Extraction If I ultimately want to get resin and make ejuice, should I squish flower or hash?

[McDee]

I hardly ever use my grinder. I don't like combusting my weed to be honest. I used to. But not anymore. And while I have never dabbed, I've seen some vids that make me want to run far away from that shit. But if its vaporized, i would be interested. Bu the e-juice appeals to me the most.

Dabs has ruined smoking bud. It's so much stronger, smoking doesn't get me there after dabs. Gotta give a break to get back to smoking. I use licks in vape pen works well few hits and your good. It's a 1 to 1 ratio so 1 gram of rosin makes 2ml of ejuice. But you can use less or more to your liking.

Making bubble is a real process so If Your making ejuice quick washing with ethanol makes sense. But there's still the purge to think about, I would consider dabbing on some high purity water hash at some point though! [emoji2][emoji7]
And yeah a tolerance break is good I like full spectrum terpenes Vaping weed and then the odd dab. To each their own. peace

@Mcdee @Arthur @Bunny

When making ISO do you have to dry your nugs first? Cure them as well?

@lunarman What is ISO not great with abbreviations lol as I just use 1 hahaha. Only thing come to mind is isopropyl alcohol. I press dry nugs the more cured the better, but the best taste I ever got was from fresh frozen nugs. It was a watery mess but the flavor is unmatched. So explain what ISO means to an old young man lol.

dry as a bone for best results.eth for tinctures/iso for hash.as you shouldnt really drink iso.
everclear dont get it here 180 ish vodka from internet or a very fancy upmarket offy if they exist.
but it comes down to where in the world you are,one will be easy got and the other not.

The full acronym is QWISO (Quick-Wash ISOpropyl). I found my answer. Fresh bud can be great when extracted using ISO alcohol. But don't wash for too long because you'll end up getting too much chlorophyll.

I have a full plant that did not have nice dense buds so I'm going to make shatter/oil using QWISO out of the buds and trim and then water it down to e-juice using that wax liquidizer like product. I just filled up 4 large mason jars with buds and thru them in the freezer. I think I have maybe 4 more jars worth of fresh bud/trim too. So hoping to get a nice return of oil. I'm glad I grew this plant out even though I had issues and the buds are fluffy. It should make some decent oil and e-juice. And bubble hash as well.

Thanks Archie. I have 90% Everclear and 99% ISO. I use the Everclear for tinctures and ISO for shatter/wax/whateveryouwanttocallit. I did some random searches and reading and I'm going to do the ISO with frozen fresh buds. I'll try some dried to later just to compare for myself and see what is what.

That's what I thought you were talking about in post, but thought you were making rosin. I don't make anything with solvents other than a tincture. If you want rosin that come out like shatter (consistency and stability wise) not sure if making shatter is stronger than non solvent rosin but ripleys og is the shit. Everytime I make it i say it looks just like shatter. Best bud I have made rosin with hands down! Heavy smoke too.

I don't have Ripley OG yet. I picked up a bunch of Mephisto gear on black friday. First two I dropped are Skywalker's which are supposed to be very greasy. They are on day 20. So still got a while to go before they are done. This is my collection of MG right now. I'm going to order more on the next sale. Easter sale might be good. I'll make sure I get some Ripley's.

Nice little stash bud, some good shit there. Mephisto is my cornerstone of my collection I have 23 strains on hand and adding. Waiting on that next drop for some new gear. I have what some people would call a problem, I can't stop buying seeds!
