share that dab stash! (picture thread)

[BoogerMan]

Isn't the abv already decarbed?

To some degree but not fully. To fully decarboxylate it, or at least decarboxylate it to the point you want it, it needs to be at a constant ~250 for ~20 minutes. Maybe I'm totally off in my thinking here but with a convection vaporizer heat is only actually touching the cannabis for however long your total inhales add up to which I'm guessing is significantly less than 20 minutes.

From my understanding, ABV is mostly decarbed already but not fully especially depending on what temp was used to vaporize and how many hits/how long the bud was vaporized/how long the bud has been drying/curing for. Year old bud is definitely more decarbed than 2 week old bud.

Most of this info is from Skunk Pharm

Decarbing concentrate is the easiest to tell when it's done. When you heat at 250 or 300F you will start to see tiny fizzy bubbles (the carbon molecule being released I believe) after just a few minutes. After those bubbles have stopped, the concentrate is fully decarbed.

With ABV concentrate at 250F you will probably only need to decarb for a couple minutes if any. With normal concentrate, you will need to deccarb much longer since there will be more fizzy bubbles and they will take much longer to stop.

Awesome decarb effeciency chart. Great for bud, not necessarily needed for concentrate since you can just watch the bubbles. I prefer about 300F for 6-7 minutes. Keep it nice and quick 250F for 20-25 minutes works well too.

Here are what the small fizzy bubbles look like

And temp check

And just about done. It needed like another minute after this pic. Most of the fizzy bubbles have stopped and once it looks like a complete liquid with no bubbles, it is fully decarbed

It's been awhile since I posted so I figured I would show you all some wax I made from some shake I had laying around. I think I have finally figured out how to get that nice light color.

[RwaNde]

Ha! I've not been locked to the couch quite as much as you may think but to be honest I've been being fairly modest with the size of my dabs. If only money was no object eh . . .

So anyway, it's very early days of testing this stuff out but so far I would say that it imparts a very soothing and calming effect which for me has started out like a solid lump of fuzz between my ears which then proceeds to emanate out to my entire body. It is a relaxing & very reassuring feeling which in my opinion could almost feel like the beginnings of a mild dose of some form of general anesthetic

I personally think it also provides great anti-inflammatory relief.

It has an odd but not unpleasant taste which is reminiscent of something I can't quite put my finger on right now . . . . sorry.

Well, early impressions are good, so it definitely gets a thumbs up from me
It's just a shame it is so expensive.


Much love y'all

Nice one, thanks for the review. Price wise I've calculated that it's a near match with plusCBD oil's price /mg. PlusCBD is the chepest available CBD product in the UK today which means CBD-X is pretty much keeping its product at a pretty good price range.

First in my qwet vs. qwiso chronology.

On the Right we have our 190 Everclear solution and on the left a 91% iso solution, both standing next to their respective jars of shake/popcorn. I just went ahead and combined a,b,c wash into one jar because I lack jars/evap dishes/imagination perhaps. No D wash.

Put the jars back in the freezer for 24 hrs and then through a 10 micron ss filter for evap. outside. Thank you whatever random FCer recommended 316t wholesale in my random browsings. One $6 screen has never been so useful!

Here is the Qwet result:

And here is the Qwiso:

haven't tried the qwiso yet, smells a touch more floral than the qwet though, however is much less yield. I shall dig out my digi. scale for next time and see what sort of returns I am getting... but I would say I got about 60% qwiso yield vs. qwet off roughly the same amount of material when eyed out. (I know, this is starting to sound very scientifically controlled.)

The taste is very... floral. Sorry, don't know how to better describe it. Very tasty though, and leaves my atomizer coils quite clean, so I'm satisfied.

Anyways, just seeing what my options are, as 91% iso is... cheap, and 190 grain alcohol is... not. Also just wanted to post my results off what information I have gained from reading about yalls experiments. Thanks FC! Any general suggestions on how to up my qwiso returns?

Next episode: An actually weighed out proportioned jar of 5 month old chem dog trim!

Does rosin fall under wax or other? Hmmm.

Here is my first successful attempt at pressing nugs rosin tech style.

The strain is a mystery to me but it is very sticky/juicy/tangy. Rosin smells simply wonderful!

I did not even bother trying to keep out the smaller particles this round. They just add flavor.

Nice looking.

Looking Delicious my friend..
Rosin would fall into The Essential Oil Category.

Had made some more Bubble, finally dried up, this stuff was incredibly sticky throughout the first 2 weeks of dry/cure time.

