Glad to see you got your press and are enjoying it. I still have my manual Dulytek but also have the Nugsmasher basic model 12 ton hand pump, love them both.I can’t wait to press some of my jack
Frost this evening (cured 2months) and rehydrated so it should press a nicely. Report to come.
Report???I can’t wait to press some of my jack

So if you could only have 1 or the other which would it be buzzer?The new 7-ton Dulytek press is in! (on the left side..right is my Dulytek 6000 electric)
Here is an initial review that will appear on Leafly.com soon.
This little sucker rocks! I now have complete control as my electric is 3 tons of pressure period! (I still love that beast).

I do however, test their products from time to time>
==========================================
"This is a huge press in a tiny package! It only weighs 35lbs, but presses as well as my larger shop press in the garage! The press incorporates a power save mode that is fully settable by the user. The electronics package is superb, and accurate by any standard. Heating time of the large 2.5x6 inch plates is good for plates this size and heat distribution is very even. I have only pressed amounts up to 14 grams so far, but this is capable of pressing larger quantities. There is a built in timer that is activated by the press of a button. The unit is attractive enough to be kept inside the house with no objections from anyone here.
Jacking requires the normal amount of hand pressure, but the built in handle is perfect for keeping the press steady as you increase the jacking pressure. The frame of this SS press will become warm, but not hot after a pressing session. It is my understanding that the 7-ton bottle jack can be replaced easily by the user with a 5 or 7 ton jack, if needed.
Quality is excellent and the welds are very smooth and even. The package was unmarked (appreciated), and very heavy duty . There was a custom fit foam insert making sure all stayed in place. I was waiting for a good quality press at a reasonable price. THIS IS IT!!!! If you are looking for a press..don't even think about it..buy this one!"

No answer for that one..The electric for ease and the manual for customization (pressure)..I really like them both. Then there is the shop press out in the garage..So if you could only have 1 or the other which would it be buzzer?
Great!!Topped 100 presses tonight. Getting my yield up and consistent is all about figuring out each strain. No joke. It’s also amazing the different types of rosin you can pull depending on strain, grown indoors or out... etc. I have pulled everything from a wax to a liquid at this point, and really played with a real mix of private stock. I pressed 2 oz today ave 17-20% on early harvested, rehydrated outdoor from this season. The best yields I have seen so far have been from my most recently run blueberry kush. Just dried, not cured I pulled over 20%, and with less presses. I find with my outdoor, 4.5 gram pucks on their side presses once as since puck then repressing it 3 more times. But taking the material, splitting it in half then splitting it again onto them selves gives you two small pucks. I do this for all the presses aside from the first press now And it increased my yield significantly. I think the rectangler mold might be more ideal but with Xmas around the corner I’m feeling cheap.
Great!!
I pressed up some old crummy cooking hash yesterday..The rosin is sweet where that hash was too bitter to smoke..(I used the Manual 7 ton), and I like your idea about using 2 pucks and will try it today on my 6000.

RU pretty sure that you can't get a T-SHIRT HEAT PRESS in your country?
If not..maybe just buy some plates and a shop press. MY 10 ton cost 325 for the plates and 300 for the press itself. (like this)
I find that older bud presses better at higher temps (my bud us usually been in jars for 4-12 months.), but fresher bud presses well at temps between 185-195..remember..the calibration on our presses is such that it's doubtful that your 200d is the same as my 200d.You guys are pressing really hot. I never go over 199F(93C) or it tastes burnt to me. I prefer 176F(80C) decreases my yields by about 20% but the terps pop in vape juice. I'll press again at 199F on fresh paper to extract the full amount. I press a second time on new paper at 199F anyway.
Two more things that'll help maximise your yield and/or make extraction cleaner, easier, and faster. First, get 90 micron squish bags. You'll thank me once you've vaped without all that nasty grit in it. I can quish 7-10g of ground flowers in one 2"x4" squish bag on my 3.5"x3.5" press. Make sure you buy good quality nylon bags (not silk) and turn them inside-out before filling. It keeps the seams inside the bag so they don't collect unrecoverable rosin in them. Also make sure the open end is completely folded under. Press slowly or in small increments to avoid squish bag blowouts.

Second, fold your collection parchment to guide the flow out of the front.

I usually get 20-25% when pressed twice.

I'm using Raw parchment.
Hope this helps. I love my press & rosin made from it.
