Alright so what the fuck am I doing wrong? This shit seems for the birds. I have damn good quality buds and can't get shit for return. And ease? Fuck that bubble bags, qwiso, bho all easier to me. Seriously just pressed out 3 grams for a little marble. Straightener it's 240-280 pressing for 3-5 seconds. Crap returns. Seriously crap. Like small speckles from every bud. Would be smarter to make a dab press vapor attachment that just presses and heats like knife hits through a glass piece. So far this pressing is not worth a fuck if you want yield. Have tried a couple different stains too. Only thing I can see this being good for is refining bubble and dry sieve.

I had same problem you might have to go higher temp and shorter press time..or press harder on a table. Lower temp only better for hash/sift
ill try this as well i need to get a quality straightener me and a buddy tried a few different ways looking for the best for our buds and best for hash to keep in mind for later

peace, love, and weed
happy gardening all!

I'll try higher temps today. Forget to mention I'm using hand seamers to press more too. Those vice grip clamps are a good idea. @Fancy420 are those jb welded or quick steel to the straightener pads? What kind of yields are you getting? Starting with flower or hash?

it is epoxy. which didn't hold. Final prototype has muffler glue on it. I am getting between 10-16% with flower, and usually over 55% with hash, but I press hash with a different tool. Just a plain straightener at 230 degrees.

the longer the cure the better the result. it doesn't work with all strains.


flower 10% - 20% return. hash 50%- 80% return

Yeah I'm seeing that hyroot. The Jamaican D and galaxy are money for pressing. I noticed on two others they would sizzle violently and could see vapors. Common sense says that's too hot to me. Correct right? Was running Yesterday at 320-340 with about 3 second press. What temps are you guys using for flower?
