Dabbin' err day

Earlier this June at the mtn jam festival I finally came across some butane honey oil (bho) and it's pretty good.. def midgrade probably made out of trimmings or something. Since then I've done a test batch with 23g stems, vector butane, and a honey bee extractor. It was successful. Came out to about .5g. My question is does anybody have any experience with this before I invest more money? Being from NY it needs to pay off because I'm not made of money.. Should I do my next batch with oz of mids for 130 or maybe a half of trainwreck for 200? Anybody have any experience with the yields? The mids is pretty seedy.. it's a hard choice because a whole oz seems better but way less thc..

Another question is does anybody have any experience with portable vapes? Is it worth it? I was looking at the thermovape revolution.. is this a product that I could use day in day out without malfunction?? I've read a lot about how the gpens go to shit so fast.. I already bought a dry dabber.. so is it worth it to make more oil? Should I just dab and forget about portable? Should I just smoke the half and not make oil? Hard decisions

Not waste. U get higher, i think it might be cleaner/healthier? And if you counter in if u spent the same amount of money on weed to oil the oil will probably get you higher unless its really shitty oil

This. $20 of budder will get me high for a week. $20 of weed will get me high twice (BHOs fuck up your tolerance), my lungs feel great, and I don't get as drowsy from budder

BHO is not cleaner, or healthier. There are residuals left in the product even when BHO has been properly purged. Flowers and water extracted hash are the healthiest things for you to be smoking (of course depending on how much you smoke and harm your lungs). Really good bubble hash can be just or close to as potent as some of the "oil" extracts. You can dab really good full melt bubble hash and thc percentages can be up to 70%.

Yeah you would like hash oil even more. Bho is an extract that will get you super damn stoned from a rice grain sized dab.



Would you guys pass up this nug for bho? Because I wouldn't. Just curious as to what peoples decisions are.

I mean, oil gets you really fucking high but nothing beats a good tasty nug of some dank bud. And, dabs are almost creepy, with the torch and shit. Just too much to handle. I bought myself a 710 oil pen the other day and I dig that more than ripping it out of the bong. Just more chill vibes.

It's not any extra work and it smells way less/takes way less smoke to smoke... You can get a little hand torch for $30 and a little rig and its the doorstep portable smoke seshes, if you're looking for "chill vibes" idk but if you're looking to get stoned its the way I go.

Well, I got the 710 the other day and its pretty chill haha. Something I can puff wherever, I had some oil but personally I think it'd work better with shatter.

Just the other day I smoked a joint and was eating my breakfast and reading the newspaper to find this on the front page of the seattle times. Haha looks like bho will be sold by the state no mater how sketchy some people make it out to be.

Jim Wilkinson inhales cannabis concentrate at last month’s Concentrates Cup in Black Diamond.


Aurelio Romero Jr. uses a metal rod to apply a dab of hash oil to part of a bong that’s been turned red-hot by a blowtorch.

Romero, 31, inhales a cloud of superpotent vapor that fills the pipe.

“It only takes a dab the size of a rice grain to have the same effect as smoking two or three bowls” of dried marijuana, Romero explained at last month’s Concentrates Cup, a hash-oil seminar and competition in Black Diamond.

The increasingly popular practice is called dabbing. “This is America’s insanely baked future,” Rolling Stone declared in its recent Weed Issue.

It’s not what state officials envisioned when they set out to write rules for Washington’s new recreational marijuana system. And they’re still trying to figure out how to regulate the sale of concentrates, potent marijuana extracts such as hash oil.

The state’s new pot law unintentionally defined sellable marijuana in a way that excluded this use of concentrates and extracts. Initially, state regulators believed they would only be infused in edible or liquid products, and that they couldn’t allow the stand-alone sale of concentrates.

After much feedback, regulators did an about-face.

They were persuaded that banning concentrates would hand the black market a lucrative product that is potentially risky to make and consume. Better to bring concentrates under state rules and safety standards, said Randy Simmons, the state’s marijuana project director.

Aw yeah the BD bakery is so delicious. But fuck yeah man I actually live in Enumclaw but right on the other side of the bridge from Black Diamond, always down to sesh! If u come on a weekend the farmers market is huge and my brother picks up dank errls on Saturdays from there.

talk to this guy the pic alone shows he knows what he's doing. if it aint amber, and you can't see through it, I wont (and you shouldn't) smoke it. for real though in most errl you find today there are decent amount of chem "trails" left behind, mainly butane in most cases.

you can taste when it's pure and you can tell when it's not. I dab a decent amount and honestly it still kinda sketches me out, ive heard of kids in Boulder goin to the hospital only to find out theyve got high levels of titanium in their bodies (im no doctor dont even know if thats possible) or what it entails. but just the fact that there's just about zero scientific research on dabs makes me a little uneasy. i always stick to quartz (honey hole) when i can


i still love dabs tho!

If it ain't shatter it don't matter...
This guys got it. I just don't fuck with errl unless it has been tested for residual tane so I KNOW what I'm smoking. And no doubt you can taste the difference in clean bho. When J first started dabbing I was consistently getting some gross black tar looking shit but I thought it was fine cuz j didn't undertakd what it was at all, and I thought it was so harsh because it was dank but now that I smoke clean stuff I know I was just hacking up a lung because of all the residual tane.

On another note, finally got the $$ to go in on some high end glass :))

smoking hash oil everyday gets really uncool after a few months (unless you just take 1 a day). If you have an addictive personality I wouldnt recommend it because you just start taking dabs after dabs whenever you start to come down and rinse and repeat until your a hashed out zombie goon

very true. ive see kids go down this road and it sucks. dab in moderation. this past month ive been missing my girl a lot and been kinda fed up with my friend so i was dabbing (a lot) more than usual and i could literally feel myself slowing down. id talk slower, sound less intelligent and mumble like a mofo. and id also have memory like shitttt. keep that in mind friends. not to mention it feels great to be clear minded after having a sappy dab brain lol

I'd say i probably dab way to much, but i'm like the opposite of most people. Even if i'm so fucking dabbed out and almost zombie status i still have motivation to do fun things. Plus when i'm out of town or somewhere without dabs i don't give a shit and rarely think about doing them.. All about the user


but ya i'll take like 2 or 3 dabs and go climb a mountain and shred it no problem.

You can't get all of any solvent out, inhaling vaporized CO2 isn't any good for your either..

I have a vape pen and I love it I just bougHt a cheap one at my local head shop. But I have never made my own i just get it from the dispense which a gram of bho will last much much longer than a gram of nug. I think it's personal preference and I would still rather smoke bud over dabs just because I am not able to function for the rest of the day if I take dabs.

Why can't people just smoke a joint anymore? What's the point in getting so baked that you're couch locked and just eat? It's not really that fun, way more fun to just share a j with some friends and skate or something...

Do either when the time permits... after smoking for awhile it takes some hash to get fried.

haha joints don't get you baked enough? you need some better weed or need to stop dabbing so much. A .6g J of good weed should get you completely ripped.

I went sailing with this chick and we smoked a fat ass J probably around a gram. Once we went in she could not get out of the boat. Its that strong indica.

You live not to far from me actually.

Also I may be getting a few pounds of trim from northern cali this fall. Either donating it to dispensaries or trying to do some hash runs so I may need some pointers.
