Insert your filter bag full of cannabis flower, kief, or hash into the PurePressure pre-press mold. Close the lid, then push down on the top with all your weight. Take off the lid, and remove the filter bag. The cannabis flower, kief, or hash in the filter bag should now be flattened down and compact.

You can also cook edibles with rosin, which is very popular in the USA, Canada and other countries. In this case remember to decarboxylate the rosin before mixing it with your favorite recipe, to activate all the cannabinoids. If you like to smoke, the best thing to smoke rosin is bongs or crystal pipes, a good rosin dab will lift anyone’s spirits.

Once the temperature has been reached, we introduce the prepared envelope with the bud and the filter between the plates of the press, taking care not to burn ourselves.

Vaporizing rosin or smoking it in a dab offers you a very clean effect, then it will depend on the genetics used so that the potency is relaxing or stimulating, but it is certainly a much clearer and cleaner effect than rolling a rosin joint with tobacco. Use your rosin collection tool to scrape the rosin off the parchment paper, and store it as you please. Photography by Connor Fyfe Photography by Connor Fyfe Step 9 | Finished Product: To use directional flow, fold wax paper like an envelope around the kief or hash you’re pressing, so that the wax paper is folded on three sides and open on one side. This folding will direct the flow of rosin out the open side when pressing for easy collection. How many rosin dabs will I get?Normally, with a cured, well cultivated and resinous flower, there is usually a rosin return between 12% and 22% of the total weight of the flower. With kief you can get a return between 40% and 60%, it is a good way to clean the dry hash. The highest return on rosin is achieved by making live rosin, up to 80%, but of course, think that in this case the raw material is already a quality concentrate. If you’re hot pressing, you will get a larger yield, and while the terpenes will be less rich, you’ll still have a high terpene preservation rate. For a hot press, set the temperature between 190°F – 220°F and press for 45 seconds to three minutes. Hot-pressed rosin is normally more of an oily consistency. As with other extraction techniques, the return of the rosin depends on several factors. The first one is the quality of the raw material, if it is a bud with little resin it is impossible to achieve a great weight with our concentrate. The second factor is the temperature during the pressing process, the higher the temperature, the higher the return, but of poorer quality. Hair straightener, with a setting of 300°F or lower—higher temperatures can ruin terpenes and flavor

This is the most common way to make homemade rosin with flowers or buds, but there are other methods to achieve different textures and qualities, such as Live rosin The pressure time depends on the return, but as long as the resin continues to come out it is interesting to wait, as the quality of live rosin is impressive. This type of extract is also called rosin hash or bubble hash rosin. You can also safely and inexpensively make rosin at home in a few minutes with some ordinary household tools, mainly, a hair straightener. The process is similar, but changes raw material, pressure time, filters and temperature. In this case instead of dried buds we need Bubble hash made with the Fresh Frozen method, in other words, made with fresh frozen vegetable matter. BHO can give you a little more return and power than Rosin, but the danger of working with gas is a point against it. Purging BHO is a rather delicate subject and difficult to carry out correctly, since the balance between cleaning all the gas without removing the terpenes is not easy to achieve. The time it takes from when you make the BHO extraction until it can be consumed is much longer than that of the rosin.Manual—the most inexpensive type of rosin press, you have to use your hands and hold the pressure to get press rosin.
