...were you using qtips after every dab?
I stopped using it earlier this month so I guess that makes it about 60-days? To be honest I had some rosin that was using bad parchment paper and the product had gotten pressed into the parchment... so that's where it started and from there I know the rest... not high enough temps and it would puddle and if I sucked too hard it would get stuck around the insert and burn
My experience with burning off usually means it burns on. I've thought about sitting it in the oven on a baking pan at 250 upside down and seeing if it will drip off
That means you are not going hot enough, long enough. Whatever is coating the dish will definitely turn to white ash if you get it hot enough. Just sucks that the Ti bucket will eventually change colors.
Also some of this material seems to be inside the Quartz. So I really don't think that getting it that hot is going to help; there's a few spots on the outside I have scrubbed real good only to realize it's more in the ..
It's like the two subjects bonded; I should take some better pictures of it.
But like I said every night I'd pull it out and clean it (cold) in 99% iso and q-tip it and got it nice and clean and over time it just got worse and harder to get clean and it's kind of sitting in retirement now. It hasn't been cleaned so it really is dirty now lol
I was able to scrub some of it; it was hard work using some weird stone like substance that I found at the store that says it can be used to clean glass. (like drinking) pretty weird it like breaks off as it cleans wasn't sure i wasn't going to do damage there.
Like I said if you see the spots on the bottom that's actually in the quartz. Nothing on the surface really
Edit: Also I dab some bubble hash (dry sift, 6-star water hash) and live resin (bho) and shatter (bho) not really anything exotic. I admit I found some Propane / Butane mix (Mk Ultra) really fire but the quartz didn't seem to like it much. Very smokey afterwards and no matter how hard i q-tipped it didn't ever seem to completely come off. So I usually would just let it cool and give it an iso bath.
It started with some Sweet Water Farms (brand) Durban Poison Rosin (solventless obv...) that the terpenes kind of went into the parchment paper... or so it looks; been doing a little research on rosin and found they have heavier parchment paper that can take more pressure...
>High heat< Feelings aside...Just try it already if you haven't, it works for countless others so why not. You don't KNOW unless you try. Cheers!
Really won't know because my controller is set to a max heat of 900 and I really don't want to change that setting. I could run it at 800 for a couple hours but I would rather smell a car exhaust in my house tbh; it won't be pretty
Edit: the higher the heat the more it stinks; get it above 600 and it's ... regardless thanks for the suggestion i'm not interested however.
Dude, I couldn't agree more with what you just said. I was going to write an almost identical post. One thing that I think would be cool as hell would be for the terp trunk to be slightly domed on the bottom. That way you could get the action that the hurricane is looking for. I also like that as the terp trunk is so smooth and flat it's easy to accidentally slide it off the bucket enough to break the seal when trying to turn. Or maybe I'm just super uncoordinated. Either way, that seems like the perfect solution as it's effectively a hybrid bubble/disk. Man I wish I knew how to manufacture my ideas...I just want to say that after having played with different temperatures, I feel like the 30mm SiC dish is giving me much more vapor out of my concentrates than ever before. It's amazing how smooth the vapor can be even when cranked slightly higher than flavor-savoring temperatures while still giving a satisfying hit. Have found myself actively cutting down on the size of the globs I'm loading due to how ridiculously long I find myself hitting it. Also, the terp trunk feels like it's made for the 30mm; it's got perfect adjustable restriction, the ability to chase puddles, and a handle that doesn't get hot when you're taking a 2 minute long rip.
Pick up some DarkCrystal Clear and pour some in a small container with the insert and then place it in a hot water bath. A few hours and some q-tip scrubbing has gotten them all back to like new condition.This post has gotten a bit quiet (no posts since Monday) so I figured i'd ask a horrible question.
I've used iso and hot iso bath and cold iso and scrubbed the best I could without breaking it; but my gosh it's so gnarly I think it's starting to get a life of it's own.
Best to put it out to pasture right? bury it 500 feet deep at least to ensure no animals find it.
I don't want to go on and on about this subject as I liked my interactions with Josh in the past and really like my 2.0 SiC.
But this whole 3.0 scene is a mess, as it seems is Josh's business practices these days, and I will probably buy a D-nail SiC Halo for my second rig.
I'm not happy to say this, but this is my impressions now after having followed the entire 3.0 thread.
HI - availability isn't my only concern but I am perplexed also. Is Josh now shipping full 20 mm kits including SiC inserts without delay?Intersting, I am perplexed.
Understandable, but I have placed several orders over the past few weeks and shipping times are greatly (bigly? big league?) improved. At least for 20mm and 16mm items. I think my shipping times have been 3-4 days each time.
HI - availability isn't my only concern but I am perplexed also. Is Josh now shipping full 20 mm kits including SiC inserts without delay?
I am, perhaps, a bit out of date?

Posted the other day. I was part of the bad batch of quartz. I got a replacement the other day and it was a SIC and not a quartz that i ordered. Wanted to keep quartz but a better batch. Can someone respond back or on Instagram it has been about a week now.
Thank You
