I see your problem - scrolled up - yep you will have to gently heat your mixture to be sure

Use liquid coconut oil .. expensive , but a necessary evil .. Namaste !!! ❤️

It’s gotta sit , and chill after being mixed in , then remixed when you bring it back to temp.
It results in a completely different texture and you can physically see it blended better after resting in the fridge until it solidifies , ( generally 24 hours) and then coming back to room temp.
Dunno why? But it’s an important step in my experience.
Namaste!

I've never chilled my oil, and I've only ever used MCT, so I haven't had to deal with the state change. In my experience, once the three are combined, they stay that way. The only exception would be any little bits of plant material that make it past the 90µ filter bags I use.

The Virgin Coconut Oil was more expensive than the processed liquid oil.

For my previous batches, I used the liquid oil (President's Choice) without the lecithin. The capsules all seemed to hit the same.

The test batch I made last night seem to hit a little harder, but they all seemed to hit equally.

Today I made up a batch of 116 capsules with only the GDP rosin (and oil + lecithin) in it :)
I also re-heated the previous batch and put it into capsules. I got 107 capsules from it.

The small nug jars will hold more than 150 size 2 capsules.

I never chilled the oil either until I read it on here somewhere and saw first hand what that simple step does ?
I think it’s about giving the Lecithin time to bond the 2 oils evenly.. re: consistent dosing .
I noticed a remarkable difference when I did 2 batches back to back
i immediately capped one ,
and let the other sit , fridge, stir, brought back to room temp naturally and restirred
Big difference

Stay lit ! ❤️

Since I can't smoke it, and put it into capsules, doing it all in one go make sense for me. Squishing a lb at 7gm / squish gets old really fast.

Oh also do i need to do fully dried an cured buds or can i do fresh after harvest for more of like a live rosin end product or dont it work like tht? Jus wondering if it needs to be fully dried or not lol?
 
Lovely press! I have the same one. I think you can make quite a bit fairly quick with it but I also enjoy the process still. I can't comment on the bags as I only prepress and don't use bags. What type of paper are you using?
