whew did some very large runs today. sadly the large runs were not my material, but somebody elses, so I'll only get a small cut of it, but hey its nice to /see/ that much material come out of the bags, ahh....so much hash.
 
hey man, made an account to see if you could help me out with this question about the drying process.
i have been drying my concentrates by collecting all the wet hash and using a razor blade to chop it all up, then placing all the chopped up hash on a piece of cardboard to dry it out.
Am i doing this wrong?
also, i know you dont run BHO anymore, but in your experience, which strains tend to wax up the best?
thanks

Read the thread, the drying process is covered in detail.
 
this thread, post #35. :)
ah, thank you!

glad i came across this. Before, i was using subcool's outdated method of squeezing the hash patties while still in the bags to strain out most of the water, then chopping it up afterwards to let it dry out. but i still feel like i was trapping in moisture, even after it was chopped up.
thanks

so, before I take the plunge on this work bag, do any of you have any experience with these guys being good or bad or this product in particular being good or bad????

I just tested that bag, and I do not like it. I prefer the work bags from bubbleman, they are thicker and slightly smaller.

you are correct. the main reason I started teaching ice water extraction is that I was not satisfied with the other tutorials out there.

will it work fine for the price??? I can't afford to spend 40+ dollars on a work bag.

wacky bags makes a drawstring work bag for the same price, do you know if it's stronger??
I've not heard of wacky bags and can't really vouch for them. Use a 220 bag in your kit and it will catch the stuff that should not have come out of the work bag.

oh I already do, I just want to make sure I get something that's not gonna bust open on me because I do intend to use it a lot.... the wacky bags one seemed like for the same price it would be stronger than the other one..


nevermind, I read reviews, wackybags suck.

I'm gonna just go with teh bubblemagic and treat it nicely.

So just curious, the ExtractionKing link doesn't seem to work for me, nor does it work through google, anyone else having this trouble and do you still recommend them? Have you tried nikka T's bags yet, they look sweet to me but I'm still curious as to a comparison on those vs Bmans bags...

P.S. First post on RIU, I only made my account to look at your pictures even though I'm pretty sure I've seen most of them on facebook...

Matt what do you think about three 5 galllon bags in the 20 gallon machine. Instead of the lg 20 galloon bag. I feel like you would get more extraction with a little less agitation. Just wondering if you have tried this method? Have you explained how you make yoour bubble dabable?

I don't have a 20 gal machine but I do know when I load my 5 gal machine part way like that it'll quickly get to the point where you need to add more water, and the ice usually melts some, so it causes the whole 5 gal to 20 gal ratio thing to get pretty bad pretty quick, so IMHO I don't think it would work well.
