Extraction Dudeski and the Vape

[Ripper]

I did prepress but didnt weigh any buds. Just pulled nicest ones from the top of the jar. Funny, my best return was when I pressed 3 of the already pressed pucks together for a second run. And it was still clean! May need to run a bit longer. Has temps set on 210. Working with it afterwards is a sticky mess.

It has been warm in the garage for me so I have been going inside the house to gather the resin. I put the parchment on my granite counter tops and it becomes more manageable. Also put your tool and the parchment in the freezer for 5 minutes helps.

Put it in just after pressing? Using the granite is smart!

I believe it was @Mañ'O'Green who uses pie pans with freezer packs between them as a surface to work on while collecting rosin after it’s been pressed. He’s either got pics or a video somewhere showing how he does it, seemed like a great idea.

He certainly did post that. I will have to get a way to cool things down, it is hot out in my shop. Thanks bubbles!

I have a 9 inch and a 7 inch pie pan with cold packs sandwiched in between and held tight against the inside top of the larger pan. This gives me a cold surface to work on for about 45 minutes. Rosin that is too sticky to work at room temperature collects easily when worked on the cold pan. originally I used the surface of the smaller pan but it works better on the bigger one.

The learning curve to handle rosin is steep. I lost so much before I got it down. Once it is on your fingers it is lost. I tried everything and finally just washed it off with ISO. Once it gets on a textured surface it is lost. You see the tool I use to pick it up off the parchment then wipe it into a small silicone container. Then to clean the tool heat it with a propane lighter by warming it a bit and wiping it into the silicone container. Put the silicone container in the freezer and try to never touch the rosin again.

2 hours! It sure is fun to see how it presses the rosin out. Looking forward to using this. The 6 ton bench press isnt expensive. I bet you can build a rig for 200 bucks or less

With tools and the skills to use them you can make a press from scratch for < $200. read my DIY rosin press thread in my signature.

Matching a prepress to your plates is critical to a good yield. I go over this in the DIY thread also.

I pressed the new Bubba Trouble and made vape oil today. Heavy hitter with a fruity melon pine flavor. Did I mention it gets you high

I like the vape oil from the Bubba so much I just pressed some more:

I did read your thread, twice. Got the harbor freight press and a set of plates. I'm glad you posted the pics of the cooling tray, just what was needed! Thank you.

My last batch, fantasmo Express. Man it hits hard and make you eat like a swarm of locusts @
