Hey bud I got this Nug Smasher OG like brand new on Facebook for 300 last week.this is considered a manual press. I am learning the bottle tech method. I have pressed a few batches and I will be doing more over the weekend. I am cheap and there is a lot of units lightly used on social media. Press works great itās 12 ton so more than capable of pressing quality !!! I can recommend searching locally to you on social media my friend. Cheers !!!

So do you use fresh, fresh frozen or driy and cured buds.
I only used mine a couple times last year. I used freshly dried, ready to cure. My product came out very dark. And the overall quality was not what i expected. Did not get any additional effect from the vape vs my bong. Just more work for very little benefit, in my opinion.

So you guys think its not a good endeavor?
Personally I think you will try a few times, and give it up. So if that happens then yes a waste of money. I have made about 4 batches in three years. I did figure out where I went wrong and will be trying again but I donāt think I will ever be doing constant batches like I do Bubblehash.

Itās not difficult to get a product. It is however difficult to get a great product that you would want to smoke a lot of and yet get a good yield at the same time.

Itās not hard. Good quality fresh (within 2 weeks of the dry) can use a 160 micron bag, done bottle tech style. Average bud, or a bit older and drier, 120 micron, 90 micron for crap bud. Place it in a bag and bring moisture levels up to 64 or so before pressing. Dark is coming from old or dry bud. Fresh good bud will produce nice light product. Get a press, need help, i can steer you correctly

So much info and tutorials out thereā¦
It does seem intimidating to say the least lolā¦
Why does older or drier weed mess it up?

Terpeneās and plant material are older and drier and darker. Pressing is a simple process, just make sure you get a hydraulic press, not a manual one, and press bottle teck style. Older drier bud contaminates the press, making it dark and taste nasty.

I agree with all stated however if you enjoy a little bit of Rozen from time to time, the disco is very expensive and this way is very cost-effective and fresh. Lots of younger people these days prefer concentrates. You can make some lovely Rosen that tastes amazing. There is loss But Iām OK with that. I just press what I need when I want it. Cheers !!!

Ive been readingā¦ alotā¦ about pressesā¦ and they are saying hydraulic presses are lesser than the pneumatic pressesā¦ hydraulic need maintenance (oil ā¦ and oil leaks) where pneumatic do not run into this issueā¦ anyone concur?
