Wait, you mean you expose your hash to a vacuum?
Double digit terps isnt that hard in rosin tbh. I got 13% on a white apple tarts last month, 11% on a blue berry muffins right before that, most of my carts have been sitting around 9%.
Solvents are a viable method
Solventless is a viable method

This. Anyone that thinks it’s some secret war from one side to another is only fighting it in their own mind. Why complain about one or the other when you could just…educate yourself to do both.

Totally. Both solvent and solvent less should exist and be judged by the market on their own merits rather than some wackadoo anti science zealotry

I mean we both know that the majority of this retarded version of East Coast Vs. West Coast is rooted in one thing.
Lack of the abilities to do the other’s job so the shit talk ensues instead of cracking open a book.
Strongly agreed. If my back hurts by the time i’m done making hash while still knowingly getting a smaller return than any solvent based product you’re not paying pennies on the fuckin dollar for it. I’ll smoke it my damn self.

Those are awesome numbers and I would be proud to have them, most of the rosin I see around is mid single digits.

Nah, you do that for the same reason you need see thru to get the job done…lack of insight.
Lol, best BHO goes for 300 per ounce in my state which doesnt even have rec and prices are still high. Pretty good is 200 and rest is lower priced than most flower lol. I can still put out multiple ounces for 1400 at a time without needing to give a break. Even when doing bigger bulk its still gonna be 3x the price of the best BHO.
Anyone who thinks we should pull vac hitting numbers like that on BHO???
No. No youre not. Not anywhere in the ballpark.
BHO was way better years ago before people were trying to have diamonds finish in 1 day and have all your products look meth with terp sauce.
Yall stopped focusing on fire, started focusing on how fast you can make a certain look and you ruined your product. You now need to make money so youre trying to get into product which actually still has value, yet you are trying to bring the same non focus on quality with the quickest way to put out mids you can, and its gonna have a negative effect on the live rosin market.
If BHO was an equal product it would have at least a somewhat comparable price point. But its not. And thats why its anywhere from 3-14× cheaper.
Market has spoken, maybe you dorks should listen
@cyclopath still haven’t seen anyone mention my method…oh well

If you’re talking about prices in terms of $/ounce, you should enjoy the ride, bub, cuz it ain’t gonna last.
Give me some numbers. What does your hash weigh before and after you decarb? And what does it weigh before and after you remove CO2? Just a typical example would suffice.
If your having to “get rid” of bubbles then your rushing your decarb process or using some middle of the road rosin. Or you’re not decarbing under pressure correctly so u pull your rosin early in consideration of the terps lol.
Decarbing any cannabis extract under pressure will always result in entrained co2 that will need to be removed in some fashion prior to filling. When we did small batches, a mag stir hot plate did the job. Try that on a 2L media jar and you’ll be working it for hours and hours.
As the market matured and became more competitive, testing costs alone demanded that we run larger batches. I would have 16’ of bench with nothing but mag stir hot plates on it if we continued with the small scale tek. We had to flatten our oil efficiently at volume, and a vac oven does a spectacular job.
IE we made a ~2000g batch, lost ~10.41% weight at decarb, then another 0.245% weight after flattening(removing entrained co2) in the vac oven for an hour at -28 and above 100F.
The notion that yOu LoSe AlL Ur TeRpSss under vac post decarb has yet to be proven. I would like to see some numbers on an alternative tek that is as fast or efficient as flattening under vac.

Thats because Im in PA where its corporate only.
I dont do testing and we all know testing is def off wirh these labs and the numbers they throw out.
Im trap. Want numbers. My single source retails for 100-120 per g
The quality of my end product vs anyone else, esp the people ive seen champion BHO and CO2 extraction cart tech like put it under vac bro, trust us, we have tests and BHO that has a hard time selling in ounce form for the same price you sell a single gram.
Feel free to come to ANY glg east coast event and show me your actual end product. I could care less about tests as all the mids at have the same ones. Tok bad it doesnt help them make a better end product.
I get that doing thousands of grams at a time may be more efficient in a production setting under vac and trying to cold trap anything lost and that to your average person you may not be able to tell a difference.
This post was originally put up as a low cost way for people with what they already have or without buying decently expensive equipment compared to BHO stuff or a fuge, and to maintain a high quality.
If you need to get it done quick, you already have a vac setup cause you do BHO and youre not trying to make competition grade then sure.
Personally I think fuge would be a much better option if we are going thousands into the setup cost wise. Plus you could separate the terp layer first, then decarb remaining higher THCA portion of the rosin under pressure from inert gas to stop oxidation and lower temp needed for decarb. When homogenizing the 2 portions the bubbles would be remediated out anyway and the vac portion wouldnt be needed.
Its not I think what youre saying makes trash, i just think if competition quality is the goal, which it should be for rosin, then doing things for sake of a very minute increase in quality should be chosen over expediting the process and losing a small amount of quality your average end user would never notice, unless you pointed it out to them which would already give them a bias perspective
The promotional guy at low temp is trying to put out promotional material.
This isnt new or innovative and was already spoken of publically at events i was a paid speaker at well before this and the tech was much more heavily looked into than grab a cheap jewerly cleaner.
Are you saying the BHO community should get credit for the jewelry cleaner cure tech? Also it doesnt do a very good job of removing the carbon/bubbles.
Just warm it up and stir it til it quits bubbling if you only have a few grams, it’s pretty simple.
It’s just like making a coke flat. Warm it up and stir that shit and it’ll be flat in a few minutes. Don’t overthink it.

Currently doing lbs in the lab, usually qps for the small batch but dont use vac for either, strring takes forever and im busy. Hot plate makes quick work. I just throw in a vac oven first but dont pull vac:joy:
to warm it and them toss a mag stir in and put the lid back on tight and let it do its thing. Takes no time. Cheap. Stuff i already had on hand. Scientific ovens are nice for heating but could also use a reptile icubator if doing cheap as possible.
Outside of extreme production situations I cant see myself ever pulling the carbon out like im degassing bho.
Here since you seem to come around once a year and seem like you really want the attention.
You typed a fucking lot to say what you could have achieved in like…a sentence. Like it’s half ego cock-stroke and half bipolar rabbit hole

Didnt see any fucking rebuttals tho. So thanks.
I really cant be bothered to come on here and have people try to correct me who kake concentrates that sell for 3 dollars wholesale and think becuase they send BHO to the same testing facilities that are showing all the 40% THC flower they are saying something.
I got breeding projects to shuck and fresh frozen to get to. My proof is in my jars which I are with me at meetups. Feel free to try to show up with better🤙
