Can someone tell me the best way to collect the resin from my pipe, and turn it into oil? The pipe is an a'maze'd: I tried scraping it out once, but all I got a was a mess. I heard that I can use Iso, but not too sure how to do it. Thanks! (please no replies stating that smoking resin is bad for you)
Ok, but I can't just light up the resin, it just builds up inside the coils. I'll try to post a pic of it later. Eventually it gets really built up, and impedes smoking, and I don't want to waste another bunch of resin.
paperclips work great for getting inside threads or "coils" as you called them.....just take a lighter and heat up the resin a bit and then use the paperclip.......be careful not to over-heat the resin, it will turn into a liquid then you have to wait for it to kind of re-solidify. But if you heat it up just right, it is kinda like a putty. - 42o -
Collect all your resin and then mix it with shake. That way you can sorta form it into a ball or something and it should chill in your bowl for a while. -Mike
Try simmering it in water. make sure one outlet is on bottom and t'other is on top so that oil will rise to the top and out into the water. It's a mess but if one is desperate........
I made the mistake of letting a glasspiece boil for too long/too high temp and that bad boy shattered in the pot. I know that a good glasspiece is probably pyrex and should withstand those sorts of temperatures, but be careful.
No self respecting pot smoker would smoke that shit, it'll give you a nasty cough and make your mouth taste like pigshit (not that I've ever tasted pigshit!) and it's really heavy on the lungs. It's not oil, it's tar which is full of the extremely bad stuff that you really don't want to smoke, just get pissed instead
Absolutely ye olde orange haired one!! Unless you live as close to the dam as I do It takes me less than three hours from my doorstep to the Greenhouse on Oudezijds Voorburgwal.
Your over exagerating it isnt that bad, if you smoke enough it will get you mighty high and enough being a ball maybe half the size of a marble, all you have to do is fill your peice with alchohol shake vigorously drain into a little bowl and repeat, once you have a nice black resin puddle put it under a light and let it evaporate and scrape it out and form into a ball, i did it last night when i ran out of pot and i got verrrrrry fucked up.
I think of myself as a fairly self respecting pothead, as you say... and yet I scrape my bowl and smoke it. Actually, I like the feeling a lot. It depends a lot on the quality of the weed that the resin came from I guess, but personally I have never felt bad or coughed up a lung or any of the things people describe. each to their own I guess, but I think everyone should at least try it once and decide for themselves.
well if you cant get inside it too well soak it in 90% rubbing alcohol or higher. you could go lower, it just takes longer for the leftover water to evaporate too... but yeah, clean it out with rubbing alcohol and put the alcohol on a mirror or some flat glass surface and let it sit in front of a fan, or i put it in front of a dehumidifier. everything evaporates out and you scrape the remaining tar off of the mirror with a razor blade and mix it with some shake or if i dont have any shake i just wrap half a paper around the ball and smoke that.
I'm so with you on this, my friend. I actually registered into this forum just to reply to this thread and share with you a bit of my experience. tl;dr I like smoking that stuff, and you should avoid everything but the mildly-thick paste that is mixed with some of the unburnt remains of your weed below the bowl. ------------------------------------------------------- 1st.- Depending on the design of your bowl pipe or whatever, you may find three kinds of residues. a.- The first is usually found near to the hole from which you smoke, is thin and stinks as hell and (yes you guessed right) is mixed with saliva. You should definitely avoid this oneb.- The second kind is a thick paste that will stack near the bowl (or below it if your device alows for it) this will be mixed with bits of the stuff that was not burnt. This one is the best and probably cleaner, and you can store it for later use or whenever you feel like you want something more uhm... concentrated.The third and last is a very thick and almost solid paste that will appear within the bowl. This stuff is not very good but is still quite powerful 2nd.- I can't stress enough the fact that YOU SHOULD AVOID TYPE-a because it is probably even dangerous to smoke that shit. If you don't believe me give it a go but don't say I didn't warned you. Also, you may want to avoid some of the methods described on this thread to acquire the oil such as boiling/shimmering and the rubbing alcohol thing since that crap type-a oil will be mixed with the rest of the stuff and ewww. 3rd.- The best method to acquire the type-b stuff is by using some toothpicks or even better a very small spatula like the ones used by dentists to apply stuff on a tooth. This however is entirely dependent on the design of your pipe, some pipes will allow you to use a butter knife while others will be a pain in the butt to collect. 4rd.- The type-c stuff is harder to get. You will want to use a sharp knife or a small screwdriver, again depending on the type of bowl. You will have to gently slice or scratch the surface of the bowl to get it. A small warning on this one: Do not try this on devices made of paste, bone and aluminium, since you are scratching the stuff is possible to take a part of the bowl's surface in the process and get it mixed with the type-c stuff, so stick to crystal/pyrex or avoid type-c at all. 5.- Last, be careful on where you store your device. You want to avoid dust and other unwanted particles to get trapped by your type-b stuff. Avoid also pockets, there are a lot of cloth fibers and other particles in there. Hell, not only to collect the oil, avoid storing your pipe/bowl in your pockets because you put your hands everywhere, then don't wash them, then you put your hands in your pockets, then you put your pipe in your pocket and lastly you put your pipe in your bloody mouth... enjoy your herpes. I hope you find this somewhat useful.
