What kind of temp probe?

Oh yeah I know the dilemma haha I would love to have a nice gallery of my presses but sometimes you just gotta taste it before anything else haha

So did I. Welcome @Toadjuggler ! I would love to see some pictures of your finished product. I really wonder how big of an indication as to the success of the slug this forum is. I haven't been here long and I have seen a decent amount of new buyers appear. It makes me happy.

So after several pressed trying both heating methods (heating for 30 seconds before twisting vs heating and twisting right away) and it's pretty obvious that Steama is correct. I've had significantly more when heating and twisting off the bat. I've been having alot of success lately. I might...

I wish I had a story like that. That sounds like a hell of learning experience. I love old Beetles. I learned on the toyota I am rebuilding. Will never go back to autos. Or at least I will never only have an auto. I've actually been hoping someone would ask that kind of question Lou! Haha I've...

The learning pains y'all are feeling right now are going to pay off. It's like learning to drive stick. It sucks in the early stages, you're gonna stall and grind gears, you're gonna panic when you're on your first dozen or so hills. But when you get it down you get that awesome feeling of being...

@710Coils I haven't been a member for long but I already like you man. You helped me when I had questions and went out of your way to offer to order a product you didn't have for me. Happy birthday man and I look forward to seeing more of you.

Steama you're speaking my exact thoughts and experiences this past couple days. I have a seconds timer as well. Cheap little 1$ one. It's perfect. It really does come down to the quality of flower for yield and color as well. I've gotten the hang of things, not as much as you Steama as I've...

It was really good man. And yeah I definitely got up there haha I have a high tolerance from years of smoking flower and this got me toasty as fuck haha. Those are the pistons for my 1988 Toyota Pickup with a bored out 22re.

I appreciate the analogy Natty uses to explain the use of a torch. It's like making an egg. Very few people pull out a timer and clock the temp of pan and then make the egg. You gotta fuck up a few eggs before you can pump out good eggs consistently. When you put in the time you give yourself an...

I'm sure i didn't measure it with any accuracy. I tared with a similarly sized piece of parchment and came up with roughly .25 when I combined both runs. So 12.5%?

I just use Reynolds parchment paper. But I might see about trying an uncoated paper next. Sorry about th orientation guys. For some reason tinypic keeos rotating my pictures. Any tips on this? This was tonight. 2 separate 1 gram presses. 1:10 heat time. Went without a hitch.

We weren't talking about forging onto glass. Dripping the rosin onto a glass dish was the topic. And silicone was brought up because we all use parchment paper that has a silicone coating I believe. We press directly onto the paper so his concern is the pressure and the slug are removing...

I just watched the video and I will say. When I end up with a fully electric press set up that will be how I harvest. Although what I've been hearing about silicone leeching into stuff lately has got me worried. I think maybe some kind of pyrex dish would be better. Throw a few freezer packs...

No I didn't get you right at first. But now that I understand you I'm still confused. Why would you want to press onto a metal plate? Cleanup? I don't see the benefit. And also if a backing plate has never been an issue I don't see how the removal of parchment paper from the process would make...

Okay well I highly doubt you are the one who originally suggested a backing plate. It's been on sale at Nattys for a while. And it has been discussed as being necessary for bigger slugs or smaller vices for far longer than that so that's nothing new. Grinders, coins, all kinds of stuff has been...

Yeah this I can wholeheartedly agree with. I have barely scratched the surface of this thing so I'm excited to continue using it for many years. My deuce is just waiting for me to break it in. After work today I will be doing several presses. I will aim for a gram. Welcome Vmos!! Good to have...

No! Not all all man. I have been editing my past post while you posted this one so theres a delay in the conversation. I'm not one to take these things personally. I didn't propose the coil thing though that's the only misunderstanding I'd like to clear up. I am absolutely a fan of honest...

The only thing I have done is point out that very fact Lou. That it has been talked about but never executed. I've never looked into. As I've said a bunch of times. And also I dont know what ideas you are telling me to have fun with. Steama posted about PIDs and I have no idea what that even...

I cool with water every time. I can make 2 presses in less than 10 minutes and the slug is cool and clean and ready to go again. You seem really hurt and defensive by me simply answering someone else's question. Like I'm saying the slug needs improvement. I already said I will be getting an...
