Prepare your Honey Oil according to
Phife?s
extraction FAQ These are pictures
summarizing the Honey Oil extraction method; they are my
pictures as I follow Phife?s instructions.
Now that you
have your Honey Oil all collected, you?ve probably
noticed your fine goo is really hard to handle isn?t it?
I can?t imagine how people get the sticky stuff into
those tiny vials!
Here?s my method:
Let the goo sit overnight to solidify, and finish
any evaporation or butane it may have left in it.
Take some bud and grind it up as if you were
going to smoke it.
Put some
of that ground bud in your extraction dish or other
surface. Using another razor blade, scrape a small
portion of oil off of the main blade you used for
collection. Press that little bit of oil on the blade
into the ground bud, coating as best you can.
Using
another razor blade (or the original collection blade)
scrape the clump of oil/bud back and forth between the
two blades until it falls loose and into the pile of
ground bud. Poke and push the glob around in the ground
bud until it is mostly coated and no longer sticks as
well to the razor blade.
With your
fingers sprinkle ground bud over the glob, covering it
with herb; then gently pick the glob up and finish
coating it well with herb and roll into a little ball
with your fingers.
These little balls can now be
stored in a film vial or other container with very
little sticking - to the sides, or to each other. Put
some of the remaining ground bud/herb in the vial with
the balls for extra anti-stick action while in storage
and handling.
The balls shown here are
around .10 of a gram each. I would not advise making
them any larger for single smoking situations.The little
balls can then be plopped right on top of a bowl of
herb; ash or you can still slice off little bits for hot
knifing.
