I don’t like distillate and will not vape anything with distillate. I do not vape much and mostly dab diamonds w/cannabis terps that were poured off. I only run fresh frozen so terps taste way better than from dried cured.
I will make up some carts using the Floraplex diluent and terps and post the results and pics. I like as little additives as possible so my carts do not move when cold. If making them for yourself I suggest making them like mine or only a little thinner.
BTW I do a simple inline dewax without any stall time so not as thorough as a true dewax.

The grape ape was really good too. Your terps act as more of a diluent than true terps and the flavor seems more concentrated. I’ll be reordering for sure!

Great to hear! I like that one too. 
If there’s anything we can help with please don’t hesitate to reach out!
im confused by terminology. terps=thin flavor additive for distillate, diluent=flavored/unflavored additive used to thin shatter. is that correct?

Terpines are the major components contributing to taste and smell in most all organic things. Diluents are a substance used to dilute another substance. In this circumstance the terpines (taste and smell molecules) used for flavoring distillate also acts as a diluent even at small quantities. The flavorless diligent is just a cutting agent that is made out of terpines to make distillate or dewaxed non decarbed bho less viscous.

Shatter melted in the beaker
One of 3 mixed carts
What was left in the bottom of beaker
This is Pot Of Gold w/Sunset Sherbet terps. I used 20% diluent and 5% terps.
It will not move in the cart unless it is heated. If you want it thinner like disty carts you will need like 30%+ diluent.
Still has micro bubbles from the magnetic stirrer but they will go away once it is heated/used a few times

im getting it…dewaxed and decarbed wax last month, working with distillate this month. using terps with the distillate, didn’t use anything with the dewaxed/decarbed shatter. visible difference in color/clarity between distillate and shatter.

It all depends on the starting material, generally shatter is darker. Carts made from shatter have to be cut, otherwise they are to viscous to flow.

i made a bunch with shatter, but i defatted and decarbed it before i filled the carts. i’d think if i had added terps they would have flowed better, but they flowed ok.

decarbed bho is slightly less viscous than distillate I think.

do you know at what temperature the terpenes will burn off? i mix with distillate and use stirring rod and heat plate and don’t want to set temp too high.
do you know at what temp the terps will cook off? im using a heat plate/mag stirrer and don’t want to set temp too high. i was using 90(c), but was recently told like 150(f), which is much lower.
Hey hispeed!
Keep it below 50’C and you’ll be happy. Slightly higher is OK if necessary, like if you go to 55-60’C you’ll still end up with a great end product.

Sign me up! I want to try it, i dont like the idea of using MCT and was hoping to hit atleast 75% potency on a cbd cart. Highest ive seen is 50% with mct

The terpene stores cut isn’t MCT. I can tell you that for sure. MCT is disgusting
What plant was this derived from? Assuming coconut

Hi Terppin! That has been discussed in this thread, as well as lots of other info you may find useful. 
Based on various types of odorless and flavorless terpenes including sesquiterpene alcohol and sesquiterpenes. It does not contain monoterpenes.

Some quick research suggests a fractionated West Indian Sandalwood could produce some odorless, mostly flavorless sesquiterpene oils. A book I was reading suggested there’s as much as 40% sesquiterpene content in that material. A lot of it as quoted as being odorless and nearly flavorless with a molecular formula of c15h24.
As I was researching all that stuff I quickly realized I understand little about how molecules must interact with human physiology. How can the shape of a hydrocarbon make it so wildly different from other hydrocarbons with nearly identical molecular composition? I’m not really asking anyone to explain that, I’m sure it’s an outrageously complicated answer.
