Hash and Oil Picture Thread

[Guzias1]

pulled an approximate 18% off a nug run today
490g, 16 cans.

in freezer "de-waxing" as we speak.

I think its gonna be purtyy.

pics on the way . Got 21% return after muffin. But that's with all the waxies.

Sweetness Guzias!! Can't wait to check out that absolute .

I gotta get my wife to upload the pics I took, but I scraped a lovely A grade dish yesterday. It was just a trim run, but it turned out very nice looking and even better tasting. Flavor wise its one of my top 5 batchs I've made to date. It was a mix of several strains but the combination of the C99 and the Bluethai created a absolutely outrageous flavor. The Thai sticks in the back of your throat after you exhale.

Another shot lost in the mix.. from some super dense nugs over 4/20 in Denver.. I believe some super silver haze nuggage..

Took me a minute or two to break down all them nugs, but standard 10 second sift thereafter.. as usual, no carding, no refining. Cheers.

Test Press

Just took a pinch of the hash to hand press to see how well it would mend together.

The hash was completely dry, and literally felt like sand or salt..

The moment I pressed my thumb to the hash in my palm, it began to melt and stick to itself...

Just a pinch, and ten to fifteen minutes of hand press, ball up and flatten...

Dabbed very well with just a tad of residue left on the nail.

That being said , I can't hold my eyes open...
Nap time, fuck...

 

[Thundercat]

That look stunning man. Whats it taste like.

 

[Guzias1]

looking good.
"tad bit of residue on the nail"
some of you may already know this.

but for those of you who don't, try this experiment:

clean your nail while it is cool, scrape it with a stainless steel edge of some sort, then rinse/rub well with alcohol till clean. Nail should look fresh and new.

NOW! The test.
absolute oil vs anything else...

dab the absolute oil first, inspect nail, should look perfectly clean .

next, dab some wax, or shatter, or in my case, a buddies "de waxed" oil. After inspecting bowl, we found little chunks of char.

I've tested against a few of my regular waxes and found more char..

its a good test that opens up new individuals eyes. Takes a CLEAN nail though.

"de waxing" as I understand, is one of those practices that should be stopped immediately.. but whatever, I've said it enough times

 

[Texas(THC)]

Qwiso from some kief and stems


QWET from some shake




both were purged with a hand pump and desiccator in a hot water bath
first and last time for sure!

 

[crazyhazey]

some shatter.

Thanks TC...

Spicy chocolate with floral notes at the front.

Absolutely fantastic.

It's a sleeper for sure, I just worked some more for bed time, it's much darker this go...more pics tomorrow.

Thanks for the kind words as always my friends.

I always thought the layer of ” soot” on the surface of the nail was the
” Seasoning”

I've found if that layer isn't there (after over-heating my nail)

The dab tastes metallic..

Anybody?

Why did you hear/do you think it should be stopped? Just wondering if its a risk to the processor or to the smoker.

 

[qwizoking]

to the smoke..

 

[crazyhazey]

Sirdabsalot, your nail hasnt tasted like this before right? i myself dont trust titanium, Highly Educated isnt too bad but some people who make nails cut corners by using cheaper metals, why i dont trust ioffer and ebay with nails. quartz would probably be your best way to test it imo, if it still tastes metallic i wouldnt smoke it, it may be unpurged or contaminated possibly. id try to purge it more and if it still has a taste like that id throw it into an edible.

 

[Guzias1]

quizo, I hear people dewaxing entirely with butane.. I believe bho needs to be de waxed, but with a 2nd solvent..

if I'm "dewaxing" means winterizing with ethanol. .

 

[qwizoking]

when I said "as I understand" I meant de waxing by just dropping butane temp, alot if people seem to do it.
winterizing is great

Single solvent works just as well and preserves a lot more flavor. Doing the double solvent dewax would/could actually be more harmful for the smoker because there is more water and iso left in it that they couldnt purge out.

Just think, if butane evaps at 30F and alcohol evaps at 70-80F and even when you multi-day purge BHO it still tests with some PPM of butane/hydrocarbons. So imagine the same thing except using alcohol. Seems like it would be higher due to the higher "boiling point" unless you increased temp which would further destroy flavor.

Ive made my qwiso and dewaxed bho with iso and everclear and it seems like i might as well just do a qwiso run if im going to because it has the same lack of flavor that the straight qwiso run had.

And its all about getting it to the right temp. Throwing it in your freezer wont do much, neither will freezing it for days or weeks. Either a deep/chest freezer or dry ice are the way to go. Gotta get it around -20 to -40. -30 seems to be the butter zone. Also, filtering in a timely and cold manner are key as well.

Single solvent dewax is really where its at. Im not knockin anyones tek. Hash is hash and i smoke it all. But id be able to tell some double solvent dewax, or qwiso from some single solvent dewax or non dewaxed bho.

Hello Crazy Hazy.

No worries at all my friend, metallic taste is only when I over heat the nail and accidentally clean the nail surface.

Not because of my extracts...

My concentrates are self made, and material sourced from folks I would trust my life with.
(gotta grow on temp shut down being on the middle of a double hip replacement)

I don't dab nor purchase obtain flower or anything from dispensaries.

I really appreciate the concern my friend,
Cheers.

Edit: The metallic taste only occurs when the nail has been super-heated creating a clean surface and I don't wait for the nail to cool.

I payed 80$ for a very small Ti (HE)
And have been using it daily for two years and it tastes the same as the day I got it.

But CH is correct , metallic tastes are no good.
Edit #2:the soot I speak of is actually gray and not black
Had to clarify that....

BLACK is different, shiny black is also different... I don't have an explanation for these occurrences.
But a flat dull gray is A-okay.

 

[Sirdabsalot462]

After working that hash a bit more...

Damn damn damn...

Bubbles insanely, til it's nearly gone!! as long as heat is supplied of course.

My first bubble that really bubbles A lot....

The smile on my face as I put the flames to that bowl was unforgettable.

I may try a ” melt shot”..but I'd have to rig up my phone....

Could do a video..but I doubt I'll do that..
I must share the bubble though !!!!

i'll go with it preserving more flavor. but i find it hard to believe it tests higher in thc..

the butane does a really nice job of bonding itself to the waxes.. i dont have the funds to have lab test results.. but i bet ya my everclear in freezer that gets to -10F does the job better than ultra cold butane.

i use a nail as my test :]
i gotta say, i dont think ive tested a good enough "single solvent de waxed" candidate either..
