How was the flow rate through the filters after dewaxing? Sometimes it gets super stuck.

Yeah it’s really strain dependent…some have a shit ton of wax some have little to none…but yes it’s gets annoying when ya get a clogged filter! I got a pretty good and quick filter set up…so it doesn’t happen often…
What filters do you use? And are the balls stainless or tungsten?

No bullshit that made my morning. I was gonna actually post a week ago if anyone has any plans on making a release valve on a jar lid. Does it work well? Cause I still haven’t attempted diamonds due to my extreme fear of jars breaking, so if it works really well I’ll replicate the idea.

Honestly I’m the only one I believe who has had a jar break, and I’m pretty sure it was because,
- I over etched the glass.
- Theres smooth side jars out there and they are remarkably thinner walled than the canning jars with designs and ball written on them, I’ve even had great success using pint size jars
That yeti tank he posted above is 1gal, does Rtic make gallon with large mouth openings?
Just in case anyone thinking it I wouldn’t try to grow diamonds directly in those, 2 reasons, 1 they are vacuum insulated, 2 I’ve seen ones lid shoot through ceiling panels when someone left one full of kambutcha in a diner… never found the lid…

Nice! I was gonna comment that there are cheaper versions of yeti but I dont know any making a wide mouth like that, good find!
It would be nice as 6" opening I can barely fit my hand down 3" so 4" while holding a jar might be impossible,

I think you can contact RTIC for a custom fabrication. Not sure though.

RTIC caught my attention from Facebook because a guy who works for a cbd company swears by them and upon google searches i learned RTIC is the YETI alternative. Some of the specs differ between products but RTIC is budgeted YETI.

Bingo!
A good normal jar u’ll shoot the lid through the ring band like I did!!!
Jar completely fine… although the lid was a muffin bent in two… Which was way too much solvent
