After getting my hands on fresh herbs I tried the Rosin-Tech again, with great success!
Here is my setup:
1x remington pearl straightener
1x sheet of brown backing parchment
1x jar with 2g frosty orange bud
1x small boveda 62% pack
I've broke the buds into 0.1g-0.2g chunks and put them in a jar with a small boveda 62% pack and stored it for 2 days just to stabilize the humidity variable.
Today I cut the parchment into 20 little pieces and set the remington to 160°C.
Folded a parchment once and put the herb in the middle and pressed fast and hard for 4 seconds with the iron, quickly removed the parchment afterwards and let the compressed herb slip out.
Repeated until all flat.
Scrape it all up with a knive and cooled the knive with the rosin in the fridge.
After 10 mins the rosin was rock solid and I could drop it as a whole on a clean parchment.
first press: 2g input = 0.16g clean and lightly colored rosin
second press: already pressed nugs as input = 0.07g clean and lightly colored rosin
third press: same nugs again but now with 180°C on the iron = 0.12 clean and sticky dark rosin
only vaped the rosin of a first press 0.1g nug in the crafty on 210°C and liked it. was slightly harder hitting then vaping the bud but shorter in duration, instead of feeling the high for 2hours it was gone after 1hour.
now i got 3 different presses to compare and 1.6g of flat buds, nice times ahead
before I give it another try I need to replace the knive to collect the rosin and get a nice container for the rosin. Also I wonder if I need to replace the baking parchment with the white standard parchment, any idea if this is a difference?
So far a very easy method if you can bring the patience to handle the sticky stuff, awesome!
Edit: vaped a 3 times pressed bud and still felt effects from it, curious if these was the pressed herb or leftovers in the oilpad...
