Tried dabbing def was not pleasurable. Defalot of waxes but even tried the pure white and it wasnt that awesome so then lol I just put it in the microwave with a little water. And this is wt it did

Have done multiple of these washes, and some don’t get all the oil out. Even with multiple butane washes there are still chunks of yellow, red, pink oil left inside the sock. Looks almost like candy/flour/cookies. About to try on an enail to see when it melts, I’ll post the results on it in just a moment. Questioning the thca ideas in that those molecules SHOULD dissolve in butane correct? Why would thca be left behind when washed in isobutane?
Been having a lot of sugaring issues with the B80 runs and the ones I rewashed seem to have little to no sugaring. What does the B80 do chemically to the extract to make it sugar up? Is there some chemical reaction happening in the B80 that changes the extract into something that can’t take the heat/vac that a normal slab does? Why does this part of the solution then not want to dissolve in butane the second time? Someone said maybe I’m not using enough solvent. At 1000g extract to 30-40lbs, 13000g-18000g solvent I feel that’s plenty.
Betcha it’s thca

Please other people do this new isolation technique and get it figured out! Anyone who has more readily accessible lab tests see if you can get it nailed down what’s actually in there
Put it on an enail and no reaction at 250F but melted fully at 275F
Turned completely clear around 300F and began to vaporize, no residue, no taste
Lol if it is thca those end slabs gotta b lameAF for potentcy. Thca will dissolve in butane when its warm.

No head change, buzz, or anything?

How can it be THCa if it doesn’t dissolve in butane?
Because as a solid it takes a lot more effort to dissolve it again.
Anyone here that’s tried to do this with sugar or anything like that in the collection pot. It takes a while for all of the crystals to dissolve. I’ve clogged my pour spout a couple of times with thca from doing this. I doubt its entirely waxes.

I think its thca too. When I used to make crumble and slabs if you took this out it wouldnt make crumble at all or stable shatter. Pretty sure it’s like if u made fudge or rock candy and didn’t add enough sugar u would have similar results.

Isn’t that too hot for pure thca?
Yeah, except the reading on the e-nail control box doesn’t necessarily reflect the temp of the nail during heat up (much closer at equilibrium)…
So I’d say the jury is still out. Probably.
@HashyLarry how quickly did you heat the nail up? Do you think those temps are solid? Can you confirm with IR thermometer?

THCA melting point is 133-136C for standard >97% stuff. Recrystallizing up beyond 99% (real 99%, not instagram “99%”) youre looking at 136-139C. I tell people this and they dont believe me, doesnt matter - thats the truth.

Most of the THCa I have still has 1-2% other stuff in it, likely terps, which would explain my skewed melting point values.

It looks exactly like the THCA isolate I made with that tech i shared using crc and cold propane to do a terp strip then butane to strip the cannabinoids. I’m pretty sure you have almost pure thca, sometimes i redissolve nasty bho in my material column to rerun, on top of my filter screen there always ends up being a white powder that tested 90-97% THCA the few times i tried and tested the results.

This was the bottom of my 6" material column, I had a little less then a lb of BHO in there that I was dissolving to rerun through CRC, This stuff tested at 95% THCA after it was all collected, it would of been higher but you can see a decent amount of yellow in clumps.
