Dry ice hash - What'

But if you just use a 220 you wont get a melting hash, it will burn more like a powdery leaf mixture. I don't think a 220 hash with a lot of leaf material in it is going to press very well either?

The guy in the video didn't seem to have any problem pressing his, and neither do I.

I've used a metal 110 micron screen setup for the Dry Ice extraction. Built my own tumbler and then later heard about this technique. So, popped some chunks of dry ice in and boom, what used to take a whole day to do I get in 30 seconds. Some pretty good hash is produced using the metal screen I have but will be buying a 90 bubble bag to see the difference. Bottom line is the longer you shake it the more plant material will become powder and fall through. I did a small batch and purposely shook it until there was close to nothing left. It will all go through eventually. If your using a 220 or a 70 the key will be not to get greedy lol. I found about 30 seconds works for me.

Just tried it for the first time, damn that was easy. Haven't tested the results yet.

I've done several runs with the dry ice so far using pure crystal covered stinky bud with the 220 and 160 and I like the 220 better. When you're working with higher quality material, letting a little extra fall through is a-ok and that would be the opposite obviously if you were using junk shake or something in which case you would probably want to use at least a 160.

The last run I began labeling my yields and taking notes. I used approximately 3/4 oz of prime stank and did 2 runs with the 220.....1st pull I recovered 8 grams and the 2nd pull I recovered 4 grams and both press with no problem. They're both blonde but the first run is "sexy blonde"

Then after that, I took the leftover waste and made up some budda which included about 100 grams of quality trim with 1LB butter. 8 hours on simmer and the shit is almost too strong for me. I just took a spoon of about 2 tablespoons and shoveled it down the gulley with some diet pepsi and 30 minutes later it's nuttin but balls to the walls

Aren't you all glad we had this discussion lol

Wait 21 grams of dank turned into 12 grams of hash? thats more than 50% crystals. That's crazy.

220 Micron and that was running it through TWICE......I'll have to start snapping some pics of my hash patties and posting the results of dry ice hash for the non-believers

BTW, for the fella who wants full melt, all you have to do is use a 160 and good bud and you'll get full melt. What's the fascination with "full melt" anyways? I really can't say my first run hash that melts gets me any higher really than the 2nd run....I noticed the 2nd run burns like charcoal though so I suppose that could be the difference. The charcoal is harsh and I guess the full melt was smoother at least for me. Also, I should mention that the bud which was used in the extraction was Kwabble X Herijuana and oh is she a M-FER!

I've ran multiple "tests" with my first batch of dry ice hash. It's great. A little pinch of the wonderful powder smokes much better than a chunk of bubble. I'm never making bubble hash again. Thank you RIU.

We pulled 42 grams in less then an hour from our saved trimmings using less then $15 of dry ice.
Like you, I will never do bubble again.

I'm tellin ya man....I tried the wet way 1 time and it was such an unnecessarily long process that was very very messy and produced a disappointingly low yield that I didn't even do a 2nd wash. I just freezer bagged the whole damn mess and made butter with it over the weekend. I think this is simply an evolution in simple and effective hash making....wet bubble hash was nice but now dry ice hash - oh my word

Many grocery stores sell it. They usually have a small deep freeae up front somewhere

I finally did a batch with my trimmings last night. I will never do the wet method again either. I will let anything I plan to hash dry before do it. My hash feels a lot wetter than I wanted.

It's so easy a southerner could do it

BTW, definitely wanna have your goods dry before dry ice hashing them......I was concerned about moisture in the final product for obvious reasons but I had the stuff bone bone dry and I keep checking the envelopes everyday and all is well. Worse case scenario if your pull is wet then you just let it sit out in the open air for a day or two.

It didn't make much sense to dry it before I did the wet method so i would freeze trimmings immediately, so I just used what I had already frozen rather than unfreeze it and dry it.

I've always left my hash out too. I would place it on cardboard to dry and it would stay there until it was used. I left all the dry ice hash sitting on cardboard as well. Next time I will dry my trimmings before hand.

So am I making a mistake keeping my hash patties in folded paper? I've checked them all daily to inspect for any moisture and all seems to be ok but if I need to throw 'em on some cardboard for a few days and let it breathe to make sure it doesn't go bad on me or anything then I'll get 'er done....whatch'ya think guy?

I'm not a hash expert. Up until 2 nights ago I had only done then wet method so all my hash was soaked with water.

Meijer just took out all the dry ice, Wal-Mart and Leppinks don't have any either. Any ideas where to find some near Greenville?

Do you have any local Ice companies? They all sell it, and it's cheap

"FULL MELT" the reason full melt is full melt is because its pure resin heads and it has a higher potentcy than hash that does not bubble.. yes bubble hash method is a pain in the ass but the dry ice hash you can definatly end up getting A LOT of plant material in it causing it to be LESS QUALITY. YES its EASIER and YEILD IS MORE BUT its LESS QUALITY. I know this because ive done both methods same strain and same harvest went and had it tested at the Lab and the "bubble hash" had much more of thc content because there was more plant material. but if you dont care so much about it and just want something easier than yes dry ice is easier.. but the "big mess" that bubble makes i dno what that means its pretty easy clean up put your bubble bags in rubbing alcohol and then rinse with water n there clean

It's not the mess that makes dry ice superior for me, it's the time involved and the end product. DIH is so much faster to make and the powder is much more versatile than a hard lump of bubble hash.
