Abstract
A device and method of forming smokable materials are disclosed. The device may include a puck, which may be configured to at least partially pass through a channel defined by a die from one end of the die. The die and the puck are configured such that smokable material may be placed within the die from that end and compressed by the puck against a substantially rigid surface proximal to the other end of the die. The puck may be pushed through the channel in the die using a feature that provides mechanical advantage. The puck and die may also be attached to or may be part of a press, such as a t-handle press. A spacer may also be included to maintain a minimum height of the compressed smokable material. The device is configured such that the compressed smokable material may be inserted into the oven of a vaporizer.
