All I find are for making infused oil for eating. I have a lot of flowers and it seems interesting to do.

Like vape juice?

You can get a press and squish your flowers into rosin. You can get a vape that the rosin can be put into directly, without making it into vape juice.
You can also dab the rosin directly or use PG and VG to mix with it to make vape juice.

You can also mix the rosin directly with Wax Liquidizor which will turn it into vape juice as well, then you don't need VG or PG. Just mix and add to a vape cart.

I just started getting into this, have only owned the press a couple weeks now.

Did you make that? Looks like it. That’s a lot of oil, wow. How much flower was that?

Yes I made that
12 grams of flower returned 2.38 grams, that would make about 2.5 vape carts with the Wax Liquidizor mixed 1:1

Want to mention that you can make edibles and other products with the rosin also.

If you are smoking or vaping the rosin or whatever you make it into then you don't need to decarb to activate it and get an effect.

If you're making edibles then the flower or rosin needs decarbed to have any effect.

The press opens up so many possibilities.
I'm going to start making bubble hash and then pressing the hash into rosin for an even more potent product.
Plus you don't have to trim your plants if making hash!

what temps do you press on? and how dry is your flower for pressing?
I've been pressing between 180 and 185.

I've pressed flower at 66%, 60%, and 53%

My best return so far was actually on the 53%

120-160 micron for 60% or higher
90-100 micron for dryer bud below 60%
If the bud is really dry or I'm using shake or really fine stuff like keif, I'll go to the 37 micron bag.
Different companies sell different micron sizes, these were the sizes Dabpress offers so I've only use the sizes they offer so far.

I'm looking into making some rosin. I have a bunch of popcorn buds I'd like to use. Don't think I could afford a press atm.

I heard you can use a straightening iron. Probably doesn't work too well.

Or bubble hash.

As in using a bag compared to not using a bag at all?
I've never tired without a bag, would think it would leave a lot of plant material in the rosin.

Unless your talking about if different bag size makes a difference?

I have pre press molds but I've only used them a couple times.
I get higher yield by packing the bag by hand and pressing them vertically, they call it bottletech style.

Hey brother! : ) dude check out cannafarmer420’s recent post of his press. It’s legit! He only uses the parchment paper. not saying either way is better or not. Just something to check out : ) ✌️I myself am going to try my hand at pre press molded in filter bags. was going to try 120mic?

Can you post the link? Couldn't find it under his recent activity. I've thought about trying it never looked much into it, I would be interested in seeing someone else's process before doing it myself.

I'm sure there's a way to do it without getting plant material in the rosin, unless the rosin is being used for something that the plant material doesn't matter.

There's another style called chottle tech, you don't fold the end of the bag and you cut off the other end so both ends are open but bag still surrounds the sides. Then you press with the bud against the parchment and the rosin comes out the sides through the filter.

As long as you're not trying to press shake or anything like that and as the bud isn't really dry then a 120 should do fine.
They sell 200" continuous rolls of filters, I think that's what I'm going to get next time I need some.
I just received a decarb/infuser machine so I'll be pressing a lot more!

I really don't like the prepress molds, I have a puck style and rectangular mold. Same bud, same bag size, same weight, temp, etc using bottletech style yielded way more.
Maybe I just suck at it lol
I'll experiment more with it but if you think about the physics and everything of it, makes sense that bottletech yields more because your putting all that pressure in a smaller spot then you are with a prepress mold.
Think of it like ice, you're laying down and your weight is distrubuted but then you stand up so the weight (pressure) is all in one spot (higher) and the ice cracks.

Prepresses might be good for hash.

Hahah I doubt you suck at it lol! I’ll show you what really sucking is after I get my setup! Im going to for sure have a blow out or two im sure. I watched a few videos and they pre press the SHIT of the flower they press. But really I have zero experience and very limited knowledge on the matter lol. If you have your process and it’s working for you I say keep on keeping on with that. I mean you do you and experiment : ) was thinking about starting or finding a “all about pressing” thread here on the farm! Just for this type of discussion! And knowledge and experience exchanging!

I see he just got it and is experimenting as well.
Maybe between the 3 of us we can find the perfect process lol

I just read a little about pressing without bags.
Prepress is apparently a must when not using the bags.
They talk about hash first then flower.

does anyone make BHO anymore? it's probably not for the novice (quite dangerous).

LOL! I think we could definitely figure something out for the greater good hahah! Im a few weeks out from getting my setup, taking this time to watch some videos and read the interweb! and im absolutely going to try my hand at the “hash” pressing also do to my having to process all the ganja so much do to seeds. so im turning that into a positive I guess hahaha.

It was the first concentrate I considered making during my first run! Made some years back with a friend (he knew what was up, where I just had the herb and was there) bomb ass stuff! But like you said it can be dangerous, so I opted out for pure brute force and no solvents for now! Hahaha! I do really want to give qwiso a try though!
