I've heard about the tumblers but have never seen any. Damn now I have another decision to make bags or a tumbler. Their were a couple guys at the nook working on making a tumbler system, but I haven't heard an update yet.Quote:

Hey Happy,
I have used the bags many times before. It is actually my preferred method over all others. I would estimate that if you have 10oz of good trim and popcorn buds that you should easily get 3/4oz of bubble/ice hash with the bags. It really depends on how frosty your material is - the more frost the more hash.
In a way 3/4 oz does not sound like much but it is extremely potent stuff. You don't need to much to turn you into a vegetable. A piece the size of a peppercorn will get you so screwed up that you won't want to have anymore for many hours. Now imagine how many peppercorn size balls you can make out of 3/4 oz which is about 2 golf ball size balls.
I think you will also find the flavour much better than even the best bud off the same plants. I find the high is so pure and the taste is very clear as you are smoking the concentrated stuff that everyone is after anyhow.
I have a friend who is into the tumbler process but I don't find the quality is as good as the bubble. I find the tumbled stuff is a little more 'green' tasting as some of the plan material works it way through.
Hey Nosehit,
Yes, I have used them many times before. Check my last post. The process is very very simple and takes less than 2 hours to complete - most of the 2 hours being a sit & wait game.
For $100 bucks it is very much worth the investment. I picked mine up from resinextract, the place that Zandor has put in his link. Less $ than bubble bags and work just as good as far as I am concerned.
Instead of making bubble hash, have you considered making oil?
Hash is cool, but its a lot of work and it does take some experience. Your first batches will not be nearly aas good as your 10th batch because of the learning curve.
I would consider the oil. Lets face it, if your weed is good, you should be sufficiently buzzed after 2 or 3 one hitters. If you condense the weed to hash, so now you get stoned after one or one and half one hitters.
Either way, you are smoking the same ole dope.
To move on the next level of buzzing, I would really recommend you try the oil. A mucher faster and harder high.
In fact one of the drawbacks of the oil high is it sneaks up on you so fast you have usually overdone it by the time you realize it...lol....
All you need is some pure alcohol and in a couple of days, your smoking some kick assed oil.
I would prefer that buzz over hash buzz for strength and enduring for hours.
Just my thoughts, thanks for lettin me share em.
How do you make good pure oil?
A lot of good rescources are around for it...
1. Coffee Grind your smoke into fine sawdust like powder. Use short, quick pulses to keep the heat generated to a minimum.
2. Put 1 part weed into a glass jar with 2 part 99.99% pure alcohol. Rubbing alcohol is fine just make sure its 99% pure. Any less is too watered down. THC IS NOT water soluable. Shake and place in freezer. It wont freeze because of the alcohol.
3. Shake the mixture every couple of hours vigorously, then place jar back into freezer.
4. Let it sit in the freezer for at least 24 hours, shaking often. Some say days, or weeks even, but i have found 24 - 48 hours is just fine.
5. Take a metal bowl and place a silk shirt sleeve, or, silk hankerchief over it. Empty the contents of the jar into the silk clothe and squeeze all the liquid from the weed. The liquid should collect in the metal bowl. ALL THE LIQUID. Squeeze hard and long. Make sure your metal bowl is flat on the bottom and will rest along the heat source evenly for the next step.
You will have a dark green liquid (all alcohol) in the bowl. DO NOT SMOKE OR EXPOSE THIS LIQUID TO ANY FIRE OR IGNITION SPARK SOURCE DURING ANY PART OF THIS PROCESS OR SAY GOODBYE TO YOUR HANDS AND OR FACE!! :( :( :( :( I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY IF YOU CAN"T UNDERSTAND....KEEP FROM FLAME OR SPARK OR CELL PHONES OR ANYTHING THAT CAN IGNITE FUMES.
You now have your liquid which contains your oil in a suspended state. We will now correct that and stabilize the oil. :cool: :cool: :cool:
YOu are now ready to make the oil.... :D :D
1. Take the metal bowl with the liquid and place it in a larger metal frying pan or something. It matters not, so long as it is biggger than your metal bowl.
Place the frying pan on the stove and 'cook' the alcohol to where it just barely boils and bubbles. You MUST use care here. It is best to do this outside as the resulting cooking will make the inside of your house smell like rubbing alcohol and fumes will be everywhere. When I do mine, I have the stove fan on high and it takes the fumes outside.
If the kids are around, I use a small plug-in single burner stove (ELECTRIC) ;) ;) (NOT GAS) :( :( and I hide in my shed and make it. :D
The alcohol will boil or evaporate off. It takes about 30 minutes...maybe 45 depending on the volume of alcohol used. 2 cups of liquid will take 45 minutes. Do NOT rush the process. Keep it right to barely bubbleing.
