Yep your bag is different, I know you do not take my advise or even value it, but if it were me , I would just get a new bag. You can still wash that bag out for reuse. I would not try to save any of the nasty crap that washes out. I bet the plastic fitting comes off of that bag somehow.
(*snicker*) Don't count yourself out, son. Your thought was helpfully intended -- and appreciated. The cost of a new bag is minimal.

"I would not try to save any of the nasty crap that washes out."

(*double snickersnork*) But that wuz the whole reason for the fargin discussion in the first place. Some folks here recover that nasty crap and make funsmoke out of it.

Since my access to weed is essentially zilch for the weirdest reason you could conceive, I was sorta intrigued by a mention of "nasty crap" recovery.

Frankly, it looks like a shitload more trubble and EverClear expense than it is worth to me (so far). The professionals here dabble in stuff every day that I have not seen since Chemistry Class in 1957.
 
Then replace with cheaper oven bags

Holy moly!! That is wonderful info. Unfortunately, I guess I must be either filthy rich, or do not have the same sense of what is icky as the folks making that video.

Didja see the fargin bag they were throwing away??? Sumbitch is brand-fargin-new! Why change out a bag with a faint tinge of tan at the end? Mine is nearly black -- for the first ten inches or so.

That brings me to the proper solution to this exercise.

If folks feel the bag is no good anymore if some slight coloration on a small portion becomes visible... I can see why they would use cheap(er) oven bags and play take-apart games. They'd have to mortgage their children to pay for new bags every day.

But since I am a gutter-wretch, even by oven-bag-switchout standards, I discover I'm a quantum leap more cost-conscious in the first place.

It becomes evident that about $30 a fifth for the alcohol, and lord only knows how much $$ for the ion-compressors, barometric isometers, or whatever mystic, abstruse, recondite procedures they commonly use and discuss... is not worth my sludge recovery.

I thank all for your timely help. When the bag gets too leaky from use, I will save it and will it to my estate.
 
I don’t think it would be healthy to smoke that built up stuff you been blowing back in that bag for a year.
but you could turn it inside out and boil it like a big nasty tea bag. Should taste delicious…😳
When I am out there in the Arena sand again, doing the "Avē Imperātor, moritūrī tē salūtant" thing with my spatha hanging out, I'll try that tea pick-me-up. Not. ;)

I was actually joking about salvaging the bag coating after rebreathing the vapor until the bags turned clear. That said, the material coating the inside of your bag would typically be the higher boiling point constituents, that condense out first, so the C-22 constituents and above. IE: C-22 cannabinoids, C-30 plant waxes, C-40 b-Carotene, C-55 pheophytin.

It will be more sedative than psychoactive.

If you heat the 190 proof ethanol to around 150F, it will dissolve the resin inside your bag faster. It should easily wash out with the hot alcohol.

If you place the resulting alcohol solution in the freezer for 24 hours, the heavier nonpolar constituents will precipitate, so that they can be filtered out with a coffee filter.

If you then place the solution in a shallow dish and allow it to evaporate, you will have the recovered resin left behind.
TOG--
Clear, operational, good instructions.

Wasted on a farraginous, pertubated klutz like me. I fer sure doan need no more sedative. I be sedate, mang.

Pop the inner clear ring out of the inside of the orange piece and you can replace the bag like factory new.
Or conversely you can just purchase their made to be replaced mouthpiece like here.

Do you have every
Oh yeah? When I wuz in 7th grade, I was a card-carrying member of The Man From U.N.C.L.E. <-- My card said I was in the Camoflage and Deception Unit. TINS
I had all that, and his brief case with gun, decoder, etc inside. If you opened it with out knowing how, it fired a greenie stickem cap!

Lots of work
 
Good morning rasty old farts and kindly fartesses!

We were highly advanced in the small town where I grew up in Oklahoma and I was actually a badge carrying member of the crossing guard in the 5th grade. We had to be stronger at a younger age in those days!
We should form a Safety Badge Club, anyone else still have their badge, I had to give mine back.
 
walt, can I send you a roll of new bags and something to fill 'em with...you really don't need to do all that craap...
The best idea of all of them. No need in all that other crap. Smoke fresh weed and leave that nasty crap alone.
Bigs a good guy and has a big heart. He just doesn't know the Earth is round yet.😁

At least the one video shows you how to change out the plastic endy thing you ask about. Good Morning in my friendly voice and have a lovely day.
 
I have a Badge. And all that fker does is get me past the Marshalls where I can get in Government buildings past the metal detector and harassment where I can fking work.
I guess I could arrest somebody with it but I would probably go to jail or get my ass kicked by the Marshalls.😁

That's of course a matter of perspective, based on its utility and the availability of the alternatives. Most of us have smoked pipe resin at one point or another and was glad to have it.

I recover the condensed resin from my vapor pipe and usually donate it to someone seeking sleep meds. There is no real contamination involved, as the resin was simply vaporized and recondensed.

The resin from cannabis that has been smoked is insalubrious, as it contains the biproducts of pyrolysis, some of which are carcinogenic.

Yes, but you are Mr Science compared to everyone here.
You love getting it the dirt when it comes to a room full of Lab Glass.
