In my understanding, this would make an eJuice which requires a different type of cart than oil?Why don't you use the rosin to infuse glycerin and fill the carts with that ?
Hi GBAUTO, thanks for your reply. I had a good look at that blog and the articles seem to be promoting a 600$+ machine in the USA. As good as that might be, I don't think it is the solution we are looking for at the moment.I've been making concentrates for a couple of years now using cryo-ethanol extraction.
I also have a rosin press, it also makes very nice dabbable material but it also contains a lot of waxes and fats that make using a c-cell problematic.
Because you will need to winterize using ethanol, it makes more sense to skip the squishing and just wash with alcohol.
This will give more info on the process: https://extractcrafter.com/
Instapot, crockpot, slow cooker. Excellent for infusing with. No need to destroy your weed in the oven either for decarboxylation as the slow cooker will decarb while infusing.@Arkos not sure at all, what you are reffering to about instapot.
All the Source or etoh does is recover the alcohol for reuse.Hi GBAUTO, thanks for your reply. I had a good look at that blog and the articles seem to be promoting a 600$+ machine in the USA. As good as that might be, I don't think it is the solution we are looking for at the moment.
We do hope that with the right approach. good vape oil can be made without winterizing by ethanol. In this thread, there are a couple of teks mentioned that have worked for others (from Future 42000 board).
Have you personally tried to make vape oil from rosin and if so, did you try the teks in this thread which have worked for others?

Brilliant info at that extract website,
I'd like to add one thing if you doing alcohol extraction.
When you've washed your material you can place the jar/beaker in the sun for and hour or two and most of the chlorophyll will evaporate that way you're left with amber colored oil even if you used trim.
Don't you need specialized equipment for that ?chlorophyll is still in there, all the light has done is bleach it.
The best suggestion would be to use a technique that doesn't extract the chlorophyll in the first place.
Bottom line...to make vapable extract you need to remove waxes and fats from the extract.The whole alcohol extraction route is a bit beyond me at this stage. Not sure where the instapot comes in (in place of the machine in that article). Deep freezer, buchner funnel, vaccuum pump... It all sounds good but I just wanna make some vape oil and have a rosin press... I havent found clear instructions for what your reffering to on the website you sent -- it just advises to use that "genius" machine they sell while deriding other methods.
I'm just gonna quote Graywolf here, say no to bro-science...chlorophyll is still in there, all the light has done is bleach it.

I stretched the decarb time to little over two hours....rosin stopped bubbling after about 25 minutes at @ 215-220. I lowered the temp to 200 and covered with larger beaker for another hour and half. I am still little confused about the ratio of terps because I see all kinds of recipes of ratio as you did. So, best to just experiment and see.Thanks for sharing your experience. Those hot plate stirrers are pretty cool. I found one online for less than 60$ with temperature setting readout. Thinking of buying it.
@myvoy How slow did you decarb? Because I heard one report of someone who decarbed slow and low for 48 hours and he was able to use ZERO solvents/terps.
I hear of terps in the range from 1:20 to 1:1!
Looks like your attatchments didnt come through mate.I stretched the decarb time to little over two hours....rosin stopped bubbling after about 25 minutes at @ 215-220.

Whatever you do, invest in quality carts because as thick the oil was, I was able to vape most of it using CCell carts.
Also, if you go the hot plate route, get a decent temp gun. Ill update after I try with kief and 20%

No updates from me, but I am about ready to start experimenting...I have my press set up now and am getting good at cranking out rosin pretty quick. The first time I did I I thought, OMG, what have I gotten into.Looks like your attatchments didnt come through mate.
Sounds okay I'm planning on using CCELL carts. I guess I would try to decarb slower and lower based on what I've read... Yup got the hot plate/temp gauge and temp gun. I think I need to get more terps that dont have any MCT oil cut in them tho? Then I can start to play with this... but hopefully I dont even need the terps at all...
Havent heard from you in a while @manfredo do you have any updates to report about your efforts?
