Sam_Skunkman's dry sift method

vibration alone won't work once you start working with meshes smaller than 150 L.P.I. (110 - 115 micron) as the trichomes and contaminants will roll and dance on top of the screen anb dnot fal through efficiently by themselves...once you start using finer meshes, the contaminants need to be actively broken up and forced through, a card does this well...or perhaps an automated blade that moves across the mesh screen as it is vibrated?

This is from 2006.

You've been giving people terrible advice for a long time, now. Stop it.

YOU DON'T BREAK UP SHIT ON PURPOSE YOU FUCKING IDIOT.

ZOMG

YOU DON'T BREAK UP SHIT ON PURPOSE YOU FUCKING IDIOT.

There's lots of ways to dry sift, some are for purity (and the less contaminant that is broken up and allowed in, the better) and some methods can be used when going for quantity....the quote you cherry picked describes one way to clean up rough dry sift by resifting with finer meshes using vibration and as I mentioned above, vibration alone won't work effectively when you want to separate the larger sized trichomes (that stay above the fine mesh) from the smaller size contaminant that is worked through the mesh...a card works for that method.

Whiz, what have you got to offer? ..apart from the fact that you need to blurt out on every that you are an arrogant, obnoxious asshole who won't share his secret.

and you know something, it won't be long before your little secret is public....but that won't be as good as the gobsmacked, deflated look on your face when it happens. lol

one more insult from you DrySiftWizard and i will personally show you the exit. if you are not able to interact as an adult amongst adults with respect, then you'd best find other cyber stomping grounds where your insults and general arrogance is appreciated, cause on this site you have to walk the walk before you can talk your talk.

I also remember back in 2003 when everyone said 'well, it'll get out eventually'.

And back in 2006 in this here forum? Even before then.. when did Sam post originally about his stuff? Late '90's maybe?

It's not going to get out. If it does, well.. whoop-ee.

I'll just go make my method available for a fraction of what they release.

No skin off my ass, genius.

Walk the walk.. as in prove I can make product?

Or tip-toe around subject matter trying not to hurt the feelings of a bunch of strangers on the internet who can't seem to provide me with any information i've asked about?

I would be more upset that you have multiple members giving bad advice on your site, eh.

Lots of other people out there don't think you're all that special.. and i've seen better products on a handful of sites, anyways.

You challenge folks like they should respect you. Respect is earned. I am sure in time you will prove yourself. Till then, being a dick will only endear you to other dicks. Good luck though. Your hash does look nice. Peace GS

I just wanna see why people are spending so much money on his machines.

Because i'm not impressed. I have yet to see anything bubbleman himself has made with his own tumbler.

Maybe i'm not looking hard enough? Direct me.

Most peoples stuff looks like garbage.. isn't even full melt. That's not that tough to accomplish.. even w/o an expensive machine.

Kinda lame..

I just wanna see why people are spending so much money on his machines.

So you can put up to five ounces of plant material in the machine, press a button and then in 3, 5, 10, 20 or whatever minutes later you'll have handfuls of dry sifted resin...and then if you want to, you can purify it further as it has a 70 micron flat screen under the mesh cylinder.

then you can take out the spent plant material, put more in there and do it all over again. Some people like to smoke the most purest dry sift possible, some people like to extract the maximum of the resin on the plant material....many are in between, some do both...tumblers can do all of that with ease, it's just a matter of timing and they can do it over and over again.


Wiz, you have a secret method that produces very pure dry sift and without trying it out myself, I can't really comment, but I bet it's only viable for removing a small percentage of the resin on material, tumblers can be used for those people who want quality & quantity or both, they're easy, automatic and versatile, don't knock it (especially if you haven't tried it)...and keep in mind that everyone has a different aim in mind, get used to that fact. Some people, me included, would rather have a few handfuls of good quality dry sift (and the spent material is composted) that lasts for weeks rather a few spoons full of 99% sift that is gone in a few days (and then I'm left with lots of half sifted trim that has to be extracted with solvents, no thanks).

Here's the link Bubbleman's "Tumble Now" tumbler......when you buy items from advertisers like Aqualabtechnologies on ICmag.com, you help keep this great site getting better.

Or you could save the couple hundred bucks and do the same thing by hand in less time. And have a better product.

