Once again one of my go to dispensaries was shut down in the name of "legalization" and I was left searching. I don't want to support the gov't monopoly and their sub par quality with way too high of prices.

Luckily one of my friends is working for an online dispensary, so I gave them a try this time. Storefront is nice because you get to check out the product before purchasing. But without the extra costs that come with storefront, online can be way cheaper. Got an 1/8 of each

Organic Death Bubba


Kosher Kush


Organic Pink Kush


Purple Space Cookies


And they even threw in a first order gift of a gram of blonde kief for free.


Good prices and free delivery with orders over $100, I think I found my new place.

@LabPong @EconMan

I'll pass the praises on, close up of the gum for you,

3g nug

Couldn't help but pick up a new mod for my Splinter Z v2 that came in today

I'll have to post some updates once I get a chance to test it out.

Can confirm , this guy has been a pleasure to deal with so far. I just ordered myself one and cannot wait to try it out.

Damn.......wow......I just tested a small larf bud off one of three Gorilla SFV OG's (to be harvested next week)......I think I am going to really like this strain. I have been enjoying every strain with a mix of GG in it.......my next grow which is in veg now for 2 more weeks will have 3 Gorilla Zkittles......I can not wait! I need to get some Grease Monkey fems next.

Totally forgot to document the last batch so here's the bud that's just landed


Half of chocolope
Zed of blueberry gum
Can't wait to get tucked into these later they smell delicious.

Thank you! <3
The housing and the 510 connector got a double o-ring connection. I dont use any adhesives.
The vape is stainless steel and wood only! Plus the high temperature silicone o-ring for the mouthpiece seal. There is stainless steel and glass only in the airflow to make it 100% safe for usage.

The Musa 510 does not require any cleaning except the glass mouthpiece. (dont grind your herb to dust, so nothing will fall through the fine screen inside the vape)

The glass mothpiece delivers the purest possible flavor! BTW: i use the arizer glass stems.

According to the heater: it doesnt glow while drawing, but it glows slightly while preheat. That is no reason to concern at all! :)
(the picture shows only one o-ring applied at the 510 connection, because i needed an easier access to the coil when i was taking the picture)

Hello fellows!

let me introduce you to the Musa 510. Its a convection based dry herb vaporizer (also works for concentrates).
Im based in Germany (Munich) and open for any questions!

Im looking forward to have some conversations with you guys!
Best regards, Tobias

Back on track!! My buddy grew some cookies kush and gave me an O to play with and see what I get. Well 6.2 grams later (22% yield) and I got this spectacular wax.

7 grams at a time. 180f, 4 min total. 1 minute hold at 25%, then I make it taught but I can still see the bag with about 4 millimeters space. Then incrementally every 15 seconds I make it taught. At 3:30 I max it out to about 8-9T and leave it for 30 seconds. Then I give it once more for good measure and to add space before releasing pressure.

Right off the press:


This is before closing for the night:


And this is 24 hour cure later:


SO YUMMY

There was a secondhand Nomad sold on Reddit a few weeks ago for an undisclosed sum. The seller of this Nomad commented on that thread that he had spent a year on the waiting list and that his spec had cost him $400, so he was looking for a profit of $200.

I don’t have any issue with that. It’s simple supply and demand. If someone thinks it’s good value and is prepared to pay the asking price that’s entirely up to them.

I don’t have an issue with those that don’t think it’s good value either, as it’s entirely subjective. I don’t think that they should post their views however and ruin the chance of a sale for the OP.

:groan:

This is my harvest this year, sucks i had to chop early but its still some nice smoke/vape

@EconMan ill have to read that article later, i have never been picky over sativa/indica i dont know if its just me but i just get stoned lol.
If i need to stay up i get stoned and stay up if i need to sleep i can get stonee and sleep too.

When im buying it i buy on smell and look alone pretty much if it makes me feel good when i stick my nose in the bag and take a wiff im in :joke:
I use concentrates for when i want to get super blasted that would be the equation of my "indica"

Well, I'm not thrilled with the business practices. Was going to buy one and check it out. Then backed out as I got turned off.

