I love rosin.

A few rosins I've been dabbing on. TL: Superboof by Sno-Melts. TR: Spreez by Information Entropy. BL: Black Maple by Peachy. BR: Fire Water #106 by 710 Labs.

- Same, it looks so spreadable. Replace the peanut butter in a pb&j

- Completely understandable and reasonable

They look great, nice color too! Around here the more vivid oranges tend to be with resin, where rosin is usually more muted and/or lighter.

- I’m grateful for how fast the rosin scene has progressed around here. And I hear you, I’ve had my fair share of lighter rosins. Sometimes that seems to indicate more muted flavor, but not always!

  Yeah definitely. I appreciate the different colors, but it's not a great way to gauge quality.
  
  The rosin game has been pretty neat to watch evolve. We've got a pretty wide variety of rosin producers, so it's coming in all colors & textures too. Some of the fresh press is almost like shatter, cold cured can be really thick batter, some of it is really oily.. and the colors run the gamut from babyshit green to virgin snow to electric orange..

Maybe you can help me out. I think I always burn my rosin. The bottom of my mail always ends up black and then the taste goes way down and it doesn’t hit as hard.

Do you know what the best temperature I should set it to is?

- What exactly are you using to dab? Sounds like your banger is probably too hot. Rosin often needs lower temperatures compared to other concentrates like resin.
  
  My understanding is that ideal temp range changes depending on your piece and the concentrate used, anywhere from 350-500 F. Don’t go above 600 F.
  
  Here’s a few suggestions to experiment with:
  
  Heat the nail or banger until it's glowing slightly red, then let it cool down for around 60 seconds before taking your dab.
  
  Try a cold start dab. Put the rosin in the banger first, then heat it up until it starts to bubble slightly. Inhale, reheat as necessary
  
  Consider a thermometer of sorts, like a Dabrite

  I keep my rig at my desk, so I wanted to avoid using a torch.

  I use this at about 490 F
  
  Maybe that’s still too hot
  
  Maybe the fact that it holds that exact temperature for the whole session has something to do with it, now that I think about it.
