Vaporizing to make hash oil

After a few uses my vaporizer gets hash oil in the elbow.

Has anyone tried collecting oil like this on a bigger scale? For instance using something larger to vaporize bud, cooling the vapor as it goes through a tube and collecting the resin?

Well I have taken the goop out of there before...it's like scraping a bong...kinda gross, but still seems to get you high...the vape goo isn't as gross as bong goo though...but it isn't great...I would rub the goo on a paper, or just mash some little weedy dust bits to it...like take the goo and rub it all in the grinder to catch all the little floaties...and then smoke it... Or rather vape it...just make sure you have some screens and what not.

Sure, that's pretty much what I do with it now. I'm trying to figure out if I can make hash this way though (rather than collecting as a side product). The idea being, that I don't use solvents/alcohol etc and I can also get a higher ratio of good to poor resins.

waste of product since the high heat coverts this to pretty much all lesser active chemicals, to me, and many others would agree, that stuff is just waste product to be thrown away

I say that "reclaim" tastes like shit. The stuff I am talking about is like tar. Scrape up some on a metal tool and hit it with a torch. I lights easy and burns black smoke. If this is the same thing you are talking about, I vote to throw it out.
