I have to agree, Rosin is the best. What I do mostly for cartridges is use my reclaim. I have a jar of alcohol i put all my dabbers and scrappers and everything else that gets all gooey. After a while, i filter the alcohol through a coffee filter, evaporate it, and use the normally tasteless reclaim with the flavored dilutant.

so you use reclaim, dliute the hell out of it with liquidizer? Yeah I'll just stick with pure distillate and terps. Or, actual shatter and a hell of a lot less liquidizer. 30% is a complete waste of time for me.

My shatter this go around was a deep red, but 1g of shatter with 2g of mct ch8 is really nice. My starting potency Was pretty high

I do not “ reuse “ or recycle my product
I do try to make the most of everything that I yield . I do you wash my Rosin pucks and ethanol to extract whatever is left

Im with you on that. My GF likes the liquid because its weaker. There's also no odor with vapor, so it has it's time and place, However, when its every other time, I, Like you, am a Shatter man through and through.
My liquid is the Marijuana equivalent of Bud Light Lime.

To get the BEST product, you must do as reallybigjesusfreak mentioned, with distillation.
Using distillation, Your end product should be over 90% THC.
Using a dilutant as I do, your end product is somewhere between 25%-35% THC.
A full distillation set up w/ heating mantle is about $150-$200 U.S., dilutant is obviously way cheaper, but if you truly want quality you must use the distillation process.
For cartridges, i recommend low resistance (low ohm) cartridges. They're only a couple bucks each on ebay.

I just want to use a rosin press. What are some trusted terpene companies?

Right?! Let's see that deal! Maybe $2,000 but that still seems low.
Trust me, it's going to tricky trying to get resin into carts without winterizing out the lipids that clog the carts and turn them black. A few pages back I laid out my routine for winterizing rosin and effectively making a distillate from it using ethanol and a stove top. All the terpenes are designed to be used with winterized products. You'd need an ungodly amount to liquefy resin. Otherwise you are looking at PG/VG solutions to emulsify and blend all those fats.

Dude! He doesn’t need vg/pg To liquify rosin. AND @MstrChief don’t cook your ethanol and pressed rosin on a stove top!!!! Don’t listen to armpit....
if you are just getting started doing this you can use the .22 micron filters to screen out most fats and lipids. Use mct oil for your cutting agent. Read through all the thread... ALL of it. Many of us here have evolved from page one. DO NOT LISTEN TO SCHARMPIT.

How about $150? Theres 2 Distillation sets, they are sold at a local Science Supply Store, American Science and Surplus. The also sell online @ sciplus.com
Ive seen these set ups in store and they are all high quality lab glass and everything you need but.....
A heating mantle that will get up to about 350°C (at my elevation) here's the link for this one. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/401576114391

As I said, to mix rosin without removing lipids you will need PG or VG or similar. It's what is in all these different wax liquidizers. That's exactly what is in this TreesX stuff. They recommend 20-30 drops per gram of material, maybe more. That is a lot! I've tried this countless times and have found from experience that I get a much better product by winterizing the resin with ethanol and mixing in just a few drops of terpenes only to the finished product.
I am not sure how I became the crazy person to ignore, but that reaction definitely fits the general vibe of RIU.

What happens to your carts if you add zero terps or dilutant? I've tried to make carts with no additives using your recipe but the winterized rosin starts to butter up in the cart. Do you think just a drop of terpine would fix this issue?

If the rosin is buttering up then it sounds like it has not been properly winterized and filtered. The buttering action is typically caused by the lipids that the winterizing process removes.
My end product without any terps added is like the consistency of distillate, which most ccell carts handle just fine in raw form. It needs to be slightly warm to even load. I only add the terps in mostly for flavor as the process of purging the ethanol removes lots of the natural terps. I can vape it without terps and the consistency never changes, just not much flavor. I add 2 drops of terps per 1ml of product. I also add 2 drops of Floraplex terpene dilutent per 1ml. I found adding that improves the viscosity of the oil in it's cooled state. When I flip the cart I want the bubble to crawl whereas without either product the bubble simply won't budge. Having a bit more viscosity seems to result in much better usage in the cart.
