How would you go about heating the solution?
there is a heat lamp on a dimmer controll we use.
You could add a heat wrap if you wanted to.

Care to share some photos. I’m curious what you have setup.
I’ll do you one better and link:

use an oil-less air compressor. run your regulator in between your air compressor and pressure pot. place the pot on heat when in use. wrap the heating element around your output line. The ada cloth gets wrapped around the barrel and powered by a thermal relay.

So far, so good.
The measuring seems to be accurate, but I recommend being patient for sleeve to heat before loading cartridges.
I’m interested in buying this but I can’t private message you!
how maney did you want? did you want us to include the repeater syringe?
Thank you for replying! I would only need one and would also need the repeater as well. How do you keep that from seizing up on you?
We use a heat lamp, but a heat wrap could be made up.

Yeah, my main concern is it seizing up on me and losing oil. I have never tackled filling carts before and was thinking about dropping the $400 for a fiftyshot before I seen your setup which looks more simplistic and designed by somebody who has experienced a lot of trial and error.

Is this the same as the distillate gun.com? I have noticed the lead time and description is exactly the same. But the gun is $100 cheaper .
I’m not one to speak negatively about a company, competitor or not. I feel competition is healthy for a market and breeds better equipment, products, and businesses. But there is a difference in competition and theft. The distillate gun literally stole the code from our website, which is why the websites looks and reads exactly the same. We were made aware of their website a while back and didn’t think much of it until we had a few customers accidently purchase from them thinking it was a discount version of our product. So we’ve had to hire an IP attorney to have our website removed from their domain. The biggest issue is their product doesn’t even have the features in the description. What they are selling is a heat pad tie wrapped to an Allflex step syringe. That’s it.
For transparency: We do use the Allflex step syringe as our metering portion of the tool, it’s a great repeater built in Germany.
Even though their website says they have an annular heat barrel, they do not. That is copy that was stolen from our website. What the annular heat barrel actually is is a custom fabricated anodized aluminum and silicone barrel that attaches to the gun with a quick release. The barrel was designed to provide a 6mm annular air space between the heating elements and the oil barrel so there is no direct contact. This airspace heats the oil with air very evenly and prevents hot spots directly under the heating elements to ever come into contact with the oil and burning terpenes. The heat barrel was also designed to heat the all metal needle which prevents viscosity lock, other tools do not offer this. The heat barrel also has a built in thermal fuse that cuts off all power should the temperature ever exceed 194f, again others do not offer this. This is important for two reasons 1) prevents you from ever accidentally burning your oil and more importantly 2) shuts off power if there is ever a failure in the control unit or thermostat which prevents the heating elements from self destructing (burning).
We also use custom made thermostats that are more sensitive and built for the proper temperature range, we use custom made noise canceling wires that prevent feedback from giving false temperature readings. Our control units are built out of anodized aluminum to dissipate heat others use rubber which insulates and trap the heat in the control unit which will shorten the lifespan of the tool.
We’ve manufactured tools for many years and have engineers (electrical and manufacturing) to design our tools and well trained electrical workers building the tools. This is all important when you have 110v in your hand and working with oils more valuable than the tools themselves.

I’ve flirted with the idea of modifying a 3d printer to fill syringes and vape cartriges. Most of the hardware is open source and can be modified. I’d like to hear form someone more qualified to confirm if this could be an option

it can and has been done.
you can purchase a number of cart filling machines that look very much 3D printers.
eg the ATG

What are your thoughts on the cart shooter from. Ypsioil
Terppin,
I have no issues with competition. Like I said, it makes better products and businesses. So I have no issues with them or anyone else. The only issue I have is with the company mentioned earlier that stole our website and is lying to their customers about their product since it doesn’t have any of the features on the stolen website. They even have our video on their website, I assume they just forgot to remove that bit of the code. What they did is theft. IP theft. It is unethical and illegal. We spent a lot of time and money building a website, writing copy and marketing pieces then they just came in and stole it with no regard to us or the customers. Now we have to spend more money on legal fees to have it removed.
A heated syringe is not a new idea, we and no one else has or can get a patent on it. We didn’t invent the concept so anyone can manufacture their own heated syringe and sell it. What we did spend a lot of time and expenses on is the engineering and manufacturing of the heat barrel system. It is patent pending and is far superior to a heat pad tie wrapped to a syringe, for all the features I mentioned earlier.

Ok if I place an order today when should I expect delivery. I know there’s a lead time
We’re running a two week lead time right now. Hopefully we’ll be in our new facility in a few weeks and remove the lead time completely and start releasing our new tools. Unfortunately we’re at the mercy of the City of Sacramento, and they’re completely bogged down due to all of the cannabis CUPs they are attempting to process.
