My pot isn't strong enough

[JSB99]

Its BHO is just a nicer smoke in my opinion... potent as hell, and yes- butane hash oil. Also its faster than makeing the acetone oil, as that takes a few days.

Maybe I'll do another batch with the BHO method and see how it compares.

Quick question for ya (or anyone else reading this), what's the best way to smoke it? I've read hot-knifing is the best. I've got a really good vape (Arizer Extreme) that has 3 x speed forced air and can use a whip or balloon. I've read snippets here and there about vaping hash oil but i haven't seen any really good instructions on how to do this properly.

First, is vaping hash oil a good method (especially compared to hot-knifing or other methods)?

Second, do I drip some oil on my ground herb and vape it that way or do I just put a small candy ball right in the vape bowl and vaporize it by itself? If this is the way, then do I need to have my temps any different than when I vape my smoke?

Third, is it possible to mix hash oil into chocolate, bake the chocolate into treats, and then consume them (or some other variance involving consuming rather than smoking)? I've tried cookies made with cannabis butter and I really didn't care for them (although they did get me plenty high). I have a really bad gag-reflex so any gross tasting doesn't suite me. I'd like to be able to just pop a treat into my mouth without the "earthy" taste and have it kick my ass a half an hour down the road?

Ag drip some on a roling paper, or as I suggested evaporate on some weed, roll a joint.. nothing I love more than a joint.
I guess its suitable for cookies. especialy if you activated it properly with heat as in the tek description.

I took a week off, and before I could smoke 25 poppers (2-3 grams of weed) and that would get me baked.. I quit for a week last month (october) and im back to my normal daily smoking and a .5 gets me in the same state!
Take a week t-break (it was hard as hell) and you'll be back to near-newbie tolerance

Also, names are names.. All seedbanks will call there shit cronic they are in a business..

Have a look at the smoke report section of this website, and go with a 80% + indica strain and don't overveg/overflower your crop.

Yeah, I'll probably end up taking a little time off. It sucks though because I use it for medical purposes daily.

So what I'm gathering is that there's no strain out there (like mazar, AK47, or SourD) that will just kick my ass if I smoked it because of the tolerance I have right now. Is that right?

I would say the acetone probably grabs a larger selection of canniboids.

Although its not specificaly mentioned, I would suggest you use dried acetone... you bake epsom salts in a dish sealed with some foil to keep oils in the oven condensing in there... at 200C for 2 hours, then turn the oven to max temp for another hour (its not quite as good as lab procedure that goes to 800C, but good enough), now pour a bunch of this stuff in the acetone and let it settle... keep acetone sealed and start with a fresh bottle, it takes up water form the air pretty fast. wet acetone is a bitch to dry.

My acetone evaporated really quickly. I used 2 parts acetone to 1 part ground herb. I have a pyrex full of golden oil.

What I did was put a fan blowing across the pyrex plate in a closet I was using for growing. This closet has a 500 cfm exhaust in it. I would say it took about 6 hours to evaporate. I used half an oz.

Now that I have a plate full of hard candy, can I heat it up using a water bath and scrape it into a single pile or is is best to use alcohol to liquify it and then let it evaporate?

violator kush is super super strong. to the couch to sleep strong. try that stuff youll love it.

Try the heat bath, not sure if its gonna work... I guess its just the photo..looks like hard burned carbon, but i'm sure that's a party in a dish.


Thats why I suggested you put some weed in there to let it dry on.

I must have misunderstood what you wrote about putting the weed in with it to dry on. I'll probably switch to the BHO method. This seemed to work pretty well but the other method looks better. But, if I do this again and I put weed in there to soak it up, when do I put the weed in? Won't the existing acetone break it down while it's in there soaking up the oil?

Is hard burned carbon bad? I followed the directions exactly. Is there something wrong with what I've got right now?

What about the alcohol method?

 

[ANC]

no i meant it just looked like carbon... i'ts just the photo...
Go on, try some...

I'll try some tonight and hopefully I'll be too far gone to type about my experience

I pressed some trichs (I hope I'm using the right terminology here) from some weed I ground in my chromium crusher. I didn't have an actual press so I used a pen tube, a drill bit that fit snugly in the tube, and a hammer to pound the bit into the tube. I got a nice little puck.

What's the best method (besides hot knifing it):
1. Stick it directly in my vaporizer and vape it
2. Put some on my regular weed and vape it
3. Smoke it by itself through a pipe
4. smoke it with some weed in a pipe

Same with the hash oil. What's the best way?

 

[ANC]

well in the long term you want to get a small glass oil pipe.

news? anything?

 

[JSB99]

news? anything?

