Can people please stop using Chinese knockoffs and promoting them 
They cost about $50-75 a piece and companies are selling them for $300-800
Youâre a moron if u buy one.
You also stop the creative flow. The Chinese donât invent shit, add to the industry or advance cannabis. And companies like Xtract⌠and ââ and I donât wanna say names lmao but hey we all know the Walmart and Harbor Freight tools
Itâs like selling McDonaldâs burgers labeled as grass fed Maui beef.
Itâs not
Itâs cheap because itâs shit.
If you buy your stuff from most of these online vendors that stock China parts youâre not being OG
Do you use jack stands from the dollar store lol idk man some people actually work on cars with shit tools but wait till they fail at the worse time 
If you showed up to work on lambos and rolls Royceâs with a set of harbor freightâŚjust wouldnât happen.
Practice on the cheap shit if you need to, and then donate it and give it away to the next dude that has no clue what they are doing.
Harbor freight tools are for practice or one time trash not making medicine for people.
Trap house medicine that is done for yields and profits is the worst and most pathetic side of this industry that should vanish IMO. Iâm guessing if you pull short cuts everywhere you wonât give a shit if you fail a test for residuals or heavy metals pesticides in fact, probably wonât even get it tested.
Letâs try and promote each other to level up and do better.
GOOD HASH
GOOD FOOD
GOOD PEOPLE
Thank god the grow community has phased out the Pepsi cola and raid weed folks with that shit bammer

be an og???
if you showed up to work on lambos and rolls royces with harbor freight tools and you get it done fast, efficient, and correctly â- thats triple og 
Thatâs pretty braisen statement considering most American companies sell Chinese stock
My rig is most likely Chinese steel. And itâs built better than some American. But Iâm not saying all Chinese is good. Just some arent bad either.
If you know your source then itâs completely fine having Chinese steel.
Not everyone can afford the green tax or have a boss where your not spending your money anyways

Thatâs also true
Hereâs a real
Life story for you:
Beekeeping on Hawaii is special. The honey is very rare and amazingâŚbecause of The varieties ie kiawe flowers etc.
the hives were under attack from the small hive beetleâŚcolony collapse etc.
Beekeepers got together, honey prices were healthy and real Hawaiian honey was beginning to be circulated and used even in the local and non local restaurants.
This was great because the bees bbenefitted. Beekeeers could sell their honey at a fair market price and they could afford to live and grow their hives.
Soon after, opportunist fellows started importing Chinese honey which Is cut with fructose etc.
Itâs not even all real honey, but itâs incredibly sweet.
One of these guys even cut it with 50% real Hawaiian honey.
They slashed prices, took all the accounts and quickly started to put the real beekeepers out of business.
Consumers lost because they no longer were consuming Hawaiian honey pure good top grade.
The bees suffered because beekeepers had to either get other jobs or focus their now lack of resources on other priorities than expanding or tending to their bees.
The local Ag suffered because of less pollinators.
Less fruit etc .
The ferral pigs had less papaya and mango so even the kalua pig didnât taste as good becauee they werenât getting fat on the fruits.
The only people that prospered were the rip off scammers.
Nature suffered, artists sufferedâŚnothing was made better.
Ya youâre right
Talk shit
What I said was ridiculous
In fact, letâs just sell lead thatâs coated in stainless lol
We can get the prices down to $15 a filter samurai
Yeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaa
Thatâs Yale level MBA economics you guys are brilliant
And every welder and mechanic knows youâre tools donât mean shit
But thereâs also the level of respect for your craft that you wouldnât choose to use shit tools that can damage the work
Maybe the mechanic example wasnât the best example
So let me know what brand you make so Iâll be sure not to buy any extracts so I donât get sick
Thatâs why i already addresses the âhave toâ vs âwant toâ sceneriaro â- if u have to buy cheap equipment, upgrade and give away to the next broke guy.
But maybe Iâm crazy and I think local beekeepers are more important that money sharks 
Call me crazy

They obviously didnât advertise âfake cut Chinese honeyâ
They had âreal Hawaiian local honeyâ on their labels.
Lol Donkeys
I was definitely only addressing 1) Pirating
And 2) poorly made equipment
No one was blanket statements on other countries.
Or any other random nonsense
Who knows, maybe even Russia made a really good car?! I have no idea.
Feel bad for the guy with the blown out filter
Also, I think thereâs many members and people on this site unaware of numbers 1&2.
There has also been some, in my opinion, incorrect economic statements about the benefit of pirating etc
At the end of the day, people will have bad experiences with certain brands and manufacturing practices and make the best future decision.
Lacking information is however an issue. Just like when consumers think they are buying Hawaiian honey but instead buy fake honey which in turn actually negatively impacted the actual honey bees of Hawaii
The feral bees were at the most risk of collapse from threat sĂł my data Is not incorrect in what I am saying.
So thatâs why I feel compelled to say something.
Maybe someone will appreciate that maybe not

We all get youâre against the Chinese filters, what crc do you recommend?
Please let us know what usa made filter, with non Chinese steel,we are supposed to be buying.
Because Iâve seen you use this argument before, so letâs go the opposite route, tell us what to use, not what to avoidâŚ

I like Chinese glass. itâs like harbor freight tools. Get the cheap tool, try it out before getting a good one, donât whine if it breaks⌠or implodes like this shit 20l buchner did. thankfully just some tears over spilt milk, but hey thatâs what r&d is all about.

Ya I would assume the only reason this didnât explode was the upper limit of saturation - wasnât enough oxygen for it to go boom. That would have been really bad.
Maybe guys need to switch to HFC 134a if itâs r&d or using r&d parts.
But in all seriousness, we should probably just do a test across the board and Rate the field.
Makes sense

Those are the size of a 5gallon bucket
Think about the mechanics of whatâs going on if itâs starting to bend. Itâs designed for a certain pressure limit, for a particular process that involves packed media, right? The packed media adds filter depth and spreads the load across the disc. If youâre pushing pressure through a partially clogged thin disk the load is going to be very different. Add some neutral media to add a little filter depth and I think itâll help you prevent a failure.

this is why supported discs exist.
sintered plates are super brittle.
