Best Rosin Presses Review:Sasquash Rosin Press V2
Rosin tech is a new technology that empowers consumers to take control of their own extraction process. The technique is a relatively new way to transform the plant and by utilizing heat and pressure, it is an all-natural way for consumers to make their own cannabis oil. Simply put, take your flower or hash, put it in a filter bag and in between parchment paper, then apply heat of ~215F and at least 500 PSI of pressure for 60 seconds, and that’s it – you’ve created a completely solventless cannabis extract.
The term “rosin” stems from the method of making a product used to lubricate the bows of a violin, with cannabis connoisseurs putting their own spin on the solventless technique, which means that when it comes to pressing rosin, no foreign or additional substances need to be added to get the desired result.
Rosin comes in a variety of forms, such as shatters, waxes and all different types of viscosities. The technology behind rosin, which is made from bubble hash, kief, trim or flower during an extraction process combining heat and pressure, ensures that the cannabis terpenes and cannabinoids are preserved. As a result, rosin holds a massive benefit in that consumers can know exactly what they are putting in their body following the extraction process. Because of this, making your own cannabis oil using the rosin technique is the best way to know what you are putting in your body and therefore, allows users to consume safely, all without compromising quality or altering the chemical make-up of the end product.
The maximum pressure a press can generate has become one of those "buzzy" features that promises better results, but doesn't actually make much of a difference beyond a certain point. Another well-known example of this phenomenon is megapixels in a camera.
The truth is: extremely high pressure does not result in significantly higher yields. In fact, too much pressure will actually push undesirable material (like as lipids and inert organic particles) into your rosin. The result is a lower quality output.
The following graphic shows the pressure "sweet spot" (in terms of psi at the bag) for various material types. It is the section between the dotted lines.As you can see, you do still get an increase in yield with in increase in pressure, but it is a slight increase. And the possibility of pushing fats, lipids and chlorophyll into your rosin also increases with the increase in pressure, which could lead to a decrease in quality.

Let's move on and get to the top rosin presses on the market this year.
The Sasquash V2.0 – The Original Upgraded
The Sasquash V2 is the advanced rosin press in the lineup. This 15 ton press can produce up to 30,000 lbs of downward force for even greater pressing power not just for rosin. The V2 has been redesigned with the controls integrated into the press for a more seamless and streamlined design.
The V2 can also be bought with the manual hand pump, pneumatic foot pump or the noiseless electric pump which we think is the best option due to the efficiency and ease of use.
With 8.5” x 5” plates, one can easily press double the amount of the M1 by having larger bags or putting two bags while pressing and can hold 30g of material. The V2 is ideal for the advanced consumer or the industry professional needing to press a lot of rosin at any given time.
15ton. (10,000psi)
30,000lbs of downward force.
110V A/C at 10amp.
4 x 250watts Heaters. (1000watts)

Dimensions: 8"w x 18"l x 14"h.
Weights 135lbs.
UL Certified Parts
FDA Approved Coatings
Squash up to 1 ounce at a time
Limited Warranty.
Free Shipping To The Lower 48 States.
7-10 business days lead time
Pump not included - Manual, Pneumatic, Or Electric - Hydraulic Pumps
* Pressure Gauge HIGHLY RECOMMENDED - Sold Separately*
Sasquash is the industry leader when it comes to hydraulic (and hybrid) rosin presses and their V2 model is our top choice. It delivers 15 tons of pressing power and is not cheap, but we feel it offers the best price to performance ratio. It can process a whopping 1 ounce of material at a time.
This was the hardest category in which to pick our top press. It was very close (check out the runner-ups in the section on alternatives below). The main reasons we chose the V2 in the end were the above-mentioned performance and its flexibility.
The big drawback is that none of the pumps are included and will need to be purchased separately. The Sasquash-provided pumps range from $500 for the foot pump to $1800 for the electric pump. That's a large additional expense. Plus, with the foot pump, you'll need to additionally purchase an air compressor.
The Sasquash V2.0 has large 8.5 by 5 inch solid aluminum plates that are heated quickly to a precise temperature by 4 heaters of 250 watts each. It is a heavy press at 135 pounds, but has a compact design, measuring only 14 inches tall by 18 inches wide by 8 inches deep.
All Sasquash presses include a limited lifetime manufacturer's warranty. It covers the hydraulic and fabricated parts for life and electrical components for 90 days.
Pros
Flexibility: choose hydraulic, pneumatic or electrical operation
High Capacity: can process up to 1 ounce per press
Compact Size: 8" (d) x 18" (w) x 14" (h)
Warranty: limited lifetime warranty
Cons
Heavy: 135 pounds
No pumps included: hand, foot or electric pump must be purchased separately (plus the air compressor for the foot pump)

The V2 can be operated by hand pump, by foot pump with an air compressor or completely hands-free via electric pump. This means you can start out with hydraulic operation via hand pump and upgrade to pneumatic or electric operation in the future when you are looking to boost output and/or automate the process.
The big drawback is that none of the pumps are included and will need to be purchased separately. The Sasquash-provided pumps range from $500 for the foot pump to $1800 for the electric pump.
