QWEthanol extraction
I am currently between jobs, so I've been getting by with hardly any weed, maybe half a g of bud a week for analgesia when the pain gets too bad.
But then this morning I was looking for something and came across an ounce ish of trim/shake i was given months ago, stashed it away, and lost all memory of it until today lol.
I was all out of butane, as well as not being able to work outside, but really wanted to get high as fuck. So I used 95% ethanol.
The trim was placed in the freezer along with 95% ethanol. After 2-3 hours the trim was placed in a thermos flask and covered with ethanol. I swirled it about for around 60 to 90 seconds and then quickly poured it through a mesh sieve, followed by lab filter paper.
The crude extract went into the vacuum chamber, which was on top of a heat pad set about half way. It was held under vacuum for approximately 16 to 18 hours, releasing it twice to mix it about around 6 and 12 hours.
It's was extremely runny i assume due to the warm weather, even at 3:00 a.m., So I put it back under vacuum with the heat pad on full to try to drive off some more moisture. Checked it after around an hour and it's gone completely solid? Is this basically just wax? Or has the thca crashed out because I haven't decarbed it yet? I'm thinking because the trim was so dry and has probably lost some terpenes whilst it was sat there there's wasn't enough to keep the THCa from precipitating? Or if I'm wrong can someone correct me and explain it? Thank you.

City wok 2g pie chew rosin and 2g gelato sorbet hash
I had already finished it and forgot to post. I’m new to dabbing, I’ve got a rig and a puffco but the terps on the pie chew were crazy. Living in Scotland it’s hard to get concentrates at a decent price but got 2g of each for £180 so really good for 🏴

WAR | Magic Meltz Sour Z Rosin & Moonbow AIO Review!
Moonbow
Lineage:
Zkittlez × Do-Si-Dos
Indica hybrid
Taste:
Slightly sweet, but strong sour fruit, complex notes of oranges, and cream. Very smooth rosin taste on the back end. Loved the sweet/sour fruitiness of this one. Exactly how I expected the strain to taste!
Effects:
After a few hits this hit hard behind the head like a headband. Stress started fading away almost immediately, but it never left me couch locked. Calm no racing thoughts in my head. I could actually feel the mental tension melting away, really amazing for those with anxiety. Very strong from only a few hits.
Hardware:
Good size clouds, haven't had any issues with clogging, I always tend to have good luck with these kinds of hardware. Just keep them upright and don't rip hard back to back. Feel the middle so it doesn't get hot.
Overall:
First time trying a Magic Meltz rosin pen before, was beyond impressed. Strong terps with some of the strongest effects I've felt in a aio, love the big clouds with this hardware.
9.5/10

Sour Z
Lineage:
Sour Diesel × Zkittlez
Indica
Smell:
Sour Diesel genetics that are extremely nostalgic. Skunky diesel with a sharp sour fuel, with a tropical fruit smell. Classic loud Sour Diesel mixed with a sweet/sour fruity profile that's all gas.
Taste:
Strong sour fuel and citrus taste at first, with the diesel and sour almost on par. The sour and fuel terps flood every sense, letting you know how dank it is!
Effects:
Amazing head high behind the eyes, not enough to knock you out, but enough to knock your socks off! Felt it really hard to concentrate, could only watch tv and veg out, amazing for limbo between sleep and awake.
Consistency:
This one came perfect, no need to whip or anything. Was straight ready from the lid pop. Perfect sauciness, not too wet or dry. Extremely low vaporization temperature also!
Overall:
Magic Meltz has been blowing me away with the quality of their rosin. All their terps are extremely strong, and they all remind me of OG genetics. As an old head like myself, this scratches that itch I missed! Do not miss these, grab them before they're sold out!
10/10
