Re: Which budget start-up hash/ keif making products are worth buying? (Lots of Pics!
I have tried vaporizing very kind of hash but the oil, and have to agree with Maer. Hash just doesn't vaporize easily when it's compressed or gooey. I've heard there is a special hash vaporizer to use with oils, waxes and those dense sticky hashes and am trying to reach the person who told me this is the most efficient and simplest way to use these types. Something about a heated pin in a glass contraption... If I can get info, I'll certainly share. My volcano definitely makes the most efficient use of this dry ice hash, keif, or even some of the bubble hash I tried that was similar in texture. I've never bothered to use my bubble bags to learn how the different results vary in texture. I bought a piece of that full melt and tried every which way to get it to vaporize, chilling and grinding, pinching into thin wafers, heating and stirring in with buds.... I even used the liquid pad in the volcano, hopIng the hash would melt and spread out. It didn't much. Guess it might work for something closer to oil. BTW, don't waste your pennies on a volcano liquid chamber, it's just the regular one with a steel wool like pad.All these just wasted it and only the exposed surface vaporized and the rest was wasted. I also tried it in my vapor genie and launch box, on top of buds. It's pointless!
In the volcano, I put a bit of ground bud (actually leftover bud from hash making usually) in the chamber, then add however much hash I wish (I need a lot), then important, sprinkle a bit of bud on top so when the hash melts a bit, it doesn't stick to your top screen. I cough a lot, even with vapors, but find I het more potent vapors at lower temps when using the DI hash. I start at 4.5 and once heated start the air while turning it up to 5 to keep the light on and heating (not sure if this even matters), then pretty much crank it up a half notch per bag or until it gets too harsh for me. I've read all the good CBNs are vaporized by 7.5 at the most and any higher is pointless. There is a list of temps in several threads, and there is even a list of temps for the classic volcano, so you might want to check. My chamber is pretty much vaporized by 7... Ah, another thing in general on the volcano, it does help to stir the herb chamber and seems to make the herbs go further. Another tip to make your hash go further... Any visible exhaled vapor is wasted vapor. I like several bags of thinner vapors, as not to cough, but with the hash that bag is packed with vapors! I take small short breaths, then breathe in fresh air for the rest of my hit. When really broke, I'll even exhale into the bag or breathe out a little at a time, taking more fresh air in as I go. Not much vapor escapes my lungs that way.
I finished trimming up my blueberry diesel last night and scraped a nice ball of gooey yummy hash off my nippers... Then hit a dead end getting that to vaporize, no matter how thin I mashed it. While waiting for news on this pin vaporizer for that type of hash, i'd love to hear how other people vaporize this!
If you try to vaporize dry ice hash or keif in anything with a screen, you have to add bud or all that hash will fall through the screen. I clogged my vapor genie up tight a fee times.

I did just get a $5 hash press in the mail... Out of curiosity. I can't see how in the world I could vaporize a puck of hash any more than full melt! ?? Has anyone else vaporized this?
420pharm, what type of oil are you mixing with keif? I guess that isn't vaporizable either, though it makes good sense to smoke. I've never smoked anything, not even tobacco... Cough cough. I do love the smell of those rolled up balls of hash... As for quality of DIhash, I think it all depends on the bud it's from. I can say it is much much higher in quality than plain keif. I used 220 micron bags and there was little plant material in the hash. With the DI, you shake it very gently and for only a few minutes. since then bags were $7, I ordered a 190mcr to experiment with. I'll use the 5 gallon 220 mar bag, then dump the results in 190' then 160, the. 73, which are my u sued bubble bags. I doubt it will be worth the effort, but it's easy enough to do once.
I pretty much turn all my buds into hash. Vaporizing just the buds gives me no pain relief, so I use them for sleep and mild anxiety. The hash is just so much better and unlike all the other forms of hash making, your buds are reusable for more hash, vaporizers, cooking, etc. There is no water or solvents to trash it! I'm lazy and only run my buds through once.
Maer, all these forms of hash confuse the he'll out of me, like wax and crystals. What are they? I bought a hash that I thought was a type of bubble hash, but it was like raw sugar. I treated it the same as my DI hash, and it worked out just fine!
My hash is not just for vaporizing. I only get some pain relief from edibles. 1/2g hash a dose is a bit too much, 1/4 not enough. Putting DI hash in capsules in insanely easy, then I heat them and the capsule in the oven. I use the hash for budder, oils, tinctures (looking for glycerine to try), and coconut oil chocolate. Less plant material = less foul taste. I like BHO, but it is risky. Sooooo, I want to try making BHO from the hash, to see if this eliminates the taste in cooking even more. I was using vector with buds, but such a small amount of butane would be needed, I can buy a tiny can of the insanely priced butane and get more. Before, I make it directly into my crock pot, them add butter and water and go through the rinsing and directly to cooking.
I hope this helps... And makes sense. I shouldn't write when i have a migraine. Lol! I've only been at this about 2 years, but have been focusing on trying as many ways to do things as I can. I'm all ears for any new ideas I can try! So far, DIhash and all the things you can do with it are my favorite by far. If I ever find that pin head vaporizer, CO2 hash might be worth a try... But not so easy or affordable. Lol
TY for signing them petition. It made the 5000 votes and can't be ignored now.
))) TY!!
