Glue Guru's concentrates processing, let's learn together!

Hey hey, what's up amigos!
I'm gonna be getting into processing my grows a lot more so I can dab/vape rather than combust/smoke, so figured I'd start a thread in here to post what I'm up to etc. maybe it will help people out or maybe people can tell me how stupid I'm being and what mistakes I'm making with something
I've made my own bubble hash and shatter over the years with crappy gear/methods... but I'm gonna take it more seriously now and got in some new gear for my grow dropping in a week or two.

Got myself a set of 5 x 5gal full mesh bubble bags, a triangular 5gal full mesh washbag, 5gal washing machine (adapted the hose) and a 130g jacketed extraction column. Rosin press I will pick up next month as its a bit pricey and can't quite afford it yet going for a 5 ton with pressure gauge, should be more than enough for my needs
Feel free to post what you're up to or pics/vids of your gear/methods/results etc! I love concentrates and learning more about people's methods and tips n' tricks, I could talk about them for hours
Anyways I'll post some updates soon, won't be long now until I'm working with some fresh frozen Gorilla Cookies autos from Fastbuds
Check out my grow diary too if interested, cheers Happy growing everyone!

Old grower back in the game with some gorilla cookies autos

As the title says, old grower looking to get back into the game after a LONG break. I have really come to like Gorilla Glue and anything Gorilla related over the years, so I decided I'm gonna get back to it and grow some Gorilla Cookies autos from Fastbuds and see how I get on. I used to grow...

Ok so I finally got around to running some trim lol...
I used some of the dried trim after manicuring some buds so it was pretty good and frosty trim, and made shatter with it, was nice using the SS gear instead of a big glass tube with a hole at the end
I think I may have left the trim to dry too much and left me with darker colour but not too bothered it's still gonna get smoked either way haha
Vacuum purged and flipped a few times over 96 hours and pretty damn stable now, tossed some in the banger and smoked great, can't complain
I know not everyone is fond of butane extractions but I am leaning more into fresh frozen stuff and bubble hash runs for pressing soon and steering away from the butane, but until then it does the job nicely for me and I do purge it really well and keep everything super cold to hold back as much wax and fats etc so I'm happy enough for me to smoke it...
I also do everything outside to be as safe as I can and wear safety gear!

Also done a run with some fresh frozen and whipped up a nice batch of live resin then purged the hell out of it for a week, this is the end result, a lovely stinky stable badder very tasty
Not the best return but I didn't expect it to yield much with people saying 3-5% on fresh frozen, makes sense I guess with the weight difference wet/dry and space consumed, plus the tube is only 135g capacity.
Anyway here's a pic of the goodies!
