Dap Pen, a huge success for the money!
My KK Mints rosin can now be touched after 24hrs it's no longer gue, I was able to squish between my fingers and mix it up, it's totally changed during the 24hr cure.
So I just tried a rice sized piece in the dab pen, whoa, 3 big pulls and a couple more little ones. I'm ripped. Was on setting 3, bit hot but no coughs on the KK

have you had success like this with med buds?

After curing for 24hrs:
GMO was nearly shatter like, well it's cured into a solid lump of shatter, will need a jack hammer!
Zour Apples with such a low runny yield, is still runny not really changed.
KK mints has gone from a amber messy sticky gue into a maluable lump, so just squished it, mixed it up and put back to cure more.
Bubble bath, has firmed up a bit but sticks to fingers.

I'm going to cure for another 24hrs, minus a few sneeky dabs.

I got my stuff from the press to a nice squidgy black type consistency after being solid and brittle at first.

I can get some quite golden/amber at lower temps, people usually post in the details what temp and pressure etc. There are also sites dedicated to sharing yield knowledge, mostly though these guys are running the bud through the ice-o-lator process to make bubble then pressing that, so you will see what % return they got based on dry weight, then what percent return they got from pressing the bubble.

I've seen some plants that have washed as low as 3% so net yield was like 2.5%. If somebodys isn't already doing it there needs to be a database of returns based on pressing as flower, washing then pressing, BHO extraction etc. You don't really notice with what they sell us, but there are different trichome "types", you'll have to excuse my clumsy wording but fresh cured bud can have trichomes that feel sandy, other strains they are all tacky like a glue, others feel oily and almost grease like. I'm almost certain there is a relationship between this and which extraction method is best....

If anyone is willing to fund me I have some spare time on my hands and a scarey ass estimate from the dentist today How'd we go from 2k to 10k in 30 minutes

Impressive restraint, does leaving it on the paper overnight count as curing, it's about the best I manage, I'll have to get brave and risk sacrificing my next bubble run to the press, I'm always scared that I'll screw it up and turn 5g+ of full melt into a compact block of hash (now that I've typed it, it doesn't seem like the worse case scenario is all that bad )

Just made Shatter, 2g of strawberry glue, after one press 0.2 back, I'm sure there's a little more to be extracted. My first shatter and it turned out first attempt phew

I've Finally sorted the Temp settings on the press, I can set it all up no problem. Process of elimination thanks to the back to front upside down instructions, How long has everyone been pressing for on average? I know different flower and dry/freshness comes into the equation with pressing times.

Just over a minute each time but pressing each one at least three times in total.

I was reading last night and it can be between 3-7minutes different vids I was watching. Because I couldn't set my temps eg if I was aiming for 110°c I would throw my bag in at 90° for a pre-heat, once it reached 110°c I was having to swith the power off because it wanted to carry on heating up . I was only pressing for less than a minute and couldn't understand why I was getting the same return on my first press 0.2 , then I'd re-press again going through the same process . Glad I've got the temp settings sorted out, phew.

Spinning plates and the first time I turned this on it was the same and zooming past 180 to 300 so I turned it off then try to time it right .Then I sussed the temps and have settled at 186 at the moment but still treacle where as I want a more waxy texture.

Most med bud is not going to give us the wax, it's too old and irradiated. Our only chance is the pavement s1 which is fresh and not irradiated. This is what I have read on other forums. But dark treacle if it works is okay ish.

I was doing 30 secs pre heat pressure, 30 secs more pressure, then 30 secs full pressure. But I forgot to re press! My product looked little different between 170 to 220, but more yield higher, but probably lower strength.

I've just done a press at 110 with 1g for 3mins then repressed at 120 for just over a minute and got 20% return on Gamma irradiated. I'd say that was bang on return. I've got this sussed

Centigrade temps

110c is 230f. That is very high temp, as flower is meant to be 180 to 220 max in c that is 82c to 104c. Higher than 220f or 104c will kill all the terpenes.

Your yield is high owing to extreme temps, you will have lost a lot of quality from what all the sites say.

, I have been trying to get 20%+ back with irradiated and the only way is to take it over 104°c, that's why my temps were right up to get 20%+ back. At 98°c I'm getting 17% back with irradiated maybe 18% back which is good with 22%THC irradiated. Yeah I'm finding it difficult to get 20% or plus back within ranges. My mate said he's got a jar full of small buds, full of trichs, so I'm going to see what I get back from some of this street stuff and see what difference it makes for returns. I'm really getting into this now

I'll have a look at this later. I've worked it out now properly from written down jumbled stuff I'm actually getting 17.5-19% back with non/irradiated. Obviously the higher end is the Non irradiated flower. I'm definitely getting there with everything now, I've battered my head a few times with numbers and figures, I'm finding it better/easier to write things down rather than trying to remember everything.
