see Centipoise thread.
folks are looking into this.
those that have admitted to gathering that data have not shared it yet.
Hi everyone, this is my very first time posting in this forum. Always have a good time reading and studying from much information here 
So from the posts above I learned that the viscosity of the distillate isn’t a good indicator for quality, but I’ve seen most commercially available distillates soft and honey-like, especially the THC ones. I heard that CBD tends to naturally crystallize from over 60%, but THC does not - do you think those soft distillates are soft because they’re THC and not CBD distillate?
Also since distillate is distilled I thought the purity level should be at least 90% - but there I’ve seen whole lot of 75%, 80% distillates. I have no chemistry background at all so I may very well be wrong here, but I am thinking that the remaining percentage are plant lipids, waxes, terpenes etc that probably slipped out during distillation, and those are the factors that contribute to the consistency (soft or hard). I’m not sure though - am I right?
I am sorry if I am being off topic, but any thoughts/ ideas would be appreciated, I would very much like to study more about concentrates!
Quality THC distillate should be hard

Absolutely if distillate is soft it is not high delta 9 percentage. Fact. Ive been testing this with distillate since the beginning for this thread about 2 years ago. I do not buy anything now unless it is hard
you can have high % total cannabinoid distillate say 90s and it be soft but I can promise you it is not high in delta9… maybe d8 or other stuff but not the traditional high everyday people are looking for
I guess there can be exceptions to this but it is a good rule of thumb

Isomeration, and/or swapping flasks at the wrong time.
Hard v soft 2020 edition
Also the black market is so funny I laughed when seller claimed it was 97% thc
on a side note what do yall consider an acceptable thc range for some disty. Anything between 80-85% thc seems pretty standard and 85-90% thc seems more rare and high

Here is the potency profile for the softer one
and the harder one
d9 thc is hard anything soft is most likely not high in d9 thc, you shouldnt really be able to push your finger into it
