How is ur kief not green and full of contaminated plant matter? Or are we talking about a 1-2% yield type of deal where its only worth it for the head
you have to get it cold af and not kief for that long in a small micron bag. definitely gets green af if you go too long but the green kief you can just pack in a cls. it helps if you slightly dry it

Oh ur not even tumbling, litterly old school method? Dry ice in a bubble bag and shake for 2 min over one collection container then shake the rest in another?
nah I’m tumbling in a resinator. i just do it like 5-15 minutes for the best shit and collect that then keep going another hour for the rest of the thc that’ll be green then blast that. but a bubblebag would work. that’s how i started

Highly suggest sticking to 2 min for first fraction btw
I used to do this 3 years ago. And store the kief with moisture removing packets or molsieve beads. Wait 2 days then dry sift over stacked screens for ultimate seperation and perfect drysift u can take a microscope to and not go " oh lord what is that"

So, I think I have the general idea for the press.
But now I need to decide on plates. Not gonna lie, I see low temp plates and not that they’re crazy expensive, but seeing the dulytek plates at almost half the price have me tempted to go with them.
@SubstituteCreature def stated his reasons for going with them, but I’m still doing a double take with their prices compared to everyone else. Someone else convince me not to cheap out here lol.

yessir! dessicant or mol sieves can dry the rosin too and the water acts as a solvent kind of(i know thc doesn’t dissolve in water) to help it come out the bag easier
Hold on i have a much cheaper option, i thought mine were lowtemp but mine were def not that expensive and they are stainless. Oh nvm sorry i ended up making my own i forgot
yea lowtemp is just paying for the name brand. you can get same design but way cheaper
Heres stainless version that is cheaper then lowtemp and better imo. Stainless needs like 5 min startup time to heat and set temp. dont press in first 5 min or controller has a hard time understanding whats going on

and I’m definitely not confused of terminology for the record. all live extracts are made from fresh frozen so kief made from live material = live kief

Bye bye
If anyone is gonna be masturbating alone to anime porn on Christmas it’s that guy. No missed calls.
Roberto, it seems like you have a solid idea of what direction to go - I’m sure you will crush this bro

I would bet money most aluminum rosin plates with the same internal heating elements probably come from chinese manufacturers just like cls pieces. you could easily make your own cage or attatch the plates to that press you posted so you aren’t restricted on distance between plates
here’s some pics so you have a design reference

If ur gonna make ur own, Id go with the dual heat cart design instead of the single. Also have 4 points of reference for plate heat. Sometimes 1 doesnt represent both plates well enough. (2 in bottom plate and 2 in top plate)
Thats what i ended up doing. Got 2 SS pieces machined for me and bought the cart heaters that fit snug.
Use a multi sensor probe. Place the multi sensor probe and the rosin plate probe in the same hole and back fill with some putty or something that doesnt melt or smell when heated. Wait till all probes read the same and matches the rosin plate controller temp before pressing. Helps tremendously with a good squish.
Oh and i squish my plates together snug on warm up. To get them synced together

Thanks for all the tips fellas!
I’m gonna keep pushing for us rosin and bho boys to make peace lol. No reason to say one is better than the other imo. It’s all fire if done right.
Hope everyone’s Christmas is going well!

hell yea how much did this cost? I’m sure way less than a lowtemp. and is it possible to do long ass plates like 3ft long that i could put a 2’6"x3" rosin bag and press like a 1/2lb at a time?? (1/2lb is a guess) @Thetetraguy
