I had read somewhere about people beefing them up somehow.
I googled briefly but now I cant find it.

But do you feel it could be remedied with a welder and some plate steele?
Or is it something you can just live with?
Oh yeah you can definitely reinforce them if you have the know how. It really isn't that hard either, main thing is just having tools and parts ect.
I use to be a journeyman steel fabricator so I could but honestly just havent felt like fucking with it. Maybe stupid on my part, I dont push it too hard though.
I honestly dont think I'll have problems with it. Just kind of giving out a fair warning.

Yes, it does if going into cartridges. If you don’t, you’ll get around 1-10 hits and then it won’t hit anymore. I wasted allot of time and money figuring it out. When I started fucking around with this, no one was saying shit. Consider yourself lucky :-)

Winterizing doesn’t seem to be necessary if going into a vape tank on a box mod. I like the cloud baby beast. When I was doing this, I was doing 50/50 with the liquidizer. Big ass clouds, get baked quick.

Nowadays I’m making distillate and into ccell carts.
Thx for the input

I think it was @DemonTrich on here who recommends upgrading the grade 4 bolts to grade 10 on them harborfreight presses.
Yeah I remember that now that you mention it.
Forgot all about that, I would also recommend that.
Mine only have two 4 or 5 inch bolts holding the top on I believe.
With about an inch or so of slopp between the steal frame channels on each end of the press.



I guess now really thinking about it, does sound really unsafe.
That slop in the frames makes a breaking point on those bolts. I'll have to check it out tomorrow and probably do a little fucking with it.

Four extra flat bar steal cross braces, on the face and rear, one each side, drill and bolt on.
May even help keep it stay square and not flex so much. Probably lucky something hasn't happened so far actually. 24,000 lbs is a lot of weight.

Piece of steel channel blasting through the floor and roof of my house is the last thing I need LOL

I’ve got Steele, mig welder, grinders etc. I’ll get around to fixing mine if it’s weak. If I can weld Harley frames I think I can handle an H frame. Great thread here man!

Be sure to let us know the quality!
I'm wondering if the issues with mine is maybe a fluke.

At my old job 1/32 of an inch was the most allowance. Measurements on mine gotta be about an inch too wide on my channels up top.
I may put it together tonight. The one in the store was loosely put together and the gaps about1/16-1/8 “. Maybe yours was packaged on a Friday..... lol I’ll buy upgraded bolts tomorrow

Box mod? Those are the large square vaporizers? I’ll winterize my rosin.... and use the cheap pens. I’ve got a bunch of people asking for cartridges and this thread is getting me on track. Thx a bunch

OK I’ve been looking at magnetic stir plates, Am I supposed to buy one that is heated? Would that help me winterize my heat press Rosin

I posted this over on fuckcumbustion yesterday. I make mine with shatter and Wax Liquidizer. I also add a TINY amount of terps. I love it, it's discreet, easy, and potent. My problem is finding pens that don't leak all over.

I make the shatter first (Everclear) and then place 1 gram into a large sized dram with 2 mils of Wax Liquidizer and a 1/2 a drop of lemon terp. I make sure the cap is nice and tight and then I fill a coffee cup with a little water, enough to submerge the dram up to the liquid. I place it in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time, until the shatter has mixed completely with the Liquidizer.

So, I got a Rubi pen in the mail just now and it's charging. I have the tank filled and everything looks good. I did have someone tell me this about the Rubi, however:

"I have not had my Rubi leak but in all honesty it sucks with what you are making for it. I actually have the same mix and just don't get great hits out of it. My 1st tank made gurgling noises every hit , my second tank I made just never put out good vapor. I think the carts are not designed for our thc ejuice as i have read around the web and many had the same issue. I'm wishing you luck though , maybe they re-did the tanks , mine are from when it 1st came out. Please post some results ."

I am hoping that it may have something to do with the quality of the concentrate. I have had some that was really cloudy with shit floating in it. This shatter came out very pure, if not a tad dark. It dabs nicely!

How do you winterize your extract? Everclear?? In the freezer, filter and evaporate the rest off? Sorry if I missed something

Those are significantly more expensive than the ones I got but yes they look similar.



These current cartridges I'm using hit good. I found PEG 400 hit like shit, in terms of vapor volume and taste. Just picked up 1000ml of Wax Liquidizer for $270 shipped in two days... gonna last a long ass time.
How’s the wax liquidizer taste?

What distillate machine do you use ? Just curious.... It seems like most of the stuff is just your general chemistry lab equipment I could be wrong but that’s what it looks like

I went with a 2L setup from usalabequipment. Making a batch as I type :-)

How is the wax liquidizer
No complaints here. Mixes just fine. I dont use it with my distillate though. I put the distillate straight into carts, or with up to 5% terps.
