Same. I just ordered a rosin press because I’m setting a standard for myself to only do it June-October.
I don’t wanna mess with cold windy days on the east coast anymore. I only wanna do cls on nice days.
I like alcohol extractions as my alt to cls in the winters/cold springs but I wanna explore rosin since I’ve been messing with dry sift.

All I knew was 86°f for recovery and hot chases the cold when I came here.
I’ve gotten so much better and safer!!! since I’ve joined this site.

For your collection is that a 6x6 collection pot or is that just a 6x6 spool? If it’s just a 6x6 spool then get either a jacketed 6x6 or a regular 6x6 collection.
side note: don’t ever get a jacketed 6x12 collection or a 6x12 collection that has no splatter platter you’ll be trapped with something you can’t get the oil out of and 6x12 jacketed spools aren’t worth the money to be able to use a splatter splatter but also be able to use external warm water recovery
You can and should just get a 6x12 spool ( 6" x 12" Sanitary, 304 Stainless Steel, Tri Clamp Spool, BHO Extractor – Emerald Gold cheap one) from here and then get a flat bottom splatter platter off of killa (ebay link 6" Stainless Steel Shatter Platter for a Closed Loop Extractor 6" x 2" Splatter | eBay )
I assume the top injection port with the showerhead is on a 1.5"tc, So, you’d want a 1.5" to 3" for your top injection port with the shower head unless you want to upgrade to 3" but honestly you’re fine with that 1.5" tc injection port with the shower head you just need a hemispherical reducer like this Tri Clamp Hemispherical Bowl Reducers | ShopHFS
If you are going non jacketed on your collection which is a lot cheaper than jacketed, then take a Sterilite bin some fittings and a drill and make it able to be filled and emptied with warm water like a jacket and have a bucket 10ft away pumping water through the makeshift “jacket” or get creative keeping the warm water warm.
my 2 cents
I got a rosin press as well and I do etho. I am getting equipment to do better runs of Eth. I may totally walk away from BHO unless I get into a refinery position with proper safety equipment.
BHO where I am in the NE is not legal, protecting the population from themselves imho. I rather use the press or ethanol though the quality is still a work in progress
rosin always comes out with a green taste or resiny like I scraped the bowl. only a few times I got it to taste good.
Bho is easy, quick, and produces good results just so dangerous

I love bho and I don’t think I’ll ever give it up. I got good at it to save money so I wouldn’t have to buy from dispensaries. After a while, even though I don’t make money off of what I make, it pays for itself. Like 70-80/gr at a dispo of shatter or am I gonna safely learn to make a puddle… I’m gonna safely learn to make a puddle.
I got my source for trim and I got a good system that I built. Why would I ever wanna stop making my own medicine via cls ? As long as you’re safe and use high-pressure clamps all around, I really don’t think anyone gives a fuck.

I have some training and worked with BHO… I know I need to upgrade equipment and more mentoring on the process to help me get to that point. My buddy who is not around here any longer showed me and had a nice 1lb CL system. I have a dinky CL with no reclaim tank so all I can do RN is a hybrid soak and bleed off it’s a waste of gas. I am trying to see if i want a roto or a new CL from Killa. Currently, I am swapping the rest of my BHO CL to Eth for a fun test. I like one on one training in real-time maybe I can find someone now close to me. I only make it for myself my plan was to be able to grow enough to process to not have to buy from the robspenory. close to 70/80 gr and fart tasting black-market crap i rather smoke my eth extract.

How dinky we talking? You could just get a solvent tank off of killa if all you’re missing is a solvent tank.
its a 1.5in spool one is 6in one is 12 and 4in collection with splatter.
I love my roto to no end but if you’re doing a lb or more of material I think it’s a better investment to go cls.
Filtration is a bitch for eho and so is getting everything “just so”
Oh dude keep what you got and just dm killa for a solvent tank.
Could also ask him for a material column 3×24 or 3×36 is good enough for 1lb, reducers and clamps for said material column upgrade if you wanted.
I dont need a bigger collection like 6in? I’m worried that I wont have enough room for all the solvent needed
Wait how big is that collection is that a 4"
You need at least 6×12 total collection size for a safe 1lb material run.
ya my thought, I dont mind small batches though
I would just spend the money upgrading parts for your cls and then sell the parts you don’t use anymore in the classifieds and save for your roto after.

If I can be super honest my roto has been way more helpful doing large batches of rso than it has been eho. I mean I’ve made some pretty boss eho and wierd smokable oils but like… My closed loop hydrocarbon system has been easier to deal with in the long run.
