The Oil Dome/Skillet Lovers Thread!

Wat.

When you burn concentrates like hash with direct flame you end up wasting a good amount. Its not inefficient, in fact, its quite the opposite.
 
Maybe I just missed a lot of the smoke?


Theres other ways to light your bowls, a lot cheaper than a dome too lol. Try a glass rod, heated with a torch.


I just put it on top of a little bit of weed though, a half second of flame (or less) is all you need and it will melt away and you get a perfect hit of hash


then you hit the honeycombed weed afterwards
 
Heated glass rods are fine but you still need a device to smoke it out of. I own a glass tube/glass rod type hash piece, and while it nice, its definitely more work than a skillet or oil dome and I definitely lose more smoke.

Your method may be fine for you, but the truth is if you use direct flame to smoke concentrates, youre wasting product. Plain and simple.
 
You dont need to freeze it for that long. I never put mine in the freezer for longer than 20 minutes at a time at first, because you still need to purge it via whipping and heat. Its going to bubble for a while, youll know that its done purging when bubbling is coming to a close. Itll be quicker depening on how often you whip it up.

It reacts to room temperatures though. When you let it sit outside itll turn to a liquid at first and when you freeze it itll turn to a nice rock. In room temp its maleable, and if you whipped it up and let it purge correctly will end up being very maleable and easy to free-form. Fair warning, its going to get everywhere if you choose to touch it. I suggest picking up one of those dentist scraper tools (pickers as some call them), and use that to play with it. Those are also great for taking rips on your concentrate piece.

That kettle curve is too insane! I must get one.
 
Currently I own a titanium skillet for my off brand piece and I recently bought an oil dome + glass nail for my weed star piece. I've smoked BHO out of both and I prefer the oil dome and nail over the skillet. It seems the skillet you really have to rip hard throughout the whole hit to not waste any and with the nail and oil dome you don't have you hit so hard. Problem could be I'm using a better set up with the oil dome and nail because my two different bongs have different joint sizes. Sadly I don't own a connector piece thing to change the size.
 
so I know this thread is about domes and skillets but has anyone tried hitting a health stone?

If you don't know how it works, you just put a dab onto the top of the stone and then light it like a normal bowl (I use a torch, i'm not sure if a lighter would work). The stone is 100% inert and cools down instantly; you can touch it 5 or 10 seconds after torching it and it will be cool. My only concern is breathing in butane fumes when hitting it? not sure if that's something to really worry about though
 
Stone reminds me of lighting hash on hookah coals and chasing the dragon, but there is no chasing.

Use a beeline with the stone (continuous lighting).
 
I <3 my skillet!!! Waxes are the best IMO.

Most of the country is missing out IMO; I've only seen a skillet used in California. %)

They can fit in all bongs, just remove the downstem and stick it in - of course making sure they fit size wise (14mm, 16mm, etc).

If you have an 18mm downstem, and a 14mm skillet piece, you can just buy a very affordable 18/14 converter for less than $10.

It's exceedingly easy to miss a HUGE amount of the vapor when you're hitting a skillet. You have to start inhaling before you start dabbing, and only right before then so you can get a huge hit.

You also need the correct kind of dabber so it's easier to smash down the hit on the skillet with the least amount of the dabber sticking to it.

You also need to swing the skillet and start your hit kind of quickly, otherwise the skillet won't be fully hot and it won't vaporize instantly and it won't be the same type of experience.

Of course this is super mega awesome x infinity...

But I am faced with a problem! All I have is brown hash! So I was wondering if there was any way I can turn this black hash into BHO, and if so, can someone instruct me how to do so, please? If not, tips on what I should do with my new piece of glass and wonderful brown hash. (And here's the product I'm working with)

My friend brought hash the other day (not full melt or bubble hash) and we couldn't smoke it on a nail.. Can't really help you on this one personally.

I'm gonna make a BHO run this weekend or next weekend probably, I might try the oven method to purge (plus hot water bath), the lowest it can go is 150 Fahrenheit, is that too hot?
 
Thanks for the reply though, Santa! Idk, I can maybe acquire some BHO but I would much rather turn my half of hash into BHO if at all possible!
 
Next week I'll have enough money to finally order one of these up! (Stupid start-of-year bills and expenses).

Which leads me to this question: Which is better, Nail + Dome or Skillet + Bell?

Is it possible to drop other things onto the nail like maybe a piece of hash or even a little rock on the days where I feel like staring out the window on cop look-out instead of skiing and feeling like I'm the king of the world (if you use coke you'll know what I'm talking about ahahaha)? I notice just about everyone here has a skillet and bell, why that over a dome and nail?

*reads entire thread to make sure this hasn't been asked already*

I've read a few replies of people smoking hash, and just above there's one saying it doesn't work? Also read one about someone smoking DMT, saying it worked no better than the machine or any other conventional method. Wouldn't this also make it possible to smoke crack and hash off a nail/skillet? I know it would be damn near impossible to get those on a skillet, but i mean with a nail its got raised edges you're literally just dropping it on top and sucking that bad boy like you're getting paid to do it! Just want to get a definitive answer as opposed to all the mixed feelings before I buy one. If it isn't possible/probable I'll probably buy a skillet bell because it looks way more bad ass ahaha.

Thanks for the help in advance!

i have tried to vape afgani hash on a ti nail and it doesn't work well.

while technically you can take the hash and dissolve it in a solvent to extract the THC, I don't think it is worth it. I never bothered t try it and had ample opportunity. BHO is best made from trim, shake or bud.

If you wanted to experiment, take a bit of hash, dissolve it in 99% iso alcohol. Evaporate the alcohol in a pie plate then scrape up the residue and see if it vapes on the nail.
 
smoked metal off a Ti nail...?

Hello, i was kinda at a loss of were to post this thread but its kinda weed related, anyway... I was smoking wax off my Ti nail earlier today. I have a biggg skillet tool that only works for the nail in my illadelph because the tool is too big for my smaller nail in my toro. Soo, i bent off the tips of a fork to make a smaller dabber so the wax wouldn't jump off the small nail and clog everything. But in the process of using it I may (i might just be being paranoid) have burnt through some of the fork. The individual tip does look a little shorter when compared to the pieces off the same fork, and it does seem as though its made of some cheap ass metal.

ummm so how bad for me was that? i can't imagine inhaling metal or any other solids is any good...

p.s. just to be clear because the thread title is confusing, i don't think i smoked titanium, just that the titanium was hot enough to melt the fork and combust a lot of whatever that cheap-fork-material was.
 
Well, I know accidentally inhaling burnt metal is not good at all but I'm not 100% on the problems that can occur as a result.

If it's any consolation, though, when I was younger I used to make screens for my bongs out of soda cans and ended up burning and inadvertently smoking the ones that I left in too long. I knew when I burnt through because all of a sudden my cherry'd pull straight through and sizzle into the water. It's happened to me countless times and, while I don't recommend anybody start doing the same, I've never had any adverse effects as a result (or at least any negative reactions were negligible and went unnoticed).



Just don't make a habit out of inhaling burnt metal and I'm sure you'll be fine after this one instance.
