    Default M_C tries DIY dabs :)

    I've been meaning to write up this thread for ages... but I kept getting things wrong! LOL - It's still a little WIP but near enough to share!

    So, To make your own dabs, what do you need?

    Well, some bud is a good start! Also a way of making BHO - I have a posh blast tube for that!

    Lighter fluid, parchment paper, casserole dish lid & razor blades

    Open the bottom valve slowly & empty the gas...

    Now, you used a casserole dish lid... so, fill up the dish itself with hot water... but don't fill all the way to the top as you will now put the lid on (yeah, yeah, the lid goes upside down....!)

    As you see, the gas is now boiling off....

    Let the gass boil off until you are left with a gooey, thick oil....

    (I should have had a pic of it in the casserole lid... but I don't )

    So, put this oil onto your parchment paper....

    Now, this has purged a lot of the gas... but you need the oil to be warmer to get that last bit of gas out..

    I used an induction hob, set at 50c



    and let it sit for a while...

    However, I got my temp wrong (I didn't realise how fast an indution hob hits full tilt - faster than I could drag it down to 50c LOL)

    I kinda got where I wante... but, not quite... I have pics (I just ain't finding them at the mo)

    This is a real good thread you have thrown together, every time I see your extraction tube I go damn that's cool. Lol
    I used to make alot of bho, got sick of razor blades (they keep your hand close to the oil so I always end up sticky and sometimes they grab onto the oil and slip through my fingers and cut me) so I switched to an exceptionally sharp putty knife, I have also done vacuum purges but I usually purged my oil in a water bath, and torch all the small bubbles I see until it is clear.

    The aim is for a solid, transparent, tacky slab... but I ended up with a cloudy, bubble poxed, tacky slab instead... still can't find where I put the pics

    But it smokes 100%

    I mix bho with rolling tobacco. I start with the baccy a bit too dry for a decent smoke. The Pyrex bowl or lid needs to be warmed to have the bho mix better.

    It becomes a yuccky tacky mess. I keep adding baccy until it's a bit too damp to smoke, then leave it 24 hours.

    1 rollup can keep me stoned for over 12 hours. When smoking it, the Rizla turns black.

    So, whilst I got the solidity I wanted, due to the boiling of the oil, I didn't get the flat clear look

    However, it still has the ability to scramble your noggin... so a big thumbs up

    Looks like honeycomb mate nice result and good write up. I remember watching a bloke on YouTube under the name “knotty” and I’m sure he mentioned that not all weed you purge turns to the flat clear look your after. Can’t remember why exactly, but like you said it could be a temp thing
