Begin with a cold hydrocarbon extraction of fresh frozen material,
Ensure the extraction is done cold enough to exclude fats/waxes, or ensure a proper dewax is performed
CRC after you perform dewax, find a media (or media mixture) that assists your crystalization process
(lower pH media = faster crystalization , higher pH media = slower crystalization)
Make sure you’re diamonds are formed neatly with little inclusions, don’t try to do this quickly unless you’re @J12
Wash your crystals off with cold hydrocarbon so there’s absolutely no terps or anything on them (could also do a second crystalization but that’s more work and time, could also crush up your first crash and centrifuge off your terps)
Continue the crystalization process on the decanted terps until a clean HTE with little solvent is achieved. This is much easier with fresh frozen material
Vacuum purge you’re terp layer while collecting any volatilized terps to add back in later
add cleaned crystals to a round bottom flask on a heating mantle, vacuum it out add some nitrogen, then vacuum it out again
Set to 95-110°C under a very deep vacuum until you stop getting bubbles (can be done in a rotovap for more even heating, may yield better color)
Lower temp to 50°C, cut vacuum and allow nitrogen to bleed in
Add terp fraction and mix till homogenous
Voila DAF Tek. Nitrogen steps are optional for improved color. @sonicgardens
I dont understand the point unless youre putting it in a cart, seems like the only difference here between what a lot of people do is that they are decarbing the diamonds before adding the terps back. Dont get me wrong those carts are probably A1, but i would personally rather drop a fat diamond onto a banger
I agree, I just figured while DAF was trying to make some super exclusive product, I’d set up the market with it since it’s such a low cost Tek. I used to do this to make carts when I was first starting out haha
That sounds good too. Most people don’t have a centrifuge fit for drying their crystals so I thought I’d offer a more widely doable Tek since I doubt anyone wishes to invest in tech to make this Tek work.
I’ll add it to the post though
He seems to be proud of what he does. Can’t blame him for that. I’ve been separating the lighter compounds from cannabinoids since 2015 or so. I also run my own analytics lab that’s set up with brand a new GC and LC so I can verify my products efficacy. It’s fun, and I’m glad he’s happy too. IMO this is a great tek for making a dabbing oil. A similar cannabiniod fraction could be achieved through chromo-disty, but the flash n’ crash method is nice as well. Terpenes are easy to extract too. Hydrocarbons do the job well, CO2 can also do an amazing job. So theres lots of ways to skin this pig. He seems to like this way the best, and I have no problem with that.
I’ve never met this person or the people from daf so I wouldn’t know. They seem to really think this product is amazing based on their Instagram account. I say good for them. I have no problem with people being proud of their products. I’ve seen them say things like “Nothing like this had ever been made” which I think we all found a bit amusing… but other than that they seem to make some pretty nice stuff with this method (or something similar to it).
