he probably bought it from someone who made it that knew what they were doing.

Now i have smoked hash oil before and got really stoned. So i decided to make my own honey and it worked well and turned out exactly like honey should. But the other day i went to my budies apartment and he brought out hash oil that did't look like your average oil. It was stone hard and almost yellow/green in color. My oil turned out looking like syrup and keeping the same consistency as syrup. My buddies rock hard oil tasted better and got me higher then mine..does anyone have any suggestions on why his turned out like that?

let yours dry out next time. overnight should be fine.
 
syrupy oil likely means you havent purged your poil properly.

as you have found out hard glass shatter oil is better then runny, liquidy BHO.
Maleable BHO is different then syrupy BHO by the way just so we are on the same page but to anyone lookin for the proper way to make BHO i suggest you google "HMK BHO tech" or somethin like that or go to tokecity.com <-- you will learn all you need to know abut hash here.
 
how are you supposed to store the oil? I hear it degrades if it's not refrigerated... in a tupperware cup? sealed? open?
 
It degrades even if it is refrigerated, but more slowly. Zzyzx is right, if you can make it light proof even better.
 
I have 100% isopropanol (isopropyl alcohol) which I plan to use on a nice stash of leftover vaped bud, resin and dirty bongs, pieces and my vape as a way to extract all the leftover cannabinoids including some THC from previous use.

Now what I'm left with is a very sticky, substance that I find hard to handle. Smoking hash-oil is great though IMO.

But my question is, is there are way to make the oil more solid/hardened so it's easier to deal with? Or does anyone have any recommendations on easy ways to smoke hash-oil made through the isopropanol method? Considering vaporzing it at a very high temp.
 
^ Two posts above you buddy. Throw it in the freezer, it hardens and makes it easy to deal with. As for your vap, I've heard it's difficult to clean the oil out of most vaps, but there might be an attachment to help you out? An easy way to smoke it is to just place some oil right on top of a bowl and smoke it.

Ah sorry, I should read more before posting, thanks for that info.

Think I'll go with Zzyzx's idea.

What starting material did you use? Your buddy probably used A grade heads and nothing else. I've made with leaf + trim and I've made with straight nug. The leaf oil can be anywhere from dark brown like dirty motor oil to like a yellow/green dirty amber colour.

You will RARELY see translucent oil made with leaf unless it's spread out in a very thin layer across a dinner plate or something. It'll be runny and sticky. How runny it will be depends on the quality of the starting material used.

Oil made with good buds gives you something else entirely. It's thick, really thick like tar and deep orange/yellow in colour. 99.9% of the time it should be clean, clear and mouthwatering to even look at. It'll be very hard to handle this stuff cos it's not like oil, it's more like wax.

The taste. Oh - my - lord. It tastes like what cannabis is meant to taste like if you vaporise it properly. The smoke/vapour will be harsh because it's so highly concentrated and it should taste like a cross between that lovely aroma a mature plant gives off and the smell of well-cured A grade heads.

Yes, it will be very potent.

This is when I combined leaf grade hash oil with bubble hash.

This is made from leaf using alcohol. DON'T use alcohol, always use high quality butane.

This is what you want. You'll need 1oz high quality heads, about 4 or 5 cans of Ventti butane for extraction, glass tube, glass evaporating dish and unbleached coffee filters.


1. Pack the buds into your glass tube. I went to the supermarket and grabbed one of those cheap rock salt shakers that have a built-in plastic grinder in the top. Then emptied out the contents and drilled a 2mm hole in the bottom. It's roughly 45x45x110 (mm). You should be able to fit in just over an ounce. You need to pack fairly tight. If you only have an oz you can fill the empty space with (good) leaf or trim.

YOU NEED A SPECIAL DRILL BIT FOR DRILLING GLASS! THEY ARE VERY CHEAP - GO TO YOUR LOCAL HARDWARE STORE

2. Seal the top with a paper coffee filter. I use a hose clamp with a homemade rubber "washer" so you can clamp it on firmly without damaging the tube.

3. Wrap a tea towel around the tube in several layers cos it's gonna get COLD. Be careful not to have it too near the end where the oil comes out. You don't want the towel soaking up any of your precious sap.

4. Hold the tube over your evaporating dish and empty one whole can into the tube. Around here the butane refills come with different size fittings in the lid so pick one that it just a little too big for the hole you drilled in the other end of the tube and off you go. You won't see anything come out straight away so be patient! We have to do this a few more times yet!

You will see piss-coloured liquid start to drip then flow through the filter into the dish. This is the coolest part because it looks so bright and yellow at this stage.

I like to leave the fitting in the tube once the can is empty and blow through it with my mouth. This will help push the butane through.

5. Once you can see no more drips coming out you can put the tube down on its side.

6. Remove the clamp and filter, using a butter knife scrape out the material into a big ass mixing bowl or something. It'll look really wet and be cold to touch. Chop it all up!

7. Stuff it all back into the tube, replace the filter and clamp, repeat steps 3-6 another few times - until you have no more cans left or the liquid flowing out is totally and completely clear. I mean TOTALLY CLEAR cos I have old plant matter sitting around in drawers that I've run through up to SIX times and I'm still getting oil out if I run it again. You can never get it all out so keep it and re-use, re-use, re-use.

You can build a tube out of PVC specifically for making low-grade oil. Make it three feet long and two inches across. Then once you've gotten a huge collection of leftover material you can load up the big ass tube and run about 10 cans through it and I guarantee you'll see some oil. It's nice mellow product you can use for enhancing lousy buds or smearing on joint paper.

8. Leave the glass dish somewhere SENSIBLE to evaporate.

This means: always outdoors or in a well ventilated area like a shed with all the doors and windows open, not near any open flames or ANYTHING that could cause a spark so NO electronic devices this includes fridges/freezers tvs radios etc., keep it away from pets okay - they'll get curious and wanna run up and smell it then they'll either get a whiff of butane into their lungs or they stick their nose in the liquid and get a nice burn, don't leave it somewhere up high in case it gets knocked then you'll be punching yourself because it'll go everywhere and now you've got no oil idiot. I also suggest keeping it covered in some way if you can because you don't want bits of dust n crap or bugs getting into it and tainting your lovely nectar. Try covering with breathable fabric like a cotton t-shirt or something, or stick some fly-netting over it, anything that'll protect it from shit falling in and still allow it plenty of room to evaporate.


SAFETY RULES

-ALWAYS DO OUTDOORS OR IN WELL VENTILATED AREA!
-ABSOLUTELY NO SMOKING WITHIN 20M OF YOUR WORK SPACE!
-USE THICK GLOVES OR TEA TOWEL TO HOLD THE TUBE - IT GETS REALLY COLD
-DON'T TOUCH IT WITH YOUR FINGERS - EVEN AFTER IT'S EVAPORATED
-WEAR APPROPRIATE CLOTHING - THIS SHIT STAINS
-ENJOY IN MODERATION :)

Thanks for that post. I'll probably stick with 100% isopropyl alcohol for now as it's easier/safer than the butane method with my experience with this stuff. Very experienced with buds though not at all with refined, concentrated forms such as hashish and hash oil.
 
You're welcome. The butane method is incredibly easy and safe. You just need to use a little common sense.
 
who knows the solubility of THC in 99% IPA?

i think that would be useful to know it you are getting most of your thc in the first wash.
 
god your so dumb you don't even know what i was asking.

SOLUBILITY in grams per motherfucking ML

if you don't know, don't answer.
