After my harvest, I had a shit load of larf and trim. As we all know, when life gives you shitty larfy plants you bubble that shit and get high.
The only problem is that now I have a bunch of grade A full melt hash and no way to smoke it. I don’t dab, I don’t vape, so I’m stuck rolling super joints that get you higher than the Apollo 11. Looking for a hash pipe- a real one that won’t just melt your hash down the pipe- returns exactly one result. It’s fine but not what I’m looking for. I think I’m going to craft one, I’ll let you know how it goes.
Anyway, hash! Love it? Never tried it? I’m sure nobody hates it but if you’re a chronic contrarian tell me about how wrong I am!
Hey bizzle. I discovered the art of bubble hash making this year and love it. I’m not a grower so I only process an oz of cheap shake I bought online at a time. I shake it up in mason jars and strain with bubble bags. Its so economical compared to buying mid grade bud if you just want to get high or relief.
Its a bit of a laborious process. The marson jar shaking gets tiring. Would like to automate the mixing somehow. After a while I stopped using all the layers of bubble bags and just collect all of it with the finest bag. I had a hard time keeping all the different hash grades seperate. Also, Im lazy and couldn’t care less if my hash is full melt or not.
Each time I learned something and now it feels like I can wring just about every trichrome and oil crystal out of an OZ with maximum efficiency.
Dynavap was my go to with bubble hash. It has no batteries you can butane torch it (not a regular bic lighter, a jet flame torch) or use electric induction heater. It will get hot enough to properly vaporize the hash. The metal dynavaps are indestructible but I like the glass ones for thermal insulation can’t stand my fingers getting hot.
If you just want to try dynavap and can tolerate silicone I recommend the B for its great entry price point. Some people like the dynavap experience some dont so you’ll have t just try it if you are interested and see if its your thing. At least with B if you decide its not your thing not much money was lost (they have an awesome return policy too). I personally love the dynavap, it completely changed my vaporizer experience.
Ive never tried the dynacoil just put my hash balls by themselves in the chamber. A lot of reclaim does get built up inside, I’m not sure if a dynacoil would help catch some of that or if thats just the nature of smoking hash loaded with oil.
These days I found that the best way to vape hash is to put it in some vape wool or Japanese cotton, and put that in the one hitter mod for extremeq desktop vape. The first hit or two is a warm up to get the hash ball malleable, then you take the vape wool ball eith hash inside back out, rip open the ball and spread the hash all around the wool vastly increasing its surface area. After that you put the hash back in and it starts cranking out the vapor.
As for edibles, I recently made some infused coconut oil pill capsules and have been loving them. When I started out with edibles using regular butter I made lots of butter popcorn and rice crispy treats. I like the pill a caps a lot more since you can just dose them daily without any cooking involved. Its a process getting them filled up though.
Here’s the oil/butter making guide I trust. You’ll hear 10,000 different opinions on making cannabutter/oil. Differing oven decarb temp, time spent infusing, whether to use a crock pot, double boiler, or simmer on a skillet. whether or not to put lecithin in.
IMO the world works in averages. The particular process and exact timing isnt as important as its hyped up to be. As long as the good stuff is activated, gets in the oil, and isnt overcooked into cbd/cbn, you are golden. How you do that doesnt matter that much, so do what you think is best with the cooking appliances you have on hand and learn from the process.
Try and modify a paint shaker lol.
Table top washing machine, the bubble bag dude even has one that he sells.
I feel you so much, I’m mixing in 5gal bubble bags and holy cow it sure takes some elbow grease. The dynavap looks so rad that I might end up facing my fear of torch lighters and going for it. The gel caps is a sweet idea and may be nice to have on hand 🤔
If you decide to get a Dyna, you can start off with a cheap hand torch for a month or two to decide if you like it enough to spend on a more expensive induction heater. The Dynacup IH is 55-65$ USD and the inspire wand is often on sale for 90-100$usd on dynavap site. I share your concerns about fire and dont like filling butane so I went for the wand as first upgrade.
I used to get this incredibly smooth blonde hash from Morocco. Burnt slow in my glass pipe with this near sweet, smokey taste. Absolutely loved the stuff but dahm is it expensive.
Used to take two butter knives and rest the last quarter inch on the stove burner to get them red hot at the end. Drop a tiny ball on one and smush the other on top. Straw or bic pen. We called it hot knives and it was fantastic.
Hot knives is the way…to burn the shit out of yourself haha
Na, you’re going to stop before that because you’ll be so high lol
I had a friend who shorted out quite a few stove burners doing that back in the day.
They probably got so high they left them on there lol
Have you used a dynavap?
Also, hash makes great edibles!
I haven’t, I understand you can use it with a regular ol lighter though? That might actually be “it” for me, if so. I hate batteries and plastic so most vapes are “not it”, feel me?
All my friends have been trying to convince me to make edibles forever, maybe I’ll finally do it. What’s your go-to edible?
I’ve seen videos of people heating with a lighter. I usually use a torch lighter or my husband’s cigar lighter. Really the easiest thing to make that’s also super popular is weed cheezits…i usually make plain ones with cbd and hot& spicy ones with thc. Melt butter with hash slowly so it’s fully mixed, drizzle it over a big bowl of cheezits, put them in a single layer on a cookie sheet and bake until they’re mostly dry. Let them cool before you put them in a container. You can do the same with anything like that - honey nut Cheerios are good. Word of caution - if you eat weed cheezits and get the munchies, you will want to eat the rest of the cheezits and that can end badly - like getting too high, going to work, and then spending most of your shift taking bites off a giant chunk of cheese and a summer sausage when you think you’re being sneaky with it. Always keep a fresh box of cheezits on hand!!

I miss the old hash, that brown tacky shit, you could roll it in a ball and smoke it however you want. I wish they still made it.
You sound like you’re describing this hash honestly, I’but it fuckin melts so easy and just ends up in the pipe
Ah the stuff back in the day burned a bit better
Don’t know if it’s the stuff you’re thinking of, but due to a large combination of droughts in afganistan and surrounding regions the ground in hash making lands became more aride, and the grounds nutrients changed heavily. This is usually what people mean when they say modern hash isn’t anything like it was before. It’s because, sadly, it isn’t.
That tends to be more black/dark brown though. Brownish hashed tend to be morrocan or isreali
It was on the darker side of brown usually, so I guess that answers my question as to why they don’t make it anymore lol. Thanks!
Live resin bubble hash will be like you describe. Just make sure you use fresh frozen leaf and you’ll get the stickiest hash balls.
Good to know, I’ll look into it, thanks!
You Canadian?
Lol no but that is the stuff I want!
Do you use a mesh for the pipe?
I haven’t been, but it looks like that’s the way to go. Or I thought like a piece of pumice or something in the bowl, hash on top, would work?
Personally, I’ll put some herb in the hole. Not ground up just pull a small bit off, squeeze it a bit, stuff it on.
Smoking hash is an art of course. If it’s too good you’ll never be able to light it properly. Best way I’ve done it is to let the fire stay just above (using hemp rope, not a butane lighter, for the taste) while slowly inhaling careful not to let the flame touch. This bleeds out some of the oil into the herb beneath it so the hash itself can light. With that method though I will grind some herb up to add on top of the plug so it absorbs a bit better. If you have a piece with a choke only cover it a bit.
This is exactly the comment I was looking for, I’m going to try it when Mrs Bizzle gets home. Thank you
I’d go mesh and possibly some tobacco replacement to “dilute” the hash a bit, depending on the quality, and improve the burning.
