Holy moly Hy! Nice work.
It was asked about vaping oil. Yes possible in the volcano. But IMO a dab rig is more efficient for oil. Soooooo....question
Is the best way to process into hash first and then make the rosin or do you like it straight from the bud better?
How much time/work involved compared to other methods?
Seems that a stupid hair straightener is pretty damn safe.
from flower and from hash are both great. From hash. It lasts a little longer before the lipids start to crystalize. That's when it melts on itself.the high from hash rosin seems to last longer.
you press at about 221-230 degrees with a digital hair straightener. You press 0.3 at a time for 4-8 seconds Anymore and yield will be smaller. Its best to use Teflon oil slick sheets rather than parchment. It takes about 10 min to make a gram of rosin.
with flower you place a bud between parchment or slick sheet.then squeeze with the flat iron. With hash. You place the hash between a 25µ screen then place that screen between parchment or slick sheet then press. The oils excrete onto the sheet. You collect them with a dabber. If you hold the press longer you get more waxy / sappy product. Less more like hard candy / shatter. Higher temps will make it more waxy too.
I'm currently using it at 400° . Thats fine for flowers. You want lower temod for hash. I'm flat broke. I have loot for groceries and bills. But nothing else. So I have to wait til after next harvest to buy a better iron and and Teflon sheets.
with a t shirt press. You still want to press 0.3 at a time. You can do multiple 0.3's spread out over a t shirt press. You also have to modify the press so the plates touch each other when pressing. Also remove the silicone.

apparently on the rosin tech group on facebook. I sparked a huge debate on the pronunciation of the word rosin. I can't help but laugh. I just asked a question is it raw Zen or roe Zen. On hash church they say both.
