Yeah, creaking started right around the 8500 psi mark (10 long ton press, and everyone knows that a long ton=a metric ton, which is also a scale used in the shipbuilding industry. Trivia Tuesday comes early.)
Yield was decent! I need a whiteboard to keep track of things. There is a lot of resin trapped in the bag material, but I'm not sure it'll survive a dunk in EC. The pucks came out nice and crumbly tho. Will see how they clean up. Need to move the press, or make a smaller workbench for indoor use. Prolly best outdoors... It's definitely going somewhere...
There is no quibbling about the output tho. 11g in, 2.3 out, not including the blobs stuck to the floor, or the one that slingshot (slungshot? Slingshotted?) from the silicone container I was trying to clean a blob from a dab tool with...
So FlashVape send me an evaluation vape to try. And sent instructions on how to use it with resin. Firstly it's a pretty decent vape on it's own. It's portable, but tippy, so I'd call it an around the house portable, as opposed to a pocketable cycling portable, say. It's solid aluminum, outside of the glass viewport on the top where you can watch vapour form. - VapeTV is a great show! 3-5 second preheat - it's kinda like a Milaana or other on/off styles. It's both convection or conduction depending on how it's set up. It's nice for flower. But Team FV sent me instructions on how ti use it for resin, which are more difficult than they sound: "just smear a blob directly on the heater screen". It doesn't stick like that for me, so instead i drop a flat piece on top and let 'er rip. And rip she does. I kinda think of it as a portable dab station... The base looks like a baseball bat, the top like a microphone, and it's mostly nice solid metal. Smoky karaoke, cause vapy karaoke doesn't sound natural...
So the flattened 2g blob on the desk is very nice to look at, with a shimmery depth deeper than it's 1/32nd"ish outside...
Anyhoo, back to karaoke!
