Vacuum issues with bubblebags

I just started using bubble bags to make ice hash and I keep having vacuum issues stopping the flow through the mesh. Anyone have the same problem or have suggestions. Thanks

Sieve it like you’re panning for gold. Use a pump sprayer with water to push it through the mesh. If the mesh gets clogged up you can also wash them in alcohol.

Thanks for the input. Will give it a try.

I found frenchie to be the best source of information.

And even though Frenchie's wife is selling all that crap, Frenchie, to my knowledge, never used a vacuum. Put the product in the bag, dump dry ice on it and shake around, then find a place to shake out the tricomes. Scoop it up, get some turkey oven bag and cut a piece. Put the kief onto the bag piece. Then take an empty clear wine bottle 1.5 liters and fill it with boiling water. Close the bag over the kief and gently roll the bottle with hot water over your kief. After about 20 minutes, turning and rolling over, you should see some darker stain on the kief. That is the tricomes melting. You may need to do this several times (reading and re-reading this late fact, thanks for holding back Frenchie).

No vacuum EVER needed.

Is your final bag smaller than 70u? The best trichomes will be caught in the 90u-150u bags...I dont even bother using a bag finer than 70u because it drains extremely slow and the trichome head quality is not very good at this size.

you're probably lifting all the bags at once
try lifting once at a time, spray the trichs with cold water from the edges of the bag down, then shake the water out, scoop it out, put the empty bag aside and repeat

if you lift all of them at once the finest mesh will restrict all the flow and it will feel like you're trying to lift all the water inside, which is whats happening

once you do them one by one, spraying down the trics with cold water (which helps on cleanup) and you get to those last 2 bags, shake them up and down to clear the screen every few seconds and it will get much lighter
