How to treat live rosin for carts

I have just pressed a nice batch of live rosin. How can I treat this so I can fill cartridges. I picked up some terpenes to thin it out, but I can't get the heating process right. Does anyone have a temp and time that works for them???

Ya, you can buy concentrated terpenes specific to strains. A few drops help to thin out the rosin. This way you avoid using other chemicals to do the same thing.
The devil you know. You can buy terps on the open market that you trust? Interesting. Please tell me more about the cart hardware that you are using.

Ya. You can buy solventless extracted terpenes a bunch of places. This is where I go.

As for the carts. I get these normally. All glass with adjustable air flow. No metal or plastic, and wickless.

I never understood the whole buying Terps thing. Why make live rosin then flavour it? Usually the Terps end up smelling like a bad cologne. Synthetic Terps or ones derived from some pretty strange places.

Because rosin won't work in a cartridge without something to thin it out. Terps are pretty much the only natural option. At least to my knowledge.

Thanks for the info. That seems like good cart hardware for rosin. My battery is set at 3.5v for live hash rosin

Are you pressing your own? What micron filter do you use. Mine is coming out like shatter which is obviously not great for a cart.

Gearing up for Croptober. Fresh frozen turn into bubble hash. Press hash between parchment only to reduce waste. Put runny batch in cart. It is not going to be the same as oil from recreational or medical cannabis produced with sophisticated lab equipment.

For sure. I'm just trying to get something that will function decent. What are your pressing temps/times? I haven't been getting any runny batches, especially when running sift.

lol. Will have to figure out the press methods after it is in the freezer. Running sift to make live rosin?
