cool method. I like just dropping the herb in, turn the switch, and come back some hours later.

I'm going to have to give that a try though, I have a set of bubble bags, just too much of a project with the water, etc.

I tried the dry ice method. all I have to say is holy shit.

I ran with crushed dry ice and 45 micron first, shook for about 2-3 minutes. Then, switch to 220 micron and shake until it starts to get a little darker. Then, I start a new pile, and shake for the last pile which I'll cook with.

shake ~gently~ for best results. no rushing, it goes very fast anyway!

it's the quality of bubble without the water, and the highest yields of any method I've seen.

I also tried adding some crushed dry ice to the tumbler, which produced a fine product as well.

thanks for the tip!

Hash isn't cheap, but it can be made cheaply, all the really good ways take a bit of doing, but if you have a good sized plastic container with a good lid you're half way. take said container and cut out the lid leaving just the rim. Now find a very fine sheer fabric, drapery sheer, nylons and strech it between the lid and tub. Put your swag/budlets in the freezer in this tub, when frozen shake some through your new 'kief' maker and just press into HASH. BTW, the cold makes the tricomes brittle and less sticky so they filter better.

use mainly for cooking or what? Really never had any hash or kief

[copobo]

the 45 micron is definitly for smoking or vape-ing.

The 220, the first pile I made is smoking quality, the second for cooking.

it can be pressed into hash.

the consistency of the 45 is like a super light playdough, completely dry.

I put a small bud in the bottom of a pipe, then cover it with kief. Light one tiny piece of the edge, and it will slowly burn all the way across the bowl, with no need for a lighter after the first puff.

cool thanks

Look at it with a microscope or good handheld scope. The dry ice hash samples that i have seen tend to have a little bit more plant fibers in them than regular ice water hash. I think that is why the resulting volume is increased so much. The extra has to come from somewhere.

It does seem much easier than the ice and water process and the quality seems to be sufficient. I've yet to try it, but it's on the "to do" list.

[copobo]

try it. shake lightly and crush the dry ice up into super small chunks/dust so the ice doesn't crush the material up too much. the 45 micron run is the most amazing super light yellow stuff I've ever seen. When switch to 220, When a hint of green starts to come through, start shaking a new pile, and use that for cooking. I have a usb scope, I'll see about posting something later if I can find it.

if you are going to buy dry ice... a few pounds of dry ice is enough to process a bunch of material. BUT, it disappears quickly (a 10 lb bag will pretty much disappear in 24 hrs), so don't buy the dry ice until you are ready to go.

Highly concentrated: tips for better hash from Colorado's best - Denver News - The Latest Word (http://blogs.westword.com/latestword/2011/12/highly_concentrated_tips_for_better_hash_from_colo rados_best.php)

This is one of the best articles I've seen on the subject for a while. Since we started adopting some of Nick's techniques, we've managed to get full melt extractions using just water. Some of his best tips:
- Keep your water COLD. Dish gloves can help your hands deal with some of the shock.
- Make sure everything you use is CLEAN. If you wouldn't want it in your hash, don't leave it in your bags/bucket/washer.
- Use high quality water. Since switching to RO, or reverse osmosis, the difference is amazing.

I'm kind of a hash hound, so if you're just starting out, don't worry if you don't have RO water on hand or if you're mixing the wrong trichome heads together. Have fun with it and watch your back! A good hashing sesh can leave you quite sore.
