    Tek Home Rosin Presses under $750 - School Me

    Please wear safety goggles when using the High Five press. I have seen what happens when force is applied to that arbor press, and for your safety please use proper protection equipment.

    school me on making bubble

    Heyo Herbivore, a very Merry Christmas to you! Yep, after my tenure at W9 came to a close I spent two months harvesting, trimming, and hashing in Northern California. I'd made a bit of bubble before, but things work on a different scale down there. Yup, that would be Reinhard Delp, who...

    school me on making bubble

    For the few in here curious about the history of ice water hashish, episode 73 of Hash Church featured Skunkman Sam (Real name: David Watson) AKA Sadhu Sam, Mila the Hash Queen (who was manufacturing bags BEFORE Marcus, and had been making her Pollenators well before the bags)- Marcus actually...

    Tek Home Rosin Presses under $750 - School Me

    I've used a variety of tools and rosin devices over the last year and a half...I've used hair straighteners, Vice-Grip clamps, t-shirt presses, pnuematic presses, arbor presses, and most recently spent two months in northern California harvesting, hashing, and rosining; most rosin manufacture...

    Herb Grinders

    I can only do 1-3 grams of dried buds in a coffee grinder at a time to achieve a remotely even grind with some of the types of material I'm processing, and the various ways I tried pulsing and shaking it, and the output is too inconsistent compared to a more traditional grinder... It creates...

    Herb Grinders

    I know it's not exactly on-topic since it's not for vaping (I love my Santa Cruz shredder for vaping) but does anyone here have experience grinding large amounts of flowers for filling pre-rolls? (120 joints at a time, hoping to be able to make about 2k a day once the technique's dialed in.) So...

    Discontinued The Persei Vaporizer for herbs and concentrates.

    The O-ring less bottom insulator reminds me of the very old, pre SR series Hercules (4 or 5 "generations" ago.) I didn't know that any O-ring less 510 bottom insulators had ever been made. The only Hercules I ever saw with a gold band were the first generation Hercules, years before my...

    Discontinued Utopia Desktop Herbal & Oil Vaporizer

    I tested the attachment and experienced extremely negative results with poor vapor production and nearly all oils drawn straight down not vaporized. I suggested a Quartz frit be used in lieu of the spoon style attachment I tested, and had 1000x better success vaporizing with a Hercules coil than...

    Discontinued Utopia Desktop Herbal & Oil Vaporizer

    I made a large amount of videos but many of them show the heater core that is not publicly disclosable at this time. I didn't have a chance to share all my thoughts and feedback on the Odyssey with its creator nor the community, although I did try to ask some questions that I didn't get answers...

    Discontinued Omicron Vaporizer for oils

    Hi @notoriousLrg , If you want to disassemble the AC V2 base completely, you'll want to take a small tool and set the AC base upside-down on a work surface, then push firmly against the bottom of the gold colored center post to push the post inside the base. Once it's apart you can wash the...

    Discontinued Omicron Vaporizer for oils

    We are here for the discerning vaporist who wishes to maximize the flavor and vapor quality from their high quality concentrates. One of the most important parts of a load-as-you-go concentrate vaporizer is its heating element, and ours places the air inlet underneath the heater so that air's...

    Discontinued Omicron Vaporizer for oils

    Thanks for testing before use; we can replace your non functional heaters since you tested before loading- good on ya. Perhaps there's something in the assembly of the new EHD coils that needs to be checked out. Could you help us find out what's going on by taking a video of the 2 coils glowing...

    Perfect e-nail - how should it be constructed?

    Rotary encoder knob to quickly and easily select temperature instead of pushing and holding up/down buttons. Small footprint. There are a few other features I'd personally want that I keep private since I think they'd be easy to implement in an Arduino based e-nail and I have a really...

    Discontinued The Persei Vaporizer for herbs and concentrates.

    I put the mouthpiece and top cap together and leave the heat shield off any time I load. Keeps oils off the heat shield threads. Once I see the oils start to melt into the wick as the rod heats them I try to maintain very low temperature and keep melting in the entire first quarter gram at a...

    Discontinued The Persei Vaporizer for herbs and concentrates.

    Glad to see you've found the Nibbler XL, the Herc and Nibbler is my favorite combo for the past few years. @jim-bob posted about magical durable Nibblers.. well I should have broken my Nibbler XL about 100 times since I do not own a case for it and I have dropped it on many hard surfaces and one...

    Discontinued The Persei Vaporizer for herbs and concentrates.

At least I have some Omicron on hand for these ferry rides and a Hercules for the next two evenings away from home. As for your questions, As for the new Persei I have no news to share beyond what @THC...

    Discontinued The Persei Vaporizer for herbs and concentrates.

    I've had good luck restoring gummed up spring loaded pins by putting them in a small zippered sandwich bag with 99% alcohol, sealing it, dipping in near boiling water, pulling it out, and squeezing the pin to actuate its travel. If it doesn't come back to life after through cleaning, one likely...

    Recommendations for enail controller

    This is by far the best offer I've seen presented in this thread. Your current e-nail box contains nearly all the parts for fantastic performance if it's equipped with the correct relay, wired, and configured properly, there's absolutely no need to spend more than about $50 to get it set up for...

    next generation e-nails?

    @PoopMachine I had an interesting chat with D-nail customer service recently where they apologized for being unable to help configure my non D-nail box for use with their flat coil and SiC dish, and while they didn't try to sell me their box, they did mention that it would fix my issues. I’ve...

    Cheap Chinese e-Nail thread

    Sorry to hear of the issues here Baron. That is not a solid state relay. What is on the other side of that piece? That looks like a 120v > USB power brick with leads attached where the prongs that go into the wall are. If that is what that is... What's it doing inside your e-nail? Noticed my...
