I like the sticker around the gauge! What kind of rosin bags did you get? Have you researched bottle tech in relation to the rosin bagging? Are you doing any pre pressing with a mold?

I was a little overwhelmed at first, curious if you got it all figured out or if my learning experience can be of help

Some bags came with the unit and some I bought of amzone 90mic, I've used both now once both bottle tech method. I bought a small press but its too fkin small, its going back. My rosin is pretty dark but it was 11 week stuff. I have a small plant I'm going to chop and freeze then press I may get a gram off it if lucky. I never set a timer for this poor girl, I didn't have the heart to chop her so I fluorescent and tent flipped her. Some days she'd get 8-9 hrs sitting in my shop the next day18 hrs in my tent and so on no feed other than dregs from my other plants.

My first press I used 4-5 grams the second 7-9 grams. I need a cooling plate I have sticky shit on my fingers , fking up and trying to dab it up warm but I got me some resin...lol and it taste great off a rolling paper as I heat up my new pen

Nice man. I hope it’s an easy downhill learning curve.

Look at you all gummed up and happy playing with the new toys.

Watching with great interest bud. Want to hear all about the good and the bad.

It does fuck your tolerance for sure, haven't done a dab in a year, and i barley use the vape, only when traveling to family or something

I want to research how i can use rosin in edibles if possible

I haven't made any edibles in over a year... I need to get back in it, i really enjoyed making the hard candy

We’ve never done dabs properly. My son adds them to bong rips. I do what Bandit does and just butter the top of the vape capsule.


No idea where my son got it but it smells like a girls watermelon lip gloss.

Adding it to Sherbanger #22 or GG#4 really raises the bar. Also causes couch lock if you don’t get up and move.

I haven't got the pen thing right yet, I already lost 1 of the glass balls that is supposed to help heat the resin, tiny little things are supposed to sit in the quarts bowl and spin around while you draw on the pen. fkin gimmick My resin taste like hot knifing hash, a burnt tar taste. I've dropped some onto a rolling paper and smoked it that way and that makes it taste better but the papers run funny so its hard to smoke.

Ive seen amber resin come out of the presses with younger weed. I'm thinking 8 week stuff may have cleaner looking resin.I still haven't flipped my girls they must be 3 months old now maybe 4 I will dedicate 2 plants to resin production and I'll pull them early like 8 weeks, freeze then press them out.

Alls good the press works well I've watched a few Youtube clips on pressing so I'm not having problems gathering the resin other than needing a cold plate to put the hot parchment paper on..

Try different temps and press times.
IME that has more impact on taste and color.
I've gone as low as 186f.

I've seen vids on temp with 180f as a low temp for first press. I've pressed twice now, first was at 180f the next was 200f both looked about the same although I got a bit more from the second batch. I may press another load today and try an even higher temp, the last vid I saw they were pressing at 220f which is where the recommended temp on my machine is, or so say the directions.. All of my weed is 11+ weeks in flower not many clear trichs left at that point. I've heard something of fresh frozen weed then pressed for cleaner looking resin
