You mean Im gonna need to buy MORE presses?
I thought this was all I will ever need??
Nobody ever told me you could get DPAS(?)!!
I probably should have said squish
To need another press at this point would mean that you struck it big time and your whole block is bringing you their buds for pressing

Quite a few of us are pretty sensitive to vapor here so the smoothness is a huge reason to squish.
Exactly, it's especially evident when you can vape a bowl of the same flowers you just pressed. I like a good flower rip now and then but rosin's my vape meds of choice for sure!
I haven’t taken any worthwhile videos as I have been pressing on my own in a rush! Pressed up close to three grams from 10-14g of sun grown and 5g of Mephisto MBAP. really beautiful and all done in 15 minutes. 2 x 7g works a treat.
@psychonaut I found I could collect the OG better this time as pressed at 230 on the PID rather than 220. I think I need a sheet of metal to freeze. Happy pressing everyone Organic dabs for the win
I know all too well what it's like to get behind on pressing, glad to see that double filter run helped you get back on track
What I've found is the older the buds, the more stable the rosin. This may not be hard and fast but I believe it to be mostly dependant on the terpenes left in the buds. Early pressing of flower that have just finished drying, maybe 1-2 days in the jar, will have a much runnier rosin, terpene content is much higher, and I assume there possibly could be extra moisture still within the stems.
So for me, as a rule of thumb, I am pressing newly dried/early cured buds with a higher temps, and older buds at lower temps. There is a point of diminishing return, but that seems to even out the consistancy. With the newly dried being the runniest and the longest cured being the most shattery.
Also, my higher temp presses never autobudder, just doesn't seem to happen. Maybe one in a blue moon will do it but mostly it's presses set at PID 190-200F with nugs 2+ months in cure.
First press off the bottle jack press! Pre-pressed 3.5g of some Orange something strain from the dispensary. New pre press mold worked great, it uses a PVC sheet on the bottom instead of the metal bottom piece from the previous version, I like this, it seems less wobbly when pre-pressing!
220F on the PID for 3 minutes, directional folding used for terpene preservation.
Nice squish! Did you run it without a filter? That rosin's color looks like what I've been pressing mosty
Fat colas
@Bunny 
Love the dabpress in the background
yeah this one was bag-less, but I'm gonna bag the next squish to compare!
