Pressure: 6.08kg/cm2-8.12kg/cm2
Click to expand...


The fact that they use the word "printer" in their advertising and the general appearance tell us that the device was originally made to apply heat activated graphics to fabric (a.k.a. a t-shirt making machine). We pass allot of t-shirts to tourists in my neck of the woods... Tead knows one when he sees one.
That's not bad. I've heard that folks are using t-shirt machines for such things these days. I thought of purchasing one myself. I was worried it would have problems I didn't foresee, so I dropped the extra pennies on the DabPress.

A little metric conversion might help.
The plates are 12 cm/12 cm (12 cm2). The pressure developed is 8.12kg/cm2
12cm =4.7in, so the plates are about 5in x 5in (a touch less).
8.12kg = 17.9lbs. 17.9lbs x 144 = 2577 total lbs applied.
2577lbs / 25in (5in x 5in) gives us 103lbs per square inch.... or 103psi.

That's just not enough.
Is my math wacky?

Highly stoned would be more accurate. It's like I'm a kid hitting a joint for the first time. Crazy fun and crazy easy!
 
Might be what I need to get ahold of... Maybe easier on the lungs??

Probably would be. Can you purchase concentrates locally? You might try it out before you jump in with both feet.
Dunno what a gram of rosin would run you at the local shop. A simply glass dab tube will run you $15ish.
Dip a toe into the water baby... it's very nice!

Yeah... probably. I priced out a DIY option using bits from Harbor Freight. In the end, I would have had to do some work to get the plates to fit the press, and I estimated the savings to be quite minimal considering the $485 for the machine I knew worked.
 
Dang forum software somehow unsubbed your thread wtf.

Sup Tead. Trying some hempy pots soon. Glad to see that massive root ball! I'm doing coco and perlite in little 2 L hempy pots just to give it a try.

Think they wood bust me for it being a meth pipe??????? I remember when meth pipes were made to smoke honey oils thru........... Back in the 70's... Hell no one smoked meth..... Or coke for that matter....


Ok Tead..If this makes any sense?

Mickeal Jackson and Richard Pryor got together and started this non-profit organization to help with burn victims.

Called it the Unit Ignited Nergo Fund,

One sponsored by Pepsi, the other Coke............

Oh well..

Man I got threads on my list that haven't seen them in 5-6 years... Guess I keep them in hopes they rise from the dead????? Keepem Green

Ha back when I was like 15 my buddy and I would go to this headshop and they sold those. He kept calling them crack pipes and the woman would be like, "They're scented oil burners!" They kicked him out after the 1500th time he called a "water pipe" a bong.

Ever do knife hits? Pretty much the same deal to do a dab with them. Just sprinkle some onto the hot knife.

A few months ago I hit the 'unsub all" button accidentally, and then somehow spazzed out and hit the 'confirm' button. Sure cleans up an old-ass sub list in a quick hurry. All those long forgotten threads no longer clutterin me up. It was accidental, but sometimes one needs to start fresh.

Yeah the new system is weird to me still. I have threads watched but it doesn't notify me of new acitivity in them if I haven't browsed them for a few days. Makes it kinda hard to come back after a week and see what's been happening. It's like they want me to be on here every day or something lol
 
So tead or well any1 for that matter lol. I was wondering if any1 has made some dry sift and then pressed that for rosin if so did it work better then the actual bud? Just wondering cause I found my sift box and it has a ton of kief in it. So i was guna sift the rest of this trim I got and press the kief unless people have tried it n it doesnt work lol then I'll jus make moonrocks :drool:man those things will knock ur socks off have u going like :cough: if ur not careful.

I watched a few vids of people doing that, well dry icing the hash off the nugs, then pressing that, but I think it was here we discussed the options before Tead got his press, and I (or someone else) posted that question to the group and the general consensus was that pressing buds also returns rosin with terpenes infused whereas just keif/hash would be lacking in the terps. I still want to learn how the dispensaries make their vape juice, and if it turns out that infused terps are a must, that's the path I'll travel b/c those pens they got are absolutely superb IMO.

Yea I jus ordered some terpenes to add to my concentrate I make I ended up getn linalool terpenes which helps as a antidepressant, anti inflammatory, anti anxiety, sedative, and as a analgesic then I also got the terpenes for the strain sunset sherbet so those should make for some interesting effects lol.

Is this how they do it in the dispensaries? My guy at the local hydro store tells me even though the one I love is called "Jack Herer", it is mixed with several different terpenes and/or strains of THC, but whatever the case is, I aim to learn that fine skill. The shit I been making is ass on a good day. It fucks me up nice, but tastes like popcorn and shit, lol. BHO thinned out with WAXvaporizer juice. Not good stuff!

Shouldn't it be sponsored by Pepsi and cocaine? I think Pryor was free-basing if memory serves.

Not since I was a kid with some hash. Bringin back the memories.
I haven't tried the hot knife with the rosin yet. I like the glass tubes. I have a silicone nectar collector too, but the glass gives better hits.

I tried it with a 160 micron screen. Should have used a 90. Bag broke... paper broke. Made a huge mess and the results were similar to all my other pressings.

Congrats on your new press T. That looks yummmm.
Click to expand...

Very yum.
I had enjoyed dabbing a few times in the past with other folks. The press makes it simple.... stupid simple. I haven't touched herb in a week... well, except to pack it in the press bags. How have I not been doing this for several years already?!?!

Man... I've got several grams of Jack Herer in the cupboard and I've been smokin on it hard. Very nice. Nothing mixed in... just the straight rosin. The taste is stunning. Dunno why anyone would add anything to it.

I made some ejuice with the rosin and a mix of VG and PG. Less taste, but it was still there.

That's when the terpenes would come in handy to boost the flavor back up. And from what I'm reading certain terpenes give different effects depending on which ones u use. So if u made a concentrate tht didnt have much flavor u cud use the Terps, an also to give certain effects a boost. So I guess I'll see how good it actually works lol. I got the linalool to help as a mood booster and to see if it makes a difference. I've tried the sunset sherbet so far an it has a great smell but I havnt tried enough of it yet to really get a flavor out of it but I barely used a drip. Cause I member last time I tried the terpene infusion thing I did WAY 2 much an it tasted like shizz lol. So taken it slowly this time n so far it's not bad or anything so that's good lol.
