New extraction technique? Rosin tech?

lol,, I finished with this run. I started with 4.2oz of flowers. I finished with 20.2 of Rosin. I noticed the longer I let the press sit the better. Even after 30 min the temp was not to setpoint. I will let the press sit for 1hr now before I use it.

what press do you have^? my low temp plates reach temps within 5 minutes and stay there for as long as needed. low temp plates .com I believe

China knock of of the Rosin bomb press. I posted a pic on the last page. Both look identical. My 1st press after 30min yielded nothing. After 1hr I was in business. I also noticed the pucks I had pre pressed yesterday did not yield the same as the pucks I pressed today. The pucks from yesterday seemed to dry...

I am really, really, ridiculously, competitive, are we gonna have to upload vids? lol seriously though if you can upload or give another link for that glass tool to collect rosin I ll see if I can find something similar, I mostly use a dabber for small amounts and for slightly larger amount I start a mother pile and once she's big enough I can clean a lot of parchment pretty quick.


you have to build up your mother pile, I start right away, with a very large one in essence, so there is no time to have to build up a large mother. get at me if you want a tool.

Game on?

Logistics are hairy, I don't think any of us have similar presses. 100g?

The last part sounds similar to what I do.

the most Ive pressed in one sitting is 20 grams. I think I am too small scale for the game lol

Fuck me we all live far too close together.

If someone seemingly at random punches out the short greasy clerk, it definitely wasn't me.

20g would do? Probably take me a week to film and edit.

But then a week is the minimum amount of time it takes to do anything.

actually, uploading pics is the most work I am willing to do, and I dont think I press like most, I have big plates, but a weak 10 ton press so I do small amounts when I press flowers, and is a ton of work, I get probably around .3 to .5 per squish, 20 grams would be like 50 parchment paper of first press.

I dont have the right material right now too, any of you have experience with pre seeds in their buds? like the pistils were never pollinated but every single pistil has started forming a ''micro pre seed'' Most people never really seem to know what I am talking about but I have seen it in a few cultivars, like Stink Bomb (the reason why I am not growing it again) and also Agent Orange would always do it on me, but that was years ago....

anyway, I am not sure I can press those buds without them pre seeds affecting the end results so for now I am about to make some hash.

I would lov to press an oz at a time and watch the flow. . I dont press enough to justify getting a larger press.

If you guys want to get a larger amount use bubble hash. I got like 6 grams of bubble in my bags. Get like 40 to 50 % return on the first press. Fold the bags twice and repress for another 15 % or so.of course I have 2 20 gallon trash cans full of trim so I can press for days.

Here is the 20 gram pile. Largest run I have made. I used .2 grams today. Its pretty damn strong. Rosin is rough on my old lungs. Its been sitting for 24 hrs. I can handle it now.

Nice fat pile buddy!


I just pressed a bud at about 1.5 grams, got about .3 grams of extract on one sheet of parchment, and it took 20 seconds to get 99% of it off with my tool. I imagine a second sheet would be 15 seconds. So i can roll up about 1.25 grams a minute easily off of parchment papers. I have to imagine that number would keep creeping up as the roller became fully coated. I estimate I can roll up probably 2 grams a minute as it gets fat with goo, so in ten minutes i could collect 20 grams or so.

After smoking rosin exclusively for about a year I have to quit and only use edible oil/ tinctures. Top of my lungs hurt on inhale and Ive never had an issue with my lungs ever. Never used tobacco and haven't smoked flower for five years. Smoked an average of .4 grams bho for four years before switching to .25 to .4 grams rosin daily

Rosin has a better/stronger buzz in my opinion compared to bho, and I only smoke my own product 98% of the time.

I smoked way more BHO for way longer, and now, almost exactly two years on rosin, easily 0.5 grams a day or more, no problems, no respiratory change. I think there may be more to your problems than just rosin, or BHO.

I was curious what your experience was since it sounded like you had been at it longer than I had both for bho and rosin.

Can't think of anything else that would cause problems for me, otherwise healthy according to doctors, although haven't discussed the lung thing with them. I have worked around a lot of dust with landscape maintenance work, but that's about it.

All I know for sure is it gets worse when dabbing and goes away a couple days later once Ive quit.
Probably should have it looked at.

Redlaser are you dabbing at high temps? I found switching to low temp (approx. 400F) on a quartz nail helped my lungs and throat out considerably. Just a thought.

One thing i love about the rosin, is how the terps n smell of the tree carry over to the flavor. I had some stuff that smelt hella good but when smoked wasnt it, pressed it n BAM, dumbass tasty.