After Curing the Hash for 2 weeks, it finally was ready to separate (it would just stick back to itself after my separation technique) no micro-plane, as I feel it ruptures the glands, releasing oils onto the drying surface.

Been waiting a long time for my Blue(berry) Dream trim to Polymerize (90 day cure) and I'm about a week away, stay tuned for that one, big ripe Glands, smells exactly like fresh baked Blueberry Muffins, hence altered name.

Fell asleep with the whip in my hand during last night's session... I remember I started the sesh around midnight, was super Vaked after my 4th draw... Kept puffin away... &...

Next thing I knew, I awoke whip still in hand..3:45am.

Great post Boog!

Ahaha...that wonderful chart comes from one of my mentors in Hash-Oil Production.. His name is Jump, or Jump117, he is a Bio-Chemist and allowed Graywolf and his amazing team of Skunkpharm to use it on their site.

Brings back a lot of fond memories..

Damn buddy that looks tasty enough to eat! I wonder if it would pop in your mouth like Pop Rocks (don't even get @Cannabis Connoisseur started with what he does with Pop Rocks hahaha).

Haha that's some lucky shit about falling asleep with the whip in your hand. If that would have been me it would have ended up on the floor 2 minutes after I fell asleep. That is one blessed setup you got there!

Beautiful stuff brother! I am about to make the shift across to bubble/rosin for my night time medicine and these pictures are making me more and more excited at the proposition! Any bubble tips for a first timer? I'll be using bubblebags (the full kit) and machine agitating so especially drying tips and anything about packing the material and the ideal consistency that starting material should be in for bubble runs would be greatly appreciated

Keep on doing the great things you do man, posts like this remind us of why you're one of the most enjoyable contributors to join us here in recent times

I understand its difficult without testing/trying them out. But can someone take a guess at whats wrong with these dabs? They look decent, but taste nasty to me. I think they contain a bunch of lipids. But i wanna hear other people's input

@A1FBG

Impossible to know for sure. It looks pretty clear so I doubt there's an excessive amount of fats/lipids that could cause it to taste off.

Was it purchased from a dispensary? If so do you trust the shop? Some places spray nasty pesticides on their plants or don't flush them properly or at all. Can't really think of what else it would be, even if it wasn't purged at all it wouldn't taste "bad" you'd just be able to taste a hint of butane.

Do you know the strain and quality of material that was used to make it? Do you know how it was grown? Organic? Hydro? Soil? Nutes? Do you know how it was dried and cured? At what temp and humidity?

I know they are crazy questions and you may not know some or any, but they all play a key role in quality and taste.

If the bud/popcorn/trim/shake that was used to make it wasn't dried and cured properly, it will most likely taste bad. Imagine smoking that bud. It would taste harsh and nasty.

It can still look fine and even be in the form of shatter. I have some shatter I made from some fucked up popcorn and it looks great but taste like shit.

Or even imagine smoking bud that has fertilizer still left it it (wasn't flushed properly/enough). Taste nasty as hell. And so will wax made from that type of bud.

I don't think it's the fats or lipids because it usually budders up in that case. But I've had wax that buddered up from lots of fats and lipids and it still tasted great.

I'd say it was just made from bud that doesn't taste good to begin with.

EDIT: Ninja'd by @Jared

 

[A1FBG]

@BoogerMan @Jared

Well unfortunately i dont know any more info. i sure would if i could tho..

Something to mention:
Small sized dabs are perfectly super smooth
But large dabs are strangely really harsh? ( i always handle fat dabs just fine )
Both still taste bad to me..

Also my rig seems to be getting dirtier than normal with reclaim gunk

I will admit i am somewhat of a snob about taste, but literally i just feel like I'm smokin on lipids right now..

Poorly grown bud is a good assumption. If this is the issue should i throw this stash in the trash?

Edit: a dude on grass city just nailed it. he asked if they taste like rubber.. which they do.. this is the taste i could not explain, and that i was assuming was lipids. Can you guys determine anything from this?

Pretty sure the rubber taste means it was purged at too high a temp and you lost most/all of your terps. Not sure if you get that taste from BHO, but you do for sure with alcohol extractions. Should be perfectly safe as it's well purged. Worst case you could use it for edibles.

if this taste is from being purged at too high of a temp that is A+ news for me! If anyone can confirm that'd be perfect. Even tho the taste is gross i mainly just do not want to smoke on nasty solvents or impurities, edibles are a nice idea but out of the question just because of a personal stomach condition
