Best way I've found is nto to smoke but vape...with a liquid screen in a Volcano...unbelievable taste, cool on the lungs, and no toxics from burning.
I believe you haven't "tasted" hash till you try this method.
You can do the same procedure in a vaporgenie. Just get your hands on a liquid screen, ordered from Volcano people, unfold enough to mold a smaller liquid screen to fit the vaporgenie and there you go!
The liquid screen is medical grade stainless steel wool. Works like a charm!
Mr DaMago...funny you mentioned the hot knives. I remember over 35 years ago as a teenager using hot knives and getting too blasted and having one of the knives slip...I still have the scare on my lip. OUCH! So...word of caution to all.
