Can someone tell me how the potency of ice hash compares to that of prime buds or better yet to good chemically extracted hash.
Evidently, people are getting good results but I still have some reservations. Mainly, I am wondering what percentage of resin this method collects, how much is left behind, and how much plant matter is in the final product. I'm having trouble imagining how frozen trichomes are able to pass through the screen but finely ground plant material isn't.
See, here is my dilemma. I know how to make very pure oil via chemical extraction and it is not much trouble. The oil can then be mixed with sum ground bud to make excellent hash. But, if the ice method is equally as effective it is a bit easier. So, if you could do either without trouble and there were no worries of chemical residue, would you rather save a moderate bit of fuss and wind up with ice hash or would you rather an oil based hash?
Also, on a separate note. If you are going to use bubble bags get your self a good drywall mud mixer. It is like a giant egg beater you put in the end of a drill motor. There are many types and styles to choose from.
