Bubble Bags

At Pevgrow, you can find Bubble Bags kits and compatible meshes for all volumes, from home grows to more serious productions. If you're looking for solventless extractions, with complete control over the process and consistent results, this brand is a safe bet.

What are Bubble Bags and what are they used for?

Bubble Bags is the pioneering brand of water and ice extraction bags for separating trichomes from plant material using a 100% mechanical and solvent-free method. The system is based on using the cold from ice to "freeze" the trichomes, agitating them in water, and filtering them through various meshes of different microns, obtaining several qualities of resin in a single session.

These bags are made from very durable fabrics, with reinforced seams and meshes calibrated to the actual micron size, so that each layer filters a specific particle size. The result is a very clean bubble hash or Ice-O-Lator, with fewer plant residues and a better-preserved cannabinoid and terpene profile. To get a comprehensive view of all the systems, you can visit the resin extraction category of Pevgrow, where Bubble Bags coexist with other methods and brands.

How a Bubble Bags kit works step by step

A Bubble Bags kit consists of several meshes that are placed inside a bucket or container, one inside the other, always from larger to smaller micron from top to bottom. The outer bag (220 microns, for example) acts as a "work bag" retaining ice and coarse residues, while the intermediate and fine meshes capture trichomes of different sizes and qualities.

The basic process is simple:

• Freeze the plant material to facilitate the detachment of trichomes.
• Place the Bubble Bags in the bucket in order of micron (the finest at the bottom).
• Add cold water, plenty of ice, and the plant material.
• Shake manually or with an extraction washer to release the trichomes.
• Let it rest and lift the bags one by one, collecting the resin from each micron.

The different micron fractions can be dried separately, obtaining from very top qualities (medium microns) to more "cookable" qualities for edibles or later extractions. If you want to complete your kit with hardware, Pevgrow has a whole section of hash extraction washers designed to work with this type of bags.

Advantages of using Bubble Bags over other bags

The original Bubble Bags have earned their reputation for several reasons that interest both advanced enthusiasts and professionals:

• Calibrated microns: kits with combinations of 220, 190, 160, 120, 90, 73, 45, and 25 microns, allowing for very fine quality separation.
• High resistance fabrics: better withstand the friction of ice, the weight of water, and intensive use, extending the lifespan of the equipment.
• Optimized drainage: a good balance between drainage speed and filtering capacity, which shortens working times without losing quality.
• Consistent results: by repeating the same protocol with the same meshes, you obtain very homogeneous qualities between batches.
• Total solventless: no gas or solvents are used, only water, ice, and mechanical movement.

In environments where purity and the absence of chemical residues are priorities (medicinal consumption, demanding tasters, clubs), this type of Ice-O-Lator mesh is considered a standard. In the specific category of Ice-O-Lator meshes from Pevgrow, you will see how Bubble Bags integrate with other meshes from different brands and sizes.

Choosing the number of microns and the volume of your Bubble Bags kit

When buying Bubble Bags, the two key decisions are the volume (capacity in liters or gallons) and the number of microns in the kit. The 4–5 gallon formats are ideal for home growing or small batches, while the 19–20 liters and larger versions are designed to process more quantity at once.

Regarding microns, here are some practical tips:

• Basic kits of 3–4 bags: perfect for beginners, separating "waste / medium quality / top quality" without complicating things.
• 5–8 bag kits: for users who want to differentiate qualities very well, reserving the central microns (70–120 µm approx.) for the best bubble hash.
• Very fine microns (25–45 µm): trap smaller resin, often ideal for cooking, topicals, or for pressing later.
• Coarse microns (160–220 µm): work as a work bag and for secondary qualities, still usable but with more plant material.

If you like to have several alternatives of bags and brands, in addition to Bubble Bags, you can take a look at the kits from other companies within the general resin extraction section, where you will also find configurations designed for different types of users.

Combining Bubble Bags with other extraction systems

Bubble Bags work very well as the main extraction system, but they are also a perfect complement to other techniques. Many users work in two phases: first, they produce bubble hash with water and ice, and then use that resin to press rosin or make other solventless extractions.

If you're interested in that "two-step" approach, you can transform your best bubble hash into rosin with a good press, filters, and specialized paper. You can find all of this in the category dedicated to rosin presses, where machines and consumables designed specifically for this type of hot extraction are grouped.

Another common combination is to use the top qualities of Bubble Bags for direct consumption (vaporizing or dabbing) and reserve the lower qualities for cannabis cooking, making edibles, or bases for homemade creams and ointments.

Maintenance and cleaning of your Bubble Bags

To ensure your Bubble Bags last for years, it is essential to adopt a proper cleaning and drying routine after each session. The main enemy is accumulated resin and plant residues, which over time can clog the meshes and alter the effective micron size.

Basic good practices:

• Always work with very cold water, which helps prevent resin from sticking excessively to the mesh.
• When finished, rinse the bags with cold water at moderate pressure, never hot.
• Avoid aggressive brushes that could damage the mesh or open the pore.
• Let them dry completely in the shade before storing them, to avoid mold or bad odors.

Once the resin from each micron is collected, drying is also key: sieves, fine meshes, and suitable containers will help preserve the aroma and avoid mold. To store the final product, you can rely on the category of storage box for weed, designed for both flowers and concentrates.

Bubble Bags vs. other water and ice extraction bags

There are other brands of water and ice extraction bags on the market that may be cheaper, but they do not always offer the same consistency in materials, micron size, and durability. Bubble Bags has established itself as a reference precisely for maintaining a high standard in all these aspects.

The difference is noticeable with continued use: seams that do not give way, mesh that does not "open" over time, less risk of breakage in the work bag, and a more stable water flow during drainage. In a context where you process valuable material (high-quality manicure residues, selected flowers, etc.), the peace of mind of knowing that your bags will not fail you in the middle of the process has enormous value, especially if you work with large volumes.

Frequently asked questions about Bubble Bags

Conclusion: Bubble Bags, the standard for water and ice extractions

Bubble Bags have become synonymous with water and ice extraction bags of professional quality. Their combination of well-thought-out microns, durable materials, and consistent results has led many growers and extractors to adopt them as their main tool for producing high-level bubble hash and Ice-O-Lator.

Adapted for both small home grows and more ambitious projects, Bubble Bags fit perfectly into Pevgrow's catalog, where you can combine them with washers, rosin presses, drying accessories, and everything needed to control each stage of the process. If you want to make a real leap in your solventless extractions, starting with a good Bubble Bags kit is simply betting on the standard that others try to imitate.
