Rosin Tech

[DemonTrich]

I don5g keif at a time in a 2.25x4.5" 25iu baggies. 7g causes blowouts. 5g seems perfect w/o blowouts.

Wow @DemonTrich , that is not a lot at all. Can blowouts be eliminated by using stronger baggies, maybe made from bubble bags? What would I need to buy to press like 1/4# of kief at a time?

 

[rzza]

@DemonTrich sorry so many questions, wht are the temp ranges on those plates? I don't see that listed. Thanks.

 

[rzza]

@DemonTrich Nevermind I found your review on another forum. Thanks.

You lose psi with large plates. Bigger plates, more tonnage needed to press. Reason why I went with the 3x5. I should have went with the 4x7 since I rock a 20 ton. I press each baggie 4x to insure I get most if not all rosin on the parchment paper. I then out all my used baggies in my half gallon iso wash jar to get 100% of everything. I'm frugal with what I grow and try and use everything I can for meds.

Nice slab of rosin

I rigged up a nice little rosin clamp. I put a 600w incandescent dimmer on the power cord. Still have to keep it at lowest setting though and turn it off when it gets to temperature. Turning it up full was a bad idea, because it caused some wire smoking.

I just didn't like having to try to hook the clamp to the hair iron, pretty awkward. You can work this with one hand. I hooked the plates to the clamp with gardening wire, which I'm also going to try wiring up some buds with if they start flopping.

May not look pretty, but works. Rosin-Clamp, not at a store near you. The plates are wired in parallel btw. Also, the dimmer worked better on my breakfast muffin cooker. Had to turn it up a bit to get to the 250 range. Hair iron elements are just not good for controlling temperature. They like to either get up into the high 200s or be completely off. I use a meat thermometer for temp, stick the metal probe between the plates and clamp lightly.

You could call this an assault rosin press. Looks a lot better than that pink Revlon hair iron.

I started out with a 75.00 2" hair straightener myself. Results were so so, but didn't want to waste any more good flower. But in the time I did use the hs, the end product was supurb

They're just the right size plates for it. I would chuck the rest of the iron out though, and just use the plates. The rest is pretty useless. Need to find a way to keep the temp down though. Maybe if I wired 2 dimmers together in series. Only have one right now though. I'll pick up another one and see, they're only $7, the cheap dial ones. Or maybe some kind of resistor to lower the current. Apparently you can buy the elements separately on AliExpress or somewhere, if you want to go to the trouble. BTW, the reason I didn't keep using the little temp control that came in the iron is that I blew that circuit board out by connecting the power up wrong somehow.

The hs I used had a temp adjuster dial and led reattach out. Might be worth checking out for consistant temps

Mine had to be kept at lowest possible setting and still got up to about 300. BTW, I wonder if a food oil presser would work if you heated up the pressing part with a torch.

 

[DemonTrich]

How would you control the heat with a torch? I know using a ir temp gun, but the variances in high/dropping temps wouldn't be stable to do good presses. Imo, like the smaller run guys are just taking apart a hs, using the ceramic pads, temp dial, and fixing them to the clamp in the above posts. I'd use that before a torch. Or just Pony up the cash for heated plates and a press. You'll recoup your investment in a few runs, depending on how much you run

 

[Funkraum]

how do you recoup your money
when buying rosin tech for example if its for personal

 

[DemonTrich]

I'm a caregiver for 6 patients, and make nearly every type of med you can think of. For personal use id just go with the hair straightener. 45.00 plus cost for parchment paper.

i watched some person in America testing rosin against bud in a lab the percentage was high 56 to 60% thc for the rosin
however i was told that everclear extraction oil or iso was much higher. That being the case why do you think people are going crazy for this rosin?

Do you think people are scared to produce a rick simpson oil themselves?

good for you, your a caregiver bravo

 

[DemonTrich]

Solventless ftmfw

I don't see how rosin can possibly test lower than any other extract.

 

[Funkraum]

was on you tube video search it

The reason I like it is for the taste, so clean and more flavor than bubble hash. I press kief instead of buds.

 

[DemonTrich]

I have slabs of rosin, slabs of ethanol, glass dished of iso oil, bho, bubble, keif. The ONLY med in demand in my circle is bho or rosin. Now no one wants bho, it's all about the solventless. I use the iso and etoh for edibles only, unless someone wants it to vape.

 

[Funkraum]

so you make polm as well?

as a caregiver do you have all you gear tested? how often do you need testing
