3g ground medium grade bud was weighed out into 1g piles

The first gram was rubbed on a screen - to make 70mg of potent very pressable hash - each time it was rubbed after this more came thru but not as good in color, taste or fx.

The second gram was soaked for 30 seconds per soak, 3 times in naptha - on evaporation this yeilded about 170mg sticky hardish hash.

The third gram was soaked as above but using benzine. - on evap the product was much the same visually but it smelled much nicer than the naptha hash and there was about 190mg - so just a dash more - odd.

Benzine was a clear winner but the hash was still not satisfactory so the product from pile 2 and 3 were combined - this was placed in a shot glass and minimal hot acetone was added.

A slight greenish color was noticed so activated charcoal was added - this was all then filtered through a pre-wet filter(with acetone) and evaporated.

This fine product was then placed on a small metal plate and repeatedly heated from below with a flame - each time as it started to heat up it was cooled and the bubbles mixed in with a probe

This dried to a sharding glassy hash of unexplainable power - by far the strongest hash by weight iv smoked.

1/2 lb mids + 300-500 mL n-heptane --filter/rotavap--> win

He wins and he even gets his heptane back....

from above - strongest hash ever

Gooey gooey deliciousness <3

Phlux, I was just curious if you knew how this tek compared to doing a butane extraction? The stuff in the picture looks incredebly potent.

I take my med range leftovers/ trimmings and make butane extracted hash and I find that to be almost more potent than I can tolerate. For me its psychedelic. I had never considered using heptane or benzene or any other solvent for that matter. You got me curious.

Thanks for sharing.

Do you know what range of temperature you were heating it to in this step and for what period of time?
Is any sort of chemical change liable to happen at that heat; ex: evaporation of volatile oils; decarboxylation of THCA -- Perhaps the bubbles are a direct effect of this reaction.

Nice work Phlux. Ever tried Hexane? I'll have to look into other solvents.

Phlux, when you run BHO what is your process to purge the tane? I've heard foafs using vacuum chambers. SWIM usually uses a bit of warm ethanol to release the trapped tane, then slowly evap it back into an oil or hard shatter on glass over indirect heat. Always seeking to learn new techniques and approaches. Your shatter looks great, SWIM will have to try some new solvents soon.

I tried this last night and you aren't kidding about the potency!

I started with 4g of sugary shake leaves trimmed from 1/4 lb of primo and after two 100ml room temp pulls with VM+P naptha, I ended up with just under a gram of gooey deliciousness.

I then did another heated pull and got a little bit of stuff that wasn't as good as the first two pulls. Kinda insignificant really. And while that last pull was evaping I pulled with some IPA and got some nasty smelling stuff.

I highly recommend anyone who has some extra "trash" to try this technique. This wins my Trash to Stash award for sure.
