How are you guys cleaning your bubble bags after using them? I was thinking the screen could clog after a few uses if not cleaned but I'm not sure what the best method would be

freeze the bags and the bulk of the hash should flake off... the rest wash with isopropyl alcohol and then room temp water to get rid of the residual isopropyl.

I wouldn't recommend that.
Just rinse them with cold water immediately after, that is all you need.
This thread made me find an old picture I hadn't seen in years, I think this is from 2004. It was made with some Frostbite, it had some very interesting trichomes, the 73u and 25u bag were practically empty, and the 120u bag was full of this full melt, back then we'd call this FMCD (Full Melt Clear Dome)

your trick wont work if he already let the hash dry on the screen. but oh well to each his own.

It's ok to use iso occasionally to clean your bags...but it's best to keep them clean with water as soon as you are finished removing the hash from the bag. Iso will break down your screens after a while.

Great discussion all. I spray my bags right after use, even put in a 1/2" water line for better pressure. Once a month or so I use iso to clean them.

True, if there is already dry hash on the screen you'll need some iso to wash it away. I've always washed them with cold water immediately after scrapping up all the trichomes and have never needed to use iso to clean them. I've cleaned my pressing screens with iso quite a few times though.

yeah I totally agree, sometimes I get a little lazy with that since I have to get water from outside the office I use to make hash. if I made the system more efficient I would probably do it every time.
Just a few quick question Matt, is there an optimal temp that the surroundings of the machine should be? If store bought ice is not good ice, what's the best way to get/make ice for the best results? Is there a specific pH for the water that would produce the best quality? Idk if the pH would effect the quality whatsoever, but it would be interesting to test it!

Just finished my first run with what I've learned from this thread
Thanks alot Matt. I just ordered a 5-bag set from bubblebag dude on ebay. 220-160-120-75-20. I got the most product from the 75 micron bag. I'm really happy with the results and can't wait for another run. I'm in the process of drying it out and getting it ready for the grind. I'll post some pics when finished.

A fucking worm could tell that this is the TRUE 5 star thread and all of the other concentrate threads are inferior. Rize Up!!!! make this shit 5 stars guys. then again theres something SO not right about that, im actually wondering if ours votes even register.....

Matt Wanted to say thanks so much for posting this brah. I love hash and have been smoking a lot of BHO honeycomb and shatter and its been a little harsh on the old lungs, after reading a bunch of this thread I decided to try my hand at ice wax. I have made a bit of bubble hash and I wouldn't say that I was very impressed with the results, but I knew very little about making the hash at the time. Then I discovered BHO and learned everything I could about making BHO and bubble took a back seat now I have tried a bit of ice wax from a friend who brought some down from Santa Rosa. Anyway I wanted to post where I am so far in the process on my first try now this is the last of my trim for 5 weeks so if you could help me with this next part I would greatly appreciate some more advice because it kind of get a little cloudy from this point.
OK so
1. ran the trim threw my machine and bags
2. collected product
3. cleaned my bag and machine while I let the hash dry on the screen
4. the next morning I grated the hash with a microplane grate
5. Now I have the crumbled hash laid out on parchment paper to let it fish drying all the way.
so from here this is what I don't understand completely
after its dry I put it in the hash curing jar right
A) for how long
B) some one told me I need to cure it in the freezer to get it to finish but I am not sure what to do???
This stuff looks and smells so awesome at this point I just don't want to F*ck it up! Thanks again for all your Knowledge the lungs thank you!
the first one is the 160-45. 0ther is the 160 its looks to good to cook with!

Put the hash in a small jar and carry it around in your pocket for 24 hours or more if needed. the ideal cure for ice wax happens at around the 100 degree temperature range. you could also put the jar on a hotplate set at 100 degrees for 24 hours or so. if you do this you HAVE TO make sure that you never let it get any hotter than 100 degrees Fahrenhiet or your hash will start to melt.
