I agree, don't use a work bag, particularly when using a machine.
While I agree with Mid, manual is my preferred means of collection.
But I like a wooden spoon, not even sure why, just seems to produce more foam for me, and I've noted that the more foam I see, the better quality the hash.
Not necessarily a better yield, but a better quality..
I'm still in shock...
Seriously, ice water shatter?...with an aromatic terp profile?
Now, I've accomplished beautiful bright colored shatters with a decent terp profile.
Mostly it's orange/golden, but the ability to acquire a shatter from a standard column extraction with butane, and basic purge techniques is a game of horse-shoes.
Too many variables to contends with with butane extractions.
If I were able to master this amazing technique..
To hell with butane..
Well...maybe?..I doubt it..probably not, haha.
However, I would love to master both means of producing a full melt.
This is now a life-goal for me to add to the list.
About 7 months ago I experienced good hash for the first time (well first time vaping a full melt without any flower in the bowl)
It was bho off a glass nail.
A pain in the ass disease, had forced many pharmaceuticals into my life.
With hash oil, the pharmaceutical meds are about as effective as tic-tacs.
And believe me...I'm not speaking of Vicoden, Percocet...I'm on meds stronger than Morphine, and it just allows me to have a steady base line of pain management.
I often haves SEVERE episodes in the midst of midnight slumber.
I'll be awakened with paralyzing pain, with levels of pain around 8 or 9 outta 10.
I could swallow a fistful of meds, and have minimal relief, but unable to get back to sleep, as a side-effect of the medicine is insomnia, particularly at such a dose.
That being said, I now keep my extract pen within an arms reach by my bed side.
Always loaded with a couple o' dabs.
After exhale on hit#1..Pain level drops from 8-9 (tears rolling down my face, paralyzing pain) down to about 6 or so, immediately alleviating symptoms.
Exhale on hit #2.. Pain drops to 3-4(normal for me).
And bonus...right back to sleep with no problem.