2. As the liquid evaporates off, watch carefully...at the very end...the last seconds...your oil will appear and begin to bubble. DO NOT over cook or you will vaporize the THC away. DO NOT under cook, or, your oil will still be flammable. A good way to test is to light the oil with a lighter and see if it catches fire instantly. IF it does, slowly boil the stuff a bit longer.
When you are satisfied your oil is good and the alcohol is gone, remove from heat and let it sit for about 10 minutes. IT will thicken. Use razor blades to scrape it out of the bowl and place into a small container.
The best container I have found is a soda bottle top. Cover with foil to protect the freshness.
You now have the strongest oil you can make. It will appear dark or dark green as the alcohol does solvent off more than the THC.
Other solvents such as butane or propane can be used to get a more clear oil, but the expense and the time hasn't been worth it to me.
Doing this a couple of times, you will easily master the art of oil making from ragweed even.
It is easy and fun for the entire family!!
One note: This oil sticks to fricking everything it touches. Everything. Your teeth, your fingers, your cooking bowl...everything. Use gloves or your hands will be hash black/green for a week. You fingernails will be awful.
The resulting yield depends on your starting weed quantity. One ounce will generally make enuff oil for 30 stones or so. The oil is very potent and whacks one hell of a high. Even if your weed was shit....use it all in your batch...stems, seeds, leaf...you name it. Grind it good.
You can then take the leftover weed, and run it thru a second 'wash' with alcohol and enjoy yet another round of oil although the yeild will be smaller.
I have run it thru a wash 3 times with happy results.
The finest way to smoke it is to vaporize...but another great reason i luv oil.....
Dip a paper clip in the oil and rub it on a good bud bit. Then smoke it thru a pipe. The oil keeps the weed moist and from burning while heating the THC in the weed. It extends the life of your bud bit very much.
When smoking the oil, don't expose to complete flame but get the flame to where the oil will bubble.
Or place oil in a glass pipe and heat the outside of the pipe with your lighter.
Also, be careful...the resulting oil smoke is far more expansive...far far more expansive and potent :eek: :eek: :eek: ....take a tiny itsy bitsy hit.
Hold it in as long as you can, then exhale thru the nose.
One or 2 good hits is all you will need...even the diehard daily smokers generally need no more than this.
Happy oil cooking.
hi harddon, holysmoker,zandor,nosehit,dell,nosehit,kanman torog, and everybody else who has contributed or is following this post, thanks guys, now i am now even more confused as when i first started lol, my plants are now finishing, i chopped 2 this morning, i have eight left to finish and i estimate another 2 too maybe 6 days for the others to finish, they are finishing pretty much well as they normaly do very sticky and very crystly. there stink whilst trimming them is over powering, and i had to have a break from it twice, i have also taken a couple of pics and will post them when i get chance to download them, i love this plant i truly love it but i need a change, i have been working with it now for over two years so turning some of it into hash or oil could be very welcome, i dont know which one to go for bubble bag or electric tumbler, both will give good results, i must also take into concideration how long will it last, i normaly get about ten ounces when dried out of my room per crop, i need a large amount of my sensi to get me through untill my next crop is finished and cured, i also get a simular amount of trim, could easily use my trim and about 5 onces of good bud, i have seen the links that have been left here and they are very infomative and much appriciated, i like the tumbler for its convienience, and i like the bubblebags becourse they seem to be very popular and well researched, i have tried oil and yes its outstanding, but i am a little worried about chemicle contamination, thanks and i will post those pics soon,........ yours the happy chappie ...........
I was downloaded a video at iMesh.com on how to make hash. when you download the software and are all set up to run type in the search box hash or hashish or cannabis etc.etc. then just double click on any big files over say 15mb
have a look see what you think
P.S. A good source 4 porno clips
hi mates and thanks for your replys, i have allready replyed to this a few days ago, but somehow its not here lol, maybe i was stoned lol, well the choices are tough, i am a little worried about chemicle contamination with making oil, i have tried it in the past and it is first class, hash apeals to me becourse it seems very popular and looks reasonably easy to make, my plants are extreamly frosty and very sticky so they will proberly make good hash stock, they are at the moment finishing, i have chopped 2 down and i expect another 4 today, they look as they normaly do when finishing, i realy dont know what one to go for bags are popular and easy to get hold of yet the tumbler is so conveinent, either way i will be making hash, mmmm i cant wait ...... peace to you all ...........
