@hyroot Can you give me more info about the tfx? Pros and cons perhaps? It seems pretty interesting and almost worth trying a sheet or so.
They break down under pressure and don't transfer the heat very well. They are awesome for collecting via "drip tech". I would like to get the drip tech down and use a silicone bowl to collect.What's everyone's thoughts/opinion on using oil slick pads instead of parchment?
Looking good man. Now for the heat and controller. How are you planning on setting that up?
I've always heard bad things about dry ice kief, I've never actually tried it though. The quality of the kief though will effect the quality of the rosin. If there's a lot of green in the kief, often the rosin will have a greenish tint as well in my limited experience.I was considering doing a dry ice extraction collecting the kief and smashing that with a straightener. I have about a pound of larf and trim. How much should I yield off a pound?
Any suggestions? I have all my money tied up in my new grow so I cant really afford a dope ass press..
For running pounds, but using the kief from dry ice, would it be worth my time? or should I just blast that amount?
I make killer bho but I haven't even tried rosin yet..
So you think dry ice would be a bad idea? I have a set of bubble bags. I've never ran bubble but I hear the yield sucks. Would it be better to run bubble hash then press of just dry sift using a bag?I've always heard bad things about dry ice kief, I've never actually tried it though.

For kief I think one of those drum type tumbler units would be great, personally I just shake some weed in a 120 micron water hash bag over a piece of glass. Here's some deadhead OG kief that I pressed out to rosin. It's definitely not full melt sift with a bit of hair and plant matter but pretty nice.

Pressed out into rosin... I use a hair straightener and a small vice.

I was pressing bubble at first, then I noticed that all of my bubble rosin had this certain taste I don't care for to it whether it was made from the lowest or highest grade bubble I had. In my opinion running it through water doesn't do it any favors, but then again maybe my bubble hash tech just sucks.So you think dry ice would be a bad idea? I have a set of bubble bags.

not a bad idea at all.So you think dry ice would be a bad idea? I have a set of bubble bags. I've never ran bubble but I hear the yield sucks. Would it be better to run bubble hash then press of just dry sift using a bag?
If your going to press into rosin I would just go dry sift straight to rosin. I too prefer the taste of sift rosin compared to bubble rosin. Maybe use the 160 or 190 bag so you get more sift? Since it's being pressed anyways.
Dry ice will be too dirty to get anything good tasting, imo. Stick with the BHO for large batches. I can get great tasting with QWISO now as well but I don't know about doing large batches with it.So you think dry ice would be a bad idea? I have a set of bubble bags.

I have found the best results squishing on the day before the stems snap after cutting the branch. Humidity plays a big role. Lots of guys swearing by the boveda 62 packs for perfect squishesI 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
Damnnnn can't get away from it I guess. I've been using the Reynolds brand parchment but maybe I'll give the Wilton brand a go.@WarMachine turns out that tfx is ptfe too.... smh..... so yeah using that wilton parchment now.

Awesome dude. To be fully functional you will need some heater cartridges, thermo couples and PID controller. Shouldn't cost you much more than you spent on the HF did. If you need suggestions hit me up and I can point you in the right direction.we've just been heating the plates manually with a blow torch and laser thermometer. tested it a couple times just to get a feel for the process. we've been so busy lately we've barely messed with it honestly.
