Dry ice hash to concentrate

All my stuff came and I got to it right after work. I tried to work in the freezer as much as possible. First had to rig up my screen (25 micron) in my funnel, used two pinch clips for paper to hold it in place. Put on latex gloves then an insulated glove on the shaking hand. Poured the iso into the hash jar and shook for 25 seconds. Put funnel on iso jar. Poured as much as I could without going over screen. One problem I see so far is, although the plant matter won't go through the screen it is fine enough that it slows the draining process down......alot. so I took a spoon and stirred the goop around so it can drain. Did this until I finished the jar and closed the freezer lid. Came back 20 minutes later and it was basically drained. It has a slight tint of green. Problem two I see is it takes so long to drain I am picking up some chlorophyll. I poured the iso into the clean silicone baking pan, put some cheese cloth over it for dust, plugged in the seed mat, and put the fan on low blowing over the pan.
That was Tuesday, almost all the iso has evaporated as of today

I have a question which I hope is germane to the conversation: I just made RSO with Everclear (which I think is what alltatup made and simply called 'oil'). Is there an easy way to make something vape-able from that, or is dabbing the way to go?
 
I'm not the person ask, sorry. I've only ever done rosin, live resin, and wax like bho, pho, CO2, etc. This is my first try at making anything concentrate other than butter, which come to find out does zero for me.
 
Mh, I have vaped the oil on the oil pad that comes with my vaporizer. It's quite nice. I tried dabbing some, but I think that was too much heat for the oil.
 
Does zero? How did you take it? You gotta experiment and find the right method of delivery and the right amount. Unless it plain old don't work.....
 
I've tried several times over the years, even double strength batches, eating four times as much, your leaf cooking experiment.....nothing. the only time was when I was 17ish and me and a buddy ate a whole pan with an oz of shwag in it. I felt like I was extremely exhausted while trying to walk around an amusement park.
 
I have the Storz and Bickel Plenty, and I think it's an excellent little machine. It has a really big space to pack with herb, so you can share with 3 other people and all get high.
 
I stopped even trying edibles. They affect different receptors in the body than smoking/vaping , and, if they work, the high I get just isn't as nice. To add to that, it's affected by 'way too many variables-- the strain (usually unknown), the strength (even if correctly made and measured, it can affect me differently than someone else), and how much food I ate and how recently I ate it. Consuming an edible and then finally coming onto it three hours later can be a problem...
 
I agree with you. The only way I want to mess with edibles is early in the morning in small amounts. I'm learning how to do it right with the leaves, cuz I had a real negative experience some years back. I don't want to be surprised in 3 hours, either.
 
Completely forgot about this! So my wax is a failure but learned a little something for next time. Since it drained so slow it picked up some chlorophyll but other than that, it is a dark brown color. No iso smell though. Next time I will resift the 160 and 220 through the 73 to remove as much plant matter as possible. Also thinking probably should split it. Then wash one with previous method and one where I pour the iso over the sift through the screen.
alltatup what ethanol do you use? I read something about cleaning up iso extracts with ethanol to percipitate the unwanteds out of the frozen solution.

I use Everclear PGA. I'm fortunate that they sell the 190 proof where I live. And I'm so thrilled to discover that the RSO I made from evaporating some tincture kicks butt when taken sublingually. I dabbed some right after I first made it, but the effects are so superior from just eating it.
 
So I tried a quick wash with iso and got this. It’s almost flavourless. A bit like hash, smells like hash. Gave me a nice high and very easy on lungs. I used trimmed bud and only washed for about 15-20sec. First time I have tried anything like it and it’s actually decent

That looks so much better than mine, Nice work! I should try making it with some larfy buds. I think mine has solids that can be removed if I find a wash for it. It smells like hash and has a rosin consistency.
 
I don’t really know anything bout this stuff. Just had a jar of well cured outdoor larfy buds and gave it a try. Everything was at room temp I used a half (open) bottle of (91% 🤭) iso dumped enough to cover material (mostly. Placed a 25 micron screen over jar, put lid ring on to secure screen agitated it a bit and turned it over draining into a glass dish covered with another screen. Put it on the bar in the basement directly under a heat vent in the ceiling and I actually forgot about it until the next week.
