It's like everything else in the weed game / America now. Way over priced and dime store china cheap junk. If you can afford to do your own vacuum pumps, vacuum chambers made out of old pressure cookers made back when America was a great country. And find older Roto's from update lab programs and other parts thats the way to go. I only extract with ethanol now days. So even the old school easy stove top way is still doable with stove top stills and such. I just got tired of always having to dig out and setup a lab in the kitchen to make a run and also got sick of the stove top stuff pan rattling mess. So for the type of hybrid crap fufu weed we have now days to extract from it's ok with small batchs. The only real issue with the
Source Turbo is it does get to hot. Not by much so once I open it up and see how the heater works I should be able to do a mod to calm it down. And the STX is a knock off Magic Butter machine that's better served with mods to be a coffee bean roaster and grinder. I've made a few batches with the
Source Turbo and Bruckner filter and other than the little over heat issue it's ok. Many folks consider it to be slow for the max batch size it does.
