SS D71 - 2 days before chop

First Extraction

Well, today I got my Nugsmasher Mini and have been putting it through the paces. First up was some Blackstrap. Had to do 215F for this one - think it's sitting at 58-60% in the grove bag and should probably be higher moisture content. Fairly dark but that may be residual pigment too. Didn't weigh it so no idea but probably .5-.75g out of 3.5g flower. The main point is that it's F-ing delicious and is consistent with the flower - still taste the cookie. Really stoked.

Update on Sour Stomper -

Trimmed out the SS yesterday - used the trim bowl for the entire harvest. Don't know what final weight was because I didn't bother with weighing it. I'm guessing 12-14 oz. dry.

Also, pressed some and got a nice yield/color. I am continually stoked with how the taste/terp profile on the rosin mirrors the flower so closely. This SS smelled very OG Kush to me - earthy, funky, skunky. Maybe a little citrus or something sharper in there too. The rosin picked all that up.

Wow, what a machine

I usually do some BHO runs but after seeing the nugsmasher on a few threads if has me really interested. How do you like it overall? Would you recommend it?

I am a total noob when it comes to pressing my own rosin and I have had it for only a couple of weeks, but so far so good. At $420 I think it offers value. I also had an issue (it turned out to be operator error) but got a live CS rep on the phone on a Saturday morning - which impressed me. I have been tracking reported heat values with an IR gun and they are pretty accurate. Also, portability was important to me so that limits the choices. So - I am pleased with my purchase at this point.

IMHO, YMMV, etc.

Yeah that's some good feedback for a company, surprised you got an actual person to help out so that's a bonus. I know a decent BHO setup costs about 600 or more depending so the nugsmasher as a solventless alternative is definitely a contender. Especially since you can just buy the kit for it and bags as needed.

Plus the mini seems better for people who don't want massive amounts of concentrate or have to deal with all the work when it comes to solvents. I know it takes me forever to use it all for a single bho run and a 3.5g run would leave my options open for testing strains and doing smaller runs for personal use without worrying it'll go bad before I can use it.

Anyways, appreciate the info as always!

Yes - I am able to run 3-4 presses an hour (not really pushing it either) usually when I'm doing other things - like trimming. So that's approx. 2-3 g of rosin which is plenty for me for a while. It's pretty efficient. I don't weigh my squishes so I don't know what the yields are exactly other than noting that it substantially increased using weed that was freshly dried as opposed to 30-60 days into cure.

FWIW, I put some 60-day cure flower into a jar with some humidity packs and raised it from 58% RH to 64% and the yields were noticeably better. Same color (a little dark due to that cultivar plus time) but the rosin was delicious.

It all melts my face off, so potency has not been an issue regardless of cultivar or time - but I have been pressing good cultivars (Blackstrap, Sour Stomper, NCH x SB)
