Who likes concentrates?

[GrumpAzz]

That “honey straw” will give ya bigger tips but also cough more take the vaporizer! - I don’t have that nasty cancer but do have chronic pain and when it’s bad dabs, hash, then I make capsules out of roaches geared towards pain - I’d have a panic attack with my vape pen! Lol even have a new one on stand by just in case

I take those little bucket style quartz nails with the curved neck and break off the bucket. Then I use it like a honey straw, but attached to my big dab rig. Good sized dabs that taste right and don't choke you out.

I've done that with stuff I've broken before, not a bad idea at all I'd just make sure there's no loose glass to suck in on accident, the water helps alot with concentrates.

So I think somewhere in this thread someone was talking about introducing water, during extraction ? Well this last time I could only get my hands on 151 more water right ? After distilling the alcohol off I let the water evaporate naturally just because - I thought the water pulled out unwanted fats a lipids ? So after distilling off the alcohol the trichromes fell out of the water solution - sorry can’t find the pick but here are my end results untested right is the left over water on the silicone pad the alcohol extract is in the container and the last is the stuff to scrape off the bottom of the jar ? Question is will these contain any thc? Who knows

This is pretty much a guess but thc is not water Soluble regularly. So anything that would be thc would be in that alcohol solution. I use 91-99% Isopropyl alcohol to clean my rigs and keep my reclaim. I put a tiny jar of it on a hotplate-style candle wax melter to do a ghetto heat purge on it. Smokeable after it's hard. But vacuum pots work well too. Watch out though I don't think you can use vacuum with alcohol unless the platics in the pump are rated for a polar solvent.

@Moshmen , have you ever seen/heard of 420 Extractor Vodka? I found it in the liquer store next to the Everclear here in CO. Perhaps you can get it?

I have a source turbo - it’s a vacuum/hot plate all in one and usually use food grade 200 ethanol but this time the everclear was the only thing availability so thought we would try - - my guess is the same the water fallout contains no goodies but we will c

This looks interesting.
42O Extractor is a premium neutral grain spirit made specifically for the industry and has proven to provide up to 20% and 30% better yields depending on the extraction process.
I wonder how they managed this?

That might only be available in Colorado. We have Total Wine here and they won't carry it or ship it to Texas. I buy rare bourbons from Liquor Mates sometimes and have them shipped to me but they don't carry it either

 

[IamN2pot]

Sorry guys, I don't know any more about it than what's published. I was just in one of the liquer stores here and right next to the Everclear was the 420 and was $2 cheaper for the 1.75L, so I thought I'd throw it out there. I didn't even think about shipping it, but I guess there are some states where 151 is as pure as it gets for drinking the stuff.

Back in the day, I used Everclear for my Iso 2 Herbal Oil Extractor I've been playing with concentrates for a few years. I'm thinking it was '78-'79ish.

Into concentrates since the late 70s?? You deserve a few medals for getting through the drug war like that.. I'm sure alot of the people here are decorated drug war vets

I can’t have anything over 75% unless it’s food grade ethanol - but they were out - I’ll wait next time although the wax is decent

It’s alcohol content some states such as mine limit alcohol percentages - and I know lots do it but I won’t smoke / make iso sorry only food grade stuff here .

Iso isn't bad if it's properly cleaned after, I wouldn't use it for actual extraction though it's just not the best solvent for it, it's way too harsh. Too much cloryphyll and what not. I only use it to save reclaim from my rig.

Do you smoke it it? - I ask cuz I put ours in capsules and makes a hell of an edible!

I wish I wasn't edi-immune.

Then again, I'm the only person I know who can swollow 900mg THC cap(s) and not feel it. So it's all good!

At 5, 20 and 35 minutes @ 250*F


Mixed with the hemp oil to make desired cap potency. Each #4 cap held .2gr (200mg) of finished oil.

You are not alone. It is a genetic thing. You liver does not produce a necessary protein I believe. I looked this up once, there is an explanation.

