You try cleaning the tubes yet? Iâm kinda assuming I can just soak the filter in some alcohol.
Ive heard you can get up to 3 uses per tube. Personally Iâd just wash out the terps and leave the cup and refill. Just make sure they are all within a gram of each other

Yeah, I kept it within the .2g specified.
Iâm so small time, I figured I could try to wash it, then if it works I can share my extras with everyone. If I can reuse em a few times, a ten pack would last me forever.

Interesting. My manual said 1g±
Just double checked the documentation, it does indeed say .2g. Thatâs funny, we probably got the exact same thing, but different directions.

Just tried it with 25 micron rosin bags, takes about 20 minutes at 4000rpm and looks awesome after
Now im wondering what happens if u try using wet hash from bubble washing 
does it dry it or also smoosh it from the g force, u could probably dial in the rpms and duration to get it perfect

Anyone upgrade from the plastic tubes?
I had the same triclamp bike tire idea too! Good stuff.
One could use a Utah BioD inline triclamp filter setup as well(ideally custom shorter length): Stainless Steel Inline Triclamp Filters - Utah Biodiesel Supply
I found these Sorvall tubes,
No separator, but perhaps combined with the utah filtersâŠ

Couldnât you just use some rosin bags with those like someone else did here? Theyâre using 100g tubes with 25u rosin bags instead of the fritted filters.
Canât remember if it was waxplug or dred.

I just see thetetraguys post on it, not sure of the specifics. Its sounds promising, Im just not sure how one would suspend the bag off the bottom of a glass or stainless tube with out some sort of support though.
It was dred

With those steel tubes, youâd pop the bag in, fold the top over, pop the lid on and tighten the screw on the cap to seal it up.

Word up, plenty of cheaper glass tubes with lids as well!
A few years back I picked up a Sorvall RC-5+ from the local uni for 35 bucks, time to put her to work.
I bumped the wrong damn thread!

I would like glass test tubes over the plastic ones, too.
