Plug & Play Straight Out of The Box

Comparable rosin presses require additional accessories such as an air compressor, that is not the case with the NugSmasher Original. Everything you need to begin pressing is included in the box - simply plug the device in, wait for it to heat up and you're ready to begin extracting beautifully pressed rosin.

Industry Leading, Safety First Circuit Protection

Premiere Manufacturing has gone above and beyond when it comes to safety and reliability for the NugSmasher Original. Included within the press is a methodically routed 3 sub-circuit and primary power circuit through only the highest quality, resettable circuit breakers. These circuit breakers are conveniently mounted on the machine's front panel for easy access, monitoring and resetting if need be.

Included within the NugSmasher Original are some of the most accurate and precise temperature controls on the market for a device of this caliber. Featuring an easy access interface on the front of the machine, you will be able to efficiently set your desired temperature and let your NugSmasher Original do the rest. 

Both plates are designed to quickly heat up and maintain consistent temperature across their surface areas during the entire extraction process.

Thermally Isolated Heat Plates

Much like its brethren the Mini, XP and Pro, the NugSmasher Original comes packed with top plates that are thermally isolated. This methodical design almost entirely does away with any unwanted heat transfer away from your pressing area. Not only does this save power by maintaining efficiency, but it also helps to keep the plates heated to your desired temperature in the most accurate way possible.

Solid Steel & Aircraft Grade Aluminum Construction

Despite its modest size, the NugSmasher Orginal is by far one of the most rugged rosin presses on the market, often described as "being built like a tank". Featuring solid interlocked USA sourced structural steel for the machine's frame and aircraft grade aluminum CNC machined in-house, it's no wonder each and every NugSmasher Original comes with a full, manufacturer backed lifetime warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Rosin? How is it made?

Rosin is a solventless extraction made through the mechanical process of applying heat and pressure to "press" out resin from cured flower or pollen. This process occurs near instantaneously and requires virtually no professional expertise in the field of botanical extractions. Rosin tech uses heat to melt the glandular domes of the trichomes off of the base material. This resin rich sap will then reconstitute on the parchment paper, ready for collection. After scraping the parchment paper, the waxy residue collected will be clean and ready to go.

What plate style should I choose?

The NugSmasher is unique in its offering of 3 plate styles. The choice in plate configurations will be decided by your knowledge of what you will be pressing most often. Our 6 pack plate works very well for smaller, 6g bags of cured flower wheras our split plate would allow you to load 2 * 2 ounce packs of bubble or dry sift in a single press. If you don't know what will suit you best, or you just want the most flexibility, our standard flat plate will work for all pressing needs with a huge surface area of 7" x 10"! Why not be adventurous and smash full quarter pounds using our large puck maker and the flat plates!

How much pressure do I need?

The pressure needed to extract Rosin from your starting material will vary depending on the following factors: Freshness, Heat Applied, Amount of Material, Type of Material (Cured Flowers, Dry Sift, Bubble, etc). As a general guideline, the more heat you apply, the less pressure you will need (to a certain extent). From our experience, many strains will press very nicely at around 1000 - 1500 psi per inch of material being pressed in the lower temp range of 190 - 215.

How much Rosin can I expect from my material?

This is another question we get often, but cannot ever provide an exact answer. Basically the term "Garbage in, Garbage out" is king with pressing. Rosin will typically taste very much like your starting material smells so using the best material available is always recommended. We have seen results as low as 5.5% with low quality material and have also seen 31%+ with Grade "A" material. Your best bet is to press a couple 4 - 6g test bags to see what you can expect from your material.

Customer Reviews

"The NugSmasher has definately been a great tool for our team. Production is up dramatically over other presses we own! We purchased a few extra alignment racks which allows us to move through material super fast with a 2 person team!"

"These guys really knocked it out of the park with this one. Best bang for your buck by far! I looked at several presses before buying this one. Nothing quite compares with it and its way under priced vs other larger presses."

"Making the transition from BHO was a hard decision at first, but using the NugSmasher makes it a no brainer! I can process just as much material as with BHO, but its ready same day vs waiting 3 days for purging! Awesome!"
