I felt like some blue cookies tonight...
Nice BZ, what is the temp and press time?

It was 7 grams, I didn’t weigh the results, but it’s the best squeeze yet! I love it when you change strains and it kicks ass for you!

That is what I am making is 7 gram pucks.
Are you just hand pressing, or like I am doing, using a fly vice?
Wonder if it makes a difference the amount of pressure and size you make the puck? I would think not.

I just pack it in the tube and press it by hand. It stay together enough to get it into the sleeve.

Shit, I remember getting San Antonio Mini Bricks, one pound very seeded Mexican, very compressed. $55 a pound when we would buy them 10 pound lot's, we would get a shit load of folks and we would all chip in. Some would buy a half most would buy a pound or two.

I bet you still get really f-ed up with it. But that is the point. Be careful kiddos. I am not responsible for vaping fermented pressed weed. Have fun too.
our brick weed int he 80s was acapulco gold. Man I got tired of it, but it was decent stuff.

We used to use a double album cover to get all the seeds out. Tons of them. Mexican schwagg was what we got. Bricks of schwagg. Horrible shit, but we smoked the heck out of it. It would’ve been decent pressed maybe.
I’m not even sure it would improve anything...- Thread starter

OK, So I did a little test. Press two 7 gram plugs, one was one inch, the second was 1/2 inch. I tried hand pressing the first one (1 inch) but could not get it small enough to get into my machine, so had to lightly squeeze the puck with my fly vice. The second (1/2 inch) was packed tight by the fly vice.
One Inch
1/2 inch
Top 1.143 grams, Bottom 1.012
This was not scientific, but this test showed the more compressed puck got 0.131 grams more out of the same press time. Only difference could the the pressure applies, no gauge on my 6 ton pump to get consistent pressure.

To many unknown variables at play here. I like where you where going with it though... You’ve inspired me to pack it tight next time.
