You might look into "chottle style." I have the same press and I had a lot better results with the bag open on both ends.
As to pressure... it's a "feeling" the material gives you that you're looking for. Pump it down until there is good resistance at the handle... where you'd have to lean...
Probably not the right thread, but hopefully some of the folks here can help... would cutting 1g of distillate with .5g of diy vape oil work with the ccell 510 carts? The vape oil would be 80% everclear and 20% vg recipe with all the everclear evaporated.
I've done a few runs with moderate success. I'd like to try to make something more potent than what I've gotten so far and I'm wondering about a few things...
1. Would there be any benefit to running a 7 gram batch, and then using that liquid plus a new 7 grams and little more liquid to cover...
My experience is it works well and basically you end up with something that actually has a bit of a water after taste. Not sure how stealth the smoking smell is, though.
I have a Flux Deluxe and the Chinese SJK IH, but I'll also be buying whatever George comes up with... so not sure where I fit in with these kinds of black and white scenarios... Shades of grey and all that.
I disconnected mine before first use. I'm not making claims that it's safe, only that it's my preferred method since it's quiet and the unit doesn't heat up. I think the fuse is for any malfunctions...
