Rosin Tech

[barcow]

Actual residue in the rosin or on the nail? I use 110micron and never got any residue in my oil. So not rely sure? Did you do hash or flower?

The rosin looks like 25u hash and the bags were 90u from aqua labs. I tried pressing 90u and 25u bubble both had the same results. When I dab less than 1/2 of it melts. Also pressing same day. Should I wait for bubble to dry before pressing?

Yes let it dry always dry hash properly. Never leave any moisture in it. If it doesn't melt. That's the genetics. Less soluble terpene oils.

Haven't been around in a while. Here is some Flower Rosin.

DAB TIME!

A dab of grape lime ricky flower rosin. I got a 33.3% return. Using a $24 flat iron straightener from Walmart. Yeah that return does seem insane. I rechecked multiple times.

Let's see how this works out.

I just set my straightener on my desk. Then place a drink coaster on top. To block the heat from burning my hand. Then press down with both hands and lean into it with all my body weight.

Press for 6 seconds.

I need one of those!!! I stand on my straightener and I'm under 140 lbs. So I do this weird little crouched over balance on one foot thing to get as much pressure as possible.. I bet it looks hilarious.

Nice. Mr Nice Guy style. I used to do that but with an oven mitt but found I wasn't getting as much pressure as I'd like so started to balancing thing.

The coaster is one of those cardboard like ones the hydro shops give away. It folds over the straightener. I'm also 6' 1" and 230

The dewalt works. Been using that with 20$ Revlon. I've pressed around 220-260f. Comes out shatter. Only issue is sometimes it doesn't press evenly/slips out.

The oil looks nice, but show us that straightener! Or at least tell us which one it is! This is what I thought was the best one to get. Remington "wet 2 straight". It does ok. But not 33%

Its the quality of the flower/hash that determines yield not which straightner you use

But like @lio lacidem said yield and quality depends on strain mostly.

My cherry pie would yield 25% but my 9lb hammer will only yield 10% . This is the first time I've grown and pressed grape lime ricky. That plant was from seed.

I need to get one of them wide straighteners. been using a skinny one only about half the width, maybe even less.

 

[barcow]

Pressed .5 strawberry nug. Got .1 out of it. Pressed at 240 still a little sappy guess i can go lower temp. Anyone here tried putting drop of water on the rosin chips before repressing? Helps yields/less popcorn taste.

Don't worry that's not my business card. I picked that up at the maxum yield expo

Nice! Those are beautiful flowers!
I've only got 15% max yield doing rosin. Tried a few strAins...
I think moisture content may be a huge factor.

I'm taking my straightener to Jamaica next month to get serious about squishing

I just used the dewalt and it works great. I can clamp it very quick and easy! The only thing is, my hair straightener's lowest setting is 300f and with the amount of pressure now, I need to drop the temp by a lot. At least 200f, so I might pick up a new hair straightener if I can find a low costing low temp one. Unless I press for like 3-4 seconds maybe but even then.. lol
