The system i assembled was short one viewing port, the models he advertises on IG have two......the sight glass with the adequate seals seemed a little wanky, and proved to be faulty when it leaked after a few runs. This plays into teflon being a harder gasket to form a seal with. We'll torque it down a little more but I'm surprised this passed a "pressure test"....where ya at Redbeard??? We are all busy, that is no excuse to ignore the forum which played a crucial role in your "success" and potential demise......

At least yours came with one, lol. he advertised that all his new systems would have the latest, just not my 1lber. He did say there was no room though, had i known that instead going by his advertisement i would have went for the bigger system.
PPK'ers Unite!!! hahaha

bit off topic but im just curious, has any one pulled #2 per light with a PPK system? Not putting it down, just wondering if any one has had any real success with it. If so shoot me a link to the tread.

Decided to stop lurking to finally post a comment regarding RB. I actually purchased one of his units when he was first selling them before the significant price drop he had. RB is not thorough with the way he does his business because he has forgotten so many things in my orders. He's a nice guy when he wants to be, but he can also be quite abrasive. When a mistake is made by him, he just says "my partner screwed up" and never seems to care to take any responsibility for his the screw up. In the last few months, I think there are far better options appearing than RB, but it's too late now! I probably wouldn't buy from him again but I'm glad I didn't fork out 5k+ for just a single lb system.
Just got my 2.5 and 5 lb units. Promised my other 2 next week. Overall he was very apologetic; seemed like a good guy. Even though the order was paid on the 5th of April, and it's been a little over two months, I appreciate him trying to make things right. I'll post pics up in a day or so
Yes, he's definitely trying to make things right. just got my 6x12 spool today, that was quick!

RB fell off the map
A fair number of Mk IIIA's and Mk IV owner's around, so it might be easier to find one of those in No Cal, some of which were trained in Portland.
If you can't locate one, Portland is gorgeous this time of year and WolfWurx will explain how to operate either your Redbeard or a Mk IVB Terpenator for the cost of breakfast.
For in depth hands on training, Specialized Formulations tutors for hire using Mk III's or a WolfWurx Mk IVB. If you drove and brought yours down, I'm sure they would be happy to demonstrate it as well.
Well that sucks.
I very nearly ordered one in April too, Glad I didn't bother if your only just getting units. 2 months delivery with no emails is real tough. I would of been pissed.
Wouldn't it be better for RB to come on here and tell his customers what's what?
There is easy 3 lost orders on the last couple of pages, not including mine.
RB is still bad mouthing any company that isn't his. He just called all the other companies unsafe and morons on IG(only place he feels safe as he can ban people). Terp extractors defended them selves and he banned em, along with others who also spoke of their horrible experiences. I have zero respect for this guy now, I could care less how good his machines are. treating your customers the way he did is inexcusable.
RB if your reading this, you can go shove that ban hammer where the sun dont shine. Grow up and admit to your mistakes, you fucked up, not everyone else. I use to tell people about your great machines, now i tell them what a unorganized asshole you are. I dont see your business lasting long.

Yah I saw his post, what a dousche. What else do you expect to come out of Sacramento?
The essential oil extractor market is wide open for everyone, but only a few will survive, for a litany of reasons. Some despite the best intentions and efforts, as well as moral charter and some by business suicide.
For those of ya'll hankering to join in, I offer the following observations.
80% of all new businesses fail in the first two years.
There is more than one way to approach the market window for essential oil extractors, and the fish trap exists only because of the fish.
The choice of business style is a fish trap and usually clearly reveals the assumptions followed, as well as the nature of the fish sought.
If your fish is all the low hanging fruit, with no intent of harvesting repeat business, your tactics need not nurture your customer relationship. Grab the money and run!
If on the other hand, it is your intent to nurture an image as a backbone in the industry, that people think of first, your fish trap is designed to not start off with pissed off customers, and to not casually either ignore them, or tell them to take a hike for being unreasonable.
Using the principle of OPM. If you collect a lot of Other Peoples Money up front, you can place a larger import order, and make more money faster.
The down side is that nothing coming by boat from China will go smoothly or as planned, so there will be inevitable delays.
Having someone available to contact that list of customers and hold their hand while they tell you how disappointed and inconvenienced they are repeatedly, to make sure you understand, therefore becomes a cost of business when conducting affairs in that manner.
Such hand holding is damage control, not to be endearing to customers, but not close to the turn off that, "WTF just happened to my money and the person that charmed me out of it?", draws from the customers deepest primal emotions.
A fish trap designed to denigrate and devalue the competition, rather than promote why your product has more utility at the margin, suggests that your product and service has no attributes to sell that are better than the competition, so it is necessary to downgrade the competitions image to improve the odds.
One thing that I've clearly learned in 70 plus years, is that actions are what is real and words are manipulated by most of us cunning linguist.
If you want to know a persons underlying beliefs and assumptions, just watch and see what fish traps they design, and their actions over time.
Wishing everyone jumping in the best of luck, but add the caveat to not forget the people part of conducting such a business and plan for it in your business plan.
If you don't possess such charm and patience yourself, hire someone that does
Also that most businesses fail due to underfunding, so don't base your business plan on sitting on other peoples money, because there will be less and less of it available as word gets out.
