Some of the off the shelf machines, e.g. dab press are very compact. Build your own tends to be bulkier. Takes me a few hours to press 20 g of rosin that lasts me a few weeks. Much less hassle and safer than bho or qwiso ime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slippy One Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Agreed, no solvents no problems or hazards. Try sifting the flower first if you don’t like the need of bubble bags, then press into rosin. Pressed sift is super clean and you will yield the most rosin. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't already have a mod and batteries and charger then it's almost a no brainer. I much prefer mod based atomisers (DT v5 is excellent for the money and decent TC) but a pen has its place. Very stealthy and if you loose it break it then no tears. Just bear in mind that any coil based atomiser is, imo, not as tasty as a bucket, primarily as you can't clean it as well. But apparently they are coming out with a bucket for the CK so .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindSoup Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 @M Pamplemousse yeah I've heard good things about the dtv5, get a lot of good reviews, personally I just want something super small and stealth for toking on dancefloors and smoking areas etc and the CK looks like it will be nice and durable and the bonus of being able to flip it upside down and run it though a 10mm rig means I can get away with one device, for all my electronic dabing needs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gb1 Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 (edited) 6 hours ago, M Pamplemousse said: ??? Can you clarify what you mean. I find rosin the tastiest of concentrates excepting live. It seems by saying 'even' that in general it is not tasty... What I mean with Some herb...rosin doesn't taste very good depending on how it was grown and how good it is and how old the herb is before you squish it...... Heat brings out all parts of the plant ,,,fats lipids ...etc where cold only brings out certain things. I can get good amounts of rosin off of certain plants that tastes like shit...... drying is part of it as well. Some plants that Id think would taste great,,,,,actually don't. .and the rosin isn't sappy . Nice gold color and tacky... first, second squish and diamonds made from same herb Edited March 23, 2022 by gb1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingo bingo Posted March 23, 2022 Author Share Posted March 23, 2022 What do folks do with the leftover material after pressing for ROSIN? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingo bingo Posted March 23, 2022 Author Share Posted March 23, 2022 Just had a quick look for the dab press - it seems to be only available (shipped from) outside the UK so I'm not keen if I have to pay import taxes etc post brexit. Stumbled upon devil press (.co.uk) while searching, they don't look as good but are cheaper too - anyone had experience with them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gb1 Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Making a press is cheaper by far.. The plates and electronics come pre wired now a day and all ya have to do is add a press and ....I used a 20 ton jack.. I had a freind make me up a small press at his shop...I added the rest, There is a thread by Arthur Mix on how to make one.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought you were implying that only occasionally is rosin tasty. I agree with your sentiments, esp wrt the actual grow and dry. Nice diamonds. Never made that.

Yeah, dab press never seem to be in stock. Gravita is another one. But I would build your own if you are committed to concentrate. I was unsure and it's a fair chunk of change, kit to make it, kit to consume it etc. But I've not regretted a penny. 50% of my consumption is now concentrate. If I could make just live rosin that would increase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the difference between rosin and live rosin? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M Pamplemousse Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 @dingo bingo Live rosin. You take the freshly cut herb and then wash. The live bubble is then pressed providing a different taste profile to the dried herb version. Generally rosin is made from the dried herb pressed directly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
