@Two.Bears thanks but no. you don't know what I have inhaled don't assume I smoke swag cause I cough hard. I take small controlled flower rips. Any decent size dab will make me sweat and cough. 0 ppm winterized, rosin never tried alcohol based but co2 all the same big hash hits... lung collapsing sweats. Again I don't think they are bad but for me flower is preferred.
How do you use the green dragon. I tried s tincture but didn't like so much alcohol. So i purge till a concentrate snd dab it.
That is either QWISO or QWEHO depending if you use isopropyl or ethanol to extract the cannabinoids.Green dragon can be evaporated down and dabbed, or can be diluted, flavored & sweetened... I plan to make mine, store it in the freezer until ready to use. Add distilled water, peppermint oil & light corn syrup... Green Peppermint schnapps.
Flowers for the past 40 yrsThere are people that are die hard flower fans, and there are people that prefer the concentrates?
Which side of the debate are you on?
Me; well i am of the opinion that flower is dead. Here is my conclusion.
A. Flower dries out and not good to smoke. A good concentrate can be good a year or more.
B. Smoking you inhale the cannabinoids along with potassium nitrate, clorophyll, lipids, alkaloids, carbon monoxide, etc.
A concentrate has
NO combustion
No smoke
Some people take 1/2 gram dabs in one inhalation. That is like smoking about 4 joints.
Why do i say this? I have made extracts via Hash, QWEHO, and the QWISO methods.
99% isopropyl extracts 17.2-24.5%. About the same as butane extractions. 3.5 grams (1/8 Oz) yields .5-.7 grams of concentrate depending on the strain.
Concentrates require much less space than flower. 1 gram concentrate takes about as much space as a Nickel in your pocket, and has the cannabinoids as 6.5-7 grams of flower.
Lastly concentrates have never been easier to come by.
One bennefit is Concentrates can be made fron tge buds, trim, leaves and stems. Here in AZ 7 grams flowers cost. $90-100 at dispensary 1 gram shatter costs $40-55
This is only a partial list of concentrates that i know.
a. Dry sift
b. Bubble Hash
c. Pressing Rosin
d. QWEHO (Quick Wash Ethanol Hash Oil)
e. QWISO (Quick Wash ISOpropyl
f. BHO (Butane Honey Oil)
g. RSO (Rick Simpson Oil)
h. CO2
i. Namptha
J. Hexane
Here are the methods i use and prefer
1. Dry sift to get the resin heads then press Rosin.
This has 0 Solvents
2. There is always cannabinoids left behind when you press Rosin. I put the packets of resin heads pressed for Rosin in a jar. When the jar is half full i pour 99% isopropyl over everything to dissolve the remaining cannabinoids. Filter out the packets and winterize the liquid to remove clorophyll fats lipids and solids.
Always before i boiled off the alcohol. After i get moved i plan to buy either a water or essential oil still to reclaim about 90% of my Solvent before the final purge.
I have vaporized bho, QWEHO, and QWISO.
From my experience i prefer the QWISO. Once winterized and purged correctly the vapor is less harsh than BHO
The effects are as good as BHO. Unfortunately the flavor isnt as good as BHO but the vapor isnt as harsh on the throat and lungs as BHO.
Thanks but NO thanks. Flower sets my throat and lungs on fire.Flowers for the past 40 yrs
Can't see the point of going to all that trouble, the flavour of the flower is part of the journey of the growing why turn the flavour bad by the process you use , it's just a simple weed with unbelievable property's . Flowers all the way .There are people that are die hard flower fans, and there are people that prefer the concentrates?

You took the words right outta my mouth Jumpin ,lol. I smoke as much doing dabs as flowers. Plus i have enough probs with expansion already. lol. i'll smoke someones dabs if offered but really could give a fuck !Flowers in my camp. Along with homemade edibles. I'll do hash or hashoil but only on rare occasion. I get a tolerance too quickly with dabbn
You should have done a poll! Add me for flowers. I'm just kinda old school, ya know? Not throwing shade on dabs or those who prefer them, it's just my own preference.
