OUCH!
I am pretty sure you mean
Parchment Paper. DO NOT USE WAX PAPER! And yes, a hair straightener iron will work to heat press. Binderdundat.
My suggestion to make a simple concentrate to vape is ethanol extraction. Much cheaper than a heat press. Filtering is the biggest issue. If using in vape carts, concentrate should be well filtered. I filter down to 1.5 micron.
I dont think rosin extracted with a heat press would even flow in a vape cart without thinning it. You would need a vape device designed for shatter or such.
I could be wrong, but even if you extracted with a heat press, you would still need to put it into a solution to properly filter it to make it suitable for a vape cart. The fine particulate would foul the vape cart.
I cant stress filtering enough. Very critical if you want to use the extract in a standard vape cart.
I am all-in making FSO extracted with ethanol for vaping. I started out with a
Source Turbo. It was great for small batches and I still use it now and then. I have since graduated to a 2L rotovap. Much faster and more suitable for my typical batch size. Yes, the rotovap came at an expense. But making my own personal medication is a hobbie for me as well. So the investment wasnt too painful.
