I believe it's just for terpenes/essential oils, I don't think you can extract cannabinoids that way. AFAIK the waxes and fats have a higher boiling point so they don't come over.

Have you heard of microwave distillation? Pretty interesting stuff :science: Too bad most of these lab toys are cost prohibitive for the home presser to experiment with.

Blue River actually stopped selling pure terpenes, IIRC the Feds were giving them a hard time over them since they come from a schedule 1 plant.

You'll note I said rosin cartridges. Undiluted carts made with solvent extracts are much easier and more cost effective to produce. :rockon: Larger batch processing and using the solvent to control the plant fat solubility allows this. Some of my favorites are Outco Co2 Sauce, Buddies Liquid...

You use less herb in a Volcano than the FP? I always found the Volcano to be another one that responds well to bigger amounts, especially since it's a session vape.

Blue River uses proprietary technology/equipment to isolate trichome heads by size, it's then pressed into rosin and mechanically separated into THCA and sauce. They seem to use cannabis terpenes extracted from the strain to remove the plant waxes, possibly similar to winterization. There's...

Undiluted Rosin carts are still the most difficult to produce as you have to use mechanical separation to control the wax/lipid content, which is the main issue getting rosin in a cart. With solvents, there's more control over the extraction parameters, but regardless, making great cartridges at...

I really like a good cart, I Actually find them more efficient than dabbing when used microdose style. We get some really good ones here in SoCal. They have the tek pretty dialed in now where it's literally just live resin sauce, or co2 sauce, or rosin. With a nice live resin sauce cart it's...

I don't mean this in any negative way cause I use just as much, but if you read from people that have CHS, those amounts could definitely cause it. My friend has been using herb for over 40 years, vaping for nearly 20 - it can come on at any time. Flower vapor is already a concentrate, you...

My buddies going through it right now, if you're diabetic CHS is no joke, you get so dehydrated it's basically impossible to recover without IV fluids. By the time he went in to the hospital his blood sugar was over 600 and in diabetic ketoacidosis. He had never even heard of it, after...

That's legit :rockon: My problem is that I still want to vape, even when I'm content with my elevation...

How long are you actually pressing for?

Two good flavor hits from any vape is very solid IMHO. I find pretty much every vaporizer I've ever used gives up the bulk of the flavor in one to two draws. The only real exception being bag vapes like the Volcano, as the terpenes and flavonoids are homogenized throughout the bag which gives...

:rofl::rockon: It's hard to guess yield with dry sift as it depends on what quality you're going for, some people sift so long it basically turns into ground herb and not really hash. If you're going for yields, gram for gram, pressing flower is going to be hard to compete with. If made right...

Wouldnt it be better to just press it out yourself on your full blown Dabpress for folks if you're also supplying the ice hash? Have you considered dry sift or cold tumbling instead? You could fill capsules with that as is for acidic cannabinoids, way less work. And nothing gets wet so no...

I actually think the flowerpot could work well for micro dosing as long as you're strict about the way you use it. I was thinking of starting a thread about this to get more input because it seems like for most people the real key to micro dosing is that their vape have a small bowl; like the...

It sounds like you guys don't have an enail so you're equating the inconsistencies of torch vaping to the performance of the banger. Having the right device goes a long way. That said if convection concentrates work well for you by all means enjoy! :science:

I like to press flower right after drying. If it's too wet you might have squashed more plant juices into the rosin though.

To even use concentrates with convection you have to use SS mesh, Silicon carbide (health stone) cotton, or hemp. All of which add their own flavor to the vapor, IMO. All glass vapor path of a banger is very pure, plus with conduction you can vaporize a concentrate at much lower temps than...

What!? Concentrates vaporize so much more efficiently with conduction. ;)
