So I finally got a scale that can weight down to the thousandth. I just did a press and if I divide weight of dab by initial puck I am getting 14.5%. I am using a heavy-duty vise setup. How much improvement might I expect going to a H frame hydraulic press?
I have pressed hops (azacca) and dabbed the hop oil straight up with no weed. Interesting flavor. Made my lips tingle. Gave an energizing feeling. I'm thinking of adding pure hop oil to my next brew. Cutting edge... :)
I had the problem with my bolton vise as will. Maybe we just to strong. :D
At any rate I switch to a larger conventional vise that has a really beefy slide. It does work considerably better then the bolton at a similar price. It was the big vise home depot sells.
My XP 1 came with a cord to plug directly into the mighty. It can charge it fully twice. It says 12volt 8 amp output next to the port. The mighty draws what it needs so it charges at same speed as the adapter.
