I would like to revisit the Rosin Press

[Vitreous]

Hi everyone,
There has been a lot of information videos posted on the web, pressing flowers with a hair straightener! lol. Since I switched over to HPS, I have an abundance of flowers that I can experiment with making oils, chocolates, even salad toppings!
So I recently invested in a legitimate heat press. Now I have done a tremendous amount of research and came to the conclusion, " the world of squishing flowers is still quite new", based on many readings and videos, people are all over the map when it comes to how HOT and how MUCH and how LONG when squishing.
So I know many readers may respond and say " your going to have to experiment to figure it all out. Yes a little, but there is science involved when it comes to heating and or cooking your buds. And we need to be careful with hotter temp, so we do not cook out the good stuff!
So I am hoping that if any readers have any information, please share with me, as I am creating a database, with those 3 factors plus. People I know love the DAB world, and I am going to provide for these needs, these dabbers believe its going to be a large tidal wave into the future.

No worries. I think it's to help people set their vaporizer temps depending on what they are and aren't after but got some great info.

So I did some temp, time and pressure testing. I have to say, people say this is the best dab material ever used. Super concentrate, beautiful golden honey color, great aroma.
For people with interest....Here is the formula I used...
1gm flower - 230*F - 15 sec hot prepress - 45 sec press under 2000 lb pressure plates.

buds I used was grown myself...4gm of White Cookies pressed almost a G in dab!
