Kief What’s your favorite way to use kief?
Haven’t opened the catcher in a while, had to dig out my tools.

u/thebestusernameforme 1d ago
Decarb then it almost melts into melted chocolate. Add some instant espresso powder and it’s almost my favourite edible

u/Crandleton 1d ago
You don't do an oil infusion first?

I imagine the fat already in the melted chocolate will bind

u/CRYOGENCFOX2 1d ago
I cant tell if he’s saying he melts it in chocolate or that it just melts into a chocolate like consistency? (I have never made edibles)

u/thebestusernameforme 1d ago
I (she) melt chocolate then add the decarbed kief. The kief is almost undetectable, like it melts into the chocolate

u/broketx86 18h ago
This is a great idea, and sounds relatively easy as far as homemade edibles go… might have to try it tbh How much kief do you use for how much yield, out of curiosity?
3
u/thebestusernameforme 13h ago
Honestly it’s been a long time since I did. I probably used about 2 g of kief into a cup of melted chocolate, but can be easily changed

Yah, English is weird and I read it twice as well. But they are saying the [kief melts] and gets added to [melted chocolate].

I smoke bowls most of the time. What I’ve always done, and works for me, is to put a little flower in the bowl, a layer of kief, and then flower on top. It’s delicious.

u/making33 1d ago
This is exactly what I do. Having the kief on top never burns right so having that little bud on top to catch the flame and burn the kief is the best way to smoke it without wasting any
15
u/cannadaddydoo 1d ago
Exactly my thoughts. Would rather have it melt than be blasted directly with flame.

Never ceases to amaze me that folks take the effort to separate then recombine their kief and flower. Why not just enjoy it as intended rather than the extra level of fuckery. Why purposefully degrade your pot? Why bother?
I will never own a 4 piece grinder.

u/cannadaddydoo 1d ago
Never ceases to amaze me that folks feel the need to leave stupid ass comments for no reason other than to make themselves feel superior.
I’ve had the grinder for over 15 years. I have no interest in spending money I don’t have to. It’s an old friend at this point. I’m also smoking homegrown, and the few trichomes that get caught in the grinding process pales in comparison to what happens to your dispo and BM stuff being handled and machine trimmed. I’ll continue my extra level of fuckery, and I’ll continue to enjoy myself. Lol

I like to save it for when I run out but I’m rarely out so I end up saving it for no reason then I have a kief jar that’s multiple years old and it’s probably not that great anymore but I’m sure as hell not throwing it away but I don’t use it either

I smoke about an ounce, sometimes a little more per week and use my grinder pretty religiously but I don’t regularly empty the kief catcher so it stacks up!

I’m in MA and it varies quite a bit.. tldr; we found a great weekly deal with a med card and industry discount.
My partner is a medical patient (tax free and typically better deals) and also until recently worked in the industry. Because his industry license is still active he still has access to “industry” deals. We found a dispensary ~45 minutes away that has 40% off for industry members on Wednesdays, and usually has at least one good deal on medical Os (between 120-150 for something decent) so with the discount and med card is veeeeeery affordable. He is more of a concentrate user so I get to smoke most of that O and usually supplement with an 8th or two or some higher testing stuff from one of the local recreational dispensaries to spread out through the week lol. Sometimes I add some of his concentrate if he has something waxy (I don’t otherwise buy it or dab often) or add in kief after it builds up for some razzle dazzle but I think I’m nearing the point where I need to take a tolerance break 😩

My wife got me a kief press one year for Christmas to make keif coins with. Compresses your kief down into little hash pucks. You just load up this cylinder with your kief, screw the cap on and twist it until you can’t anymore. Let it sit for a little bit and turn again. Once done you unscrew the cap and a hash puck pops out.
Think it was like $20 on Amazon.

