Just pulled the trigger on the 3x5 10 ton driptech press, strongway pump, and a 2x4 pre press!!! Cant wait! Customer service has been great so far! been following this thread for a while and figured i would finally make an account.
Thank you for your business, I look forward to your review and thanks for joining FC!
Press came in yesterday but unfortunately I am out of the state for a few days for thanksgiving. Had it brought inside the house for me so it’s safe and sound. I requested DHL to deliver a few days later but they didn’t hold it a few days like supposed to. Want to get home now so I can play with it! Have to wait until Sunday! The anticipation is killing me haha!
Ohhhhh man! The anticipation would be killing me too! At least you'll unite with your press on the weekend =)
I'm really into a set-up of some kind here. It seems that once I settled on wanting a 3x5 plate, the only thing left is deciding how to handle the press purchase. I didn't want to mess with making all the adjustments to set the plates up all the time so my mind is between just the plate cage vs the all in one bj6t35 vs the driptech 10t35v.
With the current sale, the difference between just the plate cage and the bj6t35 is a little over a hundred which would be around the cost of buying a separate shop press. For another hundred you get into the 10t35v and a strongway pump,which gives you the extra 10 ton pressure and the perfect plate adjustment. The latter seems like the best deal, but dropping over $500 is still a big chunk of change for me. Right now I can buy rosin for about $40 a gram and flower at $5-6 a gram. That would be a lot of presses to make up the cost of the set up.
Can I ask what the warranty is on these units? I couldn't find it on the website. This would be a serious investment for me. Thanks.
We offer a 1 year warranty on the plates and rosin temp control box. After the 1 year warranty is up, the rosin temp control box can be replaced for only 50% of the cost of a replacement box. This is better than most companies which will make you purchase the replacement part at full price.
The plates and frame we don't expect any warranty issues as this is heavy duty construction that really only will be damaged through physical abuse and misuse.
If money is a concern, the best deal around right now is to get a 6-ton A-frame shop press and pair it with out 3x3" plate kit. That comes in at under $300.
In regards to our more expensive AIO units, I would recommend to shop around at the competition and compare your shopping cart prices, I understand that $500 is a lot of money, but you'll find that this press is priced far below it's value when looking across the rosin marketplace.
Buying the hr10t35v right now has some benefits for money savings. You'll get the 10% discount on the purchase of $399 or more for our black friday/cyber monday sale. You'll also get a free cylinder pre-press mold with the hr10t35v for the FC release promo.
I make my own rosin, even with caregiver purchased buds, for about $12/gr or less, home grown material obviously much much less. Compared to the $20/gr I was paying for BHO, in my situation I was able to pay for my entire press in a matter of a few months as I don't consume flower for medicine, only concentrates.
