it amuses me how things come full circle in this racket. BHO is the devils work one minute, then oh no, we've cracked the purging process so it's all good for your body/lungs. Now everyone's nicking their birds hair straighteners to make Rosin. Which looks like an even poorer return on your start material than bho.

To each his own i say. I'm fucking grumpy today, time for a volcano.

Yield depends on genetics. That 9lb hammer had a 10% return from flowers. 1 gram of.rosin for 10 grams of flower. But my cherry pie has a 25% return. Grape lime Ricky has a 33.3% return. Nightmare cookies 20% return. Pressing hash or sift it's 50% to 80% return.

Yield also depends on psi, temp, and how long pressed. To figure psi it's

Down force pressure / surface area = psi (thanks twitch )

So with a 600lb grip and a 2x4" plates on a straightener.

600 lbs / 8" = 75 psi.

$modified t shirt press with 5x5" plates

1500 lbs / 25" = 60 psi

More psi less heat / longer press.

That rosin I did not use a grip. Just my body weight. But with a grip I would have dropped the temp to 250 F

Better than bho. Average properly made bho at 0 ppms. returns from top quality flowers are around 15% - 25% and 10% from top quality trim.

Some og bho made by my buddy . 20% return. Tests can.back at 0 ppm's. He distills the butane. Blasts through a closed loop system. Then vacuum purged in an across intl vacuum oven. And he also uses a dry ice chamber

Rosin produces the highest terpene profile of any extract. So rosin usually tastes exactly like the plant smells.

Some 73/90u ice wax I made last week of my buddies trim. Mix of nightmare cookies, fireballs, locktite, dark side of the moon, dog trap. 10% return. But it's just trim.

minus the butane costs and its a no brainer.

So Hyroot, mind giving some details about this rejigged t-shirt press & the process?

I have a feeling it will be way above my tolerance much like BHO.

I like qwiso the best so far. Use to do bho, but I find it nice that the iso will evaporate off with no heat needed, gives it a great taste.

My returns average from 15% to 20% of high quality light orange/orange/amber color. I can get higher yields if I let the iso sit longer, but then it starts pulling chlorophyll, gets dark, and potency and taste are not great.

I'll do three runs, first at 45 seconds, second at 5 min, last at 10 min. 10 min is max I'll go. Still clear and shatter, but doesn't have that amber glow.

I kind of want to try something else. Maybe find a better method.
