Welcome fellow hash lover! As you can see by my pic to the left, I am somebody who solely vapes hash and doesn't really use cannabis flower at all. Some of the recommendations in this thread will help you, but I feel that some things need to be mentioned from the perspective of somebody who only vapes hash. First though, to your questions:
1. Yes, you will get the best results vaping hash, not smoking it! You will be so surprised how far a small piece of good moroccan hash can be taken in a vaporizer vs smoking!
2. The firefly 2 is as good an option as you will find for portable use of hash that doesn't fully melt (Morrocan hash can fully melt, but that quality of product is not so likely to be found commonly in Europe). It allows the user to modify temperatures so that they can be hotter than what we'd use for flowers. You need more heat for hash vaping than what you would use for flowers. One major problem with the firefly 2 for hash is that the battery life is very limited and the external battery chargers are not very common yet. I would not rely on an FF2 alone for hash.
3. I suggest the following options:
* D-nail lotus flower adapter or Twax flowerpot. These are plug in vapes that connect to a bong. They will give you gigantic lung busting rips of vapor from a very small amount of hash, and can be left always on for instant use. They allow for much more heat than is required to vaporize hash, which is a major benefit as most flower vapes IME are not cut out for hash vaping.
* Vapcap M with stainless steel concentrate pad from Storz & Bickel which has been reshaped to fit in the vapcap bowl (this stainless steel mesh will prevent your hash from melting through the vape and promote better vaporization). The vapcap M is IMO the best portable for using hash in public. It uses a jet lighter to heat up and so isn't held back by the battery limitations that the FF2 has.
I do not personally recommend any electronic portables for hash aside from the FF2 (and tbh, the FF2 battery limitations prevent me from really recommending that either, but it will taste better than any other portable for hash). I only use hash and as such, have very high standards for what I require - I want something that I can hit, clean rapidly with a brush or similar and then reload and vape more immediately from a clean bowl. Most flower vapes get impossibly filthy when you use hash in them and cannot be kept clean, which means every bowl you vape tastes like old overcooked hash remains from previous bowls.
The Haze V3 is fucking terrible for concentrates. I love the haze v3, but IMO it should never have been marketed as being compatible with concentrates. IME, it is simply not.
The MFLB is truly one step away from putting your hash on a screen and touching it with a soldering iron to vape it. It is also made of wood and silicone, both of which will swell with hash resin very quickly and taste like old gunk. This is not the way to enjoy hash and I do not recommend that anybody use any product with silicone or wood in the vapor path with hash.
Good hash makes it from the Middle East to Europe man. I have friends in various European countries who have shown me fire export hash that they've found. You'd be surprised. I am given to understand that good Morrocan hash is not too hard to find in many parts of Western Europe these days!
With this said, the black markets that operate around the world do carry risks of contamination/adulteration that are less of a problem in legalized parts of the world.
Most definitely, and at the price of a vapcap M, I can't see any reason not to buy one!
I do not recommend the Vapman for hash. The wooden midsection will be drowning in reclaim after a few bowls and it impossible to get that shit clean. Your vapman will forever taste like old overcooked hash. As I said above, avoid wood in your vapor path for hash vaping if you want to minimize waste and maximize cleanliness and taste!
This is a great idea too, I need to get my hands on one of those!
Again, I do not recommend this. As one of the first people ever to use a vapman station with hash, I can confidently report that this is not ideal, for the same reasons I outlined above (also the station was very slow to heat the vapman hot enough for hash vaping when compared to a lighter).
Greetings, please see my post above and please do not buy ANY OF THOSE VAPES that you mentioned in that list there. None of them will give ideal hash performance. What works for wax will not work for hash that does not fully melt. Your hash, being Morrocan, is not likely to fully melt so you are limited to the vapes I have suggested above. Please don't hesitate to ask if you have anymore questions. I am happy to assist since very few FC members vape hash regularly and this advice can be hard to find
No, this is not going to clean adulterated hash if it is adulterated. Some adulterants will be further concentrated by solvent processing. I do not recommend solvent extracts from import hash to prevent adulteration/contamination. The only way to do that is to find clean hash. If you suspect your hash, find another source of hash.
When you rosin hash, the rosin always tastes worse than the hash that it came from. You leave behind the best part of the flavor when doing this. This is why I stopped rosining hash. I'd rather vape hash that doesn't fully melt as it is than rosin it to make it work for dabbing.
Solvent processing of hash similarly diminishes flavor due to the purge.
The multiple processing passes (rosin, then QWISO) will obliterate any remaining terps in the hash, which we must remember has already been heat pressed. IME, further processing hash that has been heat pressed in the traditional way in a way that subjects it to more heat makes the flavor drastically deteriorate into something that tastes so bad that I wouldn't want to vape it.
The following can be very effective tools to examine hash for adulteration:
* A microscope/high magnification jeweller's glass. Anything beyond 60x will do. If you share magnified pics here, I can help you examine the material. Please understand that high magnification inspection is not fool proof, but it can assist greatly in detecting solid adulterants.
* All hash that doesn't fully melt will catch fire if heated enough with a source of ignition present, however, if your hash readily catches fire the second that a flame is held near it and continues to burn in the absence of a source of ignition (as if it were adulterated with flammable solvents) then you should avoid that hash. Solvents can be used to make hash look more 'sticky' and hence of better quality than it actually is.
* Similarly, if the hash audibly sizzles when you heat it, for traditional hash, this can be evidence of solvent adulteration, or water contamination.
. It does well with shatter and reclaim too ,just spread it on the screen and roll up,you wont be dissapointed,taste is good even with weaker dry hashes,which tend to taste bad at the end. i also suggest water filtration cause hits are enormous.and taste is good even with weaker dry hashes,which tend to taste bad at the end.
