Hey cara.. tou querendo comecar um site similar em portugues... final do ano... se quiser contribuir, seria grato!

Well... it depends on the amount of acetone that needs to be evaporated... right now ive just finished doing it... the amount of acetone was about 2oz, and it took about 30 minutes to evaporate completly.

BTW, i just noticed that you MUST re-extract the hash oil from the weed... like you, i evaporated the acetone after one day of soaking the weed in it, and got some amount of hash oil. Then, i put more pure acetone in the (already extracted) weed, and let it for about one week. Then, today i evaporated this acetone and got almost the same amount of hash oil i got in the first extraction. What means the first extraction (letting the weed soak for only one day) only extracted one HALF of the total amount of hash oil the weed could give.

you read my mind

the stuff i ended up with is looks kinda like hash oil but its not thick at all its still really watery and smells kinda like the acetone still, should i let it sit for a day or 2 before smoking it?

Thats very weird... how did you evaporated it?
Also, could you find the composition of the acetone you did use? Usually its written in its bottle... and if you could post some picture of the oil you got, i could try to see what was the problem.

Sometimes i do it... im not Paulo, but im also a Coelho... LOL! jk... in fact, i just thought it would be the most appropriate name for it... cannabis in english, maconha in portuguese... i think it would be better than erva.com, fumo.com, bagulho.com, etc...

Boy... I know all about that... one too many brahmas and I wake up with enough bagulhos.com

You can buy those bottles with the tops, in the U.S., from Gold Prospecting stores! thot that would help!

Entire Thread very informative! pr

when you pour out the liquid onto a plate could you insted pour it onto a sheet of wax paper? this could make collecting your hash easier? or pour it onto a paper plate, freeze it (possibly making it hard and brittle), then bend the plate to crack off this stiff hash, then warm it with your fingers while rolling it into a ball? sorry im high, i hope to get some insight on this.

LOLOLOL!!!
Thats one of the reasons why i never drink...

Well... while im far away from usa, there is gold prospection here also... so, thanks for the info!

It wouldnt work, because the hash oil is completly dissolved in the liquid... if i put it in the paper and freeze it, the acetone would never evaporate, and all i would get is a paper soaked in green acetone.
Im almost sure what youre talking about could be done with hash... but hash is not hash oil... they are very different things... only the name is similar.

would anyone here be willing to guarantee there would be no foul effects due to acitone? also the medical alcohol is dangerous if ingested. in other words after long evaporation what would be left that would be dangerous to our health? i can see there are quite a few skeptics due to the fact acitone alone is prob lethal.

Well... the acetone itself should evaporate completly, as it has a very low boiling point (36C). What could remain is the not-so-volatile impurities of it, which depends on the brand of the acetone you get.
The acetone i use here is actually a mixture of alcohol and acetone, but as the alcohol is also volatile, it evaporates away.
There can be other subtances added besides alcohol, but its written in the composition of it (usually written in the bottle). If you have any doubt about if you should or not use some brand of acetone, tell me what are the other components of your acetone, and ill say if its suitable or not for making hash oil.

I had about a zone of some keef. I just put it in a small jar with some. Any guesses how much this will yeild. Im curious in my waiting....

apparently I didnt seal the lid tight enouf as all my pressious crystals appeared to evaporate away in the wind. SHHH!T.

Coelho I tried this method again followed it to the letter. I used a ounce of swag keef. I ground all the budz in a electric coffee grinder. I scraped the keef off the top that stuck on the lid. I gathered nearly a ounce of keef alone. I put the keef in a small jar with the right amount of acetone. I shook it regularly and kept it in a dark dresser drawr. I waited two days. the liqiud was dark brown. Poured on a plate with boiling water in a pot under it. The result was no honey. In fact it is not a goo but a harder brown solid. I made sure it was really dry by heating it and placeing a fan by it. After I got a small piece as dry as it could possibly get, I felt safe enouf to put it in a one hitter and smoke. Now this shits sposed to be really high thc right? because it absorbs it, well any way I got a quick high but nothing great and it wore off in like 10 minutes. I used a lot of keef. even for regular budz i shoulda got a lot more of a high but didnt. I ended up with about 7 grams of what Id call a poor hash.(NOT OIL) any ways I recomend people not do this IMHO.

Well, when i do it, sometimes i get a hard resin, sometimes an oily resin... each kind of weed i use yelds slightly different results... but all are very smokable.
How much of it (grams, or the size of the piece) did you smoke?

Ok, this post is a translation to portuguese of the recipe for making hash oil.

