I just broke my only nail. I'm flat broke til next week. Just spent a lot of money on my car after the serpentine pulley broke and caused other shit to break. I can't dab. Now I can finally get a quartz banger once I get paid and move on from ceramic. Quartz nails have gotten a lot cheaper too.

careful who you buy from some shops will sell you a nail saying its quartz and its cheap glass that breaks.

I know. So many people make them now. The price has dropped dramatically everywhere. Dnail is the only place that still charges $100 for a quartz nail. They don't even have bangers. Everyone else sells them for $28-$50 depending on how thick they are. The cheap Chinese glass ones are now like $15.

A lot of glass blowers only make nails these days or more nails than pieces. They wholesale them. Probably to move volume . They also don't have to pay taxes on the gear if they wholesale it.

Yea I know a few quartz banger wholesalers, they sell them for 8$ each then you can ask 20-30$ easily. Sell in big quantities like 800 at a time.

I have a couple china quartz bangers. I always wonder what the real difference is between these $100 american ones and the $15 chinese ones. I can't help but feel it's just american industry/glassblowers trying to protect itself..... propaganda.

You'll know if it's glass or quartz when you season it. :D

I always expect them to explode when I put the hot quartz in water but they never do.

Typically the Chinese ones are made out of glass with aluminum in that same glass.

American ones are really made from quartz. The layer above gold.

Price with glass blowers is just like price with hash makers. You can get that $50 per gram no prob. If you are famous and have a guest spot on hash church or weed nerd or what ever else. Then you can get $150 a gram.

Every peice of quartz I've owned has been Chinese and they are DEFINITELY NOT glass. They are quartz. Like I said above, you'd find out quickly while seasoning the nail or banger.

Put hot glass in water it will instantly break. Quartz will not.


I'd love to see some kind of lab analysis between the different quartz. Any analysis results exist online?

I'm still not convinced American quartz is any better than Chinese. I really feel like it's just industry trying to protect itself by slandering the other.

Well The clamp broke the hair straightener today... Lol I guess it was too much force Or something because the unit stopped heating up So I'm guessing the ceramic part broke Even though I didn't really hear anything. Pretty lame because the yields were much better and so was the qualitySo I would like to still use the clamp But I need a better heating element or hair straightener of some sort. Anyone have any ideas?

Maybe increase the surface area of the pressure points from the clamp?

I need to see one of these presses in person. I want to know how the plates are heated and how they're hooked up to enails if not internally heated. I wanna build my own with an arbor press. Instead of waiting on one of these companies to come through. I won't be able to afford twitches press for a while. All these other companies lagged big time. High 5 vape says they're in final stages of testing. No one has received presses from dnail except the tester people. Medisun's press is about $350 more than it should be. Which is $650. The plates on theirs wobble too.

If you find a good press for 400-500 please let me know, that is right around my price range. Doesn't have to be a pneumonic I liked the medisun but I thought it was a bit pricey for as simple as it is.

Have any of you guys used oil slick pad instead of parchment parch to collect your rosin. I ordered a 5x5 press and it should be here in a week or two but I was jwing if you guys have used it or if it releases bad stuff into the rosin, there site says its suppose to be good up to 500F

I wouldn't advise it, those materials can cause health issues.

have you noticed the hipocracy of the hash church guys over the whole parchment thing. Bubble man has a video of himself squishing hash using oil slick sheets. He now says he never used oil slick sheets for pressing. Only for storing. Wow

Watch this video. Then watch the last hash church ep.

I think that stuff is a little different than the typical oil slick pads they were talking about yesterday on church.

But yes the hipocracy stems far past that.
