    Concentrates for Noobs - Q&A

    Glad to see this is the first thread in the Concentrates section on the NFC, but I really hope some of the more relevant information from the old thread is preserved, ie, tech and techniques. And to anyone who is hesitant about rosin press, it is not hard at all. I have a simple Irwin bench vise...

    Concentrates for Noobs - Q&A

    Maybe one of those products that you mix concentrate with to make e-juice? Like wax liquidizer, shatter batter, etc? Just thinking out loud.

    Rosin Technique....Easy DIY Solventless

    I'm going off of what I have experienced and witnessed. And I don't know what is meant by "your torch powered deuce"...my setup is home made and very old school and gets me the results I desire. I measure temperature between every pressing so the temp stays where I want it. Also, one of my first...

    Rosin Technique....Easy DIY Solventless

    Eh, I'm not so sure on the "real" press thing although I'm not doubting that things have advanced in this field. I really think it is down to strain and moisture content. I have read so much through the years of rosin press that I have come to the conclusion that there is a pressure and...

    Patience and time...take detailed notes so you can continually improve until you get the results you want consistently.

    Rosin Technique....Easy DIY Solventless

    Extra pipe will help on leverage. For leakage, you may have had a blowout...I take a double folded piece of parchment, so twice what I would use for the nug parchment and that inside, in effect encasing the nug with parchment with the doubled up one if that makes sense. The problem I see for you...

    Rosin Technique....Easy DIY Solventless

    I wasn't able to edit in time so re-posting with a different image host...I'll post more soon. In the last pic, if remember right, there almost three different consistencies with the final product if you look close at the pic...a wax like, a crumble type, and a shatter, lol.

    Rosin Technique....Easy DIY Solventless

    Sappy yes, I get that can be strain and many other variables...but runny, that screams excess moisture to me. I have pressed many many strains and they not one has been runny. Sappy yes, shattery, yes, waxy, yes, but mostly I can stick a stainless pointy dab pick into the edge of what I...

    Rosin Technique....Easy DIY Solventless

    I started with the hair straighteners (I think a lot of us did) mounted to some clamps. I then moved to what's in my sig; Copper Nickel plates welded together by another member here, @Joel W. , with soldering irons in the middle of them, which are mounted to a couple small pieces of wood...

    Rosin Technique....Easy DIY Solventless

    if it's runny there's still water in it. I usually let my parchment sit out overnight open with a fan circulating air (that is if it is runny). My tech isn't scientific, but I am fairly consistent. I take the nugs I want to press and put them in glass bowl with a damp brown coffee filter. Let...

    Concentrates for Noobs - Q&A

    ^^^^EXACTLY why I want one....need to get off my a$$ and get it done. As for the cold storage, I don't store mine in the freezer or fridge since I never have enough to keep around! I would have to agree about the condensation if you didn't let acclimate.

    Concentrates for Noobs - Q&A

    I still don't comprehend...I'm old, well sort of...I am not in a place where it is "friendly", although we're creeping closer. I make my own concentrate from pressing, but I do need to go get a med card so if I want I can try a dispensary, although I hear the prices are kinda lofty...but still...

    Concentrates for Noobs - Q&A

    Confirm the taste of reclaim is meh at best, but it is still medicine and if you're in need, then ya. Heck, I'm an of the older crowd and I'm sure others in the older crowd scrapped their bongs, pipes, etc for that nasty black resin when times were dry....I DON'T miss those days, lol

    I know I haven't been around for a while, but the blowouts I see on this page has me scratching my head...are y'all that have the blowouts doubling the pressing medium? What I mean is that in my tiny press, I have a sheet pf parchment with flower surrounded by a doubled up piece of parchment...
