I understand your point and mak sens to me its hard to compare.
Think this could be your culprit?

Next time you think the bubbles have all stopped forming, pick up the jar and give it a good throttling. If the whole thing essentially turns to foam, you arenât donât decarbing. Burp and carry on. As was mentioned always weigh your input material so you can determine completion after youâve lost 10-12% by weight.
Donât throttle in the early stages or she might blow up on you.

hello everyone,
I did the decarb at 130c, almost 20 hours to no longer have bubbles, I waited until the solution was at 80c to add the Cdt, and a few hours later I noticed that the liquid had turned pink, any idea why?
THANKS
And the jar is without cdt so it must come from the diamond ⌠there were beautifull clear yellow ⌠bute somehow it turned that way
Distillate has compounds that are natural anti oxidants, diamonds do not. Take better care of storing your oil out of light, heat and covered from oxygen.
Are you positive that you received thca? 20 hours at 130C is excessive decarb in my experience. If it is re-crashing, maybe you got duped. Run a beam test on the isolate to confirm that it isnât CBD. Have you consumed it? Does it get you high?

You right it was more 115c sorry , but maybe it was finished before the 20h after like 13h I had to leave it alone . And at this time juste 7% weight was gone .
It sounds like you are reporting the setpoint of your oven, and not the temperature of your oil. In a vacuum oven, it takes a lot longer for the oil to heat up because the lack of matter to transfer heat through convection. I prefer to decarb in a flask or reactor, using a probe thermometer in the oil, under vacuum.

And I get them from reliable source beautifull thca diamond
So how do we fill cartridge without add oxygen
I mean in a certain point as lower is the liquid as bigger is the oxygen . So how do you do to keep it welll ? And the most curious Is that it didnât do that others time , same diamond ,
Yeah I start to understand that itâs hard to make them just for personal use , I mean good one . It needs a lot of laboratory stuff
You can fill carts at a lower temperature than you decarb at. Oxidation is a function of time, temperature, and oxygen availability. I try to reduce these as much as possible, within reason. I can use a higher temperature if i reduce the other 2 factors.

what I did: decarb at 115c once finished, I let it cool, 48 hours later I started to heat it up to 80c to add the different terps to make several carts
Should I do all the process in once to limit time exposure to oxygen ?
Nitrogen flush your bottles for storage! It will help reduce oxidation and that purple color!

10 puffs on a cart that is 80% THC
vs the same number of inhales on a cart that is above 90% THC.
One of those will get you more active ingredient to your receptors aka âwill get you stonederâ.
Simple math.
Itâs not just the custies that note it.
It was my first response to the damn things tooâŚ

an oven is the wrong tool for decarb.
Can you explain why?
Same source, or same batch?
Same treatment?
Or did you leave them in the oven much longer this time?!?

Go for yellowish âisolateâ (âisolishâ)âŚeither exclude oxygen, or include (donât remove) the (natural) antioxidants.

I can t realy explain why , I would say itâs harder to know the reel temp of the de decarb
It come from the same batch
But for sure it decarb much longer this time

Air is a terrible heat transfer mediumâŚ
Nothing (vacuum) is even worse.
Boiling water gives you a known temp (without need of a thermometer) and much better heat transferâŚ

Thanks for this precision .
What I don t get , is why from the same batch .
I got two diferent result . I mean it is because one decarbed much longer than the other one ?
If Iâm decarbing with boiling water does it change something ?
Does oxydation have something to do with temperature ?
