Pill press? Firmapress????

**zilla43** · 03-22-2024, 07:41 AM

Anyone have any opinions on getting a pill press shipped in from China? (Reputable source) he will be mailing it to his reshipper here in the US and then from there mailed to myself. Also, does anyone have any experience using firmapress?? Opinion?? Thanks 💪🏼

You can definitely get one in from china, finding a seller who isn't settled Ng you up though is a different thing.

Firmapress is a must!!!!

Just buy it and make sure your mixture is 70% minimum firmapress and the rest your API.

Buying the excipients seperate is possible but you must get the mixture right or you'll have issues with every variable needed when pressing.

Mixtures need to flow, compress, lubricate and hold.
There's more to it but if you try using household powders you'll end up wasting your time and buying firmapress in the end.

I wouldn't think buying one is the problem lol. Getting it past customs and the Dea now days is a task I'm not sure most want to try
