I've used the coffee filter method several times, and it usually works pretty well. I just finished cleaning my bowl, and I got a ball of resin about the size and shape of an m&m. There was one time I had a little trouble with it. Usually I just put some water in a bowl, microwave it for about 4-5 minutes, till it almost boils, then put my piece(s) in and let them soak for about 20 minutes, shaking and scraping them once in a while to break up the resin. However, one time the water cooled down too quickly, so I put the water back in the microwave, with the pieces still in it, and nuked it for another 5 minutes. When I looked, I saw a thick, oily film on the surface of the water, and as I pulled my pieces out, they were coated in the sticky substance, and for about a week the residue would get all over my hand when i smoked. I'm not sure what caused this slime, as it only happened that one time when I reheated the water. My point is, I wouldn't recommend bringing the water to a boil with your piece in it.
Also, why so many people dislike resin is beyond me. Sure, it doesn't taste good, but it's pretty damn potent and gets you high, and when you're on a budget or a poor college student, or just can't find any smoke, it's a damn good backup.
Toke it up, man. :bigsmoke:

P.S. Try smoking the resin with a bong, you can get mean rips and it's much less harsh IMO.
Shmoke Reviewed by Shmoke on . Help With Resin I always see my friends scrape their bowls and just roll the resin in their fingers and eventually if becomes a nice even ball of res. Everytime I try to scrape number one, it becomes a powder, and number two, when I roll it with my fingers it just falls apart even worse. Is there a certain method to doing this? Like wetting it or heating it up first? I'd really appreciate the help. Thanks. Rating: 5
