I've been running my BHO out of 5/8" copper tubing for years and I want to switch to a stainless steel tube with valves for closing and keeping the pressure inside the tube.
I've found two versions, one from Ablaze and the second from Best Value Vacs.
Ablaze offers a 45 gram tube, including...

Thanks Hackerman, you're right on.
I'm looking at the Levo II, small oil batch size, dries, decarbs, little mess or noise.
And only $350.
Think I'll get a refund from Ardent? lol!

I just got an email from Cara at Ardent.
Apparently the foul smell in the cap and sealant is the smell of properly decarbed bud.
I think she's full of shit.

Who else bought a Lift because of this thread then found it to be smelly?
.
What alternative is there? I've got a half gallon...
.
I've gotta give Ardent an A+ for customer service, my replacement Lift came in today barely 2 weeks since sending out my old model.
The problem is the silicone cover smells the same as my old one.
If I didn't need decarbing so bad I'd toss this one out and call it a day on my $210.
Does no...

My first Nova stunk of sealant or plastic, the smell soaked into the buds.
I emailed Ardent but got no response, so I packed up my Nova and left it under a desk. This spring I screwed some bud by letting them dry too much in the early curing phase, basically stopping the cure.
I took out...

Dave I`m thinking for getting one when I have a lot of trim on hand, I`m not a dabber so I wouldn`t be running any good bud through it to make shatter.
I`m not sure of what I`d use the extract for, maybe tincture.
.
I took a quick run home on my supper hour to run a test with cured bud and decarbed bud of the same variety (decarbed last night).
I ran back to back bags on my Volcano. Normally I wouldnt feel any higher off the second bag right away, this time I definitely feel higher. My vocabulary seems...

I just picked up a Sharpstone V2.0, 2.5 inch, it has raised groves for the fingers to catch to help with unbinding the unit after grinding.
I would like a bigger one, the 2.5 inch is their biggest, but this one does a great job grinding.

Foul smell update
I washed and soaked the inner silicone cap for 3 hours and only dimmed the smell. The inner cup washed out clean after a few minutes, no smell. Be careful washing and drying the inner cup, there is a sharp edge on the inner lip that gives a nasty paper like cut.
I then...

I emailed Ardent yesterday and got a reply today at 9:30 am:

Hi Hobbess,
Thanks for your message and sorry there is an issue with your unit. Please try a quick soapy soak and wash of the cup and the cap and/or a run through the dishwasher. If there is still a smell please let me know...
.
That's great Frank, what kind of inner lid do you have?
Anyone who is getting a stink should chime in here and give Ardent an email, so we can get some help solving this problem.
I'm not noticing any bad taste when vaporing, but there is a definite smell transfer from Nova to bud.
I'm...
.
I'm sure that the smell goes the other way around, the silicon(?) cap is stinking up the whole unit.
I emailed Ardent about the odor, I'll see if they respond.
In the meantime I want to go with something metal to act as the cover, any ideas other than having one machined? I'll take...

Foul Odor
Does anyone with the new silicon cap notice a foul odor coming from it? Very rank.
The odor transfers to the bud but I don't notice it when vaping. Most of my decarbed bud will be for capsules so the odor isn't a deal breaker, but it's disturbing. I can't see Ardent not...

My Nova came in this morning, sitting on the steps as I went to work at 6:30 am, no signature required.
17 days from date of order, including 3 days stuck in customs at the Canadian border. US customers could expect delivery to be a couple days quicker.
Comes in a medium size box, well...

Any other butane honey oil fans on board?
I've been dreaming about a CO2 extractor since I learned BHO extraction from Phife 10 years ago. This one looks perfect for the home enthusiest, an ounce per cycle.
At $3,200 it's affordable and gives a perfect product every time.

Hi Frank, welcome aboard!
What's rosin? The trichomes pressed away from the plant matter?
How do you use it?
Why press?
I've browsed a couple of rosin threads and still can't wrap my mind around it, probably should have another thread, sorry for taking things off topic.

I just got my delivery notice, tracking number to come.
Less than two weeks from order to shipping.
Here`s the letter I got:

Hi Ardent Family!
Your unit has shipped, and you will receive your tracking number within the next 24 hours if you haven't already. Just a few things to know as...

I ran out of capsules for decabed bud and Hydropothecary is sending me 300 for free, after a call to customer service.
It`s their policy to only send capsules when decarbed bud is ordered, but they took care of me with the first call. I offered to pay for shipping and the capsules but they...
