I didnt ask for weight, only return. If a press that cost a couple of hundred gives me 20-30% and the straighteners only gave 5% then I'd be saving the pennies. I still want to make one myself too! Side note - someone has made the pollen tumbler you can get on the search engine into a more easily produced 3D printed model.....Genius.

vince noir rock n roll star Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 surely that depends on how much you run through either method and the quality ,, i run an 1/8th through my vice ,others run1/8th or more through a press ..the results should be similar whichever method i use the press just allows more material to be pressed in one go whereas using a vice gonna take yer a good while ..spose it depends on if youre in a hurry ..also depends on whether you are using a bag to load the material ..temp and pressure would also be a factor .. this leads me back to ..how quick do you need to get rosin ? or is it just for ease of use to process lots of material as opposed to small batch for personal pleaasure .. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look for 'lightning pen'. I don't have one as happy with mod based buckets but might be an option for you. I can send a pm link if you can't find it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindSoup Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 I've been eyeing up that lightning pen, ive been really impressed with their Coil King AIO for the price but was a bit disappointed that they could never figure out how to make a bucket for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goodbloke Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 This sounds a good project for complimenting today's footy. I've got some hair straighteners & a vice somewhere around. Can anyone find the DIY link as I can't make out what is going on? @M PamplemousseI've loads of ecig 510 mods, any recommendations or general advice for a dab atty of some kind to suit? That Lightning does look spot on, but if the cost can be reduced with something that uses my mods, then that sounds even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recommend looking at the divine tribe dtv5 (RVS has them in stock). You might need to install artic fox for better temp management but Matt at RVS can help you out. The slightly cheaper sequoia is also good but I much prefer the dtv5. If money no object avs M22 is good but really needs to be paired with their own mod box to avoid the pita clip change/resistance variations. Dtv5 for the win imo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustybiff Posted January 14, 2023 Author Share Posted January 14, 2023 @Military Grade they're some lovely photos mate, lovely golden color! Mind if I ask what your technique is? I'm curious which temp setting to use as the minimum says 170C on the straighteners, max is 210. My gut is saying to use minimum, but for how long? @vince noir rock n roll star I see your point now to be fair, I assumed the return would be less with straighteners too actually.. Seeing the price of building a bigger press is the reason! Good to know the same results can be achieved.. @Goodbloke Have fun with the project bud, get some pics uploaded along the way! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BilgePump Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 (edited) If I remember at some point I'll dig out my sketchy DIY rosin press, scares the shit out of the Mrs so I'll do it when she's out It's an 18 inch square by 2inch thick block of teak with the guts from a cheap temp adjustable straightener attached, one fixed hot plate in the middle with the other "floating" (with another block of wood attached to the back) I've put "guides" on so the plates don't move under pressure. Either side of the plates are two cupboard handles. I stand one footed on the top plate , grab the handles and pull with all the force I can muster , pressing my entire bodyweight and then some onto the plates and it actually works a treat, all for less than 35 quid Edited January 14, 2023 by BilgePump 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
