Bubble hash Vs. Dry ice hash with fresh frozen trim

Hey everyone, Im wondering if you could end up with the same results of a 120-73 micron product of bubble hash with fresh frozen trim vs. the same with the Dry ice method? making sure to keep check on quallity and not over shake it. Just wondering because i havent had much luck with bubble bags thanks!

I moved to Ice Hash because the bubble bags were to much work and mess. If I make hash it's with dry ice. Simple and hard to screw up and low cost.

The same results? No. You will get something totally different and if you do it correctly it will be amazing. I never got good at making bubble hash but some of my dry ice hash is many times better then my best bubble hash IMO. Poorly made dry ice hash sucks

From what I've seen, dry ice method always produces a less quality finished product to water and ice...More plant material for sure...

Ice wax ftW!!

My first try was dry ice hash using a 220 bag. It came out very green but tasted like hash. Oh, it also makes sticky dust that gets everywhere! Broke my back with water buckets and bags but the results were pure! Just had some and it made my lips numb.

Thanks for the replies, They say the best bubble hash is with fresh frozen trim/plant material, I think with fresh frozen trim the trics would fall off easy without much crumble of the plant material. Iv never done it but i plan to try it this way with my trim. I think ill go with a 90 micron bag.

Dry ice hash is somewhat similar to the traditional dry-sieved hash, except you're using sub-freezing temperatures to help the trichromes break/slough off instead of just rubbing.

Like old-school sieved hash, the first kief that comes out is the purest and best. As you work more, you get more kief, but you also get more leaf material too, lowering the overall quality.

I know you can get an excellent quality product with dry ice if you use the appropriate bag size and especially if you are careful not to overwork the trim. Basically the first few shakes out of the bag are where all the "gold" is. The "problem" is that with dry ice the leaf material quickly freezes and starts to pulverize into dust in a way that doesn't quite happen with underwater agitation.

For this reason *if you know what you're doing and do it right* you can get quite a bit more top and medium quality hash with bubble bags, and that's why people mess with them. But in terms of "quick and dirty" dry ice is probably the fastiest/easiest way to get at least some high quality kief.

When making dry ice hash do you dry the trim and shake before hand or is it better moist?

Jogro the resin DO NOT need sub freezing temperature to fall, they have been designed by mother nature to fall by themselves at maturity or at the touch of an insect.

"The "problem" is that with dry ice the leaf material quickly freezes and starts to pulverize into dust" you nailed it here Jogro and it happens very fast
It does not happen with water and does not when you dry sieve either.

The real problem is that everybody is focusing on technique but before the technique you need to know the material you are working with.
How good a blacksmith would be if he did not know all the properties of the metal he is working with even if he can hammer like a brute?
Any great craftsman knows his medium in depth so it is for us.
The whole formation of cannabinoids happen in those resin glands, a simple chemical structure made of two similar molecules (terpenes and phenols) , available in all the plant kingdom but manufactured only in a Cannabis resin gland.
It is unique and the synthesis is still not totally understood, we are working with a miracle of evolution.
