Dry ice and water do not mix

Actually they do ever had club soda or seltzer? I believe it makes carbonic acid if you look at chemistry.
From what I have heard dry ice will work in bubble hash method.

lol yea in a controlled environment it makes carbonic acid which will change the acidity of the water. It also produces carbon dioxide gas which can kill you if not properly ventilated.

It will turn water into ice, it is not making it warmer.

The person I know that tried it claims they got more plant material in the hash vs regular ice water. They added the dry ice in small pieces and waited for the bubbles to pretty much stop. Of course this is all anecdotal. Just be sure to be in a ventilated area or outside like they were.

Hey been thinking of doing the same thing using dry ice to make bubble hash. But instead of using it in the water was thinking of freezing the flower with dry ice, then adding that to pure ice and distilled water at 1ºc . Then washing it on a short gentle cycle. In theory the flower is -75⁰C so the heads should come of very easily even on a gentle short wash giving a better return? On the first wash. Would like to hear the more experienced guys opinion on this.

I had a theory I asked about a while back, and someone said “they’d try it and report back” but no one has yet.
What if someone used a salt BRINE in their work bucket/bag to help fracture the trichomes off? A brine will get considerably colder than plain ice water, and you could theoretically do your next washes in “clean water” to wash the hash. Salt dissolves into solution, but the trichomes do not, so it should be possible to seperate/wash.
Thoughts?

Too cold and you get too much vegetation contamination as thin parts of the leaves shatter off was my experience. You want it just cold enough so the trichome stalks will shear but not so cold part of the leaves shatter. Hope that helps
