NugSmasher Rosin Press Review

NugSmasher has earned its laurels when it comes to rosin extraction. While only in existence since 2016, the brand made a name for itself as it carved out a niche in providing efficient rosin presses that help you achieve the best yields. Up to today, if you do a Google search for articles on the best rosin press you can get your hands on, you will find NugSmasher as one of the most mentioned brands available.

People attribute NugSmasher rosin presses as solid, reasonably priced, having impeccable build quality, and how easy it is to use their rosin presses. Plus, NugSmasher offers a lifetime warranty for its machines.

Now, that’s hard to beat these days.

Since our last product review of the brand, NugSmasher has added a new rosin press to its already-impressive lineup of machines. NugSmasher now offers bundle packs with its extractors, so all you need to do is drop in your material and extract it to your heart’s desires. 

 

NugSmasher Rosin Press Review

NugSmasher Mini

The NugSmasher Mini is a favorite of consumers on a personal level.

Designed for manual extraction, the NugSmasher Mini is the ideal companion for trips and can sit nicely on a countertop. Since it was intended for personal use, the Mini can extract from materials of up to 3.5 grams in weight. 

For its size, you’ll be surprised to see how much it can do with two (2) tons of pressure and a pair of 2.5-inch square or round heated plates. These plates heat up through the 70-watt heating elements on each plate.

The NugSmasher Mini features accurate temperature control, so you get the right amount of heat based on your strain and the form of the material. Another cool feature of the NugSmasher Mini is its fast, retracting plate release system. The last thing you want is burned rosin, which is why the plate release system takes out your material before the plates burn it from prolonged heat.

Now, the Nugsmasher Mini was designed for portability, given its dimensions. Don’t be deceived by the size; you can expect the same quality of extracts with the NugSmasher Mini in smaller quantities.

 

NugSmasher IQ

The Nugsmasher IQ delivers accuracy and smart features to get the best extracts possible. With a squishing capacity of four tons, this rosin press can extract from up to two 14-gram bags with quadruple heaters on its 4 x 6-inch plates.

The integration of CNC technology sets the Nugsmasher IQ apart from other rosin extractors. The addition of CNC allows the precise calculation of parameters needed to get the perfect extracts. That means you can input exact temperatures, psi, and time to extract without risks of burning or blowouts. You can even ramp settings to improve extract quality. 

Aside from integrating CNC, the Nugsmasher IQ also offers firmware updates via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi through its Interactive Extraction Brain, decarboxylation mode, and a ten-inch touchscreen.

 

NugSmasher XP

The  NugSmasher XP is a manual rosin press that caters to those looking to extract more in a single smash.

NugSmasher XP 12 Ton Rosin Press

Capable of putting out 12 tons of pressure, the NugSmasher XP features a set of 4 x 6-inch quad-heated plates, rated at 160 watts per heating element. 

The NugSmasher XP is powerful enough to work on materials of up to 14 grams and can do two (2) 14-gram bags simultaneously. Like other manual rosin extractors, the NugSmasher XP also features a manual pump arm to help you squeeze the flavors out of the rosin. 

 

NugSmasher PRO

The NugSmasher Pro is the king of rosin extracts of NugSmasher and is designed for dispensaries or even connoisseurs who want to squeeze out large amounts of rosins regularly.

The NugSmasher Pro uses manual or pneumatic controls to exert pressure with much precision using its 7 x 10-inch heating plates. These are one of the enormous heating plates on the market, and each plate has three (3) heaters rated at 160 watts to maintain a consistent temperature.

The NugSmasher Pro can take on 3.5, 7, and 14-gram rosin bags and extract up to 0.25 pounds per press. You can also input accurate pressure and temperature control and a fast retract plate system to ensure the quality of your extracts.

Upping the ante on this rosin press is the custom calculator tool you can access on the NugSmasher website, which helps you achieve consistency in the surface area of the plates.

 

Nugsmasher PRO Touch 

Last on the list is one of the newer offerings from the company, the Nugsmasher PRO Touch

 Nugsmasher PRO Touch

This rosin extractor combines the brains of the Nugsmasher Touch and the Nugsmasher IQ with the power of the Nugsmasher PRO. With this combination, the Nugsmasher PRO Touch allows you to save settings to easily recall recipes whenever you need to extract from a specific strain and quantity. 

Like other Nugsmasher products that use the Interactive Extraction Brain, the Nugsmasher PRO Touh also accepts firmware updates through Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. 

While the Nugsmasher PRO Touch doesn’t have the CNC capabilities of the Nugsmasher IQ, it does, however, include other exciting features. A 10-inch capacitive touchscreen serves as the main point of interaction. This rosin press features a surface area calculator to get the right amount of pressure needed. And to top it off, the Nugsmasher PRO Touch features a built-in timer that starts extraction when you reach the ideal PSI, reducing unnecessary burning. 

Considering how Nugsmasher combined the best features from its machines into one rosin press, it will be a challenge for other rosin press brands to top this machine.

NugSmasher Bundles

What’s better than a NugSmasher Rosin Press? A NugSmasher Rosin Press Bundle Deal. NugSmasher now offers Bundle Deals that let you jumpstart your rosin extraction journey.

There are three (3) bundles to choose from, each having accessories you need to get started out-of-the-box. Here’s what you can expect from each bundle.

NugSmasher Mini 2 Ton Rosin Press Essentials Bundle

The Basics Bundle is the most fundamental package, providing the necessary items, including a Silicon Mat, an Everything Tool, and four sets of 12-pack micron bags of varying ratings.

The Essentials Bundle is a step up, containing everything in the Basics Bundle, but typically doubles the 12-pack micron bags to eight sets. It also adds a NugSmasher magnet, a Rosin pot, and a Collection plate. These additional tools enhance the processing and handling of materials.

The Master Bundle is the most comprehensive offering. In addition to all the items in the Essentials Bundle, it typically increases the number of 12-pack micron bags to eleven sets and provides two NugSmasher magnets. The Master Bundle includes a Tool Keeper, a Decarboxylation Capsule, and two Pre-press molds. These items offer more advanced professional-grade processing, storage, and preparation capabilities.

There’s also an Extractor Choice Master Bundle available, which offers, aside from those listed in the Master Bundle, an added Nugsmasher Touch and NugSmasher Mini. Note that the Extractor Choice is only available for NugSmasher Pro orders.

 

Nugsmasher Accessories 

Nugsmasher also offers accessories that make rosin extraction easier. 

For one, Nugsmasher produces its own brand of  extraction bags. It makes regular and premium bags, each designed for particular machines, depending on the size. All bags are double-stiched, and the premium line has lower micron ratings available. It’s also worth noting that the Nugsmasher produces an extraction bag designed particularly for the Nugsmasher X. 

Other accessories worth looking into are the collection plates, magnets to hold your parchment paper, rosin pots, and other extraction tools. 

 

Conclusion

NugSmasher continues to innovate designs for rosin extraction, which makes it one of the strategies it employs to remain popular and reliable in the extracts market. Given the consistently high quality it can deliver, it won’t be surprising if they remain popular in the coming years.  

The brand has proven its quality, and it would be exciting to know how else they will change the game in rosin extraction.
