7 grams out of 36 is like 19.5%
I'd think even expecting a 10% return from ABV is optimistic...

Could I theoretically make good hash with ISO and normal buds?

Shiet. Well, maybe in the future.

whats your preferred heat setting?
what does the inner plate of the standard surfers look like? I ordered blemished one and got a gold housing with a red base and the inner plate (the base that the HC sits on) sort of looks like the silver veined housing from the ssv site. is this the normal inner plate or did I get something different? I love it, and kind of hope that its special.

I seem to be getting better results with my SSV the more i play with it, but I think im going to order the Standard HC and wand and set this Spherical GG aside for a while.
How are the fatty wands? Do they really provide thicker hits?

ill let you know when I get mine.
Also, ive used my ssv for only 2 full days. I used one wand the first day, and by the end of the day I was pulling milkier hits off of a wand with nothing in it. Then I hit my clean wand with nothing in it and got nothing. so the next day I used the fresh wand, and by the end of the day I was pulling milkier hits from the same wand empty. am i just vaping the reclaim, but It seems to never end, and its only been a day on each wand...

Ya....let us know what you think
Unfortantely I predict you might be disappointed. Iso is a semi polar solvent that gets more polar as it increases in temperature, the remaining % that's not Iso is all water which is polar and will extract chlorophyll and other plant matter.So what I am saying is for good qwiso you want 90% iso or higher, cold iso (some even make salt water baths or go all out with acetone dry ice baths to increase soak times since the Iso is much less polar at sub freezing temperatures), cold plant matter to make the trichomes more brittle and lock moisture into the plant matter, and finally quick washes of your plant matter. If you want to try and extract everything to max your efficiency do multiple washes that you incrementally increase the wash times on that way you have a quality run and then you can see how longer wash times affect your resulting product.
Good luck man

Thanks man. At the moment I just have a big glass tray of dark brown crusty goo that I'm gonna have to figure out how to scrape up later.
I did scrape up some of the hash with a knife and threw it in my wand for the fuck of it, and I was surprised by how long it lasted and how effective it was.
It's not the best hash, but it did the job and I'll be happy if I can cleanly scrape the rest up and store it for use without too much trouble.

Nice man as long is works for you that's all that counts, infact if you plan to use it only in the ssv. Longer washes might be preferable because you will have a less oily more stable hash that is more suited to use in the wand IME. Freezing and quick washing is more for a product that's suited for dabbing.

No, the hits are not thicker,IMO. I have one and I use it with as much herb as I normally use. I prefer the straight wand, it's easier to break up/crunch your herb inside the bowl when stirring.

Got my new SSV a week ago and so far I like it. I have questions though. My ABV is only light green / golden. I let it heat up for 15-20 before at max power. It maxes out at lets say 5:30 on the dial and I turn it down to 3 and have tried it at max power and it doesn't make a big difference in the hits. I slow pull, however if I fast pull it dims the ceramic heater but I do still get a hit. The glow of the ceramic heater seems to vary a bit between noon and max as far as brightness but only half of the stick is glowing. The heater cover is not touching the top of the glass but its pretty close. I have tried moving the glass heater cover up and down but it if it is not right where it is I end up with only green ABV after several pulls. The bottom hole in the heater cover is just below where the glowing orange stops on the heater. The top of the heater cover seems to be "pinched", it is difficult to get the provided poker in the hole to ensure the ceramic heater is not touching the glass.
I get some decent pulls but the color of the ABV has me thinking I am not maximizing my goods. I can only compare to my chinese vape and my Pax and those give me brown / dark brown ABV. I actually prefer to use those for bedtime. I wrote to support and they said this is normal operation but wanted to see what other SSV users were experiencing.

So you recommend not adjusting the hc and instead suggest adjusting the ceramic?

No... I think my suggestion was clear:
I also said it is not productive to move heater cover, because as you lift it you are allowing air in from bottom.
The ceramic should be fine as it is, and I have only ever moved a ceramic element once, to setup the DBV Oil Rig (Element must be lowered so the TiNail and glass have clearance.

Do not move Heater cover./.. let it sit in lowest position.
Which Heater cover and wand is it?
Try inhaling more slowly.
Slow = hot
fast = cooler
Stir and lift the load after each pull... and take many more hits.
I have the standard glass. I am a chronic stirrer usually after each pull while I breathe, I hit it until it tastes like vinyl tubing. I doesn't taste the same at the end as my Pax. I use the Pax on medium and at the end I get the burnt popcorn taste. I will push the heater cover all the way down and use my poker to give it a little space between the glass and ceramic heater. 7th floor support recommend an 1/8" of an inch between the top of the glass and the ceramic. I generally pull slow since I am used the Pax. I worry about combustion with my slow pulls which is kind of why I hated the chinese vape the temp accuracy sucked and if I wasn't watching the color of the stuff it could easily combust. I don't think it would combust on the SSV even at max power with a slow pull at this point, not that I want that. Am I wrong in looking at the ABV itself to determine how "used" the product is? If I have everything right with the temp and HC, I should see light and dark brown ABV correct?

My AVB hash turned out... Um... Okay.
Unfortunately it's pretty much too sticky to work with. It's a tar black color on the outside and on the inside it's like a dark brown tootsie roll type color.
I can't weigh it out because the trouble of getting it out of the container and getting it back in (and not having it stick to my scale..) would be too much effort.
It took me a good five minutes just to get some of the end product into my wand.
It's so sticky that it has actually kind of fucked up my whole little vape area, here. My heater cover, stirring pokey, rolling tray and wand are all covered in hash.
The worst part is that it's kind of runny. I managed to roll it into a ball and when I put it in the container I was going to keep it in, it just kind of melted into a puddle after a few minutes.
As far as how the hash actually is?
It's alright.
It tastes and feels okay but the stickiness of it kind of ruins it for me. It's almost too sticky to even try to use.
Oh well. I guess I should just wait until concentrates make it to my area. Or I make it to their area. Whichever might come first.

I find the easiest way to deal with ABV oil is to just dab it, but if you're gonna try it with the SSV, I'd reccomend getting a bit on your designated stirring/oil picking up tool, then while its still stuck to the dabber, dip that into your ground herbs.
You'll end up with a your ball of hash crusted with fresh bud, and you can more easily handle that ball since it won't be so sticky on the outside.
Once you get it figured out, it's a nice little treat to have every now and then, so I wouldn't give up on it just yet.

Is it a better idea to vape it or throw it on top of a bowl/pipe and torch it?
Also, how is the SSV's oil diffuser glass top used for concentrates? I've never understood how that would work.
Dabbing is kind of still a foreign thing to me unfortunately.
EDIT: Got a dab on the tip of my SSV pokey and dipped it in fresh ground herb, like you said.
Thank you so much for that tip, it worked perfectly. I was able to put a dab on a fresh bowl without much mess at all.
I'm a lot happier about my oil now than I was 20 minutes ago. haha thanks!
