HTE Carts: Decarb?

Hi guys,

Quick question from Canada, does the company who make “HTE Carts” decarb their HTE before mixing it to their distillate? I know it sounds dumb, lol. I saw some people mixing it raw on IG, but you must need to activate the THC somewhere without losing terps by heating the HTE? I have a very good HTE source and plan to start making those kinds of carts since cannabis-derived terpenes is very rare here. I know I heat the “sauce” when I do my carts, but I keep it low, I dont think that do the job (decard). I am a little confused here lol

Thanks

The main reasoning behind decarb would be so the thca doesn’t re-crystallize on your glass cartridge.

Hopefully wherever you are sourcing your hte is crashing out most of the thca, that said, each batch is likely to be different.

Depending on your scale, testing each batch could be economical. Or a blanket decarb on all incoming Hte.

I would also guess that your decarb times would be shortened considerably, low levels of thca and all.

Shouldn’t need to do that at all. You are mixing in 25-30% HTE to disty. What thca in there won’t have a chance to drop out. And the atomizer will “activate” it when you take a hit anyway.

Mix and enjoy.

Thank you all, exactly what I was thinking, you dont decarb it. I plan to buy a homogenizer anyway to be sure nothing crash.

Hey, may I reccomend budget wax instead of disty. Makes a remarkable product and decarbing (argon displacement in canning jars, oil bath on a hot plate) is a breeze with a sub 1k set up.

Most budget wax is filled with fats and lipids, you should really winterize material like this before making carts out of it.

Or just start with non budget oil.
