At a temperature of around 190 degrees Centigrade (375 degrees Fahrenheit) the volatile oil (a mix of THC and other cannabinoids) contained in resin glands turns into vapour.
Kief (pronounced [keːf, ki(ː)f, k?f]; from Arabic ??? (kayf), meaning 'pleasure'), sometimes transliterated as keef, also known as cannabis crystals among other names, refers to the resinous trichomes of cannabis that may accumulate in containers or be sifted from loose, dry cannabis infructescences with a mesh screen
The standard and by far most popular method of collecting kief is to use a four-piece grinder. The distinction from a two- or three-piece grinder is that it will have a “kief catcher,” a chamber in the bottom beneath a fine screen to catch the kief that falls off of your buds when shredded.
Sprinkle kief into a joint or roll a twax koint
For those of you who want a more advanced experience, dampen the outside of your joint with a lick or your preferred wax and then roll the top 1/3 of the joint in kief.The more highly pressurized kief is, the darker the subsequent hash becomes. While kief hasn't undergone the same mainstream popularity as other marijuana products, it's still one of the most effective and affordable forms of marijuana in the world, making it a good choice for cannabis consumers everywhere.
Keep your stash in the freezer. Unless you are trying to make kief, then, by all means, store it in the cold. Freezing temperatures cause the trichomes to become brittle and break off quickly. Store in plastic bags or containers.
Testing in at an astonishing 99.9% THC, Crystalline is officially the strongest hash on the market. Other concentrates such as ice hash, rosin, and BHO range from 50-80% THC.
Using a fine screen to separate out the kief from the flower, it's a super practical method. Bubble hash, on the other hand, utilizes Ice Water Extraction to perform the same task. A fairly recent development in hash technology, this method sees cannabis submerged in ice water, then agitated to release the trichomes.
Aside from the fact that you can purchase coconut oil relatively inexpensively from just about anywhere, the process of decarboxylating and infusing cannabis into coconut oil requires only a few simple ingredients and can be done at home with minimal effort.
A key ingredient to many of our recipes is using a gourmet CannaOil. As with olive oil, CannaOil is very versatile. It can be used to make salad dressings, sauces, pastas, sautés, baked goodies and much more. As with all edibles, recipes using cannabis extracts effect people in different ways.
Temperature
| Fat | Quality | Smoke Point |
|---|
| Canola oil (Rapeseed) | Unrefined | 225°F |
| Castor oil | Refined | 392°F |
| Coconut oil | Refined, dry | 450°F |
| Coconut oil | Unrefined, dry expeller pressed, virgin | 350°F |
Pour olive oil into the jar, making sure to cover all of the product. 4. Place jar in the warm water for 1 to 2 hours at a medium low temperature. This is the binding part of the infusion process and the oil needs to get to approximately 150 to 200° for about an hour.
Measure the coconut oil, as calculated above, and RSO into a glass bowl and place into saucepan with metal ring or rag on the bottom. This way the glass bowl isn't directly on bottom of pan on the heat. Add about an inch of water and turn on medium heat. Melt slowly on stovetop stirring constantly.
