Island Of Misfits

[Bubba]

Damn, my head is spinning. The more I read the more lost I am. Big, you need to come and visit. I though all you had to do is boy a press....then press the flowers and done. Looking at GW's grapic and reading Rosters link ...well, I thought this was simple.

That's the large scale diy way. I'm looking at a small all in one rosin press. I think it makes sense to make bubble, then press that. Way smaller needs that pressing buds.


3 min. Qwet seems pretty darn close...

Good idea!





My graphics are how to do it yourself from scratch, which is not necessary if you purchase a system. The mechanics are pretty simple.

The product would you like to end up with determines how you process it. If you were just pressing for dabbing, you wouldn't need a vacuum chamber. It comes in handy for things like QWET, and you wouldn't need it for Rosin unless you were also winterizing it to remove the plant waxes.

I think I need one of these for QWET dealings. Now to read up. How does one utilize this device for "winterizing."

How fun, I been having the best bud ever, numerous choices of flower, oil, hashish, bubble etc. All made with my 2 hands.

They should have invented these tents in the 70's. I can't remember the last time I smoked anything that was just ok. Now if I could just retire and do this full time.

Ok, you have my attention. If It snag one of these, what do I Do with it? I assume it sucks out the alcohol and reclaims it? Bubba needs skooled...

aw c h I t man , I just woke up , shrooms are wearing off , coffee has not kicked in yet , chickens and cats need food and water , can I get back to ya later mi Amigo?

in a nutshell , we make BHO and when the first stage of off gassing is done , which we do by using hot boiling water until the oleoresin is viscous like 5w motor oil , we then place the product n the purge pot and pull a vacuum to remove the remaining gasses , keeping the temps,on the pot at 80-120 degrees…

if that sounds confusing , see first paragraph

we do not reclaim our butane or Everclear like Greywolf does , need to though , saves money for sure

 

[Bubba]

Guess I'm just the opposite (or maybe just weird). I prefer hashish/buds over concentrates, any day.

I know what you mean, but I find I like them "in the mix" when smoking. Same reason I like having 4 or 5 different strains on hand, hash, oil and bubble from different strains etc.

By mixing them, I not only find combinations that are particularly pleasant, and don't get that difficulty getting high from tolerance problem.

Hash and buds are tops for me too, but mixing a puff or two of concentrates can have a place with bud lovers too.

Good morning all you Cool Cats

busy day here sorting eggs

View attachment 284913

My neighbors gave me many eggs over the years in rainbow colors, until they were overwhelmed by hawks and coyotes and other predators. Oh, how I long for a truly fresh egg.

I've not had a drink since high school...done every drug available up until 74...the shiit on the street nowadays is anyone's guess...it does thin out the gene pool...

No street stuff for me since the 70s, when I took anything anyone handed me! How did I survive that? I think by always eating healthy, lots of physical activity and lots of hydration!

 

[Shiloh]

@bigsur51 -- After doing copious amounts of psilocybin, fence jumping in the 70s, I determined it made me paranoid. I'm glad it works for you.

That's what got my attention. Removal and possible reclaiming.

My "evaporation setup" is a square bottom glass container that fits perfectly on top of a radiator style space heater!

@Bubba....you are lucky. My body is saturated with THC that even the best of flowers don't have the effect they used to. I think most of my problem is my lungs can't take big rips anymore. It make me wonder if I have forgot how to grow. Which is not the case...I hope.

My other problems is Mrs Pute doesn't want me in the kitchen cooking and smelling up the house. I need a shot of vodka.

@pute
I have had nothing cannabis since August. I do, however, have Titos. I dose it.

My latest research shows that alcohol has an immediate antidepressant effect. Just be careful. I only drink clear liquor (titos) and lots of water.

My preference is cannabis, but I have no current access to that. No inertia, how depressing.

 

[Bubba]

Lay down a base buzz with edible, then smoke.
I usually start with weakest, (which is strong) and build up with hash at the end at bed time.

I looked at the source and I even think Greywolf tested one so he would have some good inside info

i thought it was waaaaay overpriced and to complicated for my pea brain

i think a simple moonshine type still and one could recapture the Everclear

but better than that , GW has a recipe for making Everclear , makes everything cost effective

speaking of cost , a typical 750 ml bottle of Everclear is about $50 bucks here

we averaged about 10-15 grams of oleoresin from each bottle and since our herbs are free , average price per gram was $5.00 or lower

forget those big rips , what a waste all the way around , especially on the body

how about 10 tiny dabs of shatter and No coughing rather than a lung buster?

works for me…same with smoking a hooter , many small tokes work for me

( I dated a Cherokee once , Many Small Tokes was her name)

I totally agree Too high priced But easy for an ***** to use.
I hate to see some people trying to distill their own 190 proof , they will kill themselves

I just bought (2) 1.75 bottles, just north of 65.00. Do have moonshine still, but don't want to reclaim with it, just need to add tall column and start running sugar wash.

Just how does that Tall column work , does it remove the worm and thumper from the equation?
I have 15.5 gal Kegs that I think I should be able to add a column on too .

 

[Shiloh]

Oh, gosh. Things have become way too pretentious for me. Would love to stay simple. That's just me right now; may change later.

No, clear as a bell. I either need this setup and vacuum pump, or a rosin press. Or both.....
