Welcome everyone to this new blog post about the Iceolator (aka Bubble Hash) and the new Fresh Frozen Hashish! After seeing Dry Sift & Static Tech Hashish, fasten your seatbelts for this new Annibale Seedshop item for hash lovers!

Introduction to Bubble Hash (Iceolator) and Fresh Frozen Hashish:

In the world of cannabis concentrates, ice-o-lator (or iceolator) hash and fresh frozen hash are two popular extraction methods that produce potent, high-quality products. This article aims to provide a detailed explanation of these techniques, their differences in terms of taste and effects, and an overview of the prices in the legal and illegal market.

Ice-O-Lator (Iceolator) Hash:

Ice-o-lator hash, also known as bubble hash, is an extraction technique that uses water and ice to separate trichomes from plant matter. This method allows to obtain a high concentration of pure trichomes, rich in cannabinoids and terpenes.

The process of making ice-o-lator hash begins with selecting high-quality cannabis flowers. The flowers are then crushed and mixed with ice and water in an extraction washer.

Mechanical agitation helps separate the trichomes from the plant matter, which are then filtered through sieves of varying sizes. The collected trichomes are dried and pressed to make the final hash.

Fresh Frozen Hash:

Fresh frozen hashish is an extraction method that is based on the use of fresh plant material, frozen immediately after harvesting. This process preserves the freshness and potency of the trichomes, capturing the aromas and active ingredients in an optimal way.

To make fresh frozen hash, cannabis flowers are harvested and immediately frozen. Freezing usually takes place within a few hours of harvesting to preserve the quality of the plant material as much as possible.

Once frozen, the flowers are then subjected to an extraction process using methods such as bubble hash or cold hash. This allows to obtain a high quality final product with a high concentration of trichomes.

Differences in Taste and Effects between Ice-O-Lator vs Fresh Frozen Hash:

Ice-o-lator hash and fresh frozen hash can have significant differences in taste and effect.

Taste-wise, ice-o-lator hash tends to have a broader flavor profile due to the separation of trichomes using water and ice. This can lead to a higher presence of terpenes and a more complex flavor.

On the other hand, fresh frozen hash can have a fresher and more vibrant taste, as the buds are frozen immediately after harvest, thus preserving the plant’s primary aromas.

Effect-wise, ice-o-lator hash can offer a combination of cerebral and euphoric highs typical of a high-quality cannabis concentrate. Fresh frozen hash, on the other hand, can provide a more potent and intense effect due to the optimal retention of cannabinoids and terpenes.

Iceolator and Fresh Frozen Hash Market Prices:

The prices of ice-o-lator hash and fresh frozen hash can vary in both the legal and illegal markets. In the legal market, prices are influenced by factors such as product quality, geographic region, and availability. Typically, high-quality ice-o-lator hash and fresh frozen hash can be much more expensive than lower-quality products, reaching over $50 per gram.

In the illicit market, prices can be influenced by factors such as demand, supply and the risk associated with purchasing cannabis products. These are the rarest grades of hash on the black market these days, except for local homebrews that keep the best produce for themselves.

Conclusions…

Ice-o-lator hash and fresh frozen hash are two cannabis extraction methods that produce high-quality concentrates that are full of flavor and powerful effects. While ice-o-lator hash uses water and ice to separate trichomes, fresh frozen hash uses instant freezing of buds to preserve freshness and potency.

The differences in taste and effect between the two methods offer a variety of experiences for users.
