New extraction technique? Rosin tech?

[MJtheIndicator]

I don't think its as much an issue of how to mold or if ceramic is an even steady heat surface, but rather an issue of how much pressure it can stand. My thought is that a ceramic molded with a titanium rebar might be less apt to break.

If I am not mistaken, the hair straighteners are a ceramic coated metal plate with a thermistor heating element in back. Shouldn't be too expensive to make a bigger model.

Here is a shot of the inside of mine.

$15,000 for a production run of 1- 100 custom heaters so 100 heaters costs 15,000, so does 5....

Tooling costs apparently to build.

I brought that point up to my friend, ablut the strength of ceramic. I said it needed to handle atleast 2k psi and he assures me it'd be no problem. I personally have no clue but he's a machinist and seems to know and he was the one that suggested it, not me. I wanna pack a lot of coils in there. For big presses you need a lot of juice to keep up with the huge amount of initial heat loss. So I'm not too worried about it heating evenly although my friend also assured me it would heat very evenly.

The 5... and tooling cost is confusing to me. Say what now?

150 per plate? And they can be digitally controlled? Making the plates heat evenly with the controller is a bit of a trick. I heard a little bird song one time ablut needing to have the thermocouple inside the coil wires. Idk if that meant like it was the core of the wire itself or if it was just a really long thermocouple wire that's just ran through the middle of all the coils.

I hope your not getting that qoute from China. I'd never want to buy anything like that from them because I don't want to be constantly having to warranty the plates. If china was the choice you can get cast iron plates made for fairly cheap and a ss surface could easily be added.

fwiw I cracked my ceramic hair straightener the first half oz. it was in pieces by the end of that oz.

of course I'm sure your plates will be much thicker if made for this specific application.

I've been using a titanium plate hair iron since then.

Welp, just under $4K for the Rosin Tek press. Ouch!

and after seeing it in person at chalice I was literally laughing when I walked past it...a machine the size of a mini fridge with a pressure plate that was only slightly larger than a hair straightener!!! LOL get it while the getting's good I suppose, I literally walked away laughing...but the booth was crowded.

According to the site, there'll be different sized plates for purchase....but damn!

hahaha HMK yesssssss that is what's up!

how did you attach the plates? glue?

here's what I've been working with:

Hee, hee, hee, snicker, snark, snort....................

Let the innovation begin!

i fucking LOVE stoner ingenuity...

thanks heady, your setup is cool too. Actually there are 4 screws in the back of the ceramic plates, i had to use a couple longer ones but i screwed the rubber press parts from the press onto the the ceramic plates.

Ever ponder how we picked up the "Heads" handle??

 

[billy_big_bud!]

not until now grey wolf. food for thought...

Ran out of screen. decided to play around with Slick Sheet (PTFE)

Gotta say I LOVE this. , same yields, DIRECTIONAL squeeze if i desire it.

Dry, Old Herbs is what I have to play with.

Ground up and piled onto a piece of Slick Sheet.



for this one, I basically rolled a super tight fatty in Slick Sheet, then folded the edges under, and PREpressed it in my clamp.

 

[GanjaPharma]

Then I made a series of holes (with a needle) down one side of the packet...trying for a unidirectional press.



folded into a Slick Pad DUO and 8 second squeeze



Perfect result

 

[GanjaPharma]

next attempt I made a pouch of ganja, into a tight flat packet. holes ALL AROUND


similar result...just oil on all sides.

no test w keif yet, not sure about them holes

Great job! I love the innovation this place cranks out.
