Thread: get Full Melt from normal hash or surface bubble (Rosin)

  1. #1

    Default get Full Melt from normal hash or surface bubble (Rosin)

    hey, i wasnt really sure where to put this, as it isnt dry sift, and it isnt ice water extraction.... i guess it would be hot water hashoil extraction from hash (***NO SOLVENTS***)

    anyways i found this while wandering around icmag.com. The guy who figured it out calls it "Rosin"

    basically you take a pyrex dish, or metal bowl, and heat it up double boiler style. then you take it off the heat, put your keif or hash (it works faster with keif, but you can use broken up hash) into it, and start mixing it around a bit until it starts to heat up a bit and get gummy.

    Then when it starts to stick together, you start rubbing the hash on the dish. not to hard, not to soft. if you pess too soft, and nothing happens, press too hard and the hash itself sticks to the dish, and then you have to get the hash off. what you want is kind of a thin oil looking amber coloured film to build up. if the dish gets too cold, you might have to reheat the bowl to get the film the keep building up

    anyways, once the bowl is completely coated in a film that kinda looks amber, get ALL the little peices of hash (yes even the really really small peices) that have broken off and put them back into the main ball. then you get out your razor blade, and scrape off the amber colour film, and there you have it, you now have a little peice of full melt. Now do it over and over again until your peice of hash doesnt leave any more film on the dish.

    as for what you can expect for a yeild.... well.... for my first try doing this, which was yesterday. i put 3.5g of 25u decent surface melt bubble in the dish yesterday, and i got 1.2g of full melt out of it, and the 2.3g of 25u hash that is left over still bubbles... sooo im gunna throw the rest of it in tonight and see how much more i can get out of it

    there is only 2 problems with this method.... Time and Effort.... it took an hour last night to get 1.2g (keep in mind it was my first try, and i imagine next time will be faster cuz i know what it should look like on the dish), and you have to sit overtop of boiling water for that whole time, so it gets a little warm as well.... for myself, i find its worth it to do for personal amounts.... as for larger amounts.... well i guess it depends on how much you like full melt

    it also seems that you can "re-rosinate" rosin, as on the "how-to" thread on icmag it shows him do just that, he takes a peice of the "rosin", and re-does it, and the final product is a complete different colour than the origonal "rosin"

    anyways, here is the link in case you wanna see pictures
    http://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.p...ighlight=rosin

    he has some beautiful fullmelt shots of that stuff (the best pics of the rosin are at the end of the first post, and also on the 4th post of the thread)

    keep in mind that obviously THE HASH THAT YOU USED TO MAKE THE ROSIN WILL NOT BE AS GOOD AS IT WOULD HAVE BEEN IF YOU DIDNT MAKE THE ROSIN, and the more rosin you take out, the worse that hash will be. however, like i said, last night i got 1.2g of full melt from 3.5g of surface bubblehash so far, and the remaining 2.3g of bubblehash still has lots of surface bubble, and is still good hash (better than anything u can buy anyways)

    Best of all, it doesnt use any nasty solvents!!!! woohoo

    - please note that according to the originator, this method apparently DOESN'T work with GREEN hash ( i suspect that the thc melts, and then instead of transfering to the dish, it gets absorbed back into the plant matter) so you might not wanna waste your time with greenish hash - although im sure none of you have green hash anyways

    ill throw up some pics of my origonal hash, the rosin, and the hash after removing the rosin when i get home and finish extracting the rest of it tonight

    This is my first experience with Full Melt, and i gotta say that after smoking some of it, I will definatly be finally getting around to buying some bags on payday. Between any full melt bubble that you might get from the 73u and 90u bubblebags, plus extracting rosin from all the other keif from the other filters, im gunna be one happy guy, and i'll never have to smoke solvent based product again WOOHOO

    anyone ever try this before? or more importantly, does anyone know a similar method that works as well, but isnt as time consuming?

    Hello fellow fullmelters...
    its good to see the info on rosin making its way into the cannabis community! the first time i ever extracted rosin from hash (and actually smoked it) i almost fell over from one of the first crazy rosin headrushes i had!!! i went over to a buddies place to show him and he was amazed!! then i knew i was on to something really special as he is a real resin head!! this shit fucks you up!!! i have made a lot of amazing full melt dry sift in my day from a lot of strains (most all you can get full melt in ideal conditions) and the best of the best stacked up with rosin.... so the nice thing about this rosin tech is that you can get the best full melt experience from hash that isnt full melt. doesnt bubble...its worth the trouble to make some rosin! i will agree that it is a simple extraction method that does take time(you do get quicker at it as you learn) and it would be nice to have a better method to do this non solvent based extract. i am up for hearing ideas and suggestions to make this process easier and more effective...please share as i did for the gain of knowledge and experience of all of us heads!

    Hey welcome to the site compashon, i am really happy to see your information being posted.
    Please any photo essays you want to share with us , do so, we always enjjoy a good photo essay>
    I will try and get around to this for not only the photo essay, but also to get some sick macro shots of the procedure, i suspect what is happenig is the wax membranes that hold the cannabinoid profile as well as all the volatile oils is being squeezed out. Leaving the wax membrane behind and extracting the oils. Very cool shots for sure, mouthwatering.
    hope to see you around more often.

    Peace

    thanks bubbleman,i will start a rosin thred when i get a few...i m not exactly sure on what is happening in this process but its like a simple distillation or dry distilation...when you reach the right temp it vaporizes the most volatile terpenes (you can smell them pretty strong)and in the process it leaves the smear of high thc mixture behind(its oily at first then as it cools it dries out) some contaminant (if you can call hash that!!) can be in the mix so i am always careful to just get the oily goods as per making the best full melt rosin i can... sometimes its gummy and other times its powdery...not sure whats up with that strain maybe??? i know that if your hash has a bit of stickiness it will make rosin...if your hash is totally dry and powdery it might not...but its worth trying if you want a few hits of cream fullmelt!!!
