That is a good question, I need to see it to know for sure. He describes it as a vape pen, but it sounds like it takes an e-cig style cartridge.
Rosin works great in a wax style vape pen. It could be diluted with propaline glycol to use in liquid style pen.
This is rosin from blue dream flowers. It doesn't rock my world the way my ak-47 rosin does. Good yeilder though.image.jpeg

So i tried this tek with street "GOOD" bud. Eh. No, did not work. Im going to have to wait until harvest to use actual dank quality buds. Oh well, gotta do things sake of learning. 20 a G lmfao. I hate the game.

I just pressed 2 grams of some old nugs that were in the freezer and got .2g return. Fresher buds the better? To get better returns ? Love the taste and high and working indoors though

so I was thinking this rosin tech is the way to go with all the crappy bubble I made . does a regular tea bag that I have emptied work with a couple pieces of parchment paper?
Don't use a tea bag that has had stuff in it already... You can buy empty ones right next to the tea at your local grocery store. Needless to say if you use a prefilled one you will get a weird taste. I used the teabags at first but soon realized I had coffee filters in my cupboard. Coffee filters are much stronger and leave less fibers in your final product(but still leave a few small fibers). Make sure to wrap the product with 2 layers of filter. You also need to make sure to increase your pressure slowly as you begin to heat the product as you will bust the coffee filter pretty easily if you apply full force without heating the resin first.

View attachment 3574352 66% return pressing dry sift. Wonderful. Done by hand with straightener. Strawberry OG is straight sap .flavor town. Hard to work with but we'll worth it.
I find that if you let the slabs sit without the top touching the parch you will degass some of the more volatile molecules and get a pretty stable product. However you are getting close to a BHO like purge by letting your terps vape for a long period of time and letting some of that flavor town fade.

Yes this is true but i Don't mind it being unstable or butter out on me because the flavor is worth it. An stop sniffing up all my terps. Lol

I find some strains are just sap an more volatile because of greater terps concentration. Due to this they are not able to make stable . An if it requires a loss of them to do so I m out. Have noticed a difference in efficacy of some strains who I have been able to coax more smellout of.

Totally, my golden goat always goo's up, always sappy. Sap is a good thing, shows insane quality of your buds. Making rosin is a really good way to tell the quality of the buds.

I am on the same boat of more flavor = more better. I would suggest trying to use a oil-slick style silicone pad to squish with then freeze and collect, because it is way easier to collect the entire product especially with a sappier consistency. Then keep it in a silicone container afterwards to minimize loss of product to surfaces you expose it too.

I've used my outdoor organic nugs and got a 16% return. This is good considering I wouldn't think they are any higher than 12-15% THC. So I would say that as long as you have something over 8% you should get a decent return.

Have you tried the garlic press tech? Take some parchment and wrap 5 gs of nugs in a ball and press them into a small little patty. this will help tremendously to press more at one time and usually helps with getting a better return.

Thanks for the info man. Those 25 micron self made envelopes sound great for it
No problem as for these extraction companies I feel sam about as most to all hydro shops .don't need the bs .can produce and or make all you need yoyrself. 95% time. You can get yards of mesh for price 1 Pack b man s or rosin tech pre made

There is a lot to be said about DIY as I make my own clone machines and tumblers but sometimes I don't want to fiddle around with things like sewing little mesh bags and learning how to mill steel and aluminum to make platens for my press. Sometimes it's better to let other people do the R&D and not waste your own time. That's why I didn't by the first round of d-nail presses that came out.

so i have read through every page of this thread as well as the @Twitch thread. what is the current general consensus concerning the pneumatic presses (6x8 dual heated platens) or similar? i would love to hear everyone's experiences with these. has anyone tried the machines that house dual pneumatic presses with 16x20 platens?
