I have the 4 ton Dabpress model which was just updated for 2025. I am only using it to press hash and it has done a great job. No complaints what so ever, I do plan on pressing some flower with one of my next harvests. While I'm not using it every weekend, its gave me over 5 grams of amazing hash rosin. I paid around 0 US, hope this helps growmie!

@Hattiwatti, Not sure about that growmie 😂 I have two left hands, that's why I'm probably just going to retrofit a work bench for it, I was going for a max of 400€ for a 20 ton setup but that doesn't seem very realistic now that I'm looking around a bit more I reckon 500€ more or less, if I just replace the jack of my current setup with a 8 or 10 ton which is a tight fit it can be as low as 50 to 80€ depending on quality, I'll probably go for the workbench retrofit option as it gives me more of a surface to use bigger heating plates and enough space to use any jack from 5 to 30tons. Thanks for dropping by growmie 🙏♥️

If you’re growing, a Rosin press is almost an essential 😸👌

Thanks for the tip 🙏♥️ I just checked them out and they don't seem to deliver to Europe, Dulytec is the one that does, might go for the Chinese heating plates instead but I'll have to use two instead of one to get the surface I want.

Have you compared Dab Press if its available in EU.

@PersonalSmok3s, 5ton is also more than enough, I'm not going for extra pressure I just want to strain myself less and want to be able to press more at once and that's not possible with a run of the mile 5 or 10 ton press as the heating plates are usually as big as the press itself.

Decisions, decisions. I just picked up a new press, and because I'm lazy, I just bought a pre-made one. Only a small 4-ton version but it is good enough for me.

It's about not having to pump to hard to get the same result and I need a bigger surface so I don't have to do multiple runs, that's all actually. I also think a 4 or 5 ton is more than enough for the average user. Thanks for dropping by growmie 🙏❤️

Thank you growmie 🙏❤️ There is going to be a delay unfortunately, no money for now, so I guess the next update might take a while, I might just buy a jack for the current one I have until I get my first wage.

My target is pressing about 3/4 or at least half of my yield so anything between 75 g to 200g so that's the main reason I'm looking to build a bigger one, I'll have to wait a bit more though ($$$), in the meantime I'm probably just going to replace the jack to a 8 ton instead of the 5ton I have right now which is leaking oil anyways so it's time for a replacement. I can't buy American right now for more reasons than one, a shame actually... Thanks for dropping by 🙏♥️

Thanks friend, it's going to take a while though, I still need to get the cash so it's going to be at least a month before my next update and I might have to use pay pal credit if I want to make it in time for this harvest.

Ive contact them “ https://www.dabpress.com/products/small-rosin-heat-press-machine-starter-kits” I want to freeze the smaller buds and after a few harvests I want to combine them for their resin. At the other hand I’m also thinking about to make bubble hash. That will cost me almost nothing

Thanks for the link growmie 🙏♥️ What do you mean with freezing the buds? You can' press wet buds but it's a mess if that's what you meant, and the results ain't dabable so not full melt and it burns black and messes up the dab rig, you better let them dry a bit and then store them for later use how it's up to you, unless you mean live Rosin then in that case yes you freeze the buds for later use and once you are ready and have enough you make bubble hash from the fresh frozen buds, gather all the hash and then Press it, that's the correct way. Buds need to be dry to the point where the stem snaps but not completely to get the best results when pressing buds directly, so not all the way dry. ps you can still smoke the results from a wet press but it won't be quality.

Cool dude, I'll definitely be following 🤞 I'm getting a bit frustrated as my best option is from the US best reviews and all, it's a shame I can't count on them for the next 4 years, I'm still looking for alternatives, found another couple of options on Ali Express that I might look into a bit better.
