SFD Prices
    #21887776 - 07/02/15 12:42 PM (8 years, 6 months ago)

Ive found several sites that sell them for nearly $1 for a single filter and that looks like a crazy markup to me.

I did find a pack of 100 for around $50 though. Does that seem like a reasonable price? I really only need like 20 so I don't know...
Or maybe someone has some to trade? I guess I can make a post in marketplace as well.

Don't cheap out on your filters. It may seem like more money at first, but the thick, papery expensive ones last a LOT longer than the thin plastic-feeling ones. I've had mine for 4 years now, and each have seen probably 100 cycles or more. They look jacked up, with rust spots and shit, but they still work perfectly. They also fit better now that the edges are compressed down, lol.

I think they are all the same.
This is where I found the cheap ones and they look exactly the same as the expensive ones

I'm probably going to go with the dozen pack at $1 each since I don't need 100 SFDs and don't want to spend $50 on extra supplies.

Thanks for the reply, it just seemed like they were marking these things up like crazy. I'm currently using polyfil filters and I'd like to upgrade.

The ones from Mycopath look like a good deal to me. I was gonna purchase some via ebay, but it is even more expensive(6 discs for 12$) and the shipping might take longer too.

I would totally re-buy more SFD's even at $1 each. They're better and easier to use than any other filter and will not wear out easily. I've done 3 runs on my discs and expect to do dozens more.

There's cellulose filter discs which are great, you just gotta cover them with foil during the pc cycle. Synthetic filter disks are similar, but don't need the foil cover.

Shroom Supply sells all different sizes. If you buy bigger ones and cut quarter size pieces out of it you won't need that many.

They're not all the same. I've had 3 very different types. The thin ones just don't last as long. Out-grow and Aloha have the good ones.

Outgrow sells the cellulose filter discs. I'll have to give them a shot.

SFD's have worked great for me so far.

You can cut the proper SFDs into sections and glue or silicone them over the holes in your lid, cuts down the price alot if youre willing to do the work
Also lets you use any kind of jar with a metal lid, if you want to save even more money
Ive used all sorts of different glass jars from the grocery store for grain spawn, pickles/yoghurt/whatever

I've got some jars using homemade SFD's, not entirely proven yet but I don't have any contamination problems, using Polyester fabric stabilizer(non-fusible) from Wal Mart, you could always try that.  A dollar for 45 discs, pretty good even if they turn out not lasting as long I'd say.

Personally, I use EZ Felt filters with great success. I'm sure over time I will see higher contamination rates than if I were using true filter disks, but for someone living on a budget they've been great, and at 2 square foot for 80 cents, I can play with them as much as I want without worry.

(And please, by all means, feel free to poke holes in my technique. I know its budget and ghetto, but its the best my wallet can handle for now and its a case of "so far so good". woohoo short term planning!)
