My industrial strength hash oil extractor!

[Coelho]

Well... right now i just finished to scrape the hash oil i made... and remembering the previous times i did it, i see that my estimate in the post above (5-6mm) was too low indeed. This time i used about 1/8 of weed and got a ball with 9mm of diameter. Which is the usual amount i get when i use 1/8.

Maybe it's just my oil but I noticed it's pretty harsh when most of it's vaporized off. The first time I used the oil it actually caught on fire and had a small blue capped flame (this was of course after torching it because I had pretty much already killed what was there). I guess I still had some butane in there or the turpenoids in the hash oil ignited. Whatever it was harsh as hell! So I just use a little water pipe I have. It's like a micro bong; bigger than a bubbler and in true water piper form but they couldn't possibly make it any smaller. So I pack a little bit of bud in and run a drop of oil onto the rim of the bowl. The heat from the burning bud keeps the oil vaporizing. May seem a little wasteful but it works pretty good.

Thanks for the heads up on getting back all that oil, Coelho!

So am i right in understanding that apparently FreeThePot got more stoned of that .35 of hash oil than he would of if he had smoked the 7g of weed?

You can only burn something so many times before its all gone?


this will be the thing that makes me decide if im going to be making it or not

No, no. The idea of the extraction is to remove as much of the cannabinoids (turpenoids) as possible from the plant material to produce a concentrated form. Hash oil is just easier to use than bud. Technically the raw bud would be more potent - if you could activate all the cannibinoids at once. The butane is very unlikely to extract all the cannabinoids but when comparing volume for volume the oil is far more potent than the bud. In fact, I rolled the post-extraction bud and it did in fact still get me high (although it was considerably weak, but not a bad smoke). If you're on a bud budget I would be wary of trying to extract hash oil until some more green (of either kind) is available.
