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

[BobbyZ]

It’s a pretty steep learning curve.

Sticky stuff!

Ok I'm at 1.25 after a second press. I can do better once I get the hang of this.
I've got that shit stuck on everything within arms reach... It's got that plant matter smell. Maybe I'll go with something older next squeeze.

Try folding/tucking your bag corners a little before stuffing the puck in there. It’s a pain, but seems to help from bag explosions. Also, I’ve learned—the hard way—to press a little over half way and let it sit for 30 seconds or so and then start slowly pressing till I see a little oil start to squeeze out. Then I wait and let it bubble about 30 seconds or a minute. If it stops bubbling or running I don’t squeeze any more just let it go. You’ll be able to judge better with practice.

Better... only a small side blow out.

Nice!

Just wondering @Grandpa Tokin how good are the smaller 6 ton units like this one in the pic

One of these days I would like to start pressing a little rosin and I was just looking at that one on line.

@Dutchman1990 has that exact press. Check out his rosin thread. I like that little unit a lot. If I didn’t already have this homemade monster I’d probably have one of those or the 10 ton with an extra hand pump like @Old Salt is getting...or one like it. I like how compact they are and setup for Driptech. Perfect for the daily or casual rosin smoker in my opinion.

*Edit: one caveat...it’s perfect for the daily rosin smoker...especially if you grow your own! If I had to buy weed again I’d be pissed off all the time...

Cool thanks GT for the info

I’ve just ordered one of those Ghost. Should have it in the next couple of days. Dutch is producing some banging rosin with his.

Have any of you guys isolated the THCA before? Watched a few interesting vids on YouTube and thought I might get some low micron bags and give it a go.

The 6ton DabPress is wicked! It’s all about learning your temps, times and pressure! Once you get that figured it your laughing! I think anything over 10ton is excessive and not needed but in a home cultivator and I squeeze for my own personal use. If I was to go bigger than 10ton it would be for commercial use!
Here’s some Pineapple Express I squeezed a few days ago close up! Golden as pineapple hahaha

I’m very interested in this as well. I’ve only recently watched a video about it and I’m intrigued to try...that’s what lead me to build my own rosin squisher 4000...watching younoob vids.

Talk to @TheMadDabber he can point you in the right direction.

I’ve got some 37u bags I want to try and squeeze out some dry ice hash first but THCA isolation is on my to do list!!

 

[Grandpa Tokin]

Same here! Damn, I wish you were my neighbor @Dutchman1990

 

[Lewydeville]

I better get some bags then

 

[Grandpa Tokin]

I love it when even my Rosin greets me with a smile...
