I collect it using a dab tool. Snap and pull. Then I grab it with the silicon pad and twist-pull onto the pad. You might want to wear gloves until you get it...it’s pretty sticky-icky.

If u have a hairstraightner, a foot, and some parchment paper u can do a press but u jus dnt get as much as a press. Atleast thts how it worked for me lol.I don't even have a press yet. You are inspiring me to get started!

Squishing is so much fun. Really it is.
When evaluating dab presses, what is it that determines the amount you can smash effectively? What is the minimum ton press you would need to smash 7gm-10gm at a time?
Hey GT, have you tried a making cob yet?Smashing good!

No need, here is one.Cob? Hummm, better get on Google!
@SlyTown420It’s probably the best question to be asked to date in this thread. I wish I could give you the definitive answer, but I cannot. 7-10gm at a time is a pretty decent squeeze in my book. Heck I do ~5gm at a time with a 20-ton press in an old barn.
However, I’ve seen some very good stuff come out of a 3-ton press, a 6-ton, a 10-ton, 11-ton, 12-ton...on and on. Like @Blazinjones mentioned I also started with a hair straightener and a hand clamp.
Here’s my take on it at the moment: it’s kinda like shopping for grow stuff (lights, tents, etc.) IMO. You go with whatever you can afford to save up for... If reliable transportation is all you need then you probably don’t buy the Mercedes when a Ford will do (even if we all secretly desire the BMW). Okay, not a great comparison, but you know what I’m getting at. There is a technique to squeezing with any press and you’ll quickly learn that. Go with what you can afford and build from there. I started growing with HPS and now have a room full of LEDs...oh wait, we were talking about presses...
It’s only money...doh!
* Edit: I’ve been thinking about this over a few rosin dabs...I’ve come up with the answer to world peace, but not which press is best...
Actually, one of the reasons I like separate plates is so they can be used on different presses. The plates I have on my 20-ton were originally on my 6-ton. So, having plates that can be moved to an upgraded press is my preference.
Boom!
