Rosin Technique....Easy DIY Solventless

Just bought and tried some rosin for the first time today. I had a noob question on handling this stuff without losing terps. I picked up a gram of a local kush that was sold as a hard marble in a silicone jar. Rosin is the real deal as the flavor was excellent and a nice mellow kush high. I just didn't know the best way to mess with it to make it more easily to pull off a dab at a time. It was difficult to tear at this marble of rosin.
I was thinking of warming it somehow, then cutting it in half with my dabber and pressing half between two pieces of parchment, then refrigerating the rest for later. It takes me a long time to go through a gram of any concentrate. I use about a grain of rice each evening.

I just didn't want to make a mess and lose some of this good shit. Thanks

You could try heating your dabber to where it cuts into the rosin like butter, might be easier than always handling it. Glass jars do good as the rosin sticks to them, but you'll want a nice flat edged tool to scrape it clean when the time comes.

Otherwise, you could just take a square of parchment and grab the rosin with it in-between your fingers, then take the dabber and go in for your dose. Then after yer session you can use your dabber to transfer it off of the parchment back to it's container.

I agree with warming it with your hands in parchment paper. But I would shape it into a wafer to make breaking off a piece easier. You can roll it flat with a can of something, if not your fingers.

Anything worth doing, is worth overdoing.
Thanks everyone. I will try warming between two sheets of parchment using the warmth from my hands. Maybe then flatten it out, break half off and store it in glass in a cool place for later use. I like keeping it as a disc so the dabs can be broken off easily.

Typically, what are the THC levels in rosin?

While I enjoy it a lot, I am not feeling the punch I get from other extraction methods.

The levels are on par with other extracts.

Is it rosin you purchased or pressed yourself?
If you pressed it yourself, was the flower quality really good, or did you press it to see if it would turn into something better?

I was asking some of these same questions earlier on in this thread
most people said around 60-70% for flower rosin with high quality weed (bud can still depend on which strain was used)
and sometimes even higher with hash-rosin

I've heard hash rosin is more potent than flower rosin. I'd love to see the lab results, especially with the same starting material! I've looked around a bit and found nothing really recent. There are ways to make it more punchy. Can blend strains to widen the spectrum, can also work on thca isolation and spike your dabs with some crystals.

I'll say though I've become pretty accustomed to 0.3g flower bowls, and whatever size dabs seems to give me 3-4 solid rips off the nail, so based on what I am using every day I only ever really notice something like a distillate rip.

When I first got into rosin, I had a plethora of BHO meds all tested from a caregiver, most of them were 70-75% range, some as low as 60% and as high as 90%. Often times I thought the strongest ones weren't actually the strongest.

This 5 strain mix I am hitting in the mornings is nice. I got a high euphoria strain, orange hill special, I could always mix that in.

You know what, we all need a fu**ing potency profiler like the Sage Analytics Beacon in our lifes...man that would be so KILLER
i even begged them on IG and they told me I could get a used unit for about 15k instead of the original 23990$ price tage...I didn't even care to ask if that is with or without tax but I guess the latter :D :D

At the end of the day its just too stupid expensive but we do play in the lottery once in a while...so never say never ^^

Self pressed on the new dabpress setup!
Fantastic quality, assuming low-mid 20s THC % but I have no data... it is PUMPING out rosin yields over 30% on small 1g presses, and I'm gonna do some larger presses later with some that has been sitting with Boveda. I expect great returns!

So why doesn't someone have this in Canada, at least somewhere like Toronto? One could charge a small fee to bring in your sample and test it ... $24,000 / 1200 uses @ $20 each to pay for itself. So if you had 5 people a day use it, it would pay for itself in 6.5 months ... or <10 months if only counting business days. Wonder what the demand is? For that matter ... why doesn't every single major MoM have one of these? Then they could publish accurate specs! This would be a big selling point.

Is there a reason one of the major Head Shops in Toronto couldn't lease out the use of something like this on premise (ie. somewhere like Toronto Hemp Co?) One is allowed to carry up to 30g, and up to 6g of concentrate ... this would allow someone to walk to their local head shop and test what they grew ... and with everyone in Canada being allowed to grow 2 plants, and one being allowed to gift up to 30g of cannabis (or 6g of rosin) at a time, I would think the market for this would be significant in a major city no? One could even theoretically do testing, as I could mail someone 0.5g of cannabis as a "gift" and then they could test it. And personal possession is unlimited, it's just transportation that is limited, so even if you had 5000 people mail you 1g packages for testing, and you then had 5000g of cannabis on you that had been gifted to you, this would be perfectly legal ... as the only limit is you can't have more than 30g in public, there is no limit on possession at home.

Hell ... working under that premise maybe I should just buy one and start getting people to mail me their weed! :lol:

Are you getting over 30% yield from flower presses m8? Which cultivar is this?

.5g minimum sample, samples not returned....I think it's a solid start for a business model!

Guys!! my hose from the pump that connect at the manometer just started leaking at the part of the hose that is clamped on and not screwed on,

I tried sealing so far it keeps leaking thru!

Am I really going to need to buy a new pump!? xD

You should just be able to replace the hose, that's a bummer. Is it still under warranty? Something like this if it will fit.

yea well and i talked to the seller and they are procuring me a new pump i think (maybe just the hose if they can get away with that)

problem is that its going to take some time,
and as we all know we are going to need that christmas rosin ;D

havnt seen any stand alone hoses around here (europe),
So im thinking about just buying a fresh pump+hose with fastest delivery possible -.-

its a total bummer !!!!

As it just popped up, just for ANYONE´s information :

NEVER search a hose or any pressurized hydraulik system with bare hands for leaks, ALWAYS take at least a towel or safety gloves,
you can google "high pressure injection injury" what can happen !!

Try calling local hydraulic/heavy duty mechanic shops.

@JCat

The MoM's wouldn't buy it because they don't care. Black market testing has been available for years and no one bothers.

.... also most cbd flower I have seen which thc is under 0.3% has not more then 9 to 10 % cbd max, so the return would not be that much like pressing high thc flowers... the only cbd flowers with up to 20% cbd have more the 0.3% thc...

It is hard to find 20% CBD with under 0.3% THC but I've recently seen lab tests with several samples over 20% CBD and THC under the limit :)
So, would flowers tested at 20%+ CBD produce good yields of CBD rosin??
