Im not that fussy. My method is quick, cheap and clean. And it gets me something that real im happy with. I grew up smoking the Gold Seal black hash from afghanistan. That was far from pure but i loved it. The smell of it still makes my mouth water.
Then i got to smoke some morroccan #1 in amsterdam. It was the best hash i have ever smoked in my life...until i started making my own. It s very much like the morrocan style, but much cleaner because of a clean manner of extraction. May not be pure as what others do, but i don think purity is the end all be all. That lacks character, to me...
To each his own i guess.
The key to the dry ice keif is pressing it hard for a few days like the morrocan do... makes the gold sweeter...i imagine it would do the same to tumble sifting or the like.
And there is no potency lost. Potency isnt a measure of how pure the resin is. It is a measure of how strong the resin is. There is a difference. You dont get higher by smoking more of it. At a certain point past your tolerance you only get so high. The difference in how high you get is a difference between strains.
As for using my precious buds in the dry ice... could never do it. I agree there is much better ways to extract from flowers. Dry ice for trim only...
look-
I get one gram of dry sift keif from a Chemdog 91 with NO plant leaf material, it tests at X % thc
you get a gram of dry ice kief from the same plant ...and it tests lower X% thc =yours has X % leaves, containing no active ingredients like thc. It's potency by weight is reduced for the weight of the non active ingredients.
dry ice only chills trichome stalks so they break off easily. Unfortunately it smashes plant material along the way, grinds it small enough to fit through your screens eventually, as you state.
Any strain I grow, any kief I make, any oil I make, always gets you higher if you smoke more. If it didnt I'd be growing carrots instead. you may have other issues at hand
Your product is most assuredly contains less thcLESS POTENT by weight.
