Getting Started with the NugSmasher XP

NugSmasher XP is a revolutionary rosin extraction machine that can quickly turn seven grams of flower into high-quality solventless concentrate. If you are new to using the machine or thinking about getting one, here’s an instructional guide on how to get started with extracting using NugSmasher XP.

Step 1: Download and Install NugSmasher App To get started, make sure that you have the NugSmasher app downloaded and installed. The app is available for both Android and iOS devices, and it is where you can calculate the surface area pressure on the XP easily. Additionally, the app is a great tool that allows you to log all your extractions and keep notes, percentages, and other essential data for future reference.

Step 2: Choose the Right Bags The next step is to choose the right bags to use. NugSmasher XP comes with different bag sizes, including 3.5-gram, 7-gram, 14-gram bags, and X bags. For beginners, it’s best to start with the gram size that you want to use for extraction. For instance, if you’re working with 120 microns, get 120 micron of 3.5g, 120 micron of 7g, and 120 micron of 14g bags to get started. This will help you to get a sample of each size of bag and start working with those micron bags.

Step 3: Turn on the Machine Before starting the extraction, ensure that the plates are together on the machine. Flip the machine on and dial in the temperature that you want. For example, if you want 206 degrees Fahrenheit, turn the machine on and wait for the plates to heat up. There are two 160-watt heaters in each plate, and four heaters in total work together to heat the plates quickly and evenly.

Step 4: Pack the Bags Once you’ve selected the right bag size, pack it with your flower. For example, if you’re using a 7-gram 120-micron bag, put both eighths of flour in one bag. When packing your bag you want to ensure the corners are tucked in Bottle Tech Style to make sure that the bag is packed correctly and there are no air pockets.

Step 5: Plug in the Material Pressure on the NugSmasher App to calculate the gauge pressure reading to figure out the target gauge pressure you want to maintain during the course of your extraction. Check the app for guidance on the exact gauge pressure you need to apply based on the bag size and amount of bags you’re using.

Step 6: With the temperature heated up everything is set up and it’s time to start the extraction process. Put the packed bag between the plates in an upright position and bring the plates together. Apply the gauge pressure that you calculated in step 5 and start the timer. Depending on the amount of flower and the pressure applied, it can take anywhere from 60 seconds to several minutes to extract the rosin.

Step 7: Collect the Rosin Once the extraction is complete, remove the bag from the plates and collect the rosin on a cold surface with an everything tool. You can use a dab tool or scraper to gather the rosin and store it in a Rosin Pot or parchment paper.

In conclusion, NugSmasher XP is a fantastic rosin extraction machine that can produce high-quality solventless concentrate quickly. With the above guide, you can get started with your extraction process and enjoy the benefits of NugSmasher XP. Remember to follow the instructions carefully and always use the right bag size and pressure for the best results.
