Grandpa Likes To Squeeze Stuff: Solventless Extracts, Rosin, Pressed Here!

I made some tincture capsules from the tincture jar. :thedoubletake:
Hay GT! Obviously whatever you're extracting with doesn't dissolve the caps, lol! What is it?

I make tincs from trim and Everclear and sling it in dropper bottles. It's too much for most folks to do sublingualy without trying to slug me! It's like they think I'm giving 'em hot pepper chewing gum!

I love booze, so it doesn't bother me. Ms H loves booze, and tinc too, but was slugging me repeatedly until I got her to throw a few droppers in with her vodka. Gives it a nice amber tint, and I don't get slugged anymore!

So, are those just gelatin caps, and how are you filling them?

You're not sticking them up the other end, are you? :oops:

That side is a one-way valve. Hahaha!

I use trim or rosin with my Magical Butter Machine and Everclear for tincture. It works well. I’m not a fan of alcohol, but 3 or 4 of these caps and I’m set for the night.

OK,OK.. you all convinced me! I just ordered my 6 ton 3x5 from dab press. I wanted to order the 10/hydraulic but it will be for my dad's pain relief and my recreationally. I won't be using it too frequently and I hope I don't regret the fact that it is a 6 ton and a bottle jack(by hand)thoughts? I am super excited though and amazed how my dad has been into the discussion. He's growing a bunch outdoors this season to squish. 1st timer!

6ton is plenty for what your looking for..You may want to get a digital pressure gauge tho just easier for constant results etc

I have seen mention of a pressure gauge and I will definitely want to order one. Any recommendations on gauges for the dab press would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for mentioning it

I got mine off Amazon it was like $59 however my press is a 12ton and the pump is separate from the ram unlike yours...So I'm not sure if that pump could use one or not actually...U may need to look into that..As dabpress 10ton frame kits is where the gauge I'm talking about would be a plug n play...But with the bottlejack type frame you may need to look into it not sure if it can be done...My press was also double that price almost too tho...

Does it have 4 heaters total so two per plate as their 10ton is a 3x7 I believe that has quad heaters like my press has but mine has 2.5x7 heat plates and there's a whopping 6f diff on the entire plate only which is some very constant heating not comparing what the pid says and what the plate is at I don't really care about that as much as the plate being a nice and even temp as some have a 100 diff even which is unacceptable and single heater plates etc which u won't have very consistent returns and the thinner the better as in it squishing out quicker and not burning up ur terps from some big ass plate lol that will just sit and cook ur rosin so ya I think not.....Rosin is pretty much made for personal home growers not commercial use well as in 1 press lol just can't be done well quality wise but ya stores don't care about that they only care about your money .....And I'll keep mine and keep squishing fire at home from my own plants and better than anything I can buy...Which is how it should be and it's safe to

I run this exact press and love it! I have no issues and I’m sure you will enjoy the bounty of rosin in your soon future
 
That was the one I was referring too actually..Do u have a ir temp gun that you could check the plates to see what the temp is throughout the plate actually..I'm curious how even the single heater 3x5 plates are ..As I have dual heaters in 2.5x7 and I have a 6f diff max thruout the top surface of the plate which is incredible gives you much better consistency and even texture since all of it was under the same amount of heat...
Also on my press instead of the plate being a solid billet and they drill the hole for the heater and temp sensor in the middle..But mine there's two pieces and the heaters are sandwiched between the two plates and temp sensor on the top plate like so.....

Mine runs about 8-10deg F lower than the temp shows, not bad really

I'll run at 200 and it's usually right at 190

May not be the best for THCv making or crystals, but is fantastic for my needs

I've ran a 6gr puck with success, but the 4-5gr seem the best sizes
