New extraction technique? Rosin tech?

[blastfrompast]

Bouldarado:

You have more patience than me.. I am using sift, crappy hash, etc.

Fresh sift has been the absolute bomb tho... Lucky me that I just cropped

i find scraping to be terrible really. you should roll it up on a round tool. works really well.

Just tried something different, pressed fresh water hash, just removed from the bag and dried with the pressing screen. It yielded huge, the resulting oil is gross, sizzles on the nail at least.

Was just thinking what if you pressed wet, collected the rosin and put it under vacuum at room temp to boil the water off?

I honestly don't know if it yielded more or if the water just allowed it spread more. It definitely has something to do with the moisture content of the material.

Quick edit: the chlorophyll taste is gonna be tough to purge out. I think it would be smart to keep a bath of distilled water and bath each bag in the fresh clean water, I suspect that is where the chlorophyll taste and smell is coming from with the stuff I just pressed, I reused the water in a 5 gallon several times and it definitely picked up some terps but a fair amount of chlorophyll also.

This looks delicious

I've just been pressing straight nugs, no screen; .15-.5g a piece. For the smaller nugs (<.25g) I'll throw them in a kief press and make a puck. For larger ones I'll press them as tight as I can between two boards. 4s @ 310f has been getting ~10-15%+ back. Not sure about your dabbing preferences, but personally a .25g nug (top shelf quality) produces enough rosin for 1-2 solid dabs.

Collection is kind of pain- easiest way I've found is to pick the contaminants out and then scrape it up with a dulled razor, adding heat or cold when necessary. The rosin can usually be completely collected in 1 or 2 passes. If you have multiple runs of the same strain, you can keep all the rosin on the razor and gather it at the end.

Thank you, i think i need to revise how i am pressing or something, my yields just sucked I think and that is what was making it such a pain. Going to try and compress the buds down first next time.

i decided i am actually going to make and try and sell rosin pins/rolling pins made of glass for rosin. My dad and I love our glass rods for pickup. I bet the kids will dig a blinged out collector

Ewww that's a good new market. When I get the glass shop running again maybe I'll make some prototypes for you

Just smoked some of the candyland rosin and when I went to cut a slice up it had a nice shatter consistency. Pretty smooth and had a nice taste but didn't last long but shit is potent I'm ripped right now.

 

[Heusinomics]

Agreed!
Like grey wolf said too, this is not a productive way of producing something "almost like shatter" when we can rip slabs all day!!
It's jst a fun kitchen tek project for hobbiests w small piles of keef..

Rather than edit away my ignorance. I am quoting myself to apologize for my rush to judgement!
I am simply blown away at the progress you hav all made in the tek of stellar rosin collection! It clearly does have it's place and may in fact b agame changing way of extraction!

No I haven't started squeezing my bong hits into dabs yet, but I assure u I will b one way or another. N on that note I'll add some shots form the cup ware they want us to do jst that.

It's a BYOB press for on the spot dabs.
When I saw it I thought of all u's guys. So I snapped afew pix if the press they use.
Dude who"knows about rosin" will b in tomorrow (he was Mia) n I'll get some lo dwn for u folks. n hopefully snap som pix of som shmears lol.

With all the bhotards blowing shit up, legal states are rethinking extraction tech, I think any extraction using butane and possibly co2 will be highly illegal in the near future. So again it is the actions of a few that ruin it for everyone, not that i like bho, i have never touched it, or ever will. With a few people some cheap equipment and enough raw material, you could produce a lot of Rosin relatively cheap. No need for purging, winterizing, or chemical residue tests. Rosin is one of, if not the cleanest, strongest, best concentrate, even better than the best dry sift imho. I hope it makes a big splash and is here to stay, it sure is at my house...

 

[Sunfire]

That press is a shitty design, the handle will break and you won't get as much pressure as other designs. I did a lot of research and read a lot of people comments and reviews.

