How to smoke Ice Water Hash with a Domeless Titanium Nail

Written by brokenlungz

I feel like this is a necessary tutorial to check out if you want to get in to smoking full melt ice water hash.  This is a pretty simple tutorial, you just need to get a few specific items, and of course, some high grade ice water hash.

1. Butane Torch, or any kind of torch that will heat the nail sufficiently.

2. Glass cylinder, in my case, a round glass oil dome.

3. Domeless titanium nail, preferably a Highly Educated Duali-Ti 14/18mm Domeless Titanium Nail.

4. Parchment paper, I like the unbleached kind, but use whatever you have access to.  Cut a long rectangle, then fold it in half.

5. Metal screens, I am using brass as it is the only one I can find, although I would like to try some titanium screens made by Essential Extracts (http://essentialextracts.co/site/product/essential-ti-screen-2/)

6. Regular tweezers for handling the screen.

7. High grade ice water hash.

For this tutorial, I will be smoking some Pineapple Express, 90 micron ice water hash, extracted by chewberto420 and myself (brokenlungz)

Start by opening up your folded piece of parchment paper.  Pour out a small amount of whatever ice water hash you want to smoke.

Pour enough out to form a small pile in the middle of your parchment paper.

Fold over the parchment paper so the hash is sandwiched in the middle.  I like to use the tweezers to hold down the ends of the parchment.

Heat up your glass cylinder.  I’m using a small, glass oil dome, but any glass cylinder will do, like a bottle or glass cup.  It doesn’t need much heat, just enough so it is warm to the touch.

Firmly press the heated cylinder over the pile of hash that is sandwiched in between the folded piece of parchment paper.

With any luck, your pile should have flattened out into a oily patty.  Using this technique will release any oils in the hash.

Successfully flattened patty of ice water hash!

Make sure you always clean your screens before their first use!  Just use your tweezers to grab the screen, and torch it red hot.

Next, take one of your screens and press it firmly to the patty.  If you really want to make sure it sticks, fold the parchment paper back over and roll your cylinder over it again.

Use your tweezers to grab the edge of the screen.  I usually pry up from underneath while grabbing the top of the screen…

…and pull up!  The whole patty and screen should all come off the parchment paper as one.  Continue to hold the tweezers tight while you heat your nail.

You pretty much want the entire patty flattened over the screen.  The thinner the patty, the better it will bubble.

Heat your nail sufficiently, but it doesn’t need to be red hot.

The moment of truth!  If you have some true full melt ice water hash, you will find out now!  After you heat the nail, simply drop the screen on top of it, and hit!  I find that the screen will get sucked to the nail if you start to draw on it before you drop the screen, which is really helpful sometimes.  It may take a while for everything to melt completely, so keep hitting it as long as you can!  If you can’t finish it, just use the tweezers to pull the screen back off.

If you have some truly clean, full melt ice water hash, there should be little-to-nothing left on the screen.  Any leftovers can easily be burned off with a lighter or torch, and brushed away.  This is some hash that chewberto420 and myself extracted, and I am very pleased with how it turned out.  It bubbles and melts great!  Thanks for checking out this tutorial, and make sure you spread the knowledge!  Read up more about ice water hash from one of the masters, Nikka T, at http://www.essentialextracts.co.

Edible Review: “Premium Indica Mint Chocolate Bar” from “Dabba Chocolate”

Written by brokenlungz

Tonight I tried out a Premium Indica Mint Chocolate Bar from Dabba Chocolate, and it definitely didn’t disappoint!  My friend and fellow writer on here, chewberto420, said he really enjoyed the Sativa bar, so I figured I should give the Indica one a try.  The packaging for these are very proper, and I really like the color scheme.

This is an Indica based edible, lab tested at 100mg THC.  It is tested by Rm3 Labs in Denver, CO, so you know you can trust it!

You can easily break up the bar into 5 pieces so you can perfectly control your dosage.  The entire bar is 100mg THC, making each piece 20mg THC.

This chocolate bar is very tasty.  Classic milk chocolate with smooth peppermint to back it up.  It tastes a lot like an Andee’s Mint Chocolate Bar, with almost no taste of Cannabis!

This chocolate bar is very effective.  I have a high tolerance, so I when I eat an edible I tend to eat it very quickly.  I felt the full effects of this edible within 40 minutes, and I feel great.  This edible is great for anxiety, insomnia, and pain relief.  My body feels numb, and I have a major couchlock-effect going on.  I am very relaxed, my mind feels at ease and I’m not over thinking everything like I usually do.  One of the best parts about this edible is the fact that it is made with H20 Extracted Hash, or Ice Water Hash, so you know it is truly clean medicine.  I feel like this is one of the most effective edibles I have tried in a while, I will definitely be getting some more to help my with my anxiety.  I would highly recommend this to anyone suffering from anxiety or insomnia, or if you just want to be stuck to your couch for a few hours!  Pick up some Dabba Chocolate at Pagosa Organic Therapeutics, or check out their website for a full listing of where to find em, at http://www.DabbaChocolate.com!

Ice Water Hash Tutorial: COMING SOON!

So last night, thanks to my friend and fellow writer/contributor to Colorado Bud Blog, chewberto420, I got to see how to properly make ice water hash.  Even though all I really did was collect supplies and take photos, I still learned a lot!  The main thing about it was making sure everything was clean, which involved buying unbleached paper towels, Reverse Osmosis (RO) water, and ice cubes made from RO water.  Keep your eyes open for a full tutorial on how to make ice water hash, coming very soon!

Capsule Review: “OG Essential Capsules” from “Essential Extracts”!

