Best $200.00 Rosen press?...Help.

I just got a gift for Xmas that made my day. Two hundred for a rosen press. Now I need help from the experts here on which $200.00 press is overall the best.

Honestly, it might be a lot to read, but my thread “choosing a rosin press” became somewhat of a great read to answer this question.

I wasnt expecting that but its pretty good, the first few pages answer pretty much any questions. Then it becomes a “how to press” thread but only flower rosin and dry sift.

Basically, you cant go wrong with any press they all have their perks. Theres diy too, used presses can be a bargain. I have the dabpress 12 ton with a gauge on the pump,m. Its great for making large amounts fast.

Theres all kinds of smaller presses that will work. All I do is flower rosin and smash 2 pounds at once at one point so I needed something like that. I press 20gs at once. If just looking for something to make some dabs $200 should do it.

Yea I just looked some up for $200 theres plenty you could buy brand new. Even with a decent pump setup instead of by hand. Anything will work thats the beauty of rosin just need heat and pressure.

I found a 10 ton for $260.00. If I am patient I can raise it. A buddy has an Across International 10 ton and might take $200.00 used he said.

If the plate size is the same...does a ten ton perform better than a 5 ton?

More tons will be ease of use when pumping especially small amounts. Larger amounts like four 2 inch bags at once instead of just one, will require extra power. When I do 4 bags I go up to 7.5 tons and about half way through starts to require more elbow grease.

Thats a good question, what if the plate sizes where different size but the tons the same? I guess one could just handle more material than the other.. The larger plates retain heat better I was told that much.

I tried to order a 10 ton Dsmsseym which looks good for the $260 price but they want $80.00 shipping and I'm too broke this week. I saw a Dabpress 4 for $225.00 in Ebay and it was gone before I could even look how to use ebay.

Don't get anything less than a 10 tonne.
Patience is a virtue. You might end up disappointed if you just jump the gun right away.
The bigger you plates the more pressure you will need