His passive disclaimer -- "ACCIDENT WAIVER AND RELEASE OF LIABILITY" -- is 100% bullshit.
All retail sales by law force an "implied warranty of merchantability" and "implied warranty of applicability for a particular purpose."
If a defective lawn mower cuts off my feet while using it, it doesn't matter if the manufacturer inserts a passive disclaimer pre-denying blame into the box. Regardless, they ARE to blame. Now if someone scalps themselves trying to give themselves a haircut with the defective mower, then that is not a reasonable application of the lawn mower's purpose. So the disclaimer on his page is meaningless, except makes me worry he knows something we don't? Clearly, he is worried folks will hurt themselves using his product.

As a consumer it's 100% offensive.
It's also against VISA/MC ToS, various interstate commerce regulations, FTC rules, and jurisprudence in general.
If a defective torch explodes in someone's face, that disclaimer means nothing. No merchant bank I work with (or have ever worked with) would give a merchant account to someone who has such an official statement related to products being sold. One of the first documents we would want to see is proof of insurance against such potential claims (insurance company's may want to see test data). Failure to possess the insurance would indicate a very risky business perhaps incapable of sustaining business activity and therefore increasing the probability of credit card fraud for the merchant bank.

The rules for classifieds, shown in the OG post of this thread, have now been updated.

These rules were originally written when PMs were disabled and called for use of private emails for subsequent communications. This is no longer the case.

NOW, all original classified posts will be locked for further comment in the thread and all subsequent communications about the classified offering must be via PM.

Also, if your Sell/Buy/Trade has concluded, please contact via PM either @Cl4ud3 or @Baron23 and they will change the title to reflect the status as being CLOSED

This is all reflected in the OG post above.

if you guys just squish at 180 like I always say you wouldn't have to worry about it being on the plates an extra minute. :)

Old thread, New press :starstruck:

Ok, guys...this has gotten a bit out of hand and I would like to engage you to work with me to calm it down a bit.

@hapo - you backed out of the deal, so please stay out of this guy's classified ad. If you are not buying or at least inquirying, you don't need to post in this thread

" - we do tend to distinctly frown on calling people names (e.g. "idiot") no matter the level of frustration. If you want to continue to sell here, please try to take on a more professional manner. Yes, people will try your patience....in which case patience and restraint are required.

Carry on.

I bought after watching Troy's review. It's great for cold start dabs and cleaning with Dark Crystal is a breeze. In fact I have shelved my Carta until atomizers are more of a solid product. I went through 2 in the first month :(.

It wont replace a torch and banger for hot dabs but if you do cold start dabs, want a nice case and a unique glass piece, $220 isnt bad. It's way cheaper to buy your own setup but it is worth it to me for the organization of the Rio with the case and caps etc...

my problem w the carta peak etc is also how safe are the atomizers. I have seen all kinds of pics of burnt plastic and wires etc..... This is why glass and torch are appealing i know its clean and made properly. Carta peak and such seem made w cheap materials lots of plastic....yuckkkk. Also all reviews on the rio are saying its great. Not one bad review can i find from anyone who has one.

I've shelved it a few times but it always lands right back on my desk.

When it comes to the perfect dab, I still prefer dropping a quartz insert into a hot banger.
But the Rio is SO FAST. I can load a dab, heat it, inhale it, cough my face off, reheat it, and clean the banger in less than a minute and a half.

The torch is extremely consistent up until the last 3 or 4 dabs of the fill, and a freshly filled torch will power through 79 dabs.

Sometimes I have to adust the banger or the torch to get the best alignment, but it's extremely minor.

To be honest my biggest complaint about the Rio is the percolator - for a bong that size it has a slight chunkyness to its chug.

heh?
I'm probably not the MOST serious dabber here... but i gotta say the Rio is one of my favorites.
I've pushed more than 300 dabs through it and it sits on my desk daily.

There's no issue with any of the things you mentioned. Burnt dabs are a result of user error.

35mm banger with zach brown v2 carb cap. 3mm thick walls heat up evenly and quickly. Very easy to use for large and small dabs.

25mm thick bottom banger. The thick bottom allows for longer heat retention and gives you a longer time between torching.

small thick walls and bottom banger. Very hard to work with and imo not worth it

thermal wall banger relies on air for heat transfer (very tasty but not the best)

bangers do break

version 2 of the core reactor has a thick bottom and taller quartz post. Best taste

Core reactor banger original version

It’s my 71 LT1 convertible, sold it when I bought the UltraGlide and trailer. Wife’s is a 70 4 speed, not for sale, lol. Yes, you have given me permission to show off, lol, lol.

