I got this press because it is hydraulic and pnuematic, but Im finding I have yet to touch the pnuematic side. Its not needed for rosin.

the Nugsmasher OG has a 12 ton bottle jack inside it. It makes a 3 gram pre pressed puck into a thin wafer. I’m not a fan of bags unless I’m pressing keif or something like that.

I was looking at the nugsmasher before I put my press together. I just went a different route for the $. Do you like that press?

I love it. My housemate told a friend I 2as looking at presses and his friend told him to tell me not to get a cheap one. My housemate also told me to swing for the fences and look for the best rated and backed and that he’d mirror me dollar for dollar on it. He doesn’t get into pressing he like me just doesn’t want to pay recreational weed store prices for rosin. Even though I would have pressed whatever he handed me if I’d have bought it by myself he just wanted access to the rosin upgrade on his flower.

so far (I’m right at one month’s pressing experience. But my favorite is keif rosin. From keif I harvested from trim in my keifbox. This stuff was heady as hell.

I’ve done a lot of research on presses a lot, the maximum pressure you’re going to need to do any concentrates that I have found is 1000 psi. I think it’s 400 to 600 for hash 500 to 700 for keef and something like 700 to 1000 psi for flower. So in reality you don’t need a very big press. That being said being someone who doesn’t leave anything to chance, I built an 8 ton for practice and then build a 12 ton pneumatic so I don’t have to pump it.

Simple rule: fire in fire out. The press is not a magician. It can only extract what exists to extract. Top shelf between 20 and 40% your highest percentages will come from full melt keif or full melt bubble hash. I’ve seen over 50% on thos
