I just got mine wed...4 days ago. I'm at 800m elevation. It's a 5 gal tank. It got to -28.5 bar or 99.94 vacuum and has held it (all valves closed, pump off) at -28.5 bar till now!!!!
can I use 1:1 ratio resin? I would like to know if the resin doesn't harden while it's inside the vacuum and then become sticky before use it. My purpose is to use it for flower preservation.
Hi Carmen, Thank you for your question. Yes, you can. As a matter of fact, the first resin I show in this video is a 1:1 ratio resin. The one thing to look for is the "pot life" of resin. Your resin should say something like "45 minute pot life", that is the amount of time you have before the resin starts its exothermic reaction (in other words, when it will start to harden). Also, keep in mind that if it's in a cup like I put it in, it will harden a lot faster because of the temperature of the resin rising. Please feel free to post more questions if you have them. Robert
Great honest review
Thank you. It's still working great today.
I Appreciate the review. Is the vacuum chamber still holding up well?
Hi Kelly, Yup, I use it regularly and it's still working like new.

Hey John, Yup, I must admit I love this vacuum chamber. My resin is 10x clearer. Do you do bigger projects or smaller ones?
Nice tests
Thank you.
