why r u heatinh ur nail that hot???
Heating your nail to 1800F?
I let mine get to where it just begins to glow red, then I shut off the torch, let the red dissipate, and dab.
I get the best flavor from that. Oil tastes shitty off glowing red nails anyway. Most experienced dabbers know this..

um . . .. . no
Peacepipe ordered some after they saw I had one.
thank you!
Its funny how folks who have never gave quartz an honest chance (it ain't cheap to try) already think Ti is superior and/or tasteless. It took me a long time, and finding the right quartz nail, to believe what Julio told me three years ago: Quartz when used properly tastes better, but you have to do smaller dabs at the right temp and its blind. Meaning we let the nail cool to the correct temp, but there is no glow to watch so it has to be from experience.
To be fair there are very little facts on either side of the Ti business. I've been told, when asking about Highly Educated in groups to "trust in Task". In reality vaporizing hash oil off Ti is relatively new and we are the lab rats in this experiment. I'd like to think the protective and healing powers of cannabis oil vapor balance out any negative affects from vaping off Titanium 20+ times per day ... hehSo your basic point is you don't trust manufacturers to use grade 1 or 2 titanium, because there is a slight chance they lie to everybody?
No scientific facts?
Highly Educated seems like a good company. And I don't think it's very difficult to secure a good supply of medical grade titanium for these big manufacturers.. I'll keep torching my v2.
I hear working with quartz is the major hurdle in the spread of domeless quartz nails, very few have the skill and time.
I'll just say it and try to not be rude about it. From my experience the harbor freight vacuums are seriously inferior compared to larger, and more expensive, vacuum pumps like the ones from JB and Yellowjacket. A deeper vac allows you to purge in a shorter amount of time at lower temps, resulting in more flavor retention and potentially a more complete purge. Once I upgraded from harborfreight to JB my erlz stepped up in terms of stability and flavor. Plus the lack of cut-off valve on the harborfreight series can lead to vacuum oil contaminating the chamber. All professional vacs have cut off valves built in, for keeping the contents under vacuum while the vac is off.
Word, no I understand completely - Harbor Freight is entry level. I usually tell people new to vacuums to try out the harbor freight because it's idiot proof (minus the cut off valve). For instance - you can drop the Harbor freight pump from above your head, or into the pool, and destroy it because your a dumbass. However, as long as you spent $20 on the warranty, in addition to the $150 for the pump, you can go get a new one and keep purging and learning.
That's my reasoning for continually suggesting the Habor Freight, at least.

My reasoning is that many people are unwilling to even spend the $150 on a pump, and would rather whip terrible hash oil than spend any money. Yuck. No thanks I don't want to try your "budder".
So yes, I always tell people to drop the $150+20 for a harbor freight 2 stage, and to make sure to add the extra time required to make sure it's fully purged. If they find they like making hash oil then I would always recommend buying a closed system and a better pump. But the most people start out on open systems with entry level vacuums. 2 stage $150 vacuum is always better than a 1 stage $70 vacuum I say.
As for my own information, what do you recommend for someone like me who is pretty used to this stuff by now? I'm on my second harbor freight and ready to upgrade for non commercial, personal use. I've seen pumps ranging from $400-$1000 but I'm not sure which would be the most appropriate for vacuum purging oil. I've been meaning to get a new one, but haven't had any crops to run until now. Also didn't feel like making a blind purchase one night.
Thanks for contributing, brother. I'm sure everyone reading, including myself appreciates it.
