So in this thread were going to ben in my Laboratory or as a call it my Dabratory because it started with making dab. So im going to keep all my extracts and Rosin pressing info And Rosin cart making info all here As well as making tinctures, gummies, canna butter. Well i bought a Rosin press a Nugsmasher touch And have been learning to make Rosin. And at the same time learning how to make Rosin carts. I have some older flower and i noticed that older flower makes much much darker rosin. So i have some darker rosin hanging around. And wanted to practice making some more carts. But i have a few clients that like carts. So i made peach and watermellon last time for those guys. But the kits have a tiny glass syringe with blunt needle and if you want to make a lot of carts it is not very easy because its so small and cools off fast.
I like to use 760glass powerslug ejuice kits
they come with 4 refillable cartridges and all the stuff to make 4 carts. There herbal e-juice mix kit is great to learn a little.
And theres also terpene/ flavor thinning mix if you want to use either.
I like to only use Rosin and nothing else. I have tried the Ejmix and flavor terpens as well. I dont like the fake flavors. The powerslug Optix all glass carts are refillable! So i do a $5 cart credit return program for new carts when you bring back the old cart. I can take it apart and drop it into my ultra sonic cleaner filled with 99%iso and refill the glass carts.
So heres what i did today… I made 10 carts using some Berry Bomb Rosin i had laying around.
Heres the supplies i have and used.
- A mini oven for decarbing the rosin. I also can use the Rosin press and a decarbing capsule but its to small and there over priced! A glass jar and an oven works just fine.
- Small glass canning jar for decarbing the rosin and mixing in the Ejmix and terpenes.
- 8" silicon spatula.
- Heated Cart filling gun. I messed up and got way to big of a gun. I got a 50ml and i should have got the 25ml gun but the price was the same and returning it was a huge hassle.
So i turned the mini oven to 225f dropped 5g of rosin into the jar and screwed the lid on and just just a hair tight. Just turned the lids collar until i felt a little resistance and stopped. I put that in the oven.
Decarbed for 20 mins.
The cart gun was set initially to 110-114 but i found that 120f worked a little better the keep the rosin a little thinner and easier to inject into the carts. And if you over fill the cart which i did on a couple carts and it was easy to suck out using the gun.
I ran into an issue wherebthe carts were cold and the rosin was warm and when it hit the cold carts it slowed down And did not want to go into the carts. So i learned real quick i need heated everything. I have a heat plate and im gonna get an aluminum cart holder and set it on the heat plate with the decarbed rosin and loaded with the carts so all of it stays hotter and easier to deal with. Because i ended up having to use my mini heat gun to warm the carts up so the rosin would go into the carts While im making the carts up. The mini heat gun got all the bubbles out and made leveling the oil levels in the carts easy as the heat made them runnier and easier to deal with. The recipe i created for this run is as follows now im selling these carts so i did use the Ej mix and the flavor terps but i used very very little. They recommend (36) drops of Ej mix per gram of rosin which is crazy.
- 5g of decarbed rosin. 225f for 20 mins.
- 15 drops of Ejmix.
- 15 drops of pineapple express Terps thinning mix
This ratio yield is as follows
1g Rosin, 3 drops Ej mix, 3 drops terps = 2) .5ml carts.
So a 5gr+15dej+15dt= 10).5ml carts. So 5g rosin 15 drops ejmix 15 drops terps makes (10) .5ml carts or (5)5.1ml carts.