Ingredientes:
- Maconha (Oba! )
- Acetona (removedor de esmalte)
- Uma garrafinha de vidro

Instrucoes:

Primeiro, a erva deve ser descarboxilada par aumentar ao maximo sua potencia. Isto pode ser feito colocando-a durante uns 2-3 minutos no microondas, ou enrolando-a em papel aluminio e colocando-a numa sanduicheira por uns 10 minutos.
(Nota: a erva deve estar inteira (NAO picada) se vc for colocar no microondas... se ela estiver picada, pode pegar fogo. Na sanduicheira tanto faz.)
Essa parada de descarboxilar serve pra erva que vai ser fumada tambem... antes de fumar, experimente fazer isso, e vc vai ver a diferenca...

Depois de descarboxilada, a erva deve estar seca e crocante. Moa bem, ate ela ficar quase um po.

Ponha a erva picada na garrafinha, e adicione acetona. O volume de acetona deve ser pelo menos umas 2 vezes maior que o volume da erva picada (ver fig.1 no post original). Feche bem, pois a acetona evapora facil, e deixe num lugar escuro por varios dias. (1 semana e suficiente). Deve ser um lugar escuro pois a luz destroi o THC. De vez em quando de uma chacoalhada, pra melhorar a dissolucao.

Uma coisa importante e o tipo e a pureza da acetona usada. Normalmente as acetonas vendidas em farmacia como removedor de esmalte tem 50-60% depureza (como escrito no rotulo). Quanto maior a pureza, melhor. Note tambem as outras substancias presentes. Se for alcool (etanol), nao tem problema. Ja outras substancias (ja vi acetona que continha oleo de ricino!) nao prestam. Por isso deve-se tomar cuidado ao comprar a acetona.

Depois desse tempo, a acetona estara escura e tera dissolvido o THC. Deve-se entao evaporar a acetona. Se vc morar num lugar quente, coloque a acetona num prato raso, com cuidado pra que apenas a acetona fique no prato (e nao os restos de erva picada que ficam no fundo da garrafinha). Aqui no RJ, no verao, em menos de uma tarde a acetona evapora toda.

Caso vc more num lugar mais frio, ou se estiver inverno, pode-se evaporar a acetona artificialmente. Note que isto e perigoso, e deve ser feito com TODO o cuidado. Neste caso, bote a acetona numa taca de vinho (ou qualquer outra) com o fundo arredondado. Bote esta taca numa panela com agua, e esquente a agua. Essa agua quente vai aquecer e evaporar a acetona. Se possivel, esquente a agua com um aquecedor eletrico, pois a acetona e ALTAMENTE inflamavel, e fazer isso no fogao eh o maior perigo!

Se possivel, evapore a acetona em um lugar aberto, bem ventilado e longe de fontes de calor, faiscas e quaisquer coisas que possam causar um incendio.

Quando a acetona tiver evaporado, vai ficar um residuo marrom escuro/preto no fundo do prato ou da taca. As vezes, quando se evapora a acetona naturalmente (sem aquecer), fica tambem um pouco de liquido quase transparente que nao evaporou. Se este liquido estiver transparente, pode joga-lo fora sem problemas.

Este residuo é o oleo de hash. Tira-lo do prato ou da taca e uma das coisas mais chatas que tem, pois ele e ALTAMENTE grudento, gruda em tudo! E nao sai depois... por isso tem que tomar cuidado. Use uma faca sem ponta (eu uso uma agulha grossa de metal) pra raspar o oleo. Botar agua no prato ou na taca ajuda bastante, pois debaixo dagua o oleo gruda menos no prato. Se ele estiver muito duro (solido), use agua quente, pois ela deixa o oleo mais mole. Se ele estiver muito mole, use agua fria. Tem uma temperatura ideal em que o oleo desgruda facilmente do prato/taca.
De qualquer forma, va raspando esse oleo e tente fazer uma bolinha com ele. NAO bote as maos nele, pois ele gruda na mao e nao sai mais. Se precisar encostar nele, molhe os dedos, pois a agua diminui a "grudosidade" dele.

E esta pronto! Tem gente que mistura o oleo no beck e fuma, mas eu acho um disperdicio... prefiro bota-lo numa latinha, aquecer por baixo e inspirar os vapores... de qualquer forma, esse oleo de hash e bem mais forte que fumo comum, e apesar da onda ser um pouco diferente da onda do fumo (e mais "limpa" sei la... dificil descrever), ainda sim chapa muuuito...

Qualquer duvida, e so postar aqui.

PS. Ah sim da pra fazer hash oil com pontas sim... ele vai ficar um pouco mais resinoso, ja que as pontas tem um monte dakela resina gosmenta... mas tambem da pra fumar na boa, ainda que o gosto nao fique dos melhores...

hei Coelho thanks for the translation was very helpful,i have another question,can i do some think about the smell of the acetona,because of my parents,they know i smoke but making oil will be strange you know.well i think it will be difficult because the smell is very strong.thanks carica,e nois.
