How To Make A DIY Kief Press At Home

There is a treasure at the bottom of your grinder. This treasure consists of residual trichomes and glands that seasoned users know as kief.

Kief is increibly potent. It’s basically concentrated THC and other cannabinoids, and it can get you ripped quickly. Many stoners with grinders often have an entire chamber loaded with kief.

But what happens when you have no weed and only kief? You could try rolling it in papers, but the powdery substance often doesn’t roll as well as ground weed. On the other hand, it slips right through a bowl piece if there isn’t any weed to block the hole.

When money is tight, or you simply don’t have time for a dispensary visit, here’s how to make an easy homemade kief press so you can spark a fat bowl. Keep reading to learn more.

To make a kief press, you have the option of buying specialized tools at your local bud shop. Still, they are expensive, and you could end up spending $100+.

In the meantime, let’s make a cheap homemade kief press that’s effective and meets your expectations. Here’s what you’ll need:

• An unsharpened pencil (brand new with a flat edge)
• A segmented ink pen with a straight metal body
• Paper to use as a funnel

See the step-by-step guide below:

Step 1: Disassemble your pen. You will need the metal body of the ink pen that has a tube shape. It will work as a mold for your pressed kief. Don’t forget to wash the metal tube because it will touch the precious kief.

Step 2: Stand the metal tube upright on the table. Remove the kief from your grinder and put it on sturdy paper. The paper will work as a funnel, so roll it a bit and use it to put the kief inside the metal tube.

Step 3: Once your kief is inside the metal tube, take the pencil and press the kief inside the tube against the table surface. Tap and press the kief firmly for a few seconds. At this point, your kief will look like a tiny hockey puck or a pill.

Step 4: What are you waiting for? It’s time to smoke that pill. Keep in mind that putting too much kief in your homemade press or pressing too lightly will cause it to crumble.

After you’ve held your pen upside down and carefully caught your pressed kief, it’s time to spark up!

There are a few ways to smoke pressed kief. The easiest way possible is through a bong or pipe. The kief disc will sit in the bowl without falling through. Just be sure to pull slowly, as the burning kief may fall apart. Still, you’ll inhale a hefty cloud of concentrated THC.

If you only have rolling papers, feel free to make a mini joint. You may have to use more pressed kief in order to make the joint smokeable. Simply roll your filter and start the joint as you normally would, but load it with your kief disc.

Finally, the best possible way to smoke your kief disc is with a dry herb vaporizer. But, if you had a dry herb vape, you wouldn’t need to make a kief press, as these vapes work with loose kief as well.

Whichever method you choose, we hope your homemade kief press lives up to your expectations.
