New extraction technique? Rosin tech?

no one tried squuezing under vacuum?

just put parchment inside a teflon bag, vacuum it and then hot press for rosin.

maybe less heat is required..

about nails:

i have recently tried borobook quartz banger.
it costs a fraction of the original Quave's but it seems legit at least in material used, on the other side its walls are way slim.
I have tried to put it around 1000°c and it didnt showed any wear, fumes or smells. many months of use and its still as new.
It seems to bring out flavours better than Ti as vapor is cooler and it insulate your bubbler joint from being too hot, wich instead happens using enails exp. with torches.
It cant be used without a cap as you will loose some vapor.
To vape correctly i need to add more heat vs Ti.
Ti vapes good at 220-250°c , quartz needs 300-330°c on digital thermometer.
I've seen recently new design with a downstem tube to minimize vapor residue on walls, and with notches to hold enails. pretty smart!

Well i ruined my first hair straightener, won't turn off unless you unplug it. Guess there not made to be squeezed in the vice. A couple friends were over yesterday and we were discussing the color of extracts, back in the day the best hash was black primo, black temple balls, red leb. The lighter colored blonde Moroccan, and leb were not as good. So again how things change...

I've seen the yocan Thor in person. It's fucken huge and heavy looking. I have the yocan exgo vape pen. I don't like the foil heating elements design. They are fragile and sometime don't work for some unexplainable reason.

Why would you burn yourself? You don't ever really need to lift it off the down stem. There's no need to touch It ever.

Nothing beats a molten piece of glass touching your skin. One time I somehow had a slap of glass end up in my hair and it caught my greasy rats nest on fire, that was fun.

I've talked with someone one about this before. It seems to be it Will counter the whole idea of pressure. Sounds like a lot of work too. But If you try it let us know. Might take some experimenting to get temp and vacuum level right so your not baking away terps.

i got a D-nail silicon carbide head with a v1.3 base and a flat coil heater on my custom curve capper unit:

16mm or 20mm seem to work fine. it just depends on what diameter heater your enail needs.

This pic is so funny! How the hell does that piece even work? There's the little.dome bell/cap connected to something? 1020F is a weird temp to have your kiln at. Hash Covered stereo remote lmao!

As Bubbleman has shared and spoken about,

Different cultivars (resin profiles) Works / taste differently from Silicon Carbide, Ti etc.

With his new 3 nail setup, He is rocking it all and always got the right temp / material to get the most out of the resins.

Ofcourse he is still learning and trialling due to the vast majority of resins needed to be tested lol ..

Big up

Well pic only let's me see one angle. The bottom of the fitting may be solid and not tube to that's just a ghetto bell for heated surface lol?

Damn, I was hoping for you it was hash. Lmao why "the hell" are you putting plastic on the bench? Lmao you blown up a bic lighter before? Wheee that was fun, thought I was dead for sure!

So on to more important things...this is the little tumbler important was gifted. The screen it has on it is way to big of a micron, there's full on hairs and little chunks of green mmatter getting through, not cool, even for low grade kief, not cool! What micron do yall recommend for a good balance been yield and quantity? I'll put this little baby in the freezer and let it sit for 30 minutes, I don't care about time. I just want a tighter screen but not too tight and I have no experience with tumblers.

and further more, look at there prices! Holy crap, well luckily the screens arnt too expensive. So which one or ones should I try out?

Lol I always ask a question, then go research it, then come back and talk about it. Lmao it could have saved you all from reading my crap but maybe we can all ll learn from each other?

I think I'm going with the 130. Might try the 180 as well though. The one It have has to be 220. I don't need a 90, I'm not trying to make full melt dry sift...all though it would be cool...

Hmmm now that I've looked around again, seems like a lot of people are going with around 150 micron for their initial sift...?

Why spend that on a tumbler? Have you not seen my paint shaker sifter? Works better than any tumbler I have tried. And, it's well under $100 with a little DIY. My problem with every tumbler I tried was that it went too slow. And, if it went faster, the centrifugal force precluded the tumbling action. The paint shaker is totally adjustable to speed. I really like mine.

No I havnt seen it. Link me!

I didn't spend any money, it was gifted to me. I just want a new screen for it.

what good is a remote if you cant use it you know? its gotta be within reach.

no, i keep my bic on a different bench.

I use a 110 lpi screen on my tumbler, then it is all about time, 3 min for a #1 and 15-30 for #2...

Yes, use a 100 Mesh ~ 125 Mesh (lines per inch) screen for single screen dry sifting (150 ~ 125 micron mesh)

90 micron or 180 micron are not ideally suitable for the purpose of dry sifting for rosin....and since you already have a tumbler, go ahead and buy the 130 micron mesh, sift the material with the 220 then run the sift through the finer 130 micron mesh.

I'm not a fan of those APE tumblers for a number of reasons, the main one being that the rotation speed is way too fast.

do a search for a tumbler called the Tumble Now...this works great, has a 125 micron stainless steel mesh screen and lots of other excellent features.

I'm not trying to make full melt dry sift...all though it would be cool...

With aged, dry, cold plant material in a cold, low humidity environment it's fairly easy to make very pure dry sifted resin...one way is to gently sift the plant material until most or all of the resin heads have been removed, re-sift the resin through the same size mesh and/or through finer meshes and then use the static card technique over a 200 Mesh (73 micron flat screen frame (Bubbleman's Tumble Now tumbler comes with 73 micron screen that sits on a drawer under the rotating cylinder)

So without getting into custom fabrication, is a t-shirt press considered "state of the art" still? I need to go back and read Sunfire's tek another time but essentially sachets made of ss mesh or maybe coffee filter, pressed into a collection parchment. Press mounted vertically? And this is typically done with kief. Would this still be the best route to press trim?

I have 2lbs of trim and popcorn that's been sitting in my freezer for a year waiting for me to make oil... I would prefer to do rosin instead of BHO, regardless of yield since I never really liked the idea of BHO to begin with. The material is quite dry so would probably need re-moisturized. I was thinking I could moisturize it, then lightly pack it into bars while moist, and re-freeze it. Almost like ice cubes. Then put a couple of the bars into a 15x15 t-shirt press. A lot of experimenting and trial and error is of course in order... but before I begin I want to make sure a t-shirt press is the right piece of equipment to drop some $$ on before I go further.

Foundation extracts and ape are working on a pneumatic press with temperature controlled plates that should be available in the next month according to their instagram.

After I got tired of tumblers that didn't work, I made this.

Under $10 for the plastic container. And (don't ya love Harbor Freight) a paint shaker for under $50.

I started with poly screen but switched to stainless. I use this for the 150u shake and then I have 20"x24" hand screens that I separate with.

For some reason I can not view this video with Firefox but IExplorer works fine.
