Sorry but this has been debated already and it's two separate topics. (3 if you include outside toxins) So it's true, they are both irritants. First, the terps are bad for you in high concentrations and even create new compounds that vaping flower do not create. Low temp dabbing can help negate...

Some medical users will have issues with heavy wax medicine. IT's tougher on the lungs for sure.

pressing hash is a concentrate of a concentrate, so it'll be more potent and most likely cleaner. And yes, using a paper filter will clean up non filters rosin.

LOL no worries man, ask away. It's mostly rosin, so it's not the same as BHO/PHO, I think it would be more like .3 a day in that case, maybe even less. And again, if it's bubble rosin I'll use less than flower rosin. Also, I don't really touch flower anymore, I'm not fond of how much it brings...

I'm a sai guy too, waiting on the Quartz Quest to see how the v2 is. I'm sure I could curb my consumption to much less is I had too. Or wanted too :)

I'm at about .5-1g a day I think at this point. 12 grams lasts me 3 weeks. luckily I pay rock bottom prices.

agreed squared! I figured it was implied :)

it's not always about yield.

You've failed after 4 presses and you assume it'll outperform your 3x5 inch plates? At doing what, 1 gram at a time? heh

you will get less yield but much higher quality doing ice hash first. Less overall taste as well, I find any yield lost is also taste lost.

That's too bad man!! I thought hydraulic were stronger and more durable than pneumatic. At least at the pressures we are going. I think there are pneumatic over hydraulic jacks too which I'm looking for myself.

caged plates have 4 bars, one on each corner, and springs keeping the plates separated until the ram of the press comes down and closes them. The whole cage (plates and all) kit sits on the base and the ram comes down to it. Non caged plates have the top plate connected to the ram and the...

but even if it was on the outside of the lipid structure of the trichome maybe the water could wash it off? It's no different than washing off the plant material or say bug pee from pests.

I wonder if bubble hash process cleans it at all.

updates to some of these inline.

Ya I'm not a fan of the pike's peak at all. I meant longer tighter plates. HIs are almost the same as doing 3x5 plates the way he's pressing. He's getting 17 and 19% on cultivars I know should get more. And he's not even using the whole plate length. If he was he'd be down to 500 PSI.And that...

I do like the longer rectangle plates but they have a lot of dissadvantages. It requires more pressure to extract with them and they need really long or dual heaters per plate. On the pro side, they would be better for doing both flower and hash if you need to do both. This is why bottle tech...

So many posts to talk about!! 1. Yes, for flower in filters, bottle tech with round plates provides the best overall quality IMO. Both with the least amount of trichom and heat damage. Cage plates makes this difficult. 2. You'd still want square plates if doing hash or keif so you can do...

ahh ok I got you, and I think as long as you have closed the atomizer (or capped) or are already inhaling, those terps are becoming gas and you "should" be getting the benefits from them. As long as there is no where for them to escape they will be there, much like a closed loop distillation...

That's why the new Naid drivers have a special heat ramp up during the pull. So terps and compounds are all enjoyed :)
