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. 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.

Position the hair straightener around the cannabis material in the parchment paper, making sure all material is between the hot irons The amount of cannabis, kief, or hash you put into this bag depends on how much rosin you want to make. Using the Helix Pro, you can press up to 15 grams of flower, and 50+ grams of kief and bubble hash. Photography by Connor Fyfe Step 4 | Preparing The Rosin Press: When rosin is still hot it is difficult to remove it from the paper, so we recommend putting it in the freezer for a few minutes, this is the way to stabilize the rosin. Once it has cooled down it is easy to remove it with the help of a dab or similar, with the tip we separate a little bit of rosin carefully, it is the most difficult part, because then that rosin that you have in the tip of the dab helps you to remove the rest more easily. When pressing hash or kief into rosin, we recommend using a method called directional flow, or directional fold, which is a way of folding parchment paper when making rosin to get a clean, consistent press.Electric rosin presses are also very comfortable, as are the pneumatic ones. They do not require any effort, but they are not as powerful and are quite expensive. Rosin can be made and consumed in less than 5 minutes, it is better to let it rest, but if you want you can try it. Apart from speed, the safety of working with the press has nothing to do with using flammable gas. Rosin does not need to be purged, which makes the post-extraction process much easier. 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.

There are dozens of models of presses for making rosin, with different sizes, shapes and powers. You might think that the more tons of pressure the press can apply, the better, but this is not always the case, as 10 tons is more than enough.

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.

Manual—the most inexpensive type of rosin press, you have to use your hands and hold the pressure to get press rosin. Rosin technique is quite simple, you just have to heat the heat plates of the press until they reach a temperature of about 194º F (90º C). While they are heating up, we take a dry bud and introduce it into the filter, measuring between 73 and 190 microns, we take a piece of rosin paper and wrap everything up in a kind of envelope. Here comes the part we like best, the time to taste our extraction, and it can be done in many ways. Although it can be consumed as soon as it is taken out of the press, the ideal is to stabilize it and then leave it for a few days so that the concentrate “settles”before enjoying it. 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. Electric—easy to use and small, these presses plug into the wall and rely on electric power to press rosin.Either dab the rosin right away, or scrape it into a container, such as an airtight glass jar, for storage How To Make Rosin Using The Helix Rosin Press Photography by Connor Fyfe Step 1 | Preparing Your Micron Screen: We have also seen people gluing one part of the paper with rosin with other areas of the paper, so that as they are glued and removed, the extraction will come off and adhere to the part with more rosin. 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.
