That's @280 with hair iron and body pressure, 15% yield. Did an eighth run to see how it'd taste (amazing). I believe I'll get a whopping 20% with @Joel W. Plates I have coming in.
Here's a new parchment technique I've been trying out, really squirter from this purple princess I got the hookup on. Helped but like you said, leaked out a bit still @iDRINKBLEACH
Dont get a t shirt press for the same if not less you can get a small vice(you can find some more helpful then a shirt press for $30, glue in plates from @Joel W. ($100) and two cheap 60 w solder irons ($10-$15) each. Unless your recycling your chips (and who prefers edibles over dabs any who?) You're going to waste more money in loss of yields then you will save with a not so great setup. Thats just my opinion coming from my experience from a straightner and all 130 lbs of me to smashing bubble hash n hitting around 70% on my higher grades.
. Yes, this is one of the reasons I do not include the soldering irons. I just found out the other day and it's been on my mind ever since. I will be posting something soon to my thread.
Oh thats a bummer, I never need mine on longer then 30-45 I went 3 hours once and didnt need to turn it back on for a few.
I wasted a quarter pound trying to do this rosin-tech shit not once have I got a yield, I've tried every temp that people recommend from 100°-280° I've done the 1-3sec press the 3-5sec press some even say wait 20secs I dunno but it's honestly a waste of time, I'd rather just use my extractor and get 35-40% yield back than to do this and so far I've gotten all together maybe 2 taster dabs
haha I only kid
Yeah I don't have a clue like when I make my budder from my bud I don't both with trimmings unless it's edibles, but from doing rosin-tech I never get anything. With the same bud I get about 11-13g from my 30gram glass extractorSounds like your doing it wrong I'd have somewhere near an oz(most likely under). 40% yield bho you would have to be blasting kief? What's your tech ? How dry is this weed you've chipped up a qp of? How much do you weight? Im guessing your using body weight and a straightner? Have you tried a different strain with the same tech?
Edit*** if you only pulled a taster from all that. You can blast it still and get return. Or looking into the upcoming thread in portables the ELO uses chips of herb in its chamber to vape. You would be set for quite awhile
And the weed isn't dry I don't smoke dry stuff, well stupid dry weed obviously it's "dry weed" otherwise itd be a waste hahaha but I just don't get it. I usually use ether when I do my blasts
).
Can't wait to see this! My biggest issue is using a bud that is slightly too large for the 2" plates. I hate when I see a little bit of herb poking out of the roundbarFuck I forgot I have a new folding tek to impart to you guys that minimizes parchment damage at higher pressures and also ensures that your nug is kept inside your plates (even if using smaller 2" round plates like me
This tek has ensured for months that I get perfect squishes first time, every time! I am yet to need more than a second squish of the same 1g nug using this tek
Picture walkthrough to follow!
your tech sounds perfect! Thanks man
Just edited my above post to include my explanation broCan't wait to see this! My biggest issue is using a bud that is slightly too large for the 2" plates. I hate when I see a little bit of herb poking out of the roundbar
lol glad to have helped!
Now just remember not to accidentally finish the folding by rote and make a paper aeroplane instead out of your expensive parchment! 
Turning on the irons right now! That looks sweet. Can't wait to give it a go! Thank you for sharingJust edited my above post to include my explanation bro
Look forward to hearing your thoughts my friend, hope it works great for you!Turning on the irons right now! That looks sweet. Can't wait to give it a go! Thank you for sharing
Definitely bro, too far down, you want it to sit in the middle, and should shape the point at the end to prevent the nug from being able to sink to the bottom, this is the aim of the plane nose at the bottom@herbivore21 some busted out of the bottom. Maybe I shoved it down to far? I might double fold the bottom to make it thicker.
This bud is pretty airy like @iDRINKBLEACH is experiencing so maybe I'll pre squish it into a tighter ball before putting it in the parchment.
One more try for tonight
Glad to hear broSecond try was better! No blowout but a small corner did peek out of the roundbar (but that is just solved by getting the hang of placement or using slightly less).
Thanks for the more detailed info @herbivore21! Can't wait to try this again tomorrow night
Yup once you master pouch size and placement and nug placement inside the pouch you'll be consistently getting nice big squishes with no leaks or breaches of the parchment
