Rosin

[Bulls]

I've never done it matey. What's the price of the equipment if ordered from china?

Hey Marcus,

I realise this post is a little old, but I've had the Rosinbomb Rocket for two years and it's excellent. I got it from Namaste Vapes in the sales and used a discount code, which I think still works (let me know if you want that), so it cost me £377 instead of £499. I believe it was money well spent and looks like it's built to last. Gives about 20-30% yield depending on quality of bud and cure - if too dry it won't work very well - and the rosin is delicious. Before that I had the cheap Tarik rosin press, which was basically a modified hair straightener and a piece of junk, so sent it back. With that Tarik one I had to push down so hard it felt like the thing was going to break and yields were very poor.

I was going to DIY a rig, but it seems just as cheap to get one from China.

I vote DIY for the win.

China is cheap but also sometimes nasty (and by that I mean decent information especially when buying components - learnt this recently). Plus your be lucky to get anything shipped easily from China at the moment.

My wife loves rosin! She wants a press so so bad for her first harvest but I just can’t afford one. One income for the 4 of us sucks.

I was looking at the rosinbomb dude, it's tiny but looks like it's a real no faff press. £377 is still a bit steep but better than the 500 they want.

How much does it press? Is it just a nug at a time?

I've got a pre press that holds about 5g, but I found 3g worked best with the bottle tech on the dabpress. No bags needed either! Bags are too messy in my mind. I was getting 20% returns easy - dependent on strain though. SOme would just keep on givin on the squishin.

Still got all the pucks in a jar to make oil with too.

Yes, the Rosinbomb is hassle-free, very easy to use and hasn't given me any electric shocks, which is always a bonus.

It will only take one nug at a time - the plates are 8 x 7 cm.

I agree that bags are messy and unnecessary with flower, might be good for hash/kief, but never tried. I still have a packet of unused bags, as one was enough to put me off.

I have this little puck maker, which makes pucks about 3 x 3 cm and is great for pressing silver leaf/trim.

Old thread guys.

I ended up getting a 3 ton dabpress... It ended up giving me a 240v belt down my arm... It went back. Dabpress did offer to upgrade etc, but I was a bit off about the whole experience, I would ponder another off them though.

One of them.

I'd go 10 ton next time, bench press style like this...

With some plates like this...

But haven't the time of the inclination to get squishing again.

I've still got a fair bit of rosin left in the fridge.

P.S... I was thinking about getting a few sets of plates machined up and anodised here in the UK if anyone knows any machinists or metal workers?

Then I can build the controllers myself and make a few good quality kits up (no corners cut, decent PIDs etc).

That press from Screwfix looks good. How about a bench vice, could work, might be cheaper?

You won;t get the pressure with a bench vice, 3 ton was good... 10 ton would be better.!

I did have a little issue with the dabpress plates too. They were anodised, but not smooth. They had a coarse kinda texture to them and they did tear the parchment from time to time.

A nice 10 ton press and some smooth as silk plates would be a cracking set up. But I'm skint!

I do a lot of bubble hash and that sees me just as good as rosin.

Ah, thought as much about the pressure - was thinking a long pole on the handle for extra leverage, but it might break, or you might

I saw some guys on youtube using a vice, seemed like a lot of faff for poor yields.

The Rosinbomb plates have a mirror-like finish, but the parchment will split eventually if I keep applying pressure. I'm using Reynolds parchment, which seems OK, but the few that came with the Rosinbomb are much thicker and tougher. Any recommendations for a good, non-toxic parchment?

At least you have bubble hash, so life mustn't be too awful. I've never tried making concentrates that involve doing more than pushing a button, but maybe I should

no idea marcus sorry. I used the wifes straighteners once and they stank for months - I do not recommend trying this.
