Rosin press recommendations anyone?
Hello everyone, I’d really like to get a rosin press for making flower resin 7g at a time. There’s several sites selling them but I’d love to get a recommendation from someone who’s got some experience. My budget is up to £500 as an absolute max.

I’d also value any input into the process etc.

Stay awesome folks!

I have DabPress 10ton with gauge pump for many years, pressed a lot, no issues. Currently for sale, but sadly in EU

The DabPress stuff does look really good. Shame about Brexit otherwise I could be tempted to buy yours. I’d been looking at the stuff from Devil Press which also looks pretty good. Does one really need 10ton? I see quite a few with just 1ton…

The key is enough pressure for the area of the heated plates. So for flower you need to generate atleast 1200psi, and you need area for 2.5' diameter of the rosin bags (4g-20g, up to you how much you will fill it - pre press it everytime for better yield - without heat, ideal with mold)... Short story you need atleast 6-7ton press for pressing bag filled with atleast 4gs of buds. If you need to know something feel free to dm me, happy to help :)

I had before Qnubu, that smaller one (2-5ton? something like that) and the difference in yield and precise after DP 10T purchase was quite shocking. I pressed flower a lot and bubble hash. If you have a chance to test before buy, do it please. You will see the difference on your own :)

Wow just checked amazon is now flooded with budget rosin press machines that sits well within your budget.
I'd recommend you to get a 7-8 ton hydraulic rosin press (£250-450 on amazon) plus some micron bags and you're good to go. Only press the best buds for the best results.

Thanks pal! I’m a little wary of Amazon to be honest, so much cheap crap on there. I’ll be sure to read all the reviews first!

Amazon's the safest place to buy, they will refund you even for the smallest issues if there's any.
These hydraulic machines look well built with digital display/control. Strongly recommend you get one, at this price point I'd expect (without any research) most of these to be from china-alibaba. But that doesn't mean it won't last you. It's a simple machine that you can build yourself so not that much they can fck up.
A proper hydraulic rosin press like a nugsmasher etc would set you back a couple grand.
I'm actually tempted to get one for myself now lol

I had also been tempted to make my own as I have the required skillset and tools… but by the time I’ve sourced the heating plates, temperature control, thermometer etc it actually works out more expensive.

You can diy it cheap, I made one about 10 years ago. For the plates I bought 2x aluminium blocks for about 20-40 quid from ebay and 2x rex-c100 digital PID controllers with ssr under 20 quid find the right size cartridge mold heating element about 5 each. Plus harbrour press can go from 50 - 400.
You can put together a cheap diy press for around 150-500 easy
You'll need to drill the holes into the aluminium block, wire up everything.

All the mechanical stuff is easy for me, I could even make the arbour press itself if I wanted to… it’s the other electronic components that’ll require some learning. What you’ve written there has already helped me find what I need. Didn’t know what a PID controller was, I do now. Thanks man!

Dry herb vape?
Dude, get the Mighty + or the Crafty. Both are awesome. You can vape hash in them too if you get the capsules with the wee little Brillo pads in them…… + 3 more
