I learned that one after searching the store forever looking for cheese cloth one time.

we haven't had a Safeway here in like 25 years. Even though they own most of the grocery stores out here.

Dude where in Cali are you..? What do you have instead? Lucky? Nob Hill? Ralph?

cali... Ralphs, albertson, pavillions, vons, stater bros. then the gourmet stores like trader joes, sprouts, jensens, gelsons.
Never heard of nob hill. No kroger here either. But kroger owns albertsons I think. I see kroger brand products there.
Albertsons bought out Lucky's like 12 years ago

It's not like I'm gonna hunt you down in Cali lol.. But for sure Cali. I think Nob hill for me is Ralphs for you. See with us, Lucky got bought out by Albertsons late 90's. Then they got re-bought out like is 2005 where they wen't back to being called Luckys. We too have trader joes and Sprouts (which is pretty damn legit).

I thought you said where are you, Cali?. I misread that. I'm in SoCal in the Coachella valley. Its hot as shit out here..
theres a few trolls on here that would probably try and find me. They can't stop posting about me. Trying to instigate b.s.

Thanks for this link. I am going to be buying an iron and those in the next week or so. I have a ton of hash that isn't full melt and would love to turn it into a shatter consistency.

I am, it's even in my profile. I am in NorCal. San Jose. Dude it's hot here too but damnnnn not that hot! We hitting about ~80f here.
There probably are trolls like that, but me personally that's not me and anybody who saw me post for the last 2-3 years would know. Hell I lent a member on here almost $2k to help with his needs lol. Takes to long to hate on people, it's just easier to get a long with people.

So I finshed doing the tea bag tech, this time what I did was cut up the tea bag into sheets. Put the hash in the middle,twist, and make a little parachut bomb. Worked a lot better than how I did it the first time

Do you guys recommend getting a heat laser thing? Or just plug in the iron let it get hot on the low setting and use that?
This is the one I was looking at getting:

I got a heat laser gun. It works up to a point. I seem to have to shoot the laser at the hair straightener on the corner edge to get a accurate reading...otherwise it reads 95-104f when its really 300f. Also if you check it on a reflective surface you won't get a reading which happened to me when I bought 2 pieces of shiny metal and kept reading 80f when I checked it.

I'm not sure if I'm living in a parallel universe or something, but I've purchased several brand new and none have ceramic plates. I do have a remington, S800i, it is older though but it does have aluminum plates. One of the new 1" models SAID it was ceramic, but the plates are simply aluminum with a coating like the others.
Have you actually taken them apart to confirm the entire plate assembly is solid ceramic? I can find plenty of pictures of aluminum plates with coatings but I can't find any pictures of solid ceramic plates. Looking around for replacement parts and they are all just the standard aluminum plate with imbedded heating element like all the irons I have.
With the amount of pressure we are putting on these things I'm wondering how ceramic isn't cracking and shattering? Even the aluminum plates I'm using are showing signs of warping and crushing and that's just with body-weight, A ceramic heating element is different than a ceramic plate too, as you an have a ceramic heating element inside of an aluminum plate.
I'm not saying they don't exist but I've yet to see one, in person or online, do you have any pictures that show the solid ceramic plate? Like I said before I've been looking around for ceramic plates for awhile with zero luck so if you can point me in the right direction I'd be a happy camper! I had just assumed the "ceramic plate" was marketing speak for "ceramic coating" since that's the only thing I've been able to find.
For example:
http://www.amazon.com/Allure-Tech-100-Solid-Ceramic/dp/B00CRKIHKG
Listed as "solid ceramic flat iron" then the discription states:
"100% ceramic plated"

I pressed 1 gram with a 25u and 4 grams with 90u. I got almost double off the 90u compared to the 25u. I pressed just the lower grade from 25u, 160u, 190u. Using the 25u screen the rosin was more sappy. Using 90u, it was more shatte . Oh and those slick sheets suck for rosin. I lost probably 0.3 to rosin I couldn't get up.
Anyway 5 grams total pressed. Got 3 grams of rosin
My bubble came out so good I didn't want to press bubble from the other screens.

Interesting results @hyroot what temp n press time did you use? The picture shown is the 25u and 90u screen rosin combined?
It's funny you mention how the screen size made a slight consistency change. When I used the 25u with hash I got more of a sappy product compared to use a tea bag where it was more shattery n actually a slight light color change.
Why did the slick sheets suck? Just wondering, never used them always used parchment. But I thought people like the slick sheets.

Temp about 250.
The rosin wouldn't come off the slick sheet completely whether I put in the freezer or let it sit or put it up to the a/c vent.
The 90u screen definitely did better all around than the 25 u. With the 90u I was getting 4-5 presses per 0.4
I just folded the screen over. Didn't make a tea bag. Didn't twist it up or anything. I did roll the hash into a ball before pressing though.
Yes it's both combined.
