cant we just wire up the plates from 10 or twenty hair presses into one big ceramic squisher? try and buy them before they put the plastic casings on them

HMK would you mind sharing the model of hair iron you used for the Irwin squisher?
I think the screw mounting holes you described would be much easier than trying to rig something to get the plates from my iron to stay put.

its the cheaper conair, it has a dial that goes from 1-25. i believe the one that is called "pro", has a higher temperature, not sure if it goes as low as well.
This conair press, i have seen in the exact same shape and features in other brands as well. As in it has been rebranded, not sure who made the first one everyone uses.

i might have mentioned the plastic cases break over time, but i havent broken a ceramic heater yet.
so you used the plastic mounting bracket that comes on the back of the hair iron plates to fix them to the pad of the Irwin?
I thought yours might have screw holes right on the backside of the heating plates.
I've been shattering those plastic brackets pretty quick under augmented pressure.

no, i just use the ceramic plates, no plastic from the hair press.
Seriously, can I get a pic of the plate yoir talking about please? I wanna see if it's a straight slab or ceramic of if it has a metal bracket or housing of some kind.
Ok I just went back and looked again at your old post, I got it now. Is the clamp face small or the plate is slightly large? Guess I'll find out when I go town next ehehehe!

its crazy how many hmk presses are probably now in circulation. i know i am making one...
So many ways to skin this cat
those quick grips are awesome, I've been using a small one(100lbs I think) and I've been getting a noticeably higher return, from the eye test standpoint anyways.
you need to take a closer look or read more maybe, as the picture shows, and i mentioned that there are four screws through the rubber mounting bracket on the quick grip press, that i took out of the ceramic plates. they have four screws with screw holes in them, and the holes are well enough aligned you can reuse them and the screws( i had to use a couple longer screws from the press too) to attach the ceramic plates.
My bad, I was simply going off the picture you have on your profile as that was all I had seen. Didn't know you documented all the stuff you had done. Kudos for not doing things I thought you had done.
Its all good man. Im a noob and should have gone through the thread instead of getting stoner envy from awesome tech.
As for the ceramic plates from the conair. Have you looked into a way of lowering the power consumption so they produce less heat? Im hoping its an easy enough feat to accomplish.

They are adjustable, maybe you mean even lower yet? I believe there's one that goes to down to 180F, idk which. Try using a dimmer of the appropriate wattage resistance you think you need and let us know if it worked?
I think it's good to have control but more power/max wattage to you don't get a big temp drop initially.

I realize this is just one anecdote, my opinion, and not proof of anything. And I do not want to take anything away from the people who are developing this tech, and doing the R&D. I am always grateful to the pioneers and the engineers that advance the science of the herb.
My buddy and I tried this a couple of weekends ago. We used some dried buds that we cut into 1g pieces and squeezed them with a hair straightener.
We got on average 2 small dabs per piece. And I mean small. Most of you would probably call it one dab per gram. The dabs were smooth and strong. Very tasty. No complaints on that front.
But I honestly don't see how this can be scaled up to make it worthwhile. Unless you're just doing it for yourself, if you know what I mean.
