Once you watch a couple of those videos, with the kif just snowing down, it's just- whoa....
I'm far from an expert, and if anyone has corrections or comments, feel free to chime in.
I did 2 batches with a 160u bag only.You might well get better quality by doing 70u first then 160.
So, all you need is a bucket, a bag (or 2) and a block of dry ice. Most larger supermarkets sell it, at least around here. I think it was 8$ for a block around the size of a smallish phone book.
Just break the dry ice into chunks- I used a screwdriver and hammer. Seems many people put a layer of dry ice in the bucket, then the weed, then another layer of dry ice- I just chunked up the dry ice, threw in the weed and let it sit a minute, agitating occasionally.
Then put your bag over the bucket, and turn the whole thing upside down over a piece of glass, mirror, or wooden table- anything hard and smooth- and start shaking.
The longer you shake, the more the kif turns from sandy to greenish. I watched a video (it's the one GP73LPC linked to above) where he did this over a long table and worked his way from one end to the other so he could see the color changing. I shook for maybe 3-5 minutes, scraped that up, then shook again for the second greener grade.
I was using trim and popcorn buds. It was fresh but dry enough to crumble.
With 1 oz I got 3.5 gm the first run, and another gm or so the second run.
Other batch I used 60 gms- it was less sugary than the other, and got 5 gms first run, and maybe 2 gms the second.
Anyway- check out some of those videos. There is some debate on mesh size, but the basic method is pretty well established.

It is ridiculously easy... I intend to keep playing with that method to see if I can get better at it, maybe trying different mesh sizes as well as collecting the first minute's worth of sift before continuing, etc. I'll keep working on my bubble techniques also, but the dry ice method is very simple and very fast.
I think next time I'll take my pile and try carding it over a 25u screen to get rid of the smallest bits and see how that turns out.
My first time trying it, I ended up with 6 grams, which was certainly more than I expected. I'm still learning, so it won't win any awards, but it really does the trick for me:
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought it was neat

In my area, the two biggest nearby supermarket chains carry it, I just happened to notice that they had a dry ice freezer in the front of the store one day. I don't remember ever seeing it advertised anywhere, though...
I hope folks will post up their results, I'd love to see it!

Alrighty, had some fun with it today. Picked up 8 lbs of dry ice from the grocery store, and 2-4 oz of trim:
Put the trim in, let it sit for a few minutes.. agitated it a few times.. Then put the 160 bag over.
Shook it over the picture frame and voila!
Seemed pretty easy
Came out with 24 grams wet (can you call it wet?)

Just have lots of trim to use hehe
Without you and zymos bringing it up I probably would never have tried the Dry Ice...
By far the easiest method I have tried yet.. not sure the quality vs bubble as I don't really smoke hash but it looks good
