Device capable of vaporizing "EU-hash"

[vapedck]

Can you guys recommend me a vaporizer? My first and foremost important requirement is that it vaporize the hard-as-brick hashish we have here in northern Europe, as many of you are familiar with as "EU-hash", without the help of a herb (illegal or legal).

Even though I'd prefer a portable one, a stationary vaporizer will be sufficient. That the device is easy to use is also of importance.

I know the Lotus is an option, but it being a manual-type of vaporizer it doesn't quite suit to my taste. I have one Davinci Ascent which I have used a lot over the years, but seeing as it can only vaporize greens, it ends up lying in my drawer a lot since greens are rare here.

I appreciate ANY kind of suggestions as long as the vaporizer at least can handle the mentioned "EU-hashish". Thanks in advance!

you mean slate right? the hard brown shit with the dark glossy exterior

if so then i have used both an EQ and a Solo to vape it but both times with herbs. either could do it just with screens though. actually i have done it like that with the solo

i have no doubt log vapes will also do it. others maybe able to comment on other vapes.

I hear the Vapman works well. @NorVape

 

[NorVape]

Yeah, the Vapman is great!

And also, the Ubie.

Personally, i'm quite hesitant of using hash in my vape, let alone low grade stuff like soapbar
Most of these hashes are Moroccan that have been ground up in Europe and mixed with all sorts of fillers, ranging from anything between henna and used motoroil, not only the soapbar types, but also the somewhat higher grades. You don't want bad ingredients boiling off their gasses in your vapor imo.

I do use hash sometimes, but only real high quality stuff, and still i'm not too sure of what i'm taking in. i mean, even with something like handrubbed hash you just don't know what's been on the hands of the person rubbing, chemicals sprayed etc.

Having said that, i must say my Herborizer did an ok job with it, and my Enano proved great with some temple ball, but the hash does clog things up quite a bit in the gong

As far as portable: solo, air, haze etc..
for the plug-ins I guess they're pretty much all viable w/ some adjustments
I think it depends a lot on the bowl (hash in my alfa hardly vapes and leave just a messy chamber due to the central heating element) but almost every (good) vape is able to deal w/ hash (temperature-wise speaking) remember to use cotton, screens, dry herbs like lavanda, tea or whatever u want as long it's safe and doesn't ignite under 230°

@Ace of Space With all due respect, that is mainly myths and urban legends. Proper SHIT like soapbar is cut, but the proper Moroccan stuff is IME safe and good.

I press high grade Moroccan into rosin all the time, and the results are good, clean tasting shatter that wouldn't be possible with the pressence of adulterants.

I'm not saying there isn't cut hash in abundance on the European market, I'm just saying there have never been more good hashish available then it is now.

Buy a piece from a trusted source and look at it through a magnifier, and you'll see the trichome heads

Also, vaping it should give you a clean flavour

 

[Ace of Space]

@NorVape It's not mainly myths and urban legends, i wish..
There's places that do nothing else than cutting hash, and it's not always to make shit like soapbar.
It's even done to upgrade low grade Moroccan with low grade bubble, if you get what i mean
Hell, with all the wet weed being sold, you never know what's on or in there anymore either.
But that aside, i was saying don't bother with the low grade hash like soapbar.

I don't press rosin, but yeah i guess you could make perfect shatter with that. Like i said, i only use high grade hash in my vape opposed to the cheap stuff, but still i don't trust it completely, even though it gives off a wonderful smell and taste.

I live in europe(the netherlands to be precise) and vape imported hash often(my favorite is nepal). lots of vaporizers work, but some don't. some requirements: the temp needs to go high enough, and it needs to have an easily removable(and therefor cleanable) screen, since hash gunks up the screen easily. with all vaporizers you should stir it up after a few hits, when the hash has gotten soft, to expose more surface area.

the vaporgenie works very well with hash. relatively big surface, it's easy to put too much in it. sometimes friends have offered to fill it with their hash, and if I let them fill it themselves, that oftend ends up in a situation where the vapor just keeps coming, and I can still get plenty of vapor out of it the next day from what's left in it.

the underdog also works well with hash, although I do have a VVPS, and use that to set the temp a bit higher when I'm vaping hash.

the arizer air also woreks with hash. but with the stock stem, the wooden stem from ed that I have is less suitable for hash(screen is harder to remove, and it has more airflow, lowering the temp), so I now only use the stockstem for hash and the wooden stem for weed. you have to keeep the arizer air upright though, so as to not let the hash stick to the bottom of the heatchamber.

my only vapoirizer that doesn't work with hash is the da vinci. the chamber for the weed is not accessible enough to properly stir the hash, and if it would get stuck at the bottom it wouldn't be easy to clean(note: I have never actually tried putting hash in it, only inside the oilcans, which didn't work well)

+1 for vapman

Also you can clean your hash up with iso potentially.

 

[NorVape]

Also, just putting hash in a ball of cotton or muslin eliminates a lot of the mess hashish can create in many vapes.

@djonkoman btw, I never stir hash, and it vapes for ever.

 

[djonkoman]

@NorVape: is that with 'regular'(regular around here) imported hash? I do get vapor without stirring, but that quick stir at the beginning makes it work much better IMO. never tried it with a cottonball, but I think the kind of hash I usually vape wouldn't work well with that, too solid.

 

[Winegums]

I've run every type of hash and oil through my herbie. It has never failed to produce nice hits and the cleaning is easy enough if you line the bottom with ABV or a vape neutral fiber.

 

[NorVape]

@djonkoman Yes, we're talking high quality bricks of Morrocan polm, caramello and jardallah eggs, bricks of lebanese etc etc right?

You know, hashish hash not hash hash, if that made sense haha

 

[djonkoman]

@NorVape yeah I think we're talking about the same, hash not oil. although I don't know if what I get would fall under 'high quality'. it's not soap bar(I think that's only a UK-thing?), but I usually get the average/lower quality(5-7 euros a gram) if I get moroccon hash, vapes better. the higher quality melts back into one lump/puddle after stirring and taking 1 hit. the lower quality with a bit more plantmatter doesn't do that. I also once had some expensive(17 euros a gram) moroccon that was black and softer as the average nepal hash, and very sticky. got it for free from a friend, he bought it to try out but didn't like it. I imagine that hash would've worked wih cotton, but I just mixed it with some lower quality hash to make it vape-able. with nepal there usually aren't different grades available, and the common average nepal vapes fine. but once when I made a trip to amsterdam I looked up some shops that had good charas-type hash, and got some more expensive nepalese and northindian hash that also vaped better mixed with lower grade. never had lebanese.

Try it with cotton, or get a Vapman. Vapman does ALL hashes easily

Make sure to pick up some concentrate screens too
