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

[DonkeyDick]

flavor all that green in there.. is chlorophyll stuff.. ?

It was cured pretty well. The flavour is great, as with all your live rosin it’s a concentrated version of the flower flavour. A minuscule amount of plant material is in the finished product. No more than using a 90 micron bag.

what mold are you using before the press ?

I mould it in a piece of pipe. I blank off one end and compress the flower by using a G clamp to push a slug down it.

It’s a bit of stainless exhaust tube that I spun in a lathe to take the seam out. I made the pusher I use too, but proved the theory with a coin and a piece of pipe.

Speaking of Cherry hits....

Oooh yeah

 

[DeltaDubie]

My target is 62%RH in the jar. Filter is that bag? No bag. 98 Celsius slowly to ten ton over four minutes twenty.

A montage of the Panama squeeze is here.

I was about to load this one over there and saw your question so I’ll load these here too.


Cheers

Thanks for the ups, West and let us know how that delicious looking cherry hits, Modest?

want to ask you about the high heat 98 c ( are you Canadian?) i am but prefer my temps in F

when i was pressing up at 210f or even 200 f after 2 mins and 40 seconds .. i found the rosin can start to

cook up on the press and dry out and become brittle n fly off the parchment paper while scrapping on th cooled

plate..? im press my buds at 190 now for 2 mins 45 seconds.. im sure the dryer the material would shorten the

clock .. and go longer for wet.. but wet is not going to taste good..

I was drying these Sexxpot nuggets for a while. I got impatient and opened up the jar for a little too long. Never got the RH back so I lost loads of terps. No biggie though...still tasted ok and gave me a decent uplift and mellow experience. Generally speaking, so far Sexxpot seems to be a wonderful low THC variety for not just the ladies but anybody that wants a nice uplifting experience but still function. I can see this becoming an excellent morning coffee dab variety.

I did some better trimming and incorporated only flower material as much as possible. Even little stems, I tried to pick out.

Ended up with 0.2 gram yield for 16.5% if my math is correct.

I ordered the larger heater coil so that I can use their titanium thingy majobby. I couldn't utilize larger bangers either. So why not right?!

can you show a few more pics of your rig!! the bowl parts.. short of cut out of pic there..
i want one..

thats really nices looking gue what temp and pressure did u press at and for how long?

what is your math? weight of puck of flower / weight of rosin collected x 100 = percent return .. appx..
we can calculate with other methods for simplicity the above is excellent

i just pressed some gue too

Looks lovely! Super clean too.
Can you reuse that paper?

Thanks! No blow outs! I took it easy and didn't press as hard. I could definitely reuse the paper at least 2 or 3 times is my guess. Maybe even more. It is SUPER easy to collect from it too.

can you show a few more pics of your rig!! the bowl parts.. short of cut out of pic there..

I ordered it from the @DabPress website. They are on sale right now for the whole setup. Definitely get the upgraded kit if you decide to get this. There are other more fancy rigs out there, but for the value and temp control, I could not find a better option.

thats really nices looking gue what temp and pressure did u press at and for how long?

what is your math?

I pressed at 180°F
45 sec to warm up the puck then for 2.5 min at "full" pressure. I basically just pressed until I felt like I couldn't go any further without having to do things that would likely cause discomfort for a few days afterwards. I don't have a pressure gauge.

In my pics, it shows untrimmed and then trimmed weight. So 3.3 grams of flower / 0.2 gram press = 16.5%

Happy Sunday! I posted these in my GSC journal and the GSC main journal so my apologies if you have seen this squish. I just wanted to share them here in the pressing community.

Girl scout cookies, fairly early in the curing process but maybe a couple of weeks. I had it set at 190F and based on @deltadubie comments on time I went a little faster pace and I'm liking it.

I've been using this in my vape rig thing and its been tasty and a great high. Really liking the rosin high over flower. For me 99% anxiety is gone and I can get much higher.

what are you using for a pre press mold?

no filters on the press? not much material seen.

it you really like the rosin thing is you need to grow alot of pot one pound a month for pressing its addictive !!!!

nice looking gue...

Thanks! I think the pre press is 33mm? Its the dab press cylinder. I never liked using bags personally although I did try them once or twice. It seems like most plant material that comes off stays in the center area where the puck was and is fairly easy to avoid when collecting. Here is the pre press I use

whats the weight of that puck in the pic? ty

That, I don't know. I used to weigh my pucks but since I moved I only use my scale for nutrients. I'll have to pick one up soon, they are fairly cheap. I just never really weigh flower but I guess it would help determine my efficiency.

got to go make some new hockey pucks soon eh !!!! wow

 

[DeltaDubie]

wow bummer its to big... the puck dont fit in my bags at 11.9 gram size.. might only be able to make 7 gram size pucks .. bit of a burn from dap press.. was hoping to press more flower at once not less..

can do 12 grams in my rectangle..

need bags 5 x 3 .. maybe

Try pressing without a bag!

 

[DeltaDubie]

Try pressing without a bag!

i did .. was bad way to much material.. loll maybe 7 gram ok ..

the flower squeezed out of the dab press alot did my 11.9 gram puck .. scaped up some nice gue ..

burns crap in the nail still tasty .. lots of residue in the nail..

I have watched quite a few videos now and there are a lot of people that do it successfully. I think you may be using too much pressure causing the material to break up more. Also, the pressure placed during the pre-mold was an important factor. I got myself a ratcheting hand clamp made by Irwin. It will provide loads more pressure than you could do on your own. I haven't tried it yet. But I for sure want to give it a try. I get you though, the bag saves a lot of time keeping the bad bits out.
