Some rosineers also don't like the idea of silicone at all, so the thought of using parchment paper is out of the question.
FWIW I don't fall into that camp. I actually enjoy the convenience of parchment paper, but if collection is not your thing, driptech w/o parchment will get you most of the way there minus loss of yields stuck on the plates. Collecting a big glob is a lot more time friendly than potential flying bits and super sap stuck on parchment!
I would say this is definitely not the method for those who have a tight budget or supply, or even those who are pressing small loads like 3.5g or less. IME it's still TBD the optimal load size but I'm starting to think >7g. Once I get my workflow down I'll have a better idea. Only 3 drip tech pressess in so far with a lil over 3/4 oz buds.
It seems like squeezing two cylinder pucks of less 3.5g is helpful to maximize the yield, the rosin is releasing quickly more than the large amont loading.
I have to give DabPress great credit. I have a USA made press and its very, very nice..hard to make one better...but I can't see anybody in the USA touching DabPress' offering of quality and features for an unbeatable price.
I do have DabPresses cylindrical pre-press and its a very well made product for a lot less than others were asking for similar.
I just had to acknowledge the reality of the situation! haha
Cheers all
Thank you all, my FC friends.
You all teach/educate me on what is the presses and accessories rosineers would like to buy.
And what you concern about products.
@psychonaut teach me a lot
I am still working on improving and designing the good stuff for you.
Thank you for your order, and update the tracking info by email.
Have a nice day!
I did a lil squish for yall with 10g in 160u filter using 40mm pre-press mold, no parchment using drip tech on hr10t35v with the strongway pump. This was requested by
@Abysmal Vapor
I hope it helps, I will probably try this again but I think there is a benefit to the parchemtn perhaps in temperatures the rosin is making contact with, so I am starting to wonder about lowering the temps further as there is no "air" or paper insulation between the heated plate and the rosin clung inbetween the plates.
On the other hand the rosin does mostly leave the plates which is why I think parchment is probably still the best solution yield wise.
@Hackerman's method of cutting the paper close to the plates is a good idea but if you cut too close you'll have some rosin lipstick around the edges of the plates. After squishing, separate the rosin into two different grades, driptech grade and parchment grade. I have noticed with my driptech presses the rosin really seems to have more of that nose burn which I've always attributed to terpene content, or at least specific terpenes. Had some coughs too so folks if you're sensitive, just understand it may not be a benefit for you using drip tech.
Thank you
to take the video in such cold weather. you answer all quetsions rosineers concerned.
Thanks
@Baron23 appreciate your feedback! As you may not know, our new drip tech units are not very profitable for us but it's important to bring the products to the customers, and Roger had made a promise on the price before release and stress testing. The linear bearings that we ended up using for the steel rods were more expensive than the original ones we used so the margin on both of these units dropped a lot.
I am not sure if going forward new innovations will be as cheap but they will still be attractive. Roger's goal has always been to save rosineers money, and right now there is a focus on quality as that's always a concern when buying China made equipment.
Thank you
@psychonaut to tell turth.
About presses made in China or in other countries.
The most important is who listens to the rosineers carefully. I believe the best promotion is words by mouths. the base is quality,service, price and innovation.
...and an H-frame isn't really suited to drip tech!
I am sorry to answer you so late.
5.5x7" heated plates to be heated up with 4 heating rods, two thermocouples.
1,200 watts in total, but i only produce 30 sets, it is very hard to anodize
It starts offering within 15 days.
.
I look forward to your pressing and review!
Rosineers love the 40mm capacity for pressing. 2x 40mm filters with 10.5g each, 21g pressing each time on 3x5" plates. It's a great run using this mold for high capacity. 45mm still interests me a lot, I love the idea of 14g in a bottle tech filter.
Just trying to be healthy where able and only seem to have more questions now.