Didn't get a chance to scrape any up. I did cut the puck in half and tried to smoke it with some other weed. It didn't get me any higher than if I just used my vaporizer. But, it may be because I didn't smoke it right. I used my mini-torch lighter to burn it. It would probably work better if I hot-knifed it or used some other method of vaporizing it.

Also tried it in my vaporizer. Didn't do anything.

With the oil I'm going to heat it up in a water bath, scrape it all together, get some on a paperclip while it's still hot, and drip some on some buds.

If I do that, I should be able to smoke that out of a pipe as I normally do, right? Is there anything I should know (like not holding the flame directly on the oil or something like that)?

 

[JSB99]

I've been thinking of a way I could rig up a soldering iron, a couple small metal plates, and a jar or container for holding the vaporized smoke.

Anyone ever put one of these together? Seems like this method would be similar to hot-knifing (just more convenient if I can set it up correctly). Would a soldering iron get hot enough to do this? Seems like it would.

I'll probably mount an alligator clip to the soldering iron and mount the small plates to the clip. Then when it's all heated up I can put the oil on the plates and the clamps will squeeze it together.

 

[jursch420]

vaporizing is the best for u but i get a diffenrent high from both and i think because of the strain it depends that high but idk. look into gettin g a skillet look it up on aqualabtechnologies.com there amazing and u can vap out of a bong and it rips fat

 

[JustAnotherFriedDay]

I would have to say that it's because I have a tolerance. Others who smoke my stash seem to get blown away.

I was just reading an article about oil. I think I'm going to try the The Boffo Butane-PVC Hash Oil Extractor technique here...

http://www.concept420.com/how_to_make_hashoil.htm#fast

What's "BHO"?

After I have extracted my hash oil, is there any technique I should use to store it or do I just keep it in a small jar with a lid at room temperature? Does the potency degrade over time? When I get ready to put some on my weed to smoke, do I just get some on the end of a paper clip and heat up the metal so that the oil drips onto the weed or is there a better way? I am absolutely new to this so any advice you can give would really help out a lot.

So, I'm going to take an oz of my supply and make oil. Because you don't have to use much oil, does that mean that the oil produced will last as long as smoking that oz? In other words, I go through an oz a month. Will I have enough to drip on the weed I'm going to smoke for a month or will that entire oz only produce enough for a few bowls? I'm just trying to see if I even have enough right now to justify going through the effort. If not then I'll probably double my grow so i can start making hash and hash oil (something I was going to do anyways when I built my new grow room).

I don't plan on using the oil every time I smoke, just once or twice a night when I really want to get baked.

I know exactly what you are going through. My first time smoking hash oil was like the first time I smoked weed, or at least very close. That was about two months ago, and I've been smoking 3-8 sessions a day for the past 18 months. My tolerance is very high to say the least.

I peak for about 30 minutes, then start coming down from there. The come down usually increases in intensity the farther away I get from the peak I was once at. I can only go about 2-3 hours after a session without wanting to smoke again quite badly.

Anyways, to work with hash oil I recommend scraping it out with a bent paper clip or keyring. Then, put the hash oil on a tablespoon that you won't be needing every again. Heat the oil from the bottom or top (the bottom will cause the spoon to burn black so for that reason I like to heat it from above).

The thick and sticky oil should become more like a liquid. When you have enough, take a fatty nug and spread it around in the spoon. Make sure not to get any oil on your fingers as it is a huge waste and will smell for a while. Once its on, soap is the only way off.

Anyways, that's it! Enjoy!

Oh, yeah. You can also paint the oil all over a joint or blunt wrap. Works the same way.

P.S. I prefer soaking only the top of the nug in oil and taking my greens hit off that exact spot. Hit it long and hard and hold it in as long as you can. It may feel a little harsh but I believe that's only because you are getting high at such a rapid rate.

It's like comparing a bong rip to a pipe hit in terms of the amount of THC you absorb, except hash oil is that on steroids! Enjoy.

 

[JustAnotherFriedDay]

If you want to smoke the oil straight, just buy a filter for a bowl piece.

 

[hempcurescancer]

I like to switch between vaporizer and bong. I develop a tolerance for one, then switch to the next and it gets me incredibly baked. Also I prefer water bongs to regular ones.

I wonder if this will work better than what I was trying. I tried melting a chunk of it onto some smoke and smoking it that way. I also tried smoking a chunk by itself. That didn't get me any higher than how I usually get.

I'm going to try it again using your method.

I saw videos of people using a cigarette to smoke the oil in a plastic bottle, but I don't smoke and I don't want to inhale any of that smoke. The method looked like it worked really well. I wonder if there's a variance of this technique.
