Hi! Almost 2 months since you got your press. How are you liking it so far?

Which size press did you go for? The price looks great!

Nice, keep us posted how the Graveda press keeps up over the coming months. Looks like the easiest option atm in Europe for a prebuilt press.

That's how it starts........lolz. Next thing you know your buying tumblers and making thca. 😵

...has been around for a couple of years and it's a firm favourite of mine in terms of flavour. I've had it as flower, BHO, and hair straightener rosin, but yesterday's dabs were the most delicious yet. So this morning it was time for some serious fun! I pre heated the press and prepared a...

Any of you still using a hair straightener? If so, what is your technique?

Possibly. Back when I started pressing with a hair straightener I did some experimenting with humidities. I found at a certain point you get a gooey mess. At not quite that bad you do increase yields but you get harsh vapor. As far as smoothness, everything else being equal, My smoothest rosin...

First figure out what temp the straightener gives. Use a meat thermometer. Get a quick grip clamp, vise or even just some bloody 2x4s/metal rod/anything on a fulcrum point. Something to apply more pressure that's a little more advanced than standing on it. Hit up a thrift store for more...

When I used to do hair straightener method, some buds wouldnt return at all. How full of crystals does it look? Make sure any nugs are rock solid, and if not, see if you can squish them down to a tiny compressed ball. Obviously, some flower just wont stick together or become a solid tight ball...

Hemp buds? I squeeze cannatonic #4. Not great returns, but rosin. It helps to have 60% humidity to get the rosin moving, but you can't get blood out of a rock (hemp). And a hair straightener doesn't do great either.

Last night I tried the bloody hair straightener method with some CBD buds. I placed them in parchment paper and squished. I didn’t get any rosin at all. Then when I checked on the nug it was basically completely dried out and crunchy. What gives? I figured I would get some return at least.

I have way too much bud in my possession. Really looking at rosin pressing it to free up space with my mason jars. I want to do hair straightener method cause I don’t have money to buy a press. What would I place the bud into as I don’t have any of the rosin bags. Can I use cheese cloth or...

...to let it sit around too long so I don't usually press a lot at one time. My first press was a HashMasta Kut model. Made from a hair straightener and a clamp. Second was a T-Shirt press. Third was my Mick Jagger Rock and Roll Rosin Press. Fourth was my DabPress 3x7 caged kit Fifth was the...

I hear what your saying @LesPlenty, i dont intend to spend anymore money on the DIY route. (Except for a piece of pipe for a few £). To explain my situation, my other half takes a blind eye to my little hobby, kinda like a unspoken rule. I dont think a huge press would go down well. The DIY...

Down the rabbit hole we go, should have just put up with the hair straightener while saving for a Dabpress.:myday:

Thanks thats what i thought. I cancelled the order for the irwin clamp and went for the vice. The vice could be used with a slug.33 as well if the hair straightners dont work. So my plan. I have ordered some little wire connectors like this...

I used a Record (Pommy) 1 TON bench vise while saving for a Dabpress, I used 2 blocks of wood and just cranked by hand, no pipe helper, straight on my China Hair straightener, it would creak and groan under the pressure but never broke! My Irwin clamp was useless compared.:2c:

My 15 month cured pot lives at 62% humidity with Bovida, I don't think there was much moisture, some strains are just runny with a hair straightener and I hear some strains are just oily (I now get shatter consistency with the same buds on my Dabpress if I am too slow collecting it):) Once you...

Could you explain more about your comments about if 220F is too hot? And too much pressure? Because of blowouts? I'm just curious as to your reasoning. I don't think I've ever pressed that hot with my current set up. At least for a first press. But with more pressure (20T) I don't think you...

Great post brother! Kipozi and an Irwin Quickgrip! :whip: :cheers:
