Looks golden and delicious bro happy 7/10

Thank you Sir
Happy 710 as well

Got my VapexHale Cloud Evo coming tomorrow which can do concentrates I'm as happy as Larry, who ever he is.
Just a few more weeks until my harvest and I'm gonna be joining you in the land of dabs.

Flavor/taste and instant medicating is what hooked me @arty zan
Welcome to DabClub

Celebrating the 710 holiday proper
Some Colorado grown Ghost Train Haze #1 rosin.

Best return to date
1 gram of cured flower pressed.
.6g rosin returned.

This stuff was interesting to work with.
Very viscous.

Flavor is just amazing.
I Highly recommend this strain for any sativa fan.

@Wile e Peyote Welcome to DabClub
I'll get some pics of my process of pressing hash posted in a bit for ya.

Starting the day off with some @mephisto White Train rosin.

Pressed from cured flower.
This stuff stinks like fruity baby poo.
Great return too. 1 gram pressed, .5g return

 

[Wile e Peyote]

Cheers dude appreciate it

Here you go @Wile e Peyote
A quick pressing guide.
I press my dry ice hash into a thin tube.

Slice off a piece.

Cut that in half.

Place on parchment paper.

Press for a few second until you hear the bubbling stop.
This is what is left after the veg material is removed.

Collect the rosin.

Now your dabbin.
Some folks prefer to press dry ice hash and bubble hash through 25µ pressing screens to remove the fine particulates.
I've done it and I feel you lose a good deal of rosin to the pressing sheet.
If I want completely clear rosin I'll press flower or sugar trim.
Hope that helps @Wile e Peyote

it certainly does thank you helps alot just need to get a cheap pair of hair straighteners (wifes hid hers ha ha) and im good to go

There are a bunch of folks jumping into the rosin press manufacturing game.
I'm hearing talk of portable units.
Great to see such rapid innovation.
I think soon we'll be dialing in terp profiles by pressing at precise temps to achieve certain flavors.
Who knows what the next level is...
I'll be watching though

I think you have mastered your method bro so you may not need any new fangled gadgets lol. May I ask what temperature and for how long your pressing? Also your sugar trim,do you compress that somehow before Rosin pressing?

My method has defiantly improved over the last few weeks,I now have the straighteners at the edge of the table so I can clamp my hand round the edge of the table and on top of the straighteners plus the body weight I get over....trouble is 10 or so presses is all my wrist can handle without needing a rest lol I can see a repetitive strain injury coming lol. I'm not sure the exact temp but the lowest is 150c so I heat it to that then turn off for 70 seconds then press for about 20 seconds,I then fold the disk and press again without adding anymore heat....seems to work ok but I would prefer lower temp straighteners.

Here's the Blue Velvet Rosin I will be dabbing today, I don't have scales that measure below 1g so I've no idea how much is there but it was from 4 thumb nail sized buds.

Thanks
But as with everything there is always room for refinement.
I'm learning with every press.

I use a cheap Revlon hair straightener.
The power/heat setting is a dial from 1-25.
I press sugar trim/flower on setting 15.
Dry ice/bubble hash I press at 10 on the dial.
Unfortunately I don't have a laser thermometer yet, so I don't know temps.
I press sugar trim and flower until I hear the bubbling stop.
I have found that pressing in small amounts yields better.
Lately I've been measuring out 1 gram of flower.
I'll break that up into 10 pieces average. So approx 1/10g per press.
Takes less pressure to squeeze a smaller amount.
I too press on the table. Luckily I can grab the table from below to add to the press.
Less stress on the top hand.
I've been scanning craigslist and Amazon for moderately priced t shirt presses because the hair iron has it's limitations.
As you say.. I see repetitive strain injury in the future

That's some nice Blue Velvet @TaNg

Here's some @mephisto White Train rosin that I pressed last night.

Colorado currency
