Kif to Hash.... how to?

the keif/hash will stick to the foil and cause a mess unless its non stick foil, ya gotta use non stick

 

unless for some reason your hell bent on hash, i would say just smoke it. I guess its fun to try every once in a while, but i see no real point. Just makes smoking seem more complicated.....but thats just my .02

 

You mean just smoke the kif?

I find hash is way more convenient than kif, you can make a lump with it, and it burns good.

Its also fun to process the whole thing

 

i guess it depends on the person. The process is fun, but i only smoke in my house, and within arms length of my grinder, so i just sprinkle it all over everything i smoke...and its all good. Im lazy too...

 

a little late to the party, but happy april twentieth in the year of our lord two thousand seven....

anyway, my method is this,

to convert kiefy powder to gummy cakes pile it into the middle of a large steel spoon, then cook over an unscented candle while pressing/chopping/flipping/stirring with a smaller spoon. if it starts smoking its getting too hot, just chill for a minute. watch it change colors and get darker, stickier, it will cook down into a smaller more solid mass than whatcha started with. an electric stove coil would probably work for this process too

....why would somebody wanna bother, though?

because the flavor is different, it burns way longer, and is far easier to handle than a powder

 

The only reason to make hash from kief is to have it more compact and easier to carry. I used to carry around a film canister with a bunch of kief balls, then just load them into my cigarette one-hitter.

mmm....
I dont know guys to me hash and kief are two different things.
Hash are trichomes extracted from buds before it undergoes any kind of combustion process.
Kief is what's left after smoking a nugget or hash and it's basically a mix of tar , thc and little to no, other cannabinoids.
So IMO you cant turn kief into hash. What you are trying to do here is compress the kief into blocks so that it's easier to carry around. So I would just scrape the kief off the bowl , roll it into little balls with my fingers and keep doing this untill I have one decent sized kief ball. dont expect it to get you nearly as high as some good hash would,though

 

Kief-Brown powder that falls off your bud
Hash-Compressed Kief
resin-same as kief
residue-pipe scrapings

 

I'm sure slang is a little different there than US. For the most part in the US, Kif is uncompressed hashish.

 

I AM From Lebanon where hashish came from
Lebanese hashish !!
and we can find it in TRipoli ( where the war is now )

 

oops sorry I feel like an ass....

 

I put my kief in celophane a few weeks ago in a ball, then heated it with a lighter and made the hash hard as a rock. But last night I tried the same thing and the kief just wouldn't stick together at all.

 

No need, kif in originating countries sometimes means a crude mixture of stems buds and leaves chopped up. Slang depends on where you're from.

As far as the kif not sticking, you might have been doing something a little wrong. What I used to do when I smoked, to make hash balls on the fly out of kif, I'd:

Put the kif in a regular thickness rolling paper start to roll it back and forth to start forming it. Hold al ighter underneath it to add heat while you roll it like you're rolling the tightest joint you have ever rolled, rolling slowly so it heats up a lot. You should end up with a dark brown log that can be pressed into a little ball.

 

I do this all the time with the Kif that I collect with my Wicca box.

1. Take a small sheet of aluminum foil and fold it over twice making a 6"x6" square.
2. Place a nice sized amount of Kif powder in the middle of the sheet in the fold.
3. Fold the sheet of foil over with the hash in the middle and flatten to semi seal it.
4. Use the side of a Bic lighter to press and smooth it flat and fairly even.
5. Gently heat the foil with the lighter only applying it a few seconds at a time, do both sides a few times. You just want to heat it enough to press it.
6. While it is still warm from heating use the lighter again to press on the foil, this time press very firmly and smooth it across the foil.
7. Carefully peel the foil back and gently pry the melted kif/hash from the foil.
8. Roll it up in to a nice ball.
9. Enjoy.

 

rub your hands together till they are nice and warm, pile kief in palm, knead into a disk, fold it up, rub hash off hand and thumb and smash it on the main blob, keep working it till it darkens and it doesnt crack when you squish it.
