I would like to know.. how to make pills..
I would like to know if there's a hand press- to make good durable pills..
so that i can measure out my 'personal use only' pills.. at exactly 65 milligrams per pill.
so that i can have 1/2 measures every few hours to make my night last longer and longer.
is there something off ebay.. or somewhere.. that i can buy ?
if anyone has a tutorial.. or experience in this area... i would be deeply indebted.
Thanks for your help.. to anyone who replies :-)

In short - no. Any hand-presser will make incredibly crappy pills that aren't very durable at all.
-
You can, but it kinda involves welding a steel frame and investing in a heavy car lifter, designed for trucks.
It is much easier to make capsules.
-
What about using capsules instead to store doses.
-
I do exactly as rake suggests.
I measure out dosages and but inside of gelatin or vegetable capsules.

ive seen pills made with one of these presses before, looked like it held together well..
quite cheap if you get a good use out of it!

all the pill presses i saw did cost 20.000++ EUR, i guess its better to buy some capsules with vitamines, or buy empty capsules.
anyway it would be AWESOME if you could make pills with your own custom logos :D i would love that!
anyone knows how these logos are made? i mean you need some kind of steel plate that can stand multible tons of pressure from these pill presses.

Go to local health store and buy 00 Gel Caps, measure your dosages and pill them.

i've used the hand presses with a fair amount of success. they're not perfect looking, but they do hold

lol ,as soon as i saw this thread that exact press came to mind...twas also interested in pill pressing a lil while ago....that dude made a video on that site showing the hand held press in action and he threw the pill against the wall and it didnt break....although that could be fake...but that would be false advertisement though...and i would demand my money back if it didnt do that....i would buy that if was gonna make me some pills just cause its damn cheap...lol...you can also get custom dies to 'decorate' your pills...not sure if it would work on the hand held though,think that might be for the machine..not sure
-
Yeah the pills do look sturdy! A few friends have tried some pills made from that press, they didnt say anything about the pills being bad quality..
I think they do a custom dies, but for the machines, they have metal dies and i think the handpress has a plastic die, so you can always custom engrave ;)
-
Do you guys prefer pressies or gel caps? In both the context of buying them, and making them?
Wondering,

Pills are a lot easier to keep safe, they don't break nearly as easy as caps do, and if you have an actual presser like a TDP-5 making them is also much easier than capping out doses individually.
-
i don't care at all for personal use, but pills are definitely better for selling since people seem to attach more legitimacy to them (maybe just used to seeing them in that form?)
