bubble bags backwards?

hey i just picked up bubble bags today and i tried to do a test because iv got lots of frozen b buds and trim to mess with and i was under the impression that the 220 bag went in first, then the 160, 73, and then 25 was inner one that you put the trim and ice into. i did that and ended up with all the hash at the bottom of the 25 bag along with ice and all the trim and buds ... wtf!! i salved it by pouring the #25 bags contents back into the water/ice mix and ran it through the bags in the opposite order for more of the results i was going for. were my bags improperly labeled or was i under the wrong impression??? iv seen videos with people using 25 as the catcher am i trippin??

You did it ass backwards,bro. The bag with the smallest holes goes first in the bucket.

lol for some reason i was thinking the number ment like number of holes in a certain area meaning smaller number would mean bigger holes and bigger number would mean smaller holes

Yeah the smallest number goes in first and so on.
WEhat we do is use the largest number by itself as a "work bag" and have 3 buckets....one for water, one for the work bag, and the rest of the bags go in the 3rd bucket. My bags are numbered differently.....I use a 330 for the work bag and the we only use a 180 and a 25. The reason we do that, and you'll learn from experience, that there are certain numbers that catch the most. In our case it was the 180 and 25. The 180 catches a lot of smokable plant material as hash. the 25 catches everything in between and that's fine. Just experiment a bit, but the smallest number goes in first.
Good luck!!

The "mesh" sizing scale works like that, but the bubble bags I have are marked in microns. Bigger number means bigger holes.
Top tip: the bubble bag instructions say it's fine to agitate in the "work bag". However all the bags last longer if you agitate in a separate container and use the "work bag" as your initial filter. cn

^that "top tip" canna just gave you is golden and will save you time and money..you can use two work buckets...
coastal be sure and read matt rize's ice wax thread if you haven't...so much good info in there...(the pump sprayer is the shit)

thanks everybody! im on it! im going to try another ice run tomorrow using 3 buckets and the 220 as the catcher and then 25 and 160 for the hash. im also picking up dry ice and a hash press this week so i can try and make some dry ice hash too.

Im trying to get decently good at making hash before i crop outdoor so nothing goes to waist.
