Hey @Jared! Looking beautiful as always!Snuffalufagus Rosin - Some of the most tasty and potent I've tried yet.
Do you still make BHO or are you Rosin only now?
I think I'm going to be making the switch to Rosin soon. I would go buy a straightener, but I'll probably just wait for the d-nail press instead so I have something nice that I don't have to rig up on my own. Time is something I don't have a lot of anymore, unfortunately, so purchasing a ready to go Rosin press sounds perfect for me.
BHO just seems like too much work now after seeing how easy rosin is
and no 5 day purge necessary. Sounds like heaven to me

Thanks boss! I think I'll be heading that route soon enough as well.
Did you get anything from blasting the rosin chips?
Just wondering if the chips are worth keeping to blast. I would probably just decarb the wax (forget the slow low heat purge) and make some tasty edibles. But if the yield is <5% then idk if it would be worth it for me (unless I had a pound of chips haha).

Here was the post I made on it. Actually got a pretty decent yield but I also didn't have my smashing technique down at the time I don't think haha.

D-Nail press available for pre-order. $335 shipping included for the small one.

Edit: This is really tempting especially considering the price may skyrocket after this beta/pre-order special price is over with. D-Nail isn't really known for their affordability...

Small or large press?
Dammit dNail, Why couldn't you have made just one? lol
Decisions, decisions.

I'm getting one of these too
Probably the larger one but I'm gonna speak with the guy who made them and find out which will be best for my needs!P.s. all of you ordering a press should get an SiC dish while you're at it, if you wanna extract that tasty rosin, you sure as hell wanna dab on the tastiest nail surface out there lol

Haha right? Sometimes having choices is great but sometimes it sucks too.
Maybe @herbivore21 can help.
Does anyone know how many grams of bud can fit on the small 5"x5" press? What about the large 15"x15" press?
I may get the small one for now to see how I like it and then if it is too small I will get the large one when the new version is released.
I'll hold off on ordering until someone can give some insight on how much bud can be pressed on the two sizes.

I would guess that you could potentially press an 8th of nugs on the small press, I think a zip in one press might be possible on the larger one!
The only thing I wanna find out is whether there is less pressure from the hand pressing mechanism on the larger plates or whether they've found a way to account for the extra force needed. Otherwise the small press may get higher pressure and therefore allow less heat

Perfect thank you! I'm going to go with the small press. Going to order it right nowI would guess that you could potentially press an 8th of nugs on the small press, I think a zip in one press might be possible on the larger one!

I can't wait to say "Hey, you want a dab? It's fresh off the press". Haha

Since you'll get yours WAYYYYYY before me, you must make a covenant with me that you will share video of the press in action.Perfect thank you! I'm going to go with the small press. Going to order it right now

No problem! I will definitely be posting videos and asking tons of questions since I have never made Rosin ever haha.
I thought you were getting one soon?

Look forward to watching you learn to squoosh rosin on FC lol

My ignorance assumes everyone lives in the United States
I will share as much as possible as soon as it comes in! After it arrives, I will devote a full weekend to playing with it
I can't believe this thing is only $335 with free shipping. Seems like a steal compared to a $2,200 AI vac oven

I think that's a pretty good guess bro, I would not be surprised to learn that you are right on this one
I think the biggest benefit of this press is gonna come from the low temp-high pressure capabilities that we don't get so easily with our up until now jerry-rigged efforts. I look forward to finding out!

I think my excitement might be hard to beat! I only say that because I should have some home grown Skunk #1, Super Skunk, and White Diesel Haze to press right when I get the unit
Oh that raises a question that I think has been mentioned a while ago, but not in depth.
Can you press fresh material? or does it need to be dried/cured?
The consensus was that it doesn't work well with fresh material… Is that still true?

Depends on how moist the material is, I would give it a shot and see how you go with it with each different plant. Remember you can always use your vac (carefully, water boils a lot closer to decarb temps than other solvents) to get enough of the excess moisture out to make it not spatter.I think my excitement might be hard to beat!

Yeah that's what I was thinking too. Too much moisture probably won't work well just like how it doesn't with butane (I'm sure for different reasons, but same concept, too much moisture is bad when trying to remove resin from the material).
Great idea about the vac! I will definitely be playing around with some fresh popcorn material.
Thanks for the offer! I will definitely be asking for your assistance once I get the unit in

DAK if they charge your card right away when you do the pre-order, or do they wait until it ships?
Thanks!
Thanks!

I have a pending charge on my CC.
If it gets charged soon then I would say it would charge a debit card right away.
I'll let you know when it actually gets charged
