Are you extracting from Cannabis for your terpenes?
Iāve had @kenzyme process material for me.
The terpenes came out phenomenal!
Came out smelling & tasting like a cured version of the Live Resin we ran on the exact same material.
Only thing it compares to is HTE.
Steam distillation & botanical sourced arenāt even close.
Had almost no Cannabinoid loss on the material. Basically just de-carded it. Made it a hell of a lot easier to process the material after the terp pull.
Getting better yields on crude than the Twister trim anyway. Having him run more

Hey @kenzyme thanks for all of this. Is there any info you can share that differentiates between vacuum and steam distillation?
Hey DustyD!
Steam distilled terpenes contain plant flavenoids due to the polar nature of the water used in steam form.
The conditions for steam distillation are somewhat harsh and result in terpene isomerization and degradation.
My vacuum distillation process uses ZERO solvents and due to high vacuum levels requires lower process temperatures in an oxygen free environment which prevents isomerization and degradation.
Steam distilled terpenes smell boring/neutral often with notes of pickle juice (for lack of a better term)
The vacuum distilled terpenes are much much higher quality (even steam distilled terp guys have told me this).

@kenzyme that all makes sense, and I would really like to try to vacuum distill my own small batch hemp terps. Is there any resource you can point me towards for the tek or set up?

What are you guys using for 1 ml packaging? I just sent out some samples and they all leaked like crazy

Thatās exactly what I did with the ptfe tape. But I used amber 1 ml (1/4 dram) essential oil vials from amazon

They all leaked

I also started with that type of sample bottles. I PTFE taped the heck out of them and only had a few that leaked, but I still wasnāt satisfied and it was a PITA to PTFE tape samples (time=money)
I have since switched to 2mL HPLC sample vials such as these -

And no leaks?

I started with autos ampler vials but they have bigass slits in themā¦ how do you stop leaks?
Iām using 5ml vials with droppers from discount vials and have had no leaks with those. Usually heat sealing in a mylar envelope and then vac sealing that.

Ive had terps in those 2ml sampler vials, for over 2 years now, no leakage. Maybe tighten them more?

Iāve also had terps in those glass luer lock syringes for 2 years no leaks but the silicone compatibility makes me not want to use them.
