@sickmanfraud I’ve heard a lot of praise for rosin lately too, although I haven’t picked any up myself yet. If you do want to get more into concentrates that seems to be the best way to go, especially for home concentrate makers.
There are some great (and expensive) presses out there, but if you want to try it out with a small investment and you can’t source rosin directly, Slug .33 or even a hair straightener can get the job done, but you won’t get as much out of your flower as you would with a more serious high pressure rosin press.
You can still vaporize or otherwise use the smashed flower though, so it’s not necessarily a waste if you can’t get full extraction. I think edibles may be the way to go there though.
Oh, and if you do Instagram stuff NewVape is giving away a nice one they make right now!
The FlowerPot is a great option and I don’t find it nearly as scary to be around as I expected* so I wouldn’t discount it based on that unless you have a lot of accidents and you know you can’t trust yourself with it, but the Ditanium’s a very similar concept and I trust
@stickstones ’s judgement on vaporizers so I’m sure it’s also a good alternative at an attractive price!
There are some things I like better about its design, and more things I like better about the FP’s design, but even if you picked up a Ditanium and considered moving to a FlowerPot someday (assuming you also saw advantages in the FP’s design), you should be in good shape the whole way.
* We have seen a few significant burn reports in the FP thread, but I’ve had it for more than a year now with no burns or other problems and most users are fine with it.
It’s not quite the same, but think about it like being around a candle. If you feel like you wouldn’t be safe, it’s not your best option. If you think you’d be safe working with a candle though, you should be okay with the FlowerPot or Ditanium.
