That's halfway mean!Ha... I was very tempted to comment on that.

From my research on the subject you get the best bang for your buck if you get a hydraulic/pneumatic H-frame shop press from a reputable brand(Baileigh, Dake Corp, or others)so i have read through every page of this thread as well as the @Twitch thread. what is the current general consensus concerning the pneumatic presses (6x8 dual heated platens) or similar? i would love to hear everyone's experiences with these. has anyone tried the machines that house dual pneumatic presses with 16x20 platens?
the only issue i see with these is the time to release.I like it to release quick and then get it cooled off asapI saw @chuck estevez throw up a pic of something like this. Are these just too low psi to yield efficiently?
Yup that's the one I'm leaning towards. With your budget I would say you could go with the 20t and some 5x3.5in plates. I did forget to mention that the numbers are for pressing flowers. Hash and kief will require less pressure but flowers produce the best results and efficiency for production. Next most efficient would be kief and then bubble.@chewberto that word is above my pay grade lol what exactly is the alchemy behind creating straight Anthocyanins?
@TerpCylia I appreciate the info you posted up. That is very informative. So the press with plates that sized that I was looking at will not get the job done. It would be nice to have that kind of size but I don't think the gigantic green monster you through up is in our budget. We can spend 1500-2000 bucks. So this is what you're looking at here?
The vulcanizers are definitely too low psi to work for flower. I'm not sure of what they are able to achieve but they are also more expensive than makes sense as well. It is worth looking into their specs though and learning from their technology.I saw @chuck estevez throw up a pic of something like this. Are these just too low psi to yield efficiently?
Nice! my main strain that I grow has given me straight purple squishes before when wet, but with too much water content to really get to scrape up and dab. the leaves and flowers are purple, so it makes sense a little. How do you do it? fresh/frozen/dry? temp? I've been thinking of squeezing out a nice little slab of golden rosin out of dry bud and then squeezing a wet nug next to it...hahaha, cheating I knowI'm currently Into dabbing straight Anthocyanins

These are great in theory but I've seen a lot of people having problems with the china made quick to market presses. And alot of people have been talking shit on http://www.rosintechproducts.com . Personally I like to use products that I can rely on and fix myself. Also, modular items such as the H-Frame presses are easier to replace the plates and other parts. If you buy one of these t-shirt presses and a piece fails you will have a much harder time replacing the parts ect.has anyone on here tried a unit like this? 6x8 plates. both heated. not gonna hit 1600 psi with plates that sized but seems like it could do something.

So yer say'n it's like try'n to get parts for the Batmobile.These are great in theory but I've seen a lot of people having problems with the china made quick to market presses.

From my experience flowers have the clearest and stinkiest results. My bubble is pretty good but once I pressed a flower I didn't find myself wanting to spend the time making bubble if I don't have too. I have kiefed ounces of nugs with dry ice and gotten the same quality of rosin if not better(just make sure to separate the first, second, and third amounts). This cut the production time by 70% or so. But even then the flower rosin is the closest to the original flavor(it tastes like the plant smells when it's in peak flower).Flowers produce the best results?

I am wondering about THC levels per gram in juxtaposition to the BHO and Co2 while using flowers to make rosin instead of hash. People who dab will be the final judge, but chem tests cost $100.00 a piece. I will try both and hope for the best. With my first pull using hippy hash at 30+ % I'm very encouraged.From my experience flowers have the clearest and stinkiest results.

There's cold in them thar hills! .....Nice chunk.View attachment 3585230 View attachment 3585231low temp kief presses ala brettmavrik ... love this shit
Yummm.... I need to get me some of that white stuff. Bret is the one I saw using the garlic press and he has been instrumental in spreading good information to the masses.View attachment 3585230 View attachment 3585231low temp kief presses ala brettmavrik ... love this shit
