Nice work Boogerman! It's fascinating to see how this is turning out. You've probably already thought of this, but how about re-pressing your 75'F nug at progressively higher temps to determine the 'sweet spot' at your chosen pressure?

Is it a huge bottle, or just kinda pricy?

There are lots of hydraulic tools which might be re-purposed. How about cable crimping tools: or: I've seen crimping tools that claim 16tons for under $45 on e-bay. OK, you'd need to have custom heaters/plates, but it's possible, no? It would be very convenient if extreme pressure would...

Thanks for posting this Frank :tup: I haven't looked at the other Flowermate threads, but they (the devices) have a decent rep don't they? Must go read some. I'm slightly interested, but I'd need some more convincing that it's not just another conduction vape with a nod to convection (I fancy a...

True that Reggie, I feel the same. I suppose that there's few here equipped to do genuine, controlled, scrutiny resistant science, but I personally think that the headroom provided by equipment capable of high pressures is currently a reasonable investment (assuming someone plans to invest in...

I I think your terps will see the vacuum as an excellent getaway vehicle, but if there's something for them to condense on, maybe it will work? One way to find out.....

It seems he did. It's a gamble, but (for me at least) not an especially high stakes one, I'm sticking with them in the hope that they'll come through. :ugh:

The vac bag won't provide any real heat though will it? Unless you're referring to something heated that I'm unfamiliar with? Our favourite herbs are expensive though, so there will always be a desire to maximise yield, and I got the general impression that those who have been upping their...

Disclaimer first: My direct experience of rosin tech=nada, so my opinion <most others here :shrug: That said, I believe that even if you have a pump that's very powerful, a vacuum bag will only allow a max pressure equal to atmospheric pressure (15 pounds per square inch?). Probably a lot less...

Sorry, but I can't help but think that heating the entire vise would be horribly inefficient and unnecessary. I don't want to step on the spirit of invention here though, so perhaps there is some advantage to this approach that I'm not seeing? I suppose that if you were to squish dozens of...

Hmmm, what is this policy you mention?

What makes you say 65 a day? Have I missed something? (apologies if it's something obvious)

Best colour yet IMO, that's gorgeous. Even though I'm waiting for the 18mm-Single batt', I'm also coming round to the 'fully inclusive' appeal of the Zion, an expedition vape without peer! I wouldn't quite say that I'm sick with envy Paka, but.........aw screw it, I AM sick with envy :bowdown...

Ion works for me :cheers: It's short enough to escape the acronymitis that's rampant here on FC (GAH!, I can't help myself :doh:)

Hi Monsoon, just wondering why you think the heat up needs to be fast? My own thoughts are that if a high pressure device is used then starting slow might allow rosin that still has terps, to squeeze out beyond the 'warm zone' before slowly ramping up the temps, to gradually encourage the more...

WOW :drool: Starting at room temp strikes me as another GREAT idea, how does it taste/work? Had you done anything in particular to the material to prep' it?

Sorry, double post

Surely a vacuum would cause delicate terps to boil off more readily? It had crossed my mind that positive pressure during a press might help to preserve them, but this wouldn't help the 'steam extraction' aspect of squishing. And no disrespect to others who almost certainly have better...

Instead of parchment, how about titanium foil? It comes in many different thicknesses, and is affordable. No worries about contamination, and it might allow very high pressure/very low temp presses to preserve terps. If bought thin enough to bend, even absolute shatter that wants to ping away...

Gee thanks weenstoned, how the hell am I supposed to unsee that?
