Rosin Tech

I don't know why people press dry sift unless it is incredibly dirty sift. However the contaminant piles from dry sifting make great rosin. And yes use a 25u blotting screen. Then clean screen with ethanol/everclear and save. Once you get a good amount freeze, filter, evap and enjoy some nice winterized rosin. Stuff is amazing. Partially activated so it is super sedative.

Yeah that is sweet. I saw a video from the Emerald cup yesterday. Dec. 2014 Dude was talking about using a "vulcenator" which is used in the rubber industry. Looks sweet. Basically a heat controlled hash press.

For sure more pressure means less extra heat needed. Pressure alone causes heat so in theory you could get to a point where no extra heat might be needed.


A little off subject, but wondering what people think about this.. do you think the rosin tech would be a way to flash purge bho..? Your applying a much higher heat than needed (depending how low your iron goes), heat applied on BOTH sides of the concentrate, and your literally squeezing the bitch. No way your squeezing the bho to trap in. Obviously you wouldn't press for long, second maybe two. Thoughts?

I saw a post on another thread the guy tried pressing wax. He said it came out shatter and left what looked like waxes behind. He never posted a pic though?

I'll try tomorrow with a piece of oil I have left over. See what happens!! I have a feeling it'll turn into sap quickly lol.

with a 25µ screen it leaves behind the lipids and waxes on one side of the screen and the oil goes onto the parchment. With actual tea bags or 90µ pr higher tea bags. More waxes and lipids may get through.

with flower press. Its all there


lower temps will produce shatter. Higher temps produce a more sappy product. Like whipped bho

Seen this done with Kief, but here it is with FLOWER (and old dry flower at that)

Oil Slick pads, by far my Fav for collection (also dampens heat a bit)
Have used Parchment (tears)
and PTFE Oil Slick Sheets (ran out...cant get em locally)

heres the basics:

Dry herb, pressed into a ball

pressed into bubble bag pressing screeen

some other impressions:

I have used the Teabags from APE. My Main concerns are
1) micron size...they claim 90u but i have some 90u that looks much smaller. Also...I like the 25u screen, think it cleans it up better especially with KIEF
2) Environmental issues. I aint a hippie, but so far I have tossed around 50 teabags made of nylon into the landfill. I can see tens of thousands of these getting tossed every across the country. Gotta find something more re-usable

Bubble bag screens aint made of sunshine and pansies, so i have been trying to use every last spot on the one I have. after a dozen presses...have noticed tearing and got a plastic fiber in one o my dabs. not ok.

Oil Slick DUO pads, dont like being folded and squished (like i did in my pics) using TWO OIL SLICKS (they come 2 duos in a pack) is the secret to keeping them from cracking under repeated folding/squeezing.
