share that dab stash! (picture thread)

[herbivore21]

Apologies for double post, but here's a macro shot of abovementioned bubble at very high magnification. Apologies for blurriness, still getting used to manual focus lol

@herbivore21...

Apologies for shit picture gotta zoom so much with 25u and focus becomes impossible, but this stuff melts better than the last one believe it or not! 6 star IMO

What are you guys using to post pictures??

Wow dude nice collection

Be careful man, do not wipe ISO with a qtip onto quartz, ti or sapphire nails whilst hot. Make sure they have cooled completely (especially quartz/sapphire, these can easily crack from the thermal shock of cool liquid iso on a hot nail).

Sapphire Halo - jack temp up to 900f, comes up almost spotless, then magic eraser to bring it back to brand new.

Quartz halo - jack temp up to 870f, floor of dish will clean up mostly with enough time, then iso wash, the magic eraser and repeat if necessary. Quartz is way harder to clean because it doesn't distribute heat well (ruling out cleaning it spotless with the heater) and the sides of the dish get filthy if you get oil on them! Magic eraser is indispensable in cleaning dirty quartz!

Quartz has a thermal coefficent of zero. You can torch a piece of quartz until it is red hot and then use water to thermally shock it. If you have a layer of black crap built up on the quartz this technique will hopefully cause that layer of carbon to separate away from the quartz. I like to take a banger or nail and torch it until red hot while a faucet is dripping slowly and drip water into it to shock it; many people with Mothership honey pots like to dip the red-hot bucket in a glass of water, for example.

If you have a piece of quartz that cracks or shatters due to coming into contact with water or isopropyl alcohol, for that matter, it's not quartz. It's some other material, perhaps glass.

If by magic eraser you are referring to a Mr Clean Magic Eraser, that's an basically a fine sandpaper block. An abrasive sponge. It cleans by removing a fine layer of whatever you are cleaning with each wipe. Enough cleanings with this method, and over time this could wear down the quartz just like people who use another abrasive cleaning method to clean their quartz; by sandblasting the quartz to clean it of residue. This the quartz and can cause a reduction in amount of time needed for a proper dab. While this won't cause an immediate problem when used on an e-nail, I don't know enough about the amount actually being removed by a magic eraser and how many cleanings using your techniques it would take to ever cause an issue.

I do know that using just temperature and or thermal shocking won't cause a change in the material properties over time (well except for oxidation of titanium but that's a slightly different animal)

Sorry for the off topic post, but felt the information shared earlier merited further discussion.

In order to veer back towards the topic, here's some mango flower rosin I pressed out yesterday.

Thanks for sharing that and keeping us on the right track hihi.

Getting a quartz insert myself soonish, so this type of information sure is interesting... I am jumping to conclusions if I would say that this would actually be a good way to distinct quartz from other materials? So if it cracks due to thermal shock it must be something else? Or would that be going one step to far ?

This looks fancy:

Not bad for a free sample!

Got some stuff decent stuff the other day, not sure if you guys will approve but figure I might as well post it.

What does my favorite FC Grandma think of this one?

45u full melt, this is a tiny, tiny spec of it, like 2mmx3mm! This should give an idea of the sort of magnification we are using (digital microscope)

 

[BoogerMan]

Damn, @herbivore21, looks like I need to get a microscope. That pic looks so good! And of course the full melt does too

Best I can do with a 12x macro lens on my phone

Strange OG Rosin. Best strain I have worked with so far. Home grown + Home pressed = Liquid Gold

You're most kind brother That bubble had actually been sitting and degrading for a month or two between the glass slide and lense cover! I never even dried the moisture out but it didn't go moldy (small sample probably meant it could get the moisture out quickly enough anyway).

That's some nice looking rosin man, I love that mostly cloudy/clear somewhat amber type of stuff the most! It is the same as the color of heads I prefer on my flowers

EDIT:

I just wanted to post this pic here. This hash has sentimental value. It is a 2 year+ cured THC Bomb bubble hash with a particularly spicey, skunky and lime aroma. I would rate it a 3.5 star in terms of melt. This shot was taken at 250x and is again of a very small sample, not even enough to get substantial clouds in any given vape!

There's a lot of non-glandular stalks floating about from the look of it, those fine clear hair-like flecks that are really set off by the light! This sample is more brightly lit than my last full melt photo, which gives an idea of how much darker this resin is. This is undoubtedly from years of oxidation.

I squish this material and get a dark amber clear rosin that taste as limey, skunky and spicey as it smells. This stuff makes for savoury dabs that put you to sleep in the right quantity.

Here's a 250x sliver of THC Bomb bubble rosin

Check out that shine from the light, that is some greasy resin!

 

[herbivore21]

Apologies for double post, the rosin pictured above is not actually THC bomb rosin from the same headies. That was 3rd squish cluster bomb flower rosin.

This is first squish THC Bomb rosin from the above hash:

Oh man I wish I had access to so many blue strains

Flower rosin shatter at 300x under a light.

Apologies for the out of focus shot as I have dabbed some of this medicine lol. Still, that thicker deposit at the top left (darkness indicates thickness of oil slab at any given point in this pic) managed to get in focus. So much reflection of the light in this shot lol, it is fascinating how the shatter looks like liquid so close with so much light on it!

Dabbing on some Orange Herijuana wax today.

 

[grindin8732]

heres some qwiso i made a few weeks ago

 

[Scott A]

I guess you guys liked my first picture so I got some new stuff and figured I might as well throw up a picture of a little bit of it flattened out on some parchment paper. Sorry about the picture being so big.

 

[RenDabs]

First time pressing out buds in a hair straightener, got some good looking rosin out of it. Pressed about .8, got .15 back. Bud was some frosty but flavorless Chemdog. Gonna try making a HMK press to get some more pressure into the buds.
