New extraction technique? Rosin tech? - Page 14 - Cannabis Concentrates - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

If you can do it with kief, you can most likely do it with trim. I think that's a great idea to pre-press trim pucks.

I think 68% on kief is a great return. You want a pure product so obviously you can only get so much out of your beginning material, leaving the "contaminents" behind.

If it seems to hard to puck up trim, just dry ice kief it. Used to do that to save on the butane bill all the time back in the day doing open blasting. Might be more efficient that way too. You can rig up a blue 20 gallon bubble bag (i forget what micron they are, 240, 260?) To a sawz-all (reciprocating blade saw) hanging from a little frame, all standing over a large tote. Place di and trim in bag and use a string or re-useable zip tie to set the speed you want the bag to shake up and down at. You could can easily make 20 lbs of kief a day like this.

really nice outcome Guyute!
on that last bit i would suggest a nylon screen (i have in mind those sold with bubblebags) that should contain the contaminants while letting oils be pushed out, its non sticky so it should be easy to separate.
just my two cents never tried it.

I was just messing around a bit again and decided to roll the popcorn buds in the Keif. It worked way better getting the contaminants out and doubled the amount of rosin I was getting just smashing the buds.

I'm going to take the advice of pressing the keif first. Also going to take the advice of pressing trim pucks too.

I'll have to order some screen I only have one size of silk screen. Not sure what it is though says 43/110.80

noticed its like a sponge.. without the correct amount of pressure.. and heat.. your not going to get the yields you would expect lol.. .. the thing I don't like is.. ive noticed.. bho from a strain.. tastes way better then rosin to me atleast.. there is more flavor.. at a few diff temps..

Definitely agree about the taste. I've been playing around with 5 or so different strains at the lowest temp my iron can go (310°). None of the results have come close to the flavor of top shelf BHO. Today I made the tastiest rosin I've had from some tangerine kush, but even compared to vaping the flower, the flavor is very muted. It just doesn't fill your mouth with terpenes the same way a dab or vape hit does. I wonder if lower heat might be the trick.

Tang kush rosin

Oh CheeseFudge (shattery, but no taste)

Hmm seems like my Imgur hosted pics aren't showing up for some reason.

Here's a link to the album:

First off i started with making keif out of some trim from a mix of indoor plants.

starting material

and the Keif

I then weighed it up ( it was 2.5 before I snaped the pic so for easier math Im saying I started with 2.5 not 2.4)
View Image

set flat iron to 340 and stated pressing with both my hands as hard as i could. and ended up with this

not easy to tell from the pic but there was 3 distinct quality's i could see. the center had the dark dryer material that got tossed to the side. (it did have a lot of gooey texture to it, also I could visually see a bunch of the honey like material covering over the top so i decided to do a seconed run with it later.)

the seconed quality was very gooey and a nice golden color where it was thiker it looked a little like honeycombs. Made this

Wow that's great! Question, what do you use to get all that kief from the trim? That seemed like a pretty good return!

So far I like this tek, have played around a little bit with it since yesterday. The potency is outstanding, the flavor not so much. Definitely has less plant wax in it then most BHO which is nice.
