hyroot is 100% correct. dry ice is no good. no melt. no go.
rosin and ice water extract is where it's at!

Amen.
and don't forget about dry sift!
imo dry sift is even a step up above water hash and rosin.

Yeah but down here in So Cal I need a dedicated 50 F degree room to hang and slow dry flowers and cure flowers. I would love to be able to make the same quality dry sift as my bubble. Until I move into a larger house. Or get a facility that's not going to happen.
I've tried making sift in a cold environment several times. I'm convinced now that the flowers and have to hang and cure in the same environment and never be exposed to anything different.

I guess I'm lucky to live in a dry part of Canada for that aspect.
but I haven't done any special cure or dry to do my sifting and have had decent success in 60-70 degree temps. I just let them hang to dry for longer time than I would before they would normally go in the jar.
I have yet to get my winter sift on.

I like to top bowls with hash. There's flowers beneath so.....

Contaminants like flowers? Mine definitely does but I wasn't gentle at all.

Contaminants like leaf matter. IMO the purpose of making a concentrate is to obtain the purest product. I want pure heads, or the oil extracted from those heads under heat and pressure.
When you dry ice sift, you pulverize that leaf mater into particles so small it's damn near impossible to separate it from the trichome heads you've also knocked off. Not a pure end product.

Totally agreed.
It just works for my intended use. Tried to dab some and was shocked at how much plant material was left as ash. It dabbed, kinda.
I used a 73mic bag only. My biggest thing was how quick and easy it was for what I got. Don't got a lot of extra time with a teenage son and a wife in kidney failure.
Again, I love me some pure dabs, but everything has it's place imo.
Edit : Gonna try qwizo or butter with my remnants

Wish I could get this from dry ice.

As a matter of fact, I had a buddy show me how to do that this last weekend with a hair straightener. He used, not even dry sift, but the bottom of his trimming bins sifted through a kitchen sifter. Was impressed with the effect but not the yield.
Was thinking of trying it myself but have no hot plates yet.
I'm a curious kind of guy.

I use t shirt printing screens. 110 lpi on the top and 195 lpi on the bottom. Not to be confused with micron.
Poconoscreen got the hookup or one can source locally from a printing supply shop. Don't pay insane markups like $100 per screen.

Get yourself a hair straightener, and your going to need something to contain your dry ice sift in. Like a 25 micron blotting screen or some people use tea bags. Then pack a gram or so, in your screen wrap it so it's a tight little ball place it in between some parchment and squeeze the shit out of it with the hair straightener. You'll get some better yields than your buddy did with his trimmings.

We've been through this. Won't re-hash it with you. Pun intended.
I will allow that you are correct, dry ice has is not "pure" as in 100%. But I maintain that it comes in at a very acceptable level of purity. Maybe not as high as rosin, but rosin if far from 100% pure too.
I never meant to say that rosin or bubble was dangerous. I was referring to BHO and other solvent methods, which I think is obvious to even the simplest of simpletons. And to say that dry ice produces the lowest quality is simply not true, which you also know. Such is dependent on the skill with which it is produced, which is true for all methods.

You agree that dry ice is no good then go on to say that dry sift is even better than rosin and water hash?
Are you high? lol
Dry ice IS a variation of dry sift. The result is very much the same, particularly in purity.

Same thing with rosin, only to a lesser degree. When you press (crush) the bud you can be certain that particulate will end up in the final product. You may not be able to see it all, but it is there. Just crushed finer. It may be purer than a lot of methods but it is far from "pure".
