Top 5 best-selling Mini Portable Rosin Presses of 2021

Rosin extraction is safe and easy for both home and commercial growers because it doesn’t require any solvents with which to extract cannabinoids, nor does it require extensive safety measures as some other extraction methods do. But for rosin extraction to be most efficient – and produce the highest yield – professionally designed rosin presses are ideal. Today, best-selling Portable Rosin Presses can be found in almost any shape, size, form, and capacity. Here are some of our favorite rosin presses for both commercial and personal use.

How to operate the Rosin Press?

To produce good quality rosin, one must know how to operate the rosin press. There are three key elements when trying to produce Rosin.

Heat:

During the press, heat applied to the plant should be regulated to protect all cannabinoids and terpenes. High temperatures can burn these elements, ruining the rosin and producing a bland, tasteless yield. Therefore, it is ideal to produce rosin at the lowest possible temperature.

Pressure:

The heat applied to cannabis cannot be too high, so we increase the pressure to make up for it. With high pressures, good rosin can be produced without degrading the overall quality of the rosin. To measure how good a rosin press is, we observe its ability to provide high pressure enough to lower heat to a point where we can yield high-quality rosin without degradation.

Time:

Time is also an important factor along with heat and pressure. The time for which the cannabis is exposed to heat must be limited to retain the terpenes and avoid degradation as well.

Aside from the process itself, the user operating the press might have to make multiple attempts at extracting the rosin to understand what conditions give the best yield.

Wrapping Up

Rosin is becoming incredibly popular among stoners simply because it gives a pure and flavorful experience. The Jamaicans may have pioneered the rosin press, but now it is a global favorite.

Luckily, now you can get a pretty advanced and high-quality rosin press machine that has completely changed the game.

Even the best cheap rosin press would give you a way better yield than the good old hair straightener.

It is important to keep safety in mind, especially with a big and heavy rosin press. You are dealing with thousands of pounds of pressure. If you are new to extraction, make sure you start small and work your way up.
