Hi Frenchy or anyone else who has purchased the boltdbags. Do these bags drain faster than say your generic Bubble bags? I am looking to purchase them and am wondering what the main differences are. We did some handmade IWE yesterday and the 25 micron bag took a long time to drain, will the boldtbags drain significantly more quickly, and if so, roughly by how much?

Much appreciation.
The full mesh drain faster, stay cleaner, last longer and are lighter. The 25 microns will take longer to drain doesn't matter the type of bag

My hash press!
$1.54 at Home Depot.
1 - hammer, I use a 1lb dead blow hammer, but any hammer will do.
1 - pvc fitting is 1/2" slip x 3/4" thread as a body to press kief in.
1 - dowel 1/2" x 6" or substitute a tool.
6- Nickels fit nice and tight, I stack 3 then fill with up to 4 grams of kief, cover with another Nickel and place on hard surface.
I use a 3/8" nut driver as my dowel, just place over nickel hit start hitting with hammer stack another nickel when it goes down.
You will warp the nickels if you only use 1 or 2, use 3 min on the bottom and 2-3 on top then Pound.

After you crush it flip it over and use your tool or dowel and hammer and tap out the nickels and pressed kief.

I set my oven to 220 (I use a heat gun to keep accurate) place pressed kief on foil heat for 10 minutes.
Remove and wrap in Saran Wrap and roll with anything round.
throw it in the freezer and wait an hour.
or
Throw back in press then freeze press so cookie will separate from nickel. The Nickels will get some build up, mine have!

You will have a nice chunk, it's a two gram minimum to get a good cookie, I have wedged 5 grams into the tube.
Just pound some make space then add some more then pound some more.
then bake!
PVC is not quite good enough for a press and frankly the technique is poor, the result as well. Technique often used for bad quality kief.
There is a lot of better way to press my friend

The gravity method is quite old I think, I learned it with an Afghani Hashishin in India in 1980, his great grandfather already used the technique.

it works good im not sure if french customized his or not but i was thinking about getting a piece of 220 micro screen and hook it up on the hose so no green chunks or anything come through the hose at all, straight gold water

I notice the water in his vids was really clean too. Im guessing his model may have a small screen or he added on. He also made it a point not to pulverize/powderized the trim by letting it soak up for some time.

I didnt see the exact one he uses until I already ordered the panda, and the one that I found that he has was only $70.
Im thinking a small screen of some sort can be put inside of the washer bucket... Pantyhose :-)

dont get me wrong if ur already using a 220 bag no big deal but when i first did it i got rid of the 220 and 160 bags and just has 120, 75 and 45 and got some chunks but no biggie this stuff would normaly be getting throwd out so everything is a plus its not blonde because it was trim i already ran once but still gets u high and still 30 a gram, cant wait to run some good trim

Im mainly just trying to understand how to judge the quality and grade. I always thought the finer micron was the higher grade, but the way mine came out it was the opposite. Then also trying to understand why one grade was powdery like kief when I break it up, and the other grade was very oily and sticky melty goodness. But to me the high was much stronger on the more powdery blonde hash, verses the slightly darker oily.
Can anyone (Frenchy) elaborate on this please

you can light it if it bubbles it high quality. Theres so many variables when it come to witch bag is going to be the best but mainly strain dependent, some strains that sweet spot might be 90 micron others might be 120 micron and so on

you can also place a small bit of loose trichomes in your hand and place your thumb on the pile and close your hand, the faster and easier they press the better quality. High quality will melt together after about 10-15 seconds

You want a perfect flow, unhampered. I even cut some of the inside grill teeth as I have shown in some pics. You would literally put a plug to your exhaust my friend
