QWISO Hash Question

I've been making and smoking some qwiso hash in the past weeks and I got a bong specifically for this. It has a bell and skillet setup so it smokes real easy. There is a buildup of some light brown material inside the bong that smells just like hash. Is this worth trying to get out (dissolve in iso) and save or is it spent since it was burned?

btw, qwiso hash is super easy and if done right is high quality. I am getting 2-3 washes per batch with the first wash having a lot of blond hash in it.

We always recover the oil from our vaporization pipes, and make excellent sleep meds. We wash it out with hot 190 proof ethanol.

I don't recommend recovering burned oil, because of the byproducts of pyrolysis.

So what constitutes "burning" the oil then? Vaporization is just heating it to a more precise point so that the material other than THC does not reach it's flash point.

I am not putting a flame to the oil but sizzling it on a skillet instead.

Or is it the fact that I am raising the oils temp way above it's vaporization point and therefore burning everything else along with it. In which case, how much bad stuff can there really be on a first wash batch of qwiso?

When the oil is hot enough to oxidize, it will burst into flame. When the combustion is incomplete, it will form pyrolysis byproducts, some of which are insalubrious.

Vaporizing heats the oil until it vaporizes, not combusts. When it vaporizes, if you touch the vapors with a flame, they will combust with a visable yellow flame.

Well then I guess what I am doing is technically vaporizing the oil then because the vapor, or smoke, does not burst into flame, especially on my first washes. I heat the skillet red hot then let it cool until it's no longer red then I place a dab of oil on the skillet. No flame is present except for the heating of the skillet. Sometimes 2nd and 3rd wash batches will flame up right at the end of a hit but I have yet to have a dab from one of my first washes do that. I am still perfecting my process though.

The residue built up in your bong from only vaporizing oils via ti or quartz, is decarboxylated oil, which is great to make potent edibles or capsules out of. This decarboxylated oil build up is usally called CLAIM and to remove your claim is called RECLAIM, which basically means your reclaiming your oil for another use.

I personally don't use any claim that has been sitting in water, I feel it has turned rancid. So I only use the claim in my domes, curves, and male to male slide, because this decarboxylated oil has not been sittting water. I also use pure grain alcohol instead of ISO.
 
i was just talking to someone about that last night. i take a rolling paper and wipe the oil out of the dome when it starts sticking @ the joint.... then i'll roll a doob with it.
