Put simply, they are an essential part of rosin pressing, or removing the cannabinoid oils from the cannabis plant.
They are bags, similar in some ways to tea bags or coffee filters, that act as filters to keep plant material from getting into the oil that is removed. Rosin bags are typically made from nylon mesh that is sewed together to create a rectangular bag.
They can come in a variety of sizes and micron units, which measures how fine the grate in the bag is.
How to use a Rosin Micron Bag?
Rosin Micron Bags come flat in their packaging, and must be turned inside out, which will then resemble a pouch/pillow shape. At this point, you then take your desired material, break it down into a small form, fill the Micron bag and fold over the edge so none of your product will leave the bag during the press. You then place this bag within the rosin press, and compress the plates, once the plates compress, the heat from the plates and the pressure from the press then presses out all of the oils from the cannabis flower, through the holes in the Micron Bag and THATS IT! You have fresh rosin!
When packing a filter bag with flower, begin by placing whole buds into the opening of the bag and pushing them towards the ultrasonic-sealed edge of the bag. You can push the buds down with your finger or a narrow tool. We recommend using whole buds as opposed to grinding your material because the process of grinding will actually agitate the trichomes and some of these trichomes will get caught up in the grinder teeth, reducing your overall THC content.
Continue packing until you’ve filled your bag. The bag should feel full, but not tight or overpacked. If there is excess filterbag, cut off extra material with a scissor to avoid rosin getting absorbed in the bag.
Heating Times:
The best results for producing flower material rosin came from pressing at the range of 200-225 degrees F for about 30-35 seconds. Rosin pressers personally know their best results just from experimenting!
It is recommended to press around 160-180 degrees F for about 65-75 seconds. Our research found that this heat and time range produced the greatest yield and highest quality rosin.
Micron Size Matters
The micron size is all about starting material. The kind of starting material you use requires a specific bag.
As you can see from the image, the micron size refers to the size of the holes which the rosin will seep through.
For dryer buds, you want smaller holes to ensure less starting material in your end product.
For wetter buds, the holes are bigger because it’s less likely for the buds to move through.
