i got my new chamber! i unboxed it and greased the seal and tried it out. first off it for very nice to be able to have the proper screw fitting on there to connect to the pump. with my glass chamber i just stuck the 1/4" line over the threads of the inlet and it didnt feel the greatest. also the lid on this chamber has a slot for the seal in it so it sits down perfect onto the seal without having to align it. it looked to me like the lid was flat with a seal on it in the picture and i thought it would be a pain to line up so the groove is a plus.
the picture on ebay must be how he use to make these because mine was setup a little different (if anything it's a good thing). the gauge is on the intake right below the ball valve rather than on the lid and the release valve is now on the lid.
i like this unit a lot. this gauge looks like a cheapy, but it seems to work... the chamber holds a full vac pretty well so far. right now i've had it sealed up at -26.5 hg for an hour and it hasnt moved. sadly im a little above 3000' in elevation so i can't pull a full -29.5 vac. the 26.5 is almost exactly what i should be getting. people at sea level must be able to do what im doing in half the time. haha
i will probably run a small batch in this chamber tomorrow to test it out.
Low heat and a good whip always makes Crumbly wax..
I dont even make wax any more it takes too long and I prefer shatter/sap any day.Even vac purged honeycomb is taney because all your doing when you whip is aggitate the butane..Turn one bubble into hundreds...
I used to think this too!!in my 5 years of BHO production i have found that the consistecy of the end product depends on the strain and the quality of material.
Using the exact same technique i have produced countless different variations of BHO.
Disclaimer, I am not vacuum purging, yet.
I'm going to try to make a step by step on how I do it and put it up.. Hopefully I could help you out
