Gently flatten it a bit with your hands to make the press easier. Check to make sure the nug you've chosen will fit inside the parchment and the flat surface of the straightener. Be sure to use buds that are properly cured and not too wet or dry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 2: Add bud to rosin bag<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong>If you're using a rosin bag, place the plant material into it \u2014 nylon food-grade screens or mesh bags are recommended.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong> This step is optional for flower, but necessary for hash or dry sift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 3: Adjust press or straightener temperature<br><\/strong>Set the temperature on your hair straightener or press. Start with low temperatures \u2014 about 170\u00b0F \u2014 and work your way up. High temps are quick but can scorch the plant material and result in dark, runny rosin.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 4: Place flower between parchment paper<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong>Place your bag or loose flower between two pieces of parchment paper. Use only as much material as will fit under the heating element. Leave a couple of inches of extra parchment paper on all sides to catch the rosin. You don't want it to spill over onto the plates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 5: Press until sizzling<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong>Press the parchment paper with the preheated straightener for 4 - 30 seconds. The time you need to press depends on the quality of your flower, but release when you hear a sizzle.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pressing firmly, with the straightener laying flat like a stapler, will generally yield better results. This may take a few attempts to perfect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 6: Check oil<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong>After removing the flower from the parchment paper, check the amount of oil procured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 7: Repeat process<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong>You can reposition the nug on a clean spot on the paper or use fresh paper to press again. Repeat until there's no more new rosin coming out of the bud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 8: Collect rosin<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong>Once you have finished pressing, use a dabber to collect the rosin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 9: Store <br><\/strong>Package or store the rosin for later use \u2014 between parchment is fine if you plan to use it soon after. You can also turn it into <a href=\"https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/dictionary\/taffy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">rosin taffy<\/a> by stretching, pulling, and twisting it with the dabber until it's a taffy-like consistency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wm-article-table-of-contents-header\" id=\"whats-considered-a-good-yield\">\n\tWhat&#039;s considered a \u201cgood\u201d yield?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The goal of pressing rosin is to get all the cannabinoids and terpenes out of the trichome glands. Theoretically, if your cannabis has 18% cannabinoids and 2% terpenes, the yield you'd get from pressing one gram of flower would be 0.2 grams of rosin. Of course, a lot of factors contribute to the overall output as well as the quality of your rosin.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-block-image \">\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/102_Rosin-Tech_Kief-Press_396.jpg\" data-modal-open=\"lightbox_245\">\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/102_Rosin-Tech_Kief-Press_396-768x432.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/102_Rosin-Tech_Kief-Press_396.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/102_Rosin-Tech_Kief-Press_396-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/102_Rosin-Tech_Kief-Press_396-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/102_Rosin-Tech_Kief-Press_396-1024x576.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 768px) 476px, (min-width: 1218px) 772px, 100vw\" alt=\"The collection of rosin after it's been pressed.\" title=\"Click to see a larger version of the image\">\n\t\t\t<\/a><cite>Photo by: Gina Coleman\/Weedmaps<\/cite><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Collecting rosin after it's been pressed.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\t\t\t<div id=\"lightbox_245\" data-modal data-modal-hide-heading data-modal-manual-close hidden>\n\t\t\t\t<h2>Image lightbox<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/102_Rosin-Tech_Kief-Press_396-768x432.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/102_Rosin-Tech_Kief-Press_396.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/102_Rosin-Tech_Kief-Press_396-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/102_Rosin-Tech_Kief-Press_396-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/102_Rosin-Tech_Kief-Press_396-1024x576.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"100vw\" alt=\"The collection of rosin after it's been pressed.\">\n\t\t\t\t<button role=\"button\" class=\"a11y-modal__close-btn\" data-modal-close-btn>\n\t\t\t\t\t<svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"currentColor\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M13.414 12l4.293 4.293a1 1 0 01-1.414 1.414L12 13.414l-4.293 4.293a1 1 0 11-1.414-1.414L10.586 12 6.293 7.707a1 1 0 011.414-1.414L12 10.586l4.293-4.293a1 1 0 011.414 1.414L13.414 12z\"\/><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n<p>If you don't feel like you got everything out of your first run, you can always grab new parchment paper and press the cannabis again.

If you grow your own weed and want to easily convert it into concentrate for your own use, a small, commercially available press might be a great option. If you want to sell or give away concentrate, get a large commercially produced pneumatic or hydraulic press and compressor to go with it.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Is solventless important? <\/strong>If you're using solvent-free concentrates or knowing exactly what's in your concentrate is important to you, having your own press might be a good idea.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Do you like to tinker and experiment or just get down to dabbing? <\/strong>If you grow your own or have plenty of plant material and you like to experiment with yield, flavors, and quality, you would probably enjoy having a rosin press. Different strains react differently to the amount of pressure, time, and heat used in the pressing process. It will take some time to dial in the results you want. If that kind of experimentation appeals to you, a rosin press may be a good purchase.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-makes-a-good-rosin-press\">What makes a good rosin press?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sure, you could just rub some cured buds together between your hands until the sticky, black trichome goo creates something you could smoke or dab. (Congrats, you just made <a href=\"https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/products-and-how-to-consume\/charas\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">charas<\/a>.) Or you could keep your hands clean and use a bit of machinery to render glittery, <a href=\"https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/dictionary\/trichome\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">trichome-co<\/a>ated buds into translucent, golden-green rosin.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If you decide to shop for a rosin press, keep these things in mind:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Plate shape: <\/strong>Long, narrow plates provide good surface area while allowing the liquified terpenes and cannabinoids a quick escape from the pressure. Plates that are square or too big easily scorch the terpenes.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Even heat distribution: <\/strong>Look for a machine that delivers even heat across the plate surfaces. Plates should be constructed of aluminum \u2013 stainless steel has poor heat distribution. Lower-quality presses that don't heat evenly lead to low-quality rosin.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Machine power: <\/strong>Presses can have one of four means of providing the pressure to squeeze the plates together \u2013 manual, pneumatic, hydraulic, or electric (which can be a bit of a hybrid). Manual handheld presses are the starting point, best for pressing small amounts of bud or dry sift from the kief collector in the bottom of your grinder. Pneumatic and hydraulic presses both have their fans but the high-end professional models are mostly pneumatic since it provides more even power with less maintenance and upkeep. Finally, electric rosin presses are the newest on the market and may be best for DIYers looking to press higher quantities or boutique commercial operations. These use electricity, rather than a compressor, to operate hydraulic cylinders and they tend to be priced less than pneumatic or hydraulic presses.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Quality\/machine life: <\/strong>A quality machine will be designed to last years, and will be priced accordingly. Pay attention to the warranty that's included and search online for reviews.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Customer service: <\/strong>Online reviews can give you an idea of a company's customer service. You can also email them a question to see if they respond and how long it takes. If you can't even find contact information, that's a bad sign.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-the-cheapest-rosin-press\">What is the cheapest rosin press?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some would argue that a hair straightener and clamp of some sort is the cheapest option. But for actual rosin presses you can purchase, Walmart has a handheld model for $119.99 and a bigger tabletop model for $249.00<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Featured image by Gina Coleman<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you're unfamiliar with the rosin-making process, get ready for a cannabis DIY experience that could change your consumption life forever.
