I just did my first press. No bag and household paper. Some white rhino bud my wife likes. It squished nice! I don't know how much I started with, maybe 5 or 8 grams, 190F 30 second warm touching press and worked pressure to max in 3 minutes and done. It looks like Ms Otter's getting her favorite later.

Take pictures next squeeze! We love the pictures here. Congrats on the first press!
I will. This one was metz a metz I'm sure. I'm waiting for some equipment to arrive to make pucks with and the right paper and bags.
Scroll back...posted a pic of the one I ordered.
Wooohooo!! Congrats. I agree with MG. Pics or we don't believe you. Haaa haaaa. Stoked for you Otter.
Got it thanks! Amazon's on the way with similar.
I know, I know, the phone was the last thing I could think of at the time! I was excited! We just hit the white rhino dab WOOOOHOOOOO all right! What a delight!
heres some pictures
u fill the mold with buds start with 10 -12 grams get use to putting puck in filter bag
then start making 17 gram puck little harder to get in bag.. im getting better results
by putting in more buds .. dont know when the bag or mold might break ill keep pushing the
limits.. u must have a big bench vise... the cylinder i got .. wont fit in vise .. dont use
the press for this those plates are soft.. and they dont open enough you want
atleast 4inches.. 3000psi
might point out i dont clean the plastic puck plates or the mold very often .. the pucks come out of the mold
much easier after much use... and thats a buy a 3000 psi vise or better.. i have no idea what kind of psi
im getting making the pucks but i bet its alot and the mold dosent close with big load in it .. 16th of and inch open
maybe bit more.. think its enough pressure that a tiny bit of gue comes on the plastic..

That sounds delicious! Congrats man. I was hoping to get a press done this evening. Other plans quickly changed that. Oh well...maybe tomorrow. I did just help my wife enjoy a dab of some high grade CBD budder. She came and asked me that she'd like some! HUGE step everyone. She needs to medicate with some THC but it will be a long road to find the right variety that suits her ailments and keeps her functional. It has to keep her from getting nauseous too. Certain cannabis aromas bring on the nausea. I know...sucks!
a few winters ago i came home after being out all day .. my filter turns off during day to save power..
i swear i thought the house was full of natural gas leak tears in my eyes..
maybe you should talk to you doctor... about all these ailments ..
sounds she needs delta's cookies
hey found trichromes day 17
this do si do i press tonight is very very tasty and strong ( might knock most people off there seat )
but so very tasty to at 550f
My better half has things like that too. Makes it difficult to get the right cultivar. She keeps trying! She scared me with the store bought shatter. Took a hit and went for the benadryl for a reaction she was having. I think it's something the shatter maker is adding to it for taste or something. I felt it a little too. My fresh squeeze had no negative effect on her or I.
Oh Man! I have a vise for that! Thanks for the lesson! Things will be here soon!might point out i dont clean the plastic puck plates or the mold very often .. the pucks come out of the mold

Oh man...that's a bit concerning! I'm grateful mine is mainly allergic to a common western medicine.
Yes, this is VERY common for companies to use terpene additive to give it a strain specific flavor. It depends on which one(s) they used but I would definitely be careful which concentrates you purchase. Mind sharing a pic of the packaging? Sometimes they add stabilizers to concentrates, similar to like the vape cart I recently made. Eventually I would like to get away from stabilizers completely and only use "pure" distillated terpenes only if I want to add flavor like the ones made by @PeakSupplyCo
Hehe, that's equally as negatory with western medicine.
I don't have the packaging to show you. It's from a place called Mission, I think they're all over the U.S.. We'll stick with squishing, there's lot's of terps there for us! Though I'd love to fill carts with natural too!
Indeed. Unfortunately the cannabis industry is full of dirty and greedy people/ business practices. It's up to us to educate the public on stuff like that. I'm ok with safe terpene and stabilizers personally.
Same here. I'd prefer a 100% concentrate cart from flowers I've grown. That's for sure my goal! Without the right equipment, that may be a bit of rough path to that goal.
Yeah to make it clean and viscus proper is not coming easy or cheap. Keeping my eyes open for opportunity but I'm not thinking It's going to be too soon.
Ok now, I had a chance to do another squish. This time with some Stankberry. My pre pressing tool didn't come or the bags or any paper so I just made my own path.
By taking a piece of 2 inch pvc pipe and making two wood plugs for ends and a large C clamp.
Filled the pipe with weed
Capped both ends and pre squeezed to form pucks, Wish it was 1 1/2 instead, oh well.
And placed it in the new rig
Ending up with a nice press, no drips though, an area of weed came out too. I folded it and pressed again for a little more
Sure was fun! 190f with 40 second touch warmup and a slow pump ending at 3 minutes
