Rosin Tech

Crappy Remington hair straighter $20 and a $25 ryobi laser temperature gun from home depot to check before pressing. I turn on the straighter for 3 seconds then turn it off and wait for it to cool down. Check the temp and press around 120-100. When nothing comes out repeat at higher temps to get lower quality oil. Using 50 but want to try 90 for pressing sift.

Need to try 25 to make comparison. The rosin tastes exactly the same as the dry sift in a bowl which is crazy. Wish I tried with better material. This is done random sugar leave shake so it doesn't taste too clean. Anyone else experience dry throat? I seem to get it if the oil is darker brown. The first couple presses at 100f are amazing shatter(1-2 dabs). Almost won't stick to dab tool and does not leave a dry aftertaste. After that its browner and have been able to press it 7-8 times. Also to increase yield I rub it along the straighter as I'm pushing on it. Also when you fold the paper to the metal screen don't let the fold touch and you will notice the oil will drip down to the fold giving more room for yield. Noticed when the crease touched he oil would soak back into the hash.

My experience is higher temp give bigger yield quicker but quality is much lower and I don't get as stoned, flavor is lost, and my throat gets dry. Picture below of .8 lower quality at 120-160f. Acts like shatter. Hope this explanation helps.

Are those for pressing bubble or making rosin? I was under the impression those work too slowly to press out rosin since it works like a car jack.

Trying to find info online. The website says you can put the press in the oven up to 300 degrees. No idea how the process works though. Would be curious to see a video of it in action.

Did find APE tech prototype with a air pump. Not for sale though.

Just made cheap home press to work with 2 pieces of metal and a 600 pound c clamp. Use the hair straighter to heat up the metal. Works great. Able to squeeze out oil from sift that I thought was spent.

those are for rosin. I wouldn't use them for pressing hash. I'd wait for what d nail is releasing in a few months.


Screens were supposed to be delivered today. I missed it. They always leave it at the door. Now I have to wait til tomorrow to pick it up at the post office.

So I did 1 gram and I got back .3, 30% yield with very nice flavor. It is a little dark color but I personally don't care. I did press for about 5-7 seconds, 2-3 presses. 300f was the temp and I used a 25u screen. Debating on using a tea bag next for the next gram, or using a 110u silk screen.

all the straighteners have ceramic plates. I've wondered how steel plates would do... when those sic plates come out ..... I haven't seen a steel nail either. Steel doesn't tarnish like silver does. I wonder why no ones made them. Steel is cheaper $$$ than titanium too.
