I mean since he said diamonds I don’t think that’s the scenario here
Yes big chunks. Did notice some powder. Good source, but who knows now days. COAs but who can trust that.
Powder due to shipping or cut if the game is this dirty 
How would I know at end result? Can’t co crystallize but how does that look melted down in a disposable per say ?
But yes not a half assed source by any means.
I’ve also decarbbed and let it sit out at room temp til harden again and didn’t see any “tampering” ? If that makes sense
Not really because honestly I wouldn’t worry about any sort of tampering. You’re probably just under-decarbed on the HTE. The pics you posted (thank you btw, that shit helps a ton) show it pretty well. 1st pic of the vape has tons of granules suspended in there 2nd vape you can see crystals forming i’m pretty sure. Plus all the bubbles in the 2nd pic
Occam’s razor is the way to go here. Simplest possible explanation? Decarbing. Then maybe waxes/fats (but probably not) then my mind would go elsewhere

buy potassium hydroxide and ethanol, mix 5% by weight potassium hydroxide into ethanol. Take a small sample of THCa(powderized), drop some of the solution on to it. Purple = CBD

Gotcha.
Will heat up longer with the diamonds or seperate (in shot glass) to accurately find right ratio.
See how this works

Will try this just for shits and giggles.
No purple = no CBD obviously?
Want to see no trace of purple if 100% THCa?
Would age of product play a factor?
this is what I made to show how it looks with different concentrations/products

I’d say once you know what percentage of HTE/Liquid diamonds you want in your vapes and have an idea of how much (if any) you lose in the decarb process if it really isn’t fully decarbed you can run the numbers real quick but just to keep it easier for yourself i’d do them separately. Remember to weigh them before too/tare the jars just so you can accurately calculate and compare.
Yeah got a solid idea.
Decarb 100g diamonds.
(Lose of about 12% normally)
30g HTE (we’ll see if I stick with it)
Decarb until no bubbles (or play with timing)
I know that end results will have different ratios and percentages due to losses and etc.
But it’s all learning and playing around with 
Y’all are solid with the info and quick
Thanks for helping this noob out
Don’t decarb in a sealed jar unless you have done the CO2 math

So open air decarb or lose seal?
Want to lose as much terps as possible obviously.
Dont know the CO2 math lol
Can you understand and replicate what’s happening in this thread?: Math help? How much pressure of x amount of co2 in y volume? - #2 by YeahBet
If yes, you can decarb in a sealed jar. If no, you can:
- decarb with the lid off
- decarb in a sealed vessel with a prv:
So I made a thing to decarb with

I have literally decarbed every single batch of hash rosin that’s went to food grade or carts…or crashed out in sealed jars. Lids will crumple before you blow the jar itself unless you’re doubling up on them.
Have I made a metric fuckton of jars pop out like Quasimodo’s spine? Fuck yes. Too many. Have I blown any? Nope because it’ll create a weak point in the rim before that happens and you’ll just have a mess on your hands. Of course that’s if you just throw it in the oven with like 5mm for headspace on a bigass jar and never burp it to release pressure.
Make sure it’s a ball jar and you’re gucci. The 4oz quilted ones are built like a brick shithouse. Give yourself 1/3rd of the jar in terms of headspace which will SIGNIFICANTLY cut down on chances of any crumpling, especially if you’re running it low and slow/burping it like you should be.

Appreciate your concerns and intentions.
No, I can not accurately replicate or even begin to understand any of that… respectfully.
So yes, thanks for answering my question.
@SubstituteCreature Yes, ball parks, not extreme heat, not even a tenth full when decarbbing, plenty of head space
(If that even matters in science terms… respectfully)
This approach works and I know plenty of people who also get away with it. I probably would never pressurize glass without doing the headspace math first. I for sure wouldn’t recommend it to new people

You’ve got the right idea, here’s a chart that’ll let you know how far back the fences are in the ballpark, too so you don’t lose THC content as well.

If you decarb HTE with the lid off you’ll find you lose a lot of the sharper notes and are left with more sweet notes. If you do it with the lid on you’ll pop before you decarb any real amount and lose those same notes. If you don’t pop you’ll have preserved them, but if you burp the jar without cooling it first you’ll still low those notes. Jar can get you there, but it’s a whole process.
You should definitely do it in a pressure vessel with a gauge and prv and take your time to get the calculations right so you can just set it and forget it until you reach the calculated pressure. Then you’ll want to cool it before you ever burp it.
