Thread: Using Alcohol/Ethanol instead of water?

  1. #1

    Cool Using Alcohol/Ethanol instead of water?

    My friend told me the best way to make bubblehash is to use alcohol instead of water. Heard it makes crazy bubble that expands like those snakes at firework stands.

    anyone tried this? heard it makes completely wicked shit!!!

    this better not be some big fad on here started by my lameass post

    Respect Bubbleman and his hideout by not mentioning solvents.

    Water is the only ingredient around here, oh and some frosty buds!!

    This is a site dedicated to non-solvent extraction of trichomes. Besides, alcohol extraction produces oil, not bubblehash.

    When Making Bubble Hash WATER is NOT
    used as a solvent
    It is merely a carrier for the trich's
    to allow Gravity to do its work.

    What U R Discussing is ISO Oil
    and we would prefer that ya learn a SAFER way to make your extracts
    Ya don't really need to try to Re-Invent the wheel
    the round ones R working just fine.

    are we reading the same posts? I wasn't trying to use anything as a solvent I was simply asking if anyone has tried using alcohol instead of water with bubblebags. I am not trying to "reinvent" anything because it was a method my friend told me worked very well for him. I normally use plain water with my bubblebags so once again no need for the butane extraction lectures

    Ethanol, or Ethyl Alcohol (or any alcohol), is a solvent. If you put buds, or trim, in ethanol, or any other solvent, it will disolve the trich heads, leaving you with oil at the end, wether you filter with bubblebags (not recommended, poor bags), window screen, or coffee filter. The only variation I have seen besides water and ice in these bags is water and frozen CO2, think there was a thread somewhere here, but I can't seem to find it. I also dont recall that it was any better (only more expensive for the dry ice) than regular ice and water.

    PS, I did have a friend accidentally throw in about a cup or 2 of iso in with his hash mixing water, and he ended up with a wierd sticky hash that I did not enjoy smoking that much. Also not reccomended (poor hash).

    Well, alcohol is a solvent, just like butane,in the sense that it will breakdown the wax membrane and release the terpenophenolic cannabinoids, leaving you with just oil and not the intact trichome. I suspect that the bubble bags will have little bearing on the final product cause oil is still oil.
