Of course..it's going to be rosin, but I dab mostly live resin badder,crumble, and sugar. Sometimes BHO...depends on the strain. Thc-a diamonds and sauce is my go to.
Yep! Absolutely. There will be some post processing needed in order to remove any excess water. Another option is to use a freeze dryer. This will stabilize the flower and lock in all of those high note terpenes.
This is why you should not listen to internet gurus. Semi good questions but horrible answers. Butane combust into CO2 and H2O. Pure butane has not contaminants but if they were present they would have to boil at 32F to be carried over during butane recovery. If not they are left behind. So the correct answer is that after the first recovery of butane at a gentle temperature used for recovery should produce pure butane. However CO2 cannot boast of the same because CO2 is not produced with distillation and most of the time is not recovered with distillation. The byproducts of manufacture are carried into your final product and are consumed when present. Butane breaks down soon after release. CO2 is never a liquid at extraction pressures, not even at SCF controls. It could be called a dense fog but not a liquid. Extracting with gases requires more volume heat and pressure which serves not benefit over using a liquid. However C02 can flash off leaving extract behind and can change in polarity with heat and pressure which can be useful if you know how to do it. I saw his oven/terpene question forming on his face before he asked it. Vacuum does not make a solid a liquid and does not make it boil away. It can sublimate from solid to gas though. Heat has to be used to make the extract more liquid but once liquid the vacuum can now reduce the amount of heat required to boil liquids away. This helps remove more liquids with less heat but you are still vibrating the molecules that can be vibrated and evaporated. There is only that minor sublimation evaporation that is beneficial and lowering of temp that is almost deceptively beneficial. Vacuum ovens were used to remove solvents and butogenate the extract into a lighter colored looking fluffy product. They could be used for precipitating crystals by helping raise viscosity. without heating.

What is your favorite type of extract?
Of course..it's going to be rosin, but I dab mostly live resin badder,crumble, and sugar. Sometimes BHO...depends on the strain. Thc-a diamonds and sauce is my go to.
Do you guys want a half acre to test on in Minnesota next fall? (2024)
I'm interested in co2. I'm sure we could work on something together!
CO2 really is ideal for versatile and safe product offerings. Reach out when you are ready, I am sure we can figure something out.
Can you run frozen cannabis in a co2 extractor?
Yep! Absolutely. There will be some post processing needed in order to remove any excess water. Another option is to use a freeze dryer. This will stabilize the flower and lock in all of those high note terpenes.
