Extracting Oil From Bubble Hash Tutorial

Good Afternoon,

Today, I decided to run some 73u, mixed with some kief and shake...loosely packed.

Pic of the tube,


Note the coffee filter packed first, if I were to pack all the way to the top without the filter in place the solvent would not contact the material in that location.

*MAKE SURE YOUR BUBBLE IS MICRO-PLAINED AND BONE DRY. *
Particularly with bubble at 80 or less micron.

This is because at 70u.. The hash is VERY resinous and will block the flow of solvent in the tube and resulting in a blow-out, if not through the bottom, it's coming out of the top....with so much pressure, it must escape one way or another.

This run is actually in progress, blasting on my lunch break, not because I NEED oil, but I fucking love the process, when done correctly, making oil is really a hobby and should be enjoyable.

Here are some teaser shots, around 10 minutes after the spray.
(High Times Magazine under the glass, made an awesome image)



Some purdy gold oily goodness





Will update when done.

Update..

^ That is a nice slab o'errrl.haha..

Glowing shatter?...whaaaa?


Very glassy...

Heck yeah man, good times!

This oil brought to you by Pyrex!!!

I just wanted to wish all of the Colorado” crew”

A Happy fuckin Friday!

Been a real long week...gonna dab myself into comatose when I get home tonight.

I also wanted disclose what I take my photographs with...

8 mp phone...lol

Sometimes it takes 10-15 shots to get a” acceptable image”

I'm too particular sometimes, lol

Good day Colorado RIU.

Just wanted to add pics to my thread regarding hash and hash oil.
*pretty much as a portfolio for my extractions*
73u Bubble
Day 1 immediately after collection, still wet.

Day 2, Starting to dry and take on color after 24 hours, maybes less..16 hours after collection?

No flash

Flash, day 2 still

Day 3

No flash

looks reallygood man

Bloody wonderful bud. Nice to meet you the other day. Glad I could get u some of the new new!

Hey guys Wats up.
Sir those oil shots looks amazing.
Gonna try my hand at iso for the first time... Does the bud need to be dry to make oil, hash, or butter?
Thanks in advance.

Thank you for the kind words Chef, as stated, truly an honor to meet you and now posses beans from one of the best of the best.

@Sweetest,
Thank you for your kind words as well. And thanks for stoping in.
For QWISO, or iso hash oil, the debate to use fresh frozen material vs dried, cured and frozen material is kinda subjective
to the oil maker.

In other words, some folks swear by fresh material, and some the opposite.

Unfortunately, I'm the wrong guy to ask about iso extractions, very little experience with iso.

I can give you the tips I've learned in general research of concentrates, which I haves picked up while researching concentrating.
1) use 91% or higher,99% is preferred.
2) Deep freeze your iso, and the plant material at least 4 hours prior to extraction, preferably 48 hours.
*This will increase the quality of your oil*
The freezing step ties up polar compounds in the form of ice.
3) Wash times..contact between plant material and solvent should not exceed 30seconds.
4) I like to use a swirling motion as opposed to shaking, shaking is too violent and will turn your oil green if too aggressive 5) You want to have at least 2 different filters,
*one should be stainless steel mesh with somewhat larger holes
-^ this will be used to separate the plant material from the solvent as quickly as possible.
(You do not want the plant matter sitting in your filter while draining)
6) a regular coffee filter for final filtration
What I do..
Plant material is frozen in mason jar (I make room in the freezer to do the extraction in the freezer to keep things cold as possible) Add iso to jar, just enough to reach the top of plant material. The second the iso is added*time is now very critical, work fast, but plan ahead so things go smoothly.)
Okay, as soon as the iso is in, count out loud to 25 second while swirling the mixture, when you get to 25, use the metal strainer to separate the iso and leaf quickly.
I personally strain this right into a pyrex measuring cup (with pour spout)
Again.. I'm doing this in the freezer.

I'll come back and post a pic of my set-up.

But you'll want to have a set up, where you can do hands-free filtering.

So now I've got an amber colored liquid in my measuring cup, best quality will resemble whiskey in color, yellow, gold is good also...imo, green is no good, washed too long.

This liquid is then poured through a minimum of one (unbleached) coffee filter, some iso-pros will filter multiple times.

After filters, the solution is poured into a pyrex, pan, and the iso needs to evaporate away.

You could do this many ways, just be sure to stay away from open sparks/flame.

Personally, I set mine on a heating pad, with a fan blowing over the top...never exceed temps over 140°
As terpenes and medicinal oils are being boiled away over 150°.

Save them terps, they have nice flavors, and provide medical benefits

Uhhh..
Oh, after complete evaporation you make collect your product via razor blade, contingent upon your evaporation method, you may end up with a crystalline powder, or a glassy hard texture, sometimes waxy.

If you end up with a powder, you can place that powder into parchment paper, and fold it, then using your finger heat, press and hold until the powder melts together.

It takes some practice, but once you've acquired the feel for it, it's fairly easy.

And you can wash the same material multiple times, with each wash, the quality drops.

So, I usually combine washes 1& 2, and combine 3& 4

Some do each wash separately.

That's all I know about iso, but as I said.. I'm not very experienced with it...hope this helps anyhow.

Cure update. Day #4
Getting darker and oilier




This shit pressed and melted together already within seconds of only using finger-heat. But I broke it back down as to not interfere with the cure.

So, I took what I made, and still made some shatter...

But, this is Ice Water Shatter..the aroma is nuts.






















Thanks for stoping by, this hash is incredible, dabs clean off the nail, and melts like chocolate.

Sir_dabs had found a new love.

Here is a bad-ass list of the properties held within the essential oils of the cannabis plant.