I honestly have no idea what you're trying to say. Are you incinuating that a human can't do something over and over like a cheap tumbler? If you want to extract more resin, run the trim again.. why would you need a machine to tell you that or do it for you? Are you honestly the laziest human being alive?

You obviously have a giant walking hardon for this tumbler, but you cannot give me a single reason why anyone should spend their money on it. It doesn't produce fantastic quality on a repeatable basis. You're basically just 'praying' that the person has material which will fall through the screen and not be too dirty. I have zero desire to leave my months and months of work and sweat to a cheaply made wanna-be hash maker. I'll take a couple hours and make a nice batch when I want some. In case you haven't been reading my posts, which it's obvious you haven't, I get 2 grades from my method, both of which are very good. You keep talking like i'm only taking the cream of the crop.. i'm not.

and keep in mind that everyone has a different aim in mind, get used to that fact.

That's fine, but don't be giving out advice to people who come here looking to advance their product past 'average'.

You must work for somebody on here.. or you're in love with one of them.

The tumbler is a joke in the world of high end concentrates, pure and simple.

Same with the box. It's great for average joe to make some good stuff.. that's it.

A tumbler will produce several grades of dry sift and strip the material of resin...does your secret method strip the material of resin? I think you already answered that, it doesn't or you can't be bothered doing it or it's not worth it (whatever that means?) and then you use solvents to extract the resin off the material after you do two runs, is that right?

Tumblers are great for people who want to produce several grades of dry sift easily and automatically ..and who don't want to mess around with petro-chemical extractions. Does it produce the same purity as your secret method can? No, but, hey, no one said it does. get over it already! Like I said before, there's plenty of people out there who would rather yield a handful than a few spoonfuls of resin from the same material...some drinkers like beer and some like whiskey.

Here's a tip for you and your method...you've been saying you will give up the method for $99, that's pretty stupid, because if it really is a unique method that is not currently used and has not been made public then it might be patentable ...this is what a smart person would do, apply for a patent and then this method cannot be used commercially. Also, doing this has the added bonus that the method will be able to be read about on US Patent website and folks will be able to make dry sift with this method at home..a patent lasts for about 20 years, so when legalization comes, you will be able to license your method to corporations and make considerable amounts of money from it....potentially, there are tens of thousands of dollars there to be made from such a patent each year after cannabis prohibition ends. That's what I would do.

Doing what you are doing now and just drip feeding hints little bit by little bit is dumb.....so Patent it before some one here or somewhere else with lots of trim to play with stumbles upon your method and makes it public so it can't be patented or does the smart thing and patents it themselves before you get off your ass and do it.....and then where will you be? .

No, it doesn't strip resin, i'm waving my hand over the material and saying some special words and it magically hops to the table.

It will get down as far as I want to go. But unlike some people, when it takes me close to an hour to make something that quality, and i'm only getting a very small amount.. it's not worth it. Running it twice in the span of a few minutes will net me better results in both of my grades than anything you can do it that tumbler, period.

Tumblers are great for people who want to produce several grades of dry sift easily and automatically ..and who don't want to mess around with petro-chemical extractions.

So now my dry sift is a chemical extraction? You really can't read, can you?

Like I said before, there's plenty of people out there who would rather yield a handful than a few spoonfuls of resin from the same material...some drinkers like beer and some like whiskey.

AGAIN.. WHY DO YOU KEEP INCINUATING MY YIELD ISN'T GOOD? It's better in 5 minutes than your stupid tumbler idea in close to an HOUR. WHAT IS YOUR POINT? For the 50th time, if you want a lower grade resin and 'more of it' just run the trim more than twice.. how hard is this for you to grasp? Why would you give up all your high end material when you can have BOTH from the same process? That's why the tumbler is stupid.. get it yet?

You think a tumbler is awesome.. you're never going to figure it out, and i'm not worried in the least.

Instead of attempting to help people who don't need it, why don't you help yourself to a hash making book and try to learn something?

This is my first post so hello all.
I have been dabbling with dry sift myself for a while, and i found out that a tumbler is by far the easiest way to get the raw material to clean.

Actually the only pics are of it already pressed, i only make it in the winter. I do have some micro slides but no way to photo them. I need to get in touch with Sam before i say much more. Key words for Sam, 90's, flour machine, the dam, factory, Kathmandu. If Sam is one of the folks I think he is he will know what I mean. Ester...
