That’s just what people who haven’t tried it say, maybe if you’re using cotton filters straight from the cigarette. I’d recommend trying out Raw’s cotton filters as they are way more meant to be smoked with hash/thc/weed than cigarette ones. I also recommend the zen tips cotton filters (will post links down below)

Thanks, will look into that. I was thinking of ordering these for the setup https://www.amazon.co.uk/Screen-Aluminum-Frames-Extractor-Extraction/dp/B09M8RZVZX -- does that seem like a good option? Or are there any better alternatives you might know of?
Thanks for the responses people. There's been some great advice here.
One more question though.. is it worth me purchasing one of those "mini washing machines" for making my bubble hash with? Something like this for example https://www.amazon.co.uk/BUBBLEBAGDUDE-Bubble-Machine-Gallon-Micron/dp/B078H14WWW/ or will the results be just as good with me hand-stirring it just using a spoon or whatever?
Yes. I like to use one similar to this. it’s food grade, stainless steel, and comes in a variety of sizes, both on mesh and circumference. Fantastic for carding dry sift.
Here's what looks like a decent option on Amazon and the seller there has a few variations of this pollen press.
Hope that helps! ✌️

This has really been easy for me to use for carding dry sift. It’s 12-inch round and easier for me to use. I found a large clear glass round platter at Target for $10, so it’s easy to collect the kief. I use hotel card keys. Tape the collector to the platter. Dry card in 10 minute increments by hand. This should last me forever.
Something like this if you would like to learn technique I’d be down to help if you go this route
Here’s what I started with. Best for small amounts.

If you’re getting into bubbles I recommend this one gallon set. You’ll have all you need at this point to make bubble hash.
