been using this... https://mynextvape.com.au/product/ltq-vapor-rosin-press-paper-50pcs/
but get it a coupla $$ cheaper at local vape shop.. been cutting them in half to use, as only squash 7g at a time..
@Dotts
I ended up using Armada baking paper from Woolworths. Seemd to do the trick.
ok, here are some results. Initially was alot of hit and miss, but am now getting better results.
First observation is that indoors yields better than outdoors. Same clones indoors and outdoors.
Outdoors gave about .3g per 5 gms whilst indoor gave .9g gms per 5 gms.
Second observation is that I love this rosin. Great terps and even stronger high. The terps you smell of the buds is the same taste/smell through the dab rig.
Third observation is that this shit is so sticky and really hard to work with. Need ISO to clean up.

Yes, I find it better than hash. The above squishes were from dried flower.
I did press some bubble hash. Mixed quality 70-160u.
10gm in, 5 gm out. The result reminds me of oil. Very solid when cold, super sticky and hard to work with when warm. No special taste in the dab rig.

Its rosin season. 
Cold as a Witches tit around here, so the flower rosin is kept out in the shed and is hard and brittle.
Easy to pick up a flake of it with tweezers and top my cones when needed. Like fish food.
Not into the dabbing anymore, too much fucking around.
Got some older bud and trim to bubble hash, and press and process into a couple of carts hopefully this weekend if I get time.
Love fucking around with the weed. Spewing I need to work for a living!

Has anyone got experience with the Rosineer range? We are thinking of stocking a bigger range, but aren't that familiar with them.

It took quite a few attempts and fuckups to get a decent result.
Pressed last night at 85C as against 120C and got better product. Lighter colored and looser rosin.
I also repressed 4 x bottle tek bags and got another 1gm. Bit darker in color and strange flavours as each puck was a different strain.
POTG by @Old fox pressed really well.

Yeah, i always put 4x post pressed in for one last almighty press! lol.. comes out real dark..taste good tho...
Good to know about POTG, got that in tent flowering now...
plan was to trim fan leaves, freeze, hash, press...
if ya looking for a press, i would recommend one with a pressure guage...
..didnt think i needed one, but one would be better to dial things in..
...nothing worse then spending all the time n effort in growing the thing,
to then fuk it up at the end...lol
it was abit hard in the beginning to get my head around
that a pound of flower would produce only 70 odd grams of rosin lol...
...potent and tasty az fuk but!
...ya dont need much to get ya ripped!

I second Dotts advice to buy a press with a pressure gauge. I don't have one and regret it. Future readers and shoppers take note!
Found this table. There is a sweet spot for pressure. So my purchase will include a pressure gauge which makes the dab press 2-3 times more expensive for a branded unit.
Cheers,
Snapper

Ya not wrong about the price difference between gauge vs no gauge...
I looked at retro fitting a gauge to my bottle jack...
It is doable...but a bit of a fuk around but...
...I do get a lil stiffy lookin at 15k nugsmasher pro onlyfans youtube vids!...

Ok that settles it. 650 psi for everything. But...
All the pressure guages are in tonnes. Then we do the calculations with tonnes (American or Aus?) compared to plate size which I think gives us the psi plate pressure.
Anyone know how to do that?
I just have a 10 tonne shop press, never been above 4.

Thanks for this advice. we just cancelled a potential purchase of presses and are looking at a new model instead.

I thought all presses had a gauge ... until mine arrived and I realized my mistake. It was too late at that point.
I'd say the gauge probably helps in two ways. First, repeatability. Once you find a good combination of time+pressure+temperature, you can keep making whatever it is you like. If you're supplying other people with rosin, consistency is probably important.
My second reason is probably applicable to some people more than others. I'd never seen/touched/vaped rosin when I bought my press. A leap of faith; my faith in cannabis one might say. I was hoping to follow knowledgeable rosin-makers recipes until I had some first-hand experience. I've still never vaped anyone else's, so my rosin is both the best and worst ever! Might be Michelin 3-star or Maccas, but it sure gets me high ...

This is why I love this community. Just saved $$ and time for both us and our customers, all by talking to the end user. Half our products are just us trying to solve grow problems.
So what presses are you getting ?