Written by brokenlungz

I am really excited about today’s review!  These are Essential Capsules from Essential Extracts, made exclusively by Nikka T!  I have seem them for the past few weeks at Animas Herbal in Durango, CO, and people on the internet are saying very positive things about them, so I had to give them a try.  If you are looking for any kind of pain or anxiety relief, these are right for you!  There is over 120mg of THC per container, as well as over 15mg of CBD/CBN.   They are also organic and vegan, which is great for you health conscious individuals!

These are the Indica based capsules and each container has 3 capsules.

Each capsule has 40mg of THC, as well as 5mg of CBD/CBN.  I am using these for anxiety, and they work like a charm!  I took one capsule this morning at about 10am, and I feel like the effects lasted all day.  They affect both the body and the mind, making me feel very relaxed and more comfortable around strangers .  It really improved my entire mood all together.  My mind is usually racing all day and night, and I often over think many situations, or I focus on something bad that has happened in my past.  I usually try to avoid any place that is crowded.  Most of the time it is hard for me to even just go to the grocery store.  I feel very out of place, I avoid eye contact with other customers, and I just try to get in and out as swiftly as I can, all of these behaviors are signs of anxiety problems.  A lot of the time I either can’t medicate enough before I go somewhere because I’m driving, or whatever I am using just doesn’t have enough Cannabidol to help me, so I experience those behavioral problems often.  After taking one of these capsules this morning, going to the store didn’t bother me at all.  I walked through, as opposed to rushing through, and I didn’t have any unpleasant feelings, I was very comfortable.  The effects are long lasting, putting me in a better mood and making me feel “normal” all day long.

I have been having pretty bad insomnia problems lately as well, staying up til 3 or 4 am every night, possibly caused by my anxiety.  The Cannabinol (CBN) in this capsule has definitely contributed to my drowsiness..  It is barely 11pm, but I feel like I could go to sleep right now.  These capsules are incredible.  They seem to have helped me a lot so far, and I know many other patients who suffer from similar anxiety or insomnia related problems could benefit from these.  My body feels very relaxed, my mind is at ease, and I can fall asleep at a decent time for once.  NikkaT is surely changing lives with these capsules and I would highly recommend these to anyone who suffers from anxiety, insomnia, or pain.  I am going to try to keep some on me for whenever I need some relief!  Pick some up at Animas Herbal in Durango, CO, and check out http://www.essentialextracts.co to find out where else you can find Essential Capsules and other products from Essential Extracts!

FINALLY trying out some “Essential Capsules”!

Written by brokenlungz

I finally got my hands on some Essential Capsules, made exclusively by Nikka T!   Made with 100% “Solvent-less” ice water hash, so you know they are safe for consumption!  They have a variety of different cannabinoids, making them effective for many different diseases and disorders.  Many people with anxiety problems are reporting that they are kicking their Xanax for these capsules.  I’ve often considered getting a Xanax prescription for my anxiety, but I don’t want to be throwing deadly pills down my throat every day.  Seeing as these are the Indica based capsules, I am sure that they will help me relax.  I took one about 20 minutes ago, and I feel like I am starting to feel the effects.  I will have a review up within the day,  in the meantime check out Animas Herbal in Durango, CO for all of your Essential Extracts and Essential Capsule needs!

Extract Review: “The White, 70 micron Solvent-less wax” from “Essential Extracts”!

I have been smoking on The White, 70 micron “solvent-less wax” from Animas Herbal in Durango, CO, processed by Essential Extracts for a few days now, and I must say that I am very impressed!  This stuff is so greasy and gooey!  It appears to be in a granulated form, yet when you start poking at it, it all starts sticking together.  It has a strong earthy taste, similar to that of an OG Kush taste.

Like I said, this stuff is so greasy!  It mushes together and flattens in to a patty very easily, making it simple to prepare it for smoking!

I love how this stuff looks when it is flattened out like this.  I have the patty flattened out on a screen, which I’m holding with a pair of tweezers while I heat the nail.

Then, I drop the screen, with the wax on it, on top of the hot nail.

As you can see, this stuff is pretty melty!  It starts to bubble up almost immediately when you drop it on the nail.

Little is left on the screen, nothing to complain about!  This stuff is amazing.  As I said earlier, this stuff tastes really good, almost like an OG Kush.  It is very smooth, I never cough off of this stuff.  The effects can be felt within the first 10 minutes.  I feel great when I smoke this, it really helps with my anxiety.  It doesn’t make me fall asleep, but it definitely gives me the couchlock effect.  It slows my brain down and allows me to relax without my anxiety getting the best of me.  I recommend this to anyone who suffers from anxiety problems, or just wants to have a nice, relaxing day on the couch.  If you’re in the Durango, CO area, make sure you stop by Animas Herbal for some Essential Extracts!  Read more about Essential Extracts and “solvent-less wax” at http://www.essentialextracts.co.

In case you are wondering how to smoke this stuff, keep your eyes open for step-by-step tutorials, coming soon!

“Essential Extracts”, BACK at Animas Herbal!

Written by brokenlungz

Hey oh!  Been waiting for Animas Herbal to get more concentrates from Essential Extracts for a few weeks now, and they finally have it again!  This is some Lemon OG/Girl Scout Cookies 70 micron solventless wax.  

For those that don’t know, solventless concentrates are those that are made without any solvents.  In this case, ice and water are used to extract the cannabinoids.  The benefit of solventless is the fact that we know that it’s clean, but it is sometimes hard to find any that will fully melt.  This stuff seems to melt pretty well.  More testing is needed, so far I am rather impressed by this.  Review coming soon, in the meantime check out Essential Extracts at http://www.essentialextracts.co, and learn more about solventless concentrates!
