Hey SD what kind of griddle are you using?
I use a very very cheap model.
Rival, deep dish griddle, Wall-Mart... 16$
Bag of All Purpose sand,50 lb is 3.50$ @Home Depot.
I suggest cleaning the sand using a giant plastic strainer.
There are lots of rocks and other shit.
But combining those two
very inexpensive items...I'm able to adjust my temps in 1-2° increments.
I got my rheostat memorized..
Little turns of the knob right at the” warm setting”..exactly on warm...
The temp of the oil is 115°
I can then adjust temps accordingly, in order to get the oil molten enough for gas evacuation.
Keep in mind, different strains produce different levels of viscosity, this must be accounted for and temps should be adjusted to accommodate the viscosity of the oleoresin (or concrete).
War, I'd love to see what you could do with a vac and chamber,
Save a few bucks here and there and before you know it you've got enough to buy a vac and a chamber.
Do it bro
Lol..
Jkjk....
just a lot easier than Mityvac..
Believe me, I've done both...
