Thanks! I’ve been getting a nice cookie dough consistency after a few days on several of the strains. Tasty and easy to scoop up. I’ve been mostly pressing 2-4g at a time. I haven’t tested any higher amounts yet, but I am planning on a 7g squish soon. I’ve seen some folks getting good results...

My results from the last week with the bj3t33. All presses timed around 3 minutes, give or take. Top: Bear Dance @190F, 18% first press plus another usable 3% 2nd press not pictured. Middle left: Sunny D @200F, 21% first press, negligible 2nd press Middle right: Chemdawg 91 @195F, 20% first...

I really like old school glass. I lived in Eugene, OR in the 90’s when heady glass was really starting to take off so I was able to own and use a lot of glass from folks who are now pretty famous names. I had a JBD tube. Lots off stuff from the Snodgrass folks - although never personally owned a...

A lot comes down to personal preference. Also, some pieces work better with specific vapes/adapters than others. In general water can alter flavor. Some strains more than others. I notice after a few sessions the water definitely smells like terpenes. A lot of people also think flavor...

With edibles I don’t find much works other than riding it out. It is helpful to keep reminding yourself that you ingested cannabis and the effects will diminish within a few hours. I haven’t found CDB noticeably helpful. One of my worst experiences was with 1:1 edibles from the dispensary. I...

Great. That makes sense. I’m going to keep playing around with different positioning and will post more results. My last several presses have been averaging around 20% yield so I’m definitely getting very acceptable end results.

It’s not a bad hobby to have. Same reason I roast coffee. The experiments always end up with tasty byproducts. :lol:

I did another press to see if I could replicate the alignment issue. I again pressed 2.5 grams using the prepress and 2x4 bag trimmed down. The first press I situated the puck a bit closer to center away from the edge of the plates. Doing this the plates came down pretty even (see pic). I...

Sure. This was 2.5g flower pucked with the prepress and using a trimmed 2x4 bag ala bottle tech. The edge of the puck was maybe 1/8 inch from the front lips of the plate. This picture was taken at the tail end of the press and I’d say the jack was cranked fairly tight. I can take some more...

The dispensaries here have started selling CBN sprays for sleep. They are really overpriced so I haven’t been tempted yet. I will say I made edibles from year old BHO that was left at room temp in a jar. It darkened and the terp aroma had disappeared giving way to just a hashy smell. I assume...

I have noticed the plates coming down a little angled on the bag. Is this to be expected? Here is a pic:

How long are your presses at 165?

I usually love most citrus and berry flavors, but I have definitely gotten some that taste a little too much like cleaning products. One of the cultivators in my state is putting out a strain that is mega orange-y, but it comes off as artificial orange flavored medicine. blech... Also...

This particular herb had a Boveda 58 added to it about 24 hours prior to the press. I am going to buy a hygrometer and some 62% humidity packs to rule out any humidity issues, but the herb didn't feel dried out and actually felt pretty "squishy" prior the press. I am curious to see some lab...

I have a new dabpress press and put it through its paces this weekend. I was curious how much the rosin ended up costing to press. I am in an MMJ only state with pretty expensive pricing and no home cultivation so that makes it an expensive endeavor from the start. However, I found a...

Right on. I’ll just go ahead and order some 62’s. More versatile that way.

I threw a Boveda 58 in with the herb Thursday night, but I don’t have a hygrometer yet. I am also going to order some higher humidity Bovedas. So your experience is that the 65’s were too high?

I got a chance to get a couple first presses in. I started with two 3.5g presses of some cheap Bubblegum popcorn I bought from the dispensary to use for experimenting. Both in 160 micron bags bottle tek style and went for 3 minutes. One at 190F and one at 200F. I ended up getting 12% on the...

Thanks! Nice video. I probably won’t be able to play with it until this weekend, so I am currently plotting out my plan of attack.

After breaking enough flat irons, I decided to dive in with a proper press. Ended up with the 3x3 3 ton all-in-one as I don’t see myself needing to press more than 5g a squish and need something I can stick in the closet when not in use. Honestly, I originally was looking at another company’s...