I'm so glad you like your Dabpress!! They really have the right product for the right price. I love my NV press, and yeah all American manf, but Dabpress makes a great product at an more affordable price and that's hard to argue with.

We have discussed this many times and I fully agree.....the goal is not just yield but rather quality and its not at all unusual to get mid teen returns.

But fuck....I wanna know how all of those folks were getting mid-20's with their wife's hair straightener and a Craftsman bench vice! hahaha

So, I got a good return and that satisfied that particular itch.

I do think my tech has improved some....again, mostly over pressing it. But I still think the key is the bud...then the bud....then the bud! haha

That fresh pressed rosin, with less time/temp/esp pressure yielded a much more tasty rosin.

And I will go lower on temp with this Birthday Cake next time and see if I can get a more buttered up consistency.

Have a great day, guys.

Weedeater order just came through, very happy to have everything come in one piece, the packaging, ect actually was very nice, I think I even got hooked up with extra screens, all the material feels really good, very high quality,
Now its time to give it a whirl tonight,

Got alot of weed to be eaten tonight and look foward to some real extensive testing, i have some homework to do tonight, this is gonna be fun!!, looking foward .

looking good man, gratz!! And I"d go even lower, like I NEVER squish above 190.

Nice @Baron23!

To give people perspective on the size of the Dabpress 3 ton. I honestly thought it was bigger, I’m glad it’s not, it’s perfect as is for me.
In a closet and in front of my vape cave couch

@Gman @EconMan , et al

fucking at last. Haha

Birthday Cake, about 30% THCA.

Yield on first squish was 26.9% and I know how to tare a scale.

Second squish was negligible but worth doing. It’s that little dab on the right.

Color not shown that well in pic, in reality it’s Carmel colored

Also, a bit sticky. More pull-pull than pull-snap. Not sure what to do about that but will pop in the fridge.

Squished bare bug in paper. No pre-processing.

200F w 30 sec preheat, 2 min squish slowly using pressure until I had about 1,500 psi on the puck.



I like it. I believe that in general I have been using too much pressure (and maybe heat) and driving rosin into the paper and perhaps boiling some off. That or maybe this is my magic strain to press. I def getting better results with indica types than sativa.

I squished some Sour Tangie the other night. Def sativa like effects but it was a fairly dense and well formed bud. But wow, I was able to collect it but just barely. Came out very dark and oily....PIA to handle but wowser...the effects were outstanding!! Didn't taste that good...very sour....but it packed a punch. With that strain, I would def go less heat, less pressure, and less time.

One of my challenges is that I have a press good for squishing half ounces while I mostly squish just for personal use. The rub is in the BVA pressure. Its a 10K psi hydro cylinder and I would wish the gauge to be higher resolution so I can see better the pressure being put on when I'm really operating in the 1K psi on the gauge range. I mean, the gauge is good in that it goes up to 10k, but I would prefer an expanded scale for lower pressure pressing.

I know I can find another gauge, but while I know there are ball check valves in the hose connections, I don't think there is one on the gauge connection which would mean draining the hydro fluid out and replacing it....no, don't want to do that.

Next highest was one squish of 20%, but this is the first high yielding squish that I really felt in control of and I'm happy with both qty and quality.

Cheers

So, this is my take on it....water is indeed a solvent for those compounds that will dissolve in it.

One chemistry def of solvents is the substance of the greater amount in a solution. That is, for any solution, the most stuff is the solvent and the lesser is the solute.

And yes, water is called the universal solvent because more substances dissolve in water than pretty much any substance.

But water is NOT a solvent for MJ...and in particular for THC. Sorry, just not.

And the water used in making bubble hash is not used as a solvent either. Its merely a carrier for parts of the plant shaken loose by mechanical agitation; such agitation being much more effective if very cold. But, bubble hash is the result of mech agitation and not a solute of the water.

Otherwise, you could just drop your flower in some water, come back in a while, and everything will be extracted....which we all know simply won't work at all.

Yes, I'm being a bit pedantic but nonetheless......

Now, ethyl or ISO (or other hydrocarbons) are pretty MJ solvents and that's why we clean our stuff up with them.

Ok, Mr Science is done, class dismissed! hahaha jk ;-)
