    Volatile solvent extraction

    A volatile solvent extraction is the simplest method of chemical extraction since it involves simple equipment and solvents that are liquids at room temperature, but low boiling points. Good choices for solvents are alcohols and fine petroleum distillates (EG 99% isopropyl alcohol, 95% ethyl alcohol, and white gas), ketones tend to redux with the cannibinoids, and naphia and heavier solvents are too hard to drive off. Pick a solvent that boils at less than 90 degrees Fahrenheit, and exhibits non-polar tendencies.

    Soak your dry weed in the solvent for a few hours to a couple of days, the longer you soak it the more trash comes with the solvent. Then separate the solvent and evaporate. The left over gum is chemically extracted hash. Typically it tends to have a green/black color because most solvent also dissolve plant waxes and chlorophyll, as well as cannibinoids. This green oil can be cleaned from dark green -> light green -> red -> amber using an activated carbon filter on the solution before evaporation. Just fill a tube or funnel with activated carbon (fish tanks, air filters) and run the juice through it. If allowed to soak in ethyl alcohol (usually vodka) and left diluted the green solution is usually refereed to as green dragon, and is drank for some intense effects.

    use a silk screen to strain the fine crystals through. kind of like panning for gold.

    I paid $50 for a setof 8 5-gallon bags for making ice hash. The bags require you to scrape the residue from the bottom screen of a series of bags.
    You are able to scoop up a couple tablespoons of syrupy slag you have to dry with paper towels. I could find no way to use the bags as they were
    intended and not lose 80-90% of the golden liquid.

    I beat my close trim for 6-8 minutes in ice water. Instead of straining it through the bags I pour 2 oz. onto a large flat glass microwave plate and
    place under a fan. Next day I'll have a nice little pile of golden hash dust. Stuff is so light you can't slam a door 8 feet away without losing some.
    It's like baby powder it's that fine. In fact much of the dust fell through he screen when I tried burning some in my regular pot pipe. Now I use the
    dust on top of a new bowl of pot. Put some in a tiny antique silver salt shaker and dust a bowl when I get the urge.

    Yes butane might be easy but with bubble bags it just takes practice to get the "bubble" hash. Must clean screens with alcohol before every batch. And if done right it'll be as strong and used only water.
    You should probally do all kinds till u know what's ur fav
    Look into a washer machine with that kinda wieght.
