After my harvest, I had a shit load of larf and trim. As we all know, when life gives you shitty larfy plants you bubble that shit and get high.

The only problem is that now I have a bunch of grade A full melt hash and no way to smoke it. I don’t dab, I don’t vape, so I’m stuck rolling super joints that get you higher than the Apollo 11. Looking for a hash pipe- a real one that won’t just melt your hash down the pipe- returns exactly one result. It’s fine but not what I’m looking for. I think I’m going to craft one, I’ll let you know how it goes.

Anyway, hash! Love it? Never tried it? I’m sure nobody hates it but if you’re a chronic contrarian tell me about how wrong I am!

    Hey bizzle. I discovered the art of bubble hash making this year and love it. I’m not a grower so I only process an oz of cheap shake I bought online at a time. I shake it up in mason jars and strain with bubble bags. Its so economical compared to buying mid grade bud if you just want to get high or relief.

    Its a bit of a laborious process. The marson jar shaking gets tiring. Would like to automate the mixing somehow. After a while I stopped using all the layers of bubble bags and just collect all of it with the finest bag. I had a hard time keeping all the different hash grades seperate. Also, Im lazy and couldn’t care less if my hash is full melt or not.

    Each time I learned something and now it feels like I can wring just about every trichrome and oil crystal out of an OZ with maximum efficiency.

    Dynavap was my go to with bubble hash. It has no batteries you can butane torch it (not a regular bic lighter, a jet flame torch) or use electric induction heater. It will get hot enough to properly vaporize the hash. The metal dynavaps are indestructible but I like the glass ones for thermal insulation can’t stand my fingers getting hot.

    If you just want to try dynavap and can tolerate silicone I recommend the B for its great entry price point. Some people like the dynavap experience some dont so you’ll have t just try it if you are interested and see if its your thing. At least with B if you decide its not your thing not much money was lost (they have an awesome return policy too). I personally love the dynavap, it completely changed my vaporizer experience.

    Ive never tried the dynacoil just put my hash balls by themselves in the chamber. A lot of reclaim does get built up inside, I’m not sure if a dynacoil would help catch some of that or if thats just the nature of smoking hash loaded with oil.

    These days I found that the best way to vape hash is to put it in some vape wool or Japanese cotton, and put that in the one hitter mod for extremeq desktop vape. The first hit or two is a warm up to get the hash ball malleable, then you take the vape wool ball eith hash inside back out, rip open the ball and spread the hash all around the wool vastly increasing its surface area. After that you put the hash back in and it starts cranking out the vapor.

    As for edibles, I recently made some infused coconut oil pill capsules and have been loving them. When I started out with edibles using regular butter I made lots of butter popcorn and rice crispy treats. I like the pill a caps a lot more since you can just dose them daily without any cooking involved. Its a process getting them filled up though.

    Here’s the oil/butter making guide I trust. You’ll hear 10,000 different opinions on making cannabutter/oil. Differing oven decarb temp, time spent infusing, whether to use a crock pot, double boiler, or simmer on a skillet. whether or not to put lecithin in.

    IMO the world works in averages. The particular process and exact timing isnt as important as its hyped up to be. As long as the good stuff is activated, gets in the oil, and isnt overcooked into cbd/cbn, you are golden. How you do that doesnt matter that much, so do what you think is best with the cooking appliances you have on hand and learn from the process.

      I feel you so much, I’m mixing in 5gal bubble bags and holy cow it sure takes some elbow grease. The dynavap looks so rad that I might end up facing my fear of torch lighters and going for it. The gel caps is a sweet idea and may be nice to have on hand 🤔

        If you decide to get a Dyna, you can start off with a cheap hand torch for a month or two to decide if you like it enough to spend on a more expensive induction heater. The Dynacup IH is 55-65$ USD and the inspire wand is often on sale for 90-100$usd on dynavap site. I share your concerns about fire and dont like filling butane so I went for the wand as first upgrade.
