Hello Dude, Scotty, Guru and ALL of the DGC!
Had a few questions that made the show & loved every minute of it. Thanks for letting me be a part of this mutual experience! I have a feeling Guru may be a bit more interested in this idea than Dude or Scotty. I reload my own ammo (.308) & have been cleaning my brass with an ultrasonic cleaner for years,. Actually, way before they started showing up for that purpose. My old ultrasonic cleaner finally gave up the ghost, & a new, slightly larger one should arrive in a few days…
Got me thinking that it might be awesome to fill with ice water & some bud, turn it on (without heat) & let it blow all of the trichome heads off. Then I thought it might blow the cells apart & get chlorophyll & waxes & stuff in there & ruin the whole thing. What do you think? I’m willing to try it out & report my findings if it hasn’t been tried or you aren’t sure.
*waits for more info with a bowl of hash in hand*
The tumbler aspect of it makes me think it would be a good machine if you could work a way to add different micron bags to catch the tumbled Kief.
As a tumbler with liquids, if you can add your ingredients in there, shake it all about and then dump it into a 220 micron bubble bag to begin the sorting process, that would be pretty cool too.
This makes me think of old Bert Watson from Tremors, that guy could have been making some killer ammo hash.
Did you ever end up trying this ? I just had this idea whilst in the shower this morning and had me wanting to build an ultrasonic washing machine, but your points about cells exploding etc has me thinking it wont be worth trying, did you ever try this ? And if so how did it work ? Thanks !
