The 5 gallon kit can process up to 200 grams (dry weight) of plant matter at a time.

Why is the 8 bag kit better than the 3 bag or 4 bag kit?

Fresh Headies’ 8 bag kits contain a variety of different sized screens to separate your herbal extract according to the size of the crystals or glandular heads of the plant. You will find that having these layers will allow you to separate your herbal extract into different grades ranging from commercial grade to top quality Full Melt Bubble. The 8 bag kit is the best choice for the connoisseur looking to produce a high quality herbal extract.

The 8 bag kit contains the following bags:

• 220 micron work bag
• 190 micron bag
• 160 micron bag
• 120 micron bag
• 90 micron bag
• 73 micron bag
• 45 micron bag and
• 25 micron bag

The 190 micron bag removes contaminants from your herbal extract. The 160 micron bag, although it may contain usable herbal extract with certain strains, acts as another layer of contaminant removal. The remaining 5 bags contain your best herbal extract. Some strains or types of plants have larger crystals or glandular heads than others, so it is difficult to predict which bag will contain the best herbal extract. However, Full Melt Bubble generally is found in the 90 micron bag and the 73 micron bag.

The 4 bag kit contains a work bag, one contaminant removal bag, and two crystal collection bags. With very high quality plant material, you might find Full Melt Bubble in the 73 micron bag. The 4 bag kit is a good option for people who simply want a reasonably priced and durable kit.

The 4 bag kit contains the following bags:

• 220 micron work bag
• 160 micron bag
• 73 micron bag and
• 25 micron bag

How do I make Full Melt Bubble?

Full Melt Bubble is a plant extract that bubbles when heated, which is what led Bubble Man to call our bags "Bubble Bags." To begin with, you need to start with high quality plant matter. It should have lots of crystals and be as fresh as possible. High quality herbal extract can only be made from high quality plant material. Most people find they must use the 8 bag kit to produce Full Melt Bubble.

Be sure to freeze your plant matter overnight before starting to make your Bubble herbal extract. Make sure there is lots of ice in the water at all times – the temperature of the water should always be 4 degrees Celsius or lower. Do not over-agitate your mixture. For best results, use our BubbleNow machine for this step. Alternatively, you may choose to mix for 15 minutes with a wooden spoon. An electric mixer can be used, but the product will tend to be of lower quality. The more you break up the plant matter, the more you will contaminate your Bubble herbal extract with small particles of leaf. This will still produce enjoyable herbal extract, but it will probably not be Full Melt Bubble.

Can I make Bubble Herbal Extract with moldy plant matter?

YES. Bubble Man recommends an extra mold-removing step: place your herbal extract into a jar full of water with a tight-fitting lid and shake it up. The mold spores will float to the top and can be skimmed off with a spoon or turkey baster. Then, rinse the jar into the 25 micron bubble bag and press the moisture out as usual.

How should I store my Bubble Herbal Extract?

First, make sure it is completely dry before storing. Bubble that has been pressed into a ball or brick while wet will get moldy inside. Make sure to press out as much water as possible using the pressing screen with a tea towel. Then, break up your herbal extract into a powder and allow it to dry completely. Bubble Man recommends spreading it out very thinly on a piece of thick cardboard – then put it somewhere safe, where it won't get knocked over or contaminated by dust.

For long term storage, after your bubble is completely dry, a sealed container in the freezer is best.

How should I clean my Bubble Bags?

Always rinse the bags thoroughly with cold water immediately after use and hang to dry. Do not use warm or hot water, as this will clog the screens with melted trichomes. If your screens become clogged, you can gently clean them with 99% isopropyl alcohol. After cleaning, rinse with cold water. Always allow the bags to dry completely before storing them to prevent mold or rot issues.