Yeah, I've spent WAY to many hours reading internet mumbo-jumbo about it. It all boils down to I CAN'T GET HIGH on ORALS. Try, try and try again expecting a differant result. Wait... LOL!!!! ..."cause I'm a lugnut" ...but it's fun trying

Neither my wife or i feel the effects of edibles. My wife has had her gul bladder removed and ive read that may be her reason

Oh I’m a lot like that I have no idea how many mg’s of thc are in there but I can tell 2 things - most that have taken one have been high for 2 days - and don’t want anymore! Lol and I personally can eat 1000/1500 mg’s from a dispo and nothing so I’m there with ya ! The only way I get buzzed on edibles is if I concentrate and put in caps

You are correct I don’t remember exactly but it’s some enzyme that our liver produces or doesn’t produce can’t remember - just gotta eat more

Hmm... Some one has a new red banned banner. Experimenting continues I see.

 

[steamroller]

I would wonder if alcohol consumption or 'genetics of alcoholism' [ I am both, one only at times] has any relationship since it is liver related.
My buddy and I can down 600mg between the two of us and still dab and smoke two rosin soaked joints at break. One of my other buddies ate two pieces of red velvet cake his daughter made with the Levo and passed out~! We split the last piece between us and a smoked on the way home.
Maybe tolerance has some role? I am rarely high out of my head??

 

[Bandit420]

This looks like a good thread to bring up a hashmaker I once knew.
To an old acquaintance of mine, Frenchy Cannoli. RIP Frenchy!!!

IMHO, If you want to learn true 21st century hash making, spend a few weeks watching Frenchy's tutorial videos. The man could make hash, old school hash. From charos hand rub to bubblewash temple balls. Here is the link to him on google.

Hope this helps some of you. Frenchy was always about helping others.

I've been meaning to circle back to this post for a few days...
I didn't know Frenchy had passed on. This made me so sad.
I met him on Jorge Cervantes's forum back in 2013-14. I would pick his brain and Jorge's brain on all sorts of things. Him hash and Jorge questions about weed like why do some plants bleed red sap and others clear. I loved stumping Jorge with shit like that,
But Frenchy was always patient and helpful no matter how kooky some of my ideas and questions were. I'll never forget one where I wanted to make a hash oil joint dip by using a puck press wrenched down extremely hard and heated in the oven until oil ooozed out of it. I'll never forget his response..."There's easier ways to make hash oil than that". He was kind and noble when he coulda said Man WTF are you thinking you dipshit? And he proceeded to walk me thru how to do thing right. I still make canollis from time to time when I do a dry sift thinking of things he taught me and getting me to finally realize great hash can be had with nothing but heat and pressure.

Yep same here I smoke concentrate mostly for pain I got like 8or 10 fucked up disc , blessed to still be moving - anyways after the first couple joints or dabs it’s over - I still get the pain relieve actually feeling high ? Not so much

They were what you call on the DL[ Down Low] as I saw it.
A missed and hidden gem we now all can see and enjoy~!
I never actually followed anyone, but I selectively read from many that here now. I would follow the originators of this form into fire~!

No that was all on Jorge Cervantes's old forum. It's offline now but there's a screenshot still left over



At it's peak, it was the best forum around IMO. Jorge was active. Frenchy was there. A few top line breeders and cannabis cup insiders. Lots of really good growers. Commercial guys with 12' monsters. More outdoor growers than anything. Just a very cool place to hang with other growers. Everybody had baddass game in the garden. Not many newbs but understandable because the company was intimidating being among the who's who of cannabis world. But if a newb did ask anything they always got real deal great advice, no broscience and fakes got called to floor and ran off.

After Jorge got his encyclopedia published and moved back to Spain it floundered. One guy was a very miserable and nasty man troll which brought down the good vibes. People left in droves then with nobody watching the door, it was spammed to death.

After that forum we moved to one hosted in the UK. Fun at first then slowly died off. Then it was on to the Farm but by then the Farm was nothing like what it once was and now we're here!
I kept a sorta low profile on the Farm. A lot of it just wasn't what I enjoyed about forums so I stayed low and pretty much kept to a small circle of folks. I wouldn't help people or share much about anything I do. The vibe was just off there.

man his canolis were legendary, wern't they?!? always with a happy smile too. no matter how many people asked him the same question he was always pleasant, patient, and quick with a small joke to keep it light!!
