how

[squirt1961]

Im looking to learn how to make dabs (wax, hash oil) from already been vaped buds can anyone here help a brother out? Im a newbie when it comes to extraction.

I would suggest going a qwETOH or qwISO method. keep in mind your end result will be sappy regardless. I have made oil from abv quiet a bit and always came out a little sappy. Still very strong though, flavor is okay.

I would go to skunk pharm website and check out their guides, they are excellent guides and a good start.

Thanks.... i had someone i met while petitioning in ohio that was going to show me he said he uses either naptha or xylene for his wash. Didnt sound very reliable so i appreciate you getting back to me.

SkunkFarm.com right? I did see one of thier guides today when i was searching ill check it out in depth.
Read another post on qwiso does it end up a wax when made with abv or is it more like a semi thick sludge?

To be honest there are a lot of different solvents to use. I prefer using ethanol but ISO works really well as well.

And when I made with avb, it came out I would say sappy. But could come out sludgy as well. Still came out good quality though. Avb does make good edibles as well.

You can extract it any number of ways. Everything that works before vaping, works afterwards, though the end product is different.

You may find yourself more in love with the concept of dabbing concentrate from ABV bud, than the actual experience. Not the same taste or effects as concentrate from the same buds before vaping. I suggest extracting a sample and trying it before launching a serious effort to reclaim it for dabbing.

I agree this is just pretty much to experiment ive got 8 plants growing and was planning on one for cooking edibles one for wax and the rest herbal. Im just using the abv because i have it and it doesnt cost me anything to try making it.
Ive had wax before and i love it just want to play around making it myself
