dunno if it's safe but people have been smoking isy wash oil for at least 30 years... your best bet is to ensure all the isy is evaporated as much as possible and only try with a qwik wash honey oil and not a green oil.... what I used to do is after the oil was nice and thick in the bottom of my...
@Kins
dunno exactly how you make your alcohol wash but for best tasting it has to have close to 0 alcohol left in it, mine always came out near rock hard
before I got my dabpress I would make it but the very last step to get the isy out I'd have the goodstuff in my stainless pan and hit it...
@Kins whatever you do don't buy a glass bucket (banger whatever), most people use them for cold starts for maximum flavour, imo not required AND it wastes product and gets the bucket dirty every dab so must be cleaned spotless prior to the next dab or the whole flavour thing is a waste of time...
dabpress 3" x 5" plates tip:
For larger than 7g I like to use 3" x 6" bags that I can fill with 15g, cut off an inch fold the rest over and the bag fits nicely!
Regarding pollen extractor I did 60g on a trim tray and got 11g back of nice yellow kief, pressing that I get 5g waxy budder
Same buds pressed straight get about 8g toffee
honestly I prefer pressing straight bud as yields are higher and I think it tastes a lot better!
I like to use semi dry...
I was gonna try flipping the 3"x3" plates upside down and adding rectangular spacers to fill in the machined areas and remount them, but wasn't sure if the undersides were anodized as well.... on second thought the undersides probably have the threaded bolt holes that would be "exposed" on the...
First timer dry sifting. I got 11g of the most excellent sift from 60g of flower, it must be good as it sticks to itself at -10c in my garage!!
Question is what's the best method to press?
I have 90u and 37u bags and the 3 ton press so no gauge.
the very first time I used my dabpress 3ton was with bone dry flower, rosin is darker and abit less yield than fresher bud but still minimum 15%.... and still works/tastes fantastic!
The basic steps I do;
1. remove big stems and pack bag with 7g, place closer to the front than the center of...
ok so the bags probably aren't the problem the only thing left it could be, #5 try different parchment (the parchment paper might have a chemical that leeches into your product?)
(all just guesses best of luck)
I'm just guessing that if the bag was made of an incorrect material and changed colour under a heated press that that bag would then actually be burning and while your making your squish it is transferring that burnt byproduct into your product :)
edit: #4 if 1-3 don't prove anything try a...

a few things to possibly pinpoint your problem
1. try pressing 1g bud naked (without any bag)
2. do your current bags change colour...
