Choosing a rosin press

medidedicated said:

Been puffin on this watermelon ultra rosin all day. Only, only complaint is its like shatter almost. Not sure if its lower tier from high temp press, I guess just more of it? Its almost as terpy as the low temp press.

Any one use hot knife by puffco or something similar? I dont like re-melting the shatter over and over but might not be so bad.

Considering buying one, it is hard to serve. A fan of the high yield, whats wrong with shatter rosin? Ive made harsh dark rosin from pressing super long and hard, and hot; this is nothing like that.

Looks like you got it figured out. It was a wild ride, I knew you'd get there eventually. Perseverance, this hobby is dope!

Yea, I meant the complaint to be a personal preference thing, its good damn shatter/batter.

It was a short ride, setup the official setup and out of two beans popped, this was the one and was a freebie.

I wouldnt say im in the clear till I hit my quota. I suddenly changed plans. Now having hit the lottery for myself I got greedy and thought up a plan to grow out just this.

Everything else is on its way out. My new plan which should work with my skills as is and a practice run with this strain.

Goal is to get 17oz every 10 weeks 95gs rosin, thats an under estimate. Soon as I hit that, Im just repeating and improving.

The more official it will be as it produces, only challenge is the variables that dont give me quite 20% but should still get 15%. We will see I guess lol.

Right on man. Nice job!

so here’s me pressing a pile of hash. It’s actually fresh frozen, since it is-40c here for a week I have been working on my invention. It works. Only problem is the doll shuts off after 5 min. I need a drill that won’t auto shut off.
So any ways. Choose Dabpress.

i wish there was an AFFORDABLE tumbler device like I invented. Like for under 100$.

Nice! What about a small electric motor, you could gear it down. Mount the basket inside a Rubbermaid tote and add an on/off switch.

Yes that was a possibility. I want the bottom to be curved so the good stuff all falls to the middle. An electric motor and some gears is what I need.
Why is the Dabpress tumbler 400+$. …

Here's a motor, they have models with different rpms. 12v, so you can wire it with a dc adapter pretty easy.

Bringsmart DC 12V 50rpm Geared Motor with Bracket Centric Ouput Shaft Micro Gear Motor 37mm Diameter Gearbox Large Torque Reduction Motor https://a.co/d/iVT2y5G

Maybe get a 10 gallon bucket with a hole in the lid for collection, just turn it sideways like you have it already.


Put a couple rollers in the 10 gal to stabilize your tumbler. I love backyard engineering!

So this is when I thought I would start asking what I am waiting for. This weekend seemed ok to harvest as it had 100% orange hairs since almost a week ago, about a week considering didnt even look at plant previous to that.

I noticed smells go from fresh to matured and now feels like its losing sticky and smelliness. This is the furthest I taken a plant ever that just so happens to ripe about now with no signs of growth.

Clear trichs Ive seen on 12 week old auto like its genetics hardly cloudy no amber but on sugar leaf. Ive seen harvest appropriate trichs on a photoperiod before all this on week 8.

I just am believer that it produces everything as you see it and especially now, its just sitting there. Week 11 but really week 9, flipped late. Might weigh a little heavier and smoke better but if youre just extracting it..

I dont think Ill ever do bubble unless return was higher than 25%. I just dont get why do that and then press that for even less yield. I tried hash rosin before, like no difference.

Maybe higher in thc a little? No way to tell from home made.

What I said about flower rosin I will add like now, doing smaller low temp dabs of a flavorful strain it doesnt stink at cold start and when disposing just in time it dont have bad flavor.

So I am pleased enough with things as is, its a different vaping experience but still a potent concentrate. I actually require less at a time to enjoy the best of it.

Plus I never pressed kief successfully and would freak out if I messed it up. Im a simple joe if my plan works out Ill probably never change it until I have to start over for whatever reason.

I am also a simple Joe. Only my mom called me Joseph, wife calls me Joey. Names are weird

I've been looking at the OG Resinator sigh...... crazy expensive

And I dont mean to disrespect bubble rosin, much respect to the work put in. It may get you extra stoned etc and burn cleaner etc. But I just want a basic product of good quality and save money.

Ive spent thousands on dispensary stuff and just not impressed anymore. I stay getting the same things.

Just got a hot knife about to try it out. Cool Alien color.

Quickly adoring this strain and want to know more about it. Is TH seeds a good breeder? The parents are WaterMelon and MK Ultra. Watermelon origins unknown, mystery. So is the parents of Mk ultra.

That is g13 and OG kush. OG kush is cool to be working with, classic.

It is in the flavor profile and smell. I dont know if I ever had og kush but if I had to explain the smells and taste its I guess best in their words. “ Spicy watermelon kush.”

Then to add to the mystery backgrounds, g13 if you know already, has some controversy to it. Created by the gov? Cool backgrounds of this strain, adoring it a lot.

Whatever you know about these genetics let me know, wanting to know more about this strain.

Oh yea this thing is a must for shatter. It melts through like butter, just press button and it heats quick. Makes it as if its like knife through butter. Just hold it over the banger and press again to melt it into the banger.

That knife…. Is what I need. Wow. It gets hot and melts the stuff off and into the device.

Nice I just checked it out. Mine is by puffco. Its awesome, its the only reason I didn’t like shatter but now I do!

I was just saying how I am not impressed anymore these days but I am blown away by this store bought wax. It must have added terps which I never heard of our quality stores selling without labeling that.

But this is right on the dot of smelling like strawberries and mostly tasting like it too. The strain is Strawberry. Very interesting, I know strawberry cough but I think this smells/tastes like it more but only had strawberry cough in cart form.

Very delicious!

Ugh for the first time I do think they added terps. Not natural the way it stays tasting like it after 3-5 dabs of other stuff all I can taste is strawberry. See this is why I cant wait to take it from here.

Got a bunch of it and just have to get what ever is available some times.

Any recommendations for servable glass dab tins like I got? Preferably larger.. That can hold like 15-30gs with no lip on it where dabs get trapped. Even 5gs would be good I just only see less or it has a lip and/or ridge inside it.

I have a collection but now not getting 5g tins atm and also dont have much time to collect before I stop buying them. I was buying them from store and saving the tin to clean it out and re use but I dont have many.

Not enough to do over 90gs.

I thought I was out of space but actually could just turn simething sideways and get an extra 3x3 lol I might just go from sustained to more rosin than know what to do with.