In cali they have a state initiative right now in sacramento to make bho even more illegal and up the charges. I think after 2016 cali is still not going to allow bho. It is dumb though, I hate it. I've been a slave to my system the last two months. Everything about it goes against my beliefs. Rosin is so much simpler and easier and there's nothing about it that's time sensitive other than the 5-20 second press. You can start and stop the process whenever you want unlike a cls.

hey kut!!! I'm selling the cls! Lmfao dude I did a full 180 cause of this thread! I guess you were right all along!

My gf said they already sell glass rolling pins at michaels.

 

[Hashmasta-Kut]

Right on Sunfire, I can definitely say i told you so!

And i doubt they have heady linework and opals etc blinged out rolling pins there. Any kid with half a baller status will want a fully worked collection pin

i was thinking about design ideas. for the average user, not the tshirt press guys, i envision something like a 7mm glass handle, about 8 inches long, with around 3/4" of floating tubing at the end(the collection piece), held in place by two raised sections of glass on the handle(marias).maybe make the handle worked, and the collection piece either clear or solid colored, or even fully worked as well.

any thoughts?

Anybody try to make rosin with a coffee filter? Tried it with kief works well.

Yes people have been doing that. A coffee filter Is about 15-20 microns

Lol the baller kids won't be making their own rosin dude!

So your saying more like a wand kinda style roller? I think just a straight up piece of 25 mil rod or tubing would work better lol! But yeah that won't allow for much artistic design. With the tube floating between the marias you won't be able to get down pressure. Maybe if you have some graphite ground glass tools you can make some male Inserts and bridge them over the length of the tube and connect that bridge to the handle so you can roll it like a paint brush roller and not like a wand. The mail ends can be fit snugly into the ends of the tube but loose enough to allow the tube to roll, obviously flame polish the the tube ends so it doesn't grind... this would also give you more sections to express yourself artistically with the synthetic Opal encased at the tip of the handle. Maybe a few chunks of moldavite cause the hippies love gems! Use a vortex marble for the male inserts, some wig wags on the bridge, coil pot a white tube for the roller so you can easily see your rosin, if It was fully worked, especially in darker colors, you may not be able to see the product on the roller. Do he handle as a flattened snipped out lightning bolt!

 

[Hashmasta-Kut]

nice ideas. i had thought about trying that style, but its definitely a lot more work. i think a section between two marias you can still put pressure down, as its on the rod, but i will make one to try it out first. i have the ability to make ground joints, but i dont completely understand what you are saying, do you mean make a handle that ends in male joints, and have them fit inside a roller tube, one on each end?

Yield questions

(based on equal amounts of the same plant material) what is the difference in yield between
1) Rosin and BHO?
2) Rosin from plant material and rosin from dry sift?

I hate plastics. So when I see Rosin Tech. I see people putting buds in-between plastic, smashing it in a heat press (a manor in which it should not be used, very important with plastics to use as specified) then scrapping the plastic for dabs. It usually takes hours for small yields even with large machinery. 5 hours for the "Quilon Special" is what (current plastic press methods) Rosin Tech means to me.

This is something I will never do. If BPA can get into your system in dangerous amount by simply handling receipts, then Rosin Tech = Poison. In basic terms, Plastics should never be used outside their specified range. This is extremely important, as plastics=poison. Binded and stable the many poison's used to make plastic will not leach. But taken beyond its limitations it will leach and give off these poisons. A perfect example of this is the Teflon non-stick pans. Used properly they are safe. But if you scratch the surface with metal utensils it will leach the many dangerous poisons used to make Teflon into your food.

BPA (used to be in many plastics, less now) was invented as a synthetic estrogen. This chemical has poisoned and influenced the hormones of literally 100's of millions of people in the Americas alone. In many countries there are no bans.

I will fully admit I hate plastics when they have anything to do with products I consume. Bias would be an understatement.

dud, nobody uses plastic in rosin press, it would melt. most use parchment paper, made of trees.

Oh wow, just wow. By your own words, Rosin=Poison.

Parchment paper is paper covered with Teflon or PTFE (plastic) by definition. So you just didn't know you using plastic and mistook it for "trees". My point is that the plastic (you didn't know you where using) is melting on to your Rosin.

In lue of plastics (parchment paper) I use grease on a natural paper for cooking...
