Got me baked!
Bold statement, but probably true. 
I will be looking at a few CBD autos to try pressing too. Do a little mix of medical and recreational!!
That's fair enough. I was just wondering about return percentages. Although if you ain't weighing what goes in and what comes out, how are you gonna know when you've got it dialed into the sweet spot?Didn't weigh anything yet @JustDave. At this point, I'll be playing with it for a while and dialing the heat and pressure in. There are even air valves in the machine the adjust the plates on how fast they come together(slooooooow press together and real fast to let em apart to pull the parchment.) Weight on rosin is dependent on alot of factors, pressure, temps but most important, strain and trich production. What you put in, you get back. I think @Ronin will agree, that Fastbuds and anything Mephisto will probably get the best return, as their strains are trich coverage kings!
IF I was to sell my stuff, I would be weighing everything and doing some calculations, but I dont sell. I want to be clear, I dont really care about weights or yields(with wet/dry herb or concentrates) with anything canna. When a family member comes over to ask for weed, they simply get a bag with an eyeball on it. I bought this for not only the F*CKIN cool factor, but my hands cant even take ratcheting down a hand clamp on most days! I abused my hands early on in my career and have arthritis pretty bad in both. Some days, its even hard to pick up a tooth brush or write and I'm not that old!! But I still force myself to brush my teeth 3 times daily!
Pressing from a hair straightener for over a year and switching to this, already is having over twice the oil output with the press. I have squished DP blackberry kush enough times with a hair straightener, then with this and I will tell you, I get more than twice the amount of rosin out on a bud the same size, from the same batch! Thats enough for me, but if you want real numbers, give me a week or two and I'll scale up a few grams and get you the before and after weights. I can do that! I can even do a side by side with the hair straightener and the press for shits and giggles. I can and will do that, since you asked. The trick with getting the best return is heat dialed in from above and below and simply put, pressure. More pressure and you will get everything out. Even at 100 psi, this press could not get a whole lot out on a second pressing! 50 more psi will certainly guarantee a second pressing isn't needed. But I will still save the chips and make an oil out of em to to be sure!
I only do a single pressing and use the chips for making oil/butter.
OMG is that a Dinafem Dab pad??? Where did you get that from??? That's awesome!!!I like ethenol extracts but one day would like to order a bench top supercritical co2 extractor. .
Hope you all are having a wonderful weekend