u/FourTwentyBlezit 1d ago edited 1d ago
I generally use a kief press to press it into hash pucks, then I use my hydraulic rosin press to turn the pucks into hash rosin extracts (while also keeping some of the pucks so I've got regular hash to smoke too).
I'll also generally keep some of the kief left over too, and once I've used most of it to make hash rosin I'll coat my nugs in hash rosin before rolling them around in the leftover kief to make moonrocks. Plus I'll usually keep a little bit of kief just for topping up my bowls with.
Results in me having a nice variety of options, once I've gathered enough kief I'll use all of the above options to end up with a nice stash of hash, hash rosin extracts, moonrocks, and of course regular kief to top up my bowls with too.
If I'm feeling extra fancy I'll use it to make a "caviar joint" where ill first roll a donut joint / hash hole with the best quality weed I've got at the time and some hash rosin rolled into a snake and placed into the middle of the joint, then I'll break apart some of my regular hash pucks and mix those in too alongside a healthy sprinkling of kief mixed in there too.. once rolled, I'll the coat the outside of the joint with more hash rosin and roll it in more kief like I'm making a moonrock but with a joint.. probably a huge waste to do this, but the taste is absolutely out of this world.
Occasionally I'll also use kief to make edibles (I've found it to be a lot tastier than using flower to do so), or tinctures by infusing it with high-proof alcohol.. sometimes I'll also fill gelcaps with decarb'd kief as an alternative to edibles since I can store them for a longer time without it going bad. It's great for making coffee with too, especially if you have an espresso machine, stick it into the bottom of your portafilter before adding good quality ground coffee beans.. the aromatic oils from the ground coffee beans will mix together with your kief and acts as an amazing carrier oil for your terpenes and cannabinoids, making infused coffee in this manner results in a much tastier drink than simply mixing decarb'd kief into an already made cup of coffee.
I've also used it to make THC vape juice a handful of times, I'll use my rosin for this too but the process of infusing regular kief with VG or PG is more simple and quicker to do compared to infusing hash rosin with VG or PG.

u/Own_Alternative_9671 1d ago
I personally put it in a little square of either ziploc bag or parchment paper, then press it with a jar full of boiling water to turn it into compressed hash. It isn't GOOD hash but it's more potent than the original kief.

u/Different-Meal-6314 1d ago
I usually buy 5 oz at a time. Only way to pay $60 a piece. By the end I have crumbs in each jar. I spend the next week or so smoking the kief using the shake as a screen so it doesn't pull through.

Bowl topper.
I only use it for special occasions, if I have a lot of kief stored up I make a bowl with 30% flower 70% kief and get fucked up
Bonus points if you put oil on it too lol

I put a lil in my DHV and get ripped. Gotta scratch off whatever I planned on doin for the next 3 hours, but DHV is my favorite and seems to be the strongest way to consume kief.

u/Anon_967 1d ago
I always smoke it before I have enough to do anything real with. Usually just sprinkle it on top of a bong but on the occasion I do have lots I make an entire kief bong.
Also, what’s the correct spelling? I’ve seen people use “keef” and “kief”.

Oooo kief bong
Had to google the spelling before I posted lol I think both are acceptable!

Cellophane + baking paper: tighten around
Then place it for at least 24 hours under a footboard with the bed of course on top (no, it's not a joke)
Result in 24 hours for a quality resin

I like tipping cigarettes with it.
I pack my cigarettes so there's a little 1-2mm void at the end of the paper. So I'll push the unlit cigarettes tip into a pile, and that will fill up a little plug on the end, giving me a nice little manageable hit when I light it.

I'll have to try this. I probably should have mentioned in my initial comment that I've tried it in bowls and cones etc and it always makes the experience worse. The high isn't as good, it tastes like shit, and it never fails to shoot some directly into my mouth. AND I tried multiple variations of loading to make it work. I'm just a very particular person and it didn't meet the bar

I usually just sprinkle it in a blunt, or if I’m feeling snazzy, add a thin layer of honey to the outside of the blunt and roll it in the kief. Figured there are far more creative people out there though…
