Bag didn't blow out, but I can see a lot of oil that didn't make it through...I don't have a fine scale but I'd say less than a gram, from 7, so my technique needs work...Of course!! Plus i don't have anything good to vape it out of yet really. My vape only goes up to 465 F and it has the mesh you drip your dab on. it worked, but not well....and it tasted weird. Probably my device!

I can see just handling it is a learning curve...i had it all over my gloves, the tools, etc. Right now, distillate is looking very good, lol. Maybe I'll get the hang of it! Better order up a Yocan...very very baked though:blsmoke:

what kind of pen are you using? I have a utilian 5 that has a chemical taste that I don't like.

adjective
of the nature of glue; gluey; viscid; sticky.
I put it on a frozen tile and it went from goo, to like shatter, that was a little easier to handle, but it is messy stuff! Moreso than I expected.
Have you ever tried a dab rig?
Only once, but I'll probably get one. Just got a propane torch today in fact, for something else but it'll double duty! Although, I read a dab rig is possibly more unhealthy to smoke out of.

So far, I don't love it, just because it's a lot of work.

I generally don't like bongs but the dab rig hit me like a mack truck. Not something I'd do daily but it's nice from time to time.

What don't you love? The pressing? I think once you get your method of consuming sorted you'll be happier with it.
Yes I don't do bongs at all any more...God, about 6 years ago when i had the "kid" living here....He made a gravity bong and we were smoking roaches out of it...This was before i started indoor growing. Talk about lung damage!! Had to quit that after a few months! Still have his glass bong here, as he went to the AirForce.

Yes I think once I get a little practice I'll like it better...But it is a process.

Lol.....you are off to a great start.....
tip #1....don't freeze the tile, it will be cool enough as is to work.
tip #2...you only need to cool rosin down enough to be workable, a few seconds to a min.
tip #3..dab straight off the paper no need to double handle. Squish to skillet movement..
tip#4..get a set of these Harbor Freight tools/picks to use for collecting off paper, never have to touch it with your hands
tip #5..get a dab rig...preferably an enail......you will never look back
tip #6..squish temp effects final product...switching plate temps will change your rosin. try diff temps to get different end results.....too sticky or too hard
