Ah, that makes much more sense, thank you for clarifying that step. So this was not a glassy shatter going into the carts. He mentioned it being shatter so no solvent but dissolving it back in ISO would change that completely. That’s what had me totally stumped. In that case I go back to suspecting there’s some alcohol in there still.

that’s what analytics are for. get a residual solvent test done. you may be close. you might not be. really depends on how hard you were sucking at that temp.
I will. You guys have me curious as well but happy to say no I’ll side effects.
This is the third time you have told me this person has given me bad advice. Now I just feel silly. The person was a Reddit Mod for a large cannabis sub etc… However glad to hear their advice is BS because it means my current process isnt all that bad.

Im unsure. They’re the PCKT carts. There are 4 but 2mm unsure. They’re very small I suspect better to use with a looser oil.
Tonight I am filtering a Winterized solution and getting ready for the purge. I did @GroovyOctopusLabs’s Tek again with a touch more bud this time. But I fear that my hardware sucks for my product. Can you recommend something for me for a ticker oil?
It’s either that or I have to invent the hardware myself because nothing has worked well for me so far.
@qma should be able to field that one (which carts).
I prefer wax mods to disposables. Modern Waxpens/Waxmods

Oh I like them all. I want to be able to create the product and have that skillset rather than just chase and settle for the best method of using it. Like I have dry and concentrate vapes, carts and dab rigs. Infused oil in the fridge and ready made cookies in there as well. I want it all…
Oh yeah?
I seee…
NEVER TAKE ADVICE FROM REDDIT
Especially not disturbed_spookypasta, the man works at a bicycle store for god sakes. He gets his advice from BUDTENDERSSPRK carts are trash, their 1.5mm intakes cannot handle extracts. Their ceramics cannot pass heavy metals testing, and they have plastics touching their coils.

Now yall can see the effects of the misinformation. He says hemp terps don’t exist. He says c8 is the end all for vapes and better than d8. He thinks trulieves d8 is different from shady sams d8 when they are both conversions with unknowns
that covers the “don’t get your advise from reddit”, but doesn’t give @lexiiii121 any more clue which carts to purchase from @cart.farm to deal with their oil.
I’ve tagged you into threads to get them that info twice now…

Oh true, we talked about it in the ceramic cart thread. He is looking for “iCell +” To make his thicc concentrates wick. Wolks might work, but iCell + will definitely work. Next week we will start samples for “gCell +” to cart thicc oils in glass

Cyclo ty so much for using gender neutral pronouns! Really picked up my mood for the day.
And yes I still don’t know which carts to buy. I was offered samples but they never got back to me and I am waiting to make a purchase.

I never really got any solid info though. I was waiting for someone to get back to me regarding some samples but never happened. However I abstained from the temptation to rebuy SPRK carts. They don’t work for oils - end of story.

Its time for some solid info then:
“refining“ resin
- Take your resin to be refined and spin off your terps. Store the terps in a freezer
-
Winterize your waxolate by disolving 10:1 ethanol:waxolate, freezing the tincture, and cold filtering fats
-
Purge and decarb the thca tincture
-
Reintroduce and homogenize

Oh that part I know - I already go through those steps but I don’t use any high end equipment. Just Winterizing in Ethanol and filtering after 24 hours with a 0.22u filter. I purge and thin film until my vac pump gets here then it will still be thin film just not as thin.
What I need are carts that can handle a Decarbed Winterized Oil with Hemp Derived Terpenes reintroduced and infused via light heat. Inlet sizes are a big deal apparently hence why the SPRK carts just could not handle this level of disco shit.
the color is 100% oxygen in your blend. most of the people you will see in here have access to the equipment necessary to make high-end carts. Most of us use distillate and conversions since these are processed to the maximum. The end-users perception of quality is only what their senses tell them. Once you hit 80% thc in a cartridge, quality differences are seen only in color, clarity, smell and taste.
Color: Decarbing thca under inert atmosphere. Distilling terpenes.
Clarity: Degumming, dewaxing
Smell: Strain choice, timing when adding terps while mixing
Taste: Strain choice, low lipid content
Tell me more about Terpene timing in the mixing.
Unfortunately I can’t run Distillate just yet. I need to firstly learn how to use the various bits of equipment that go with the setup. After that it should be a breeze. I found a nice 250ml distillate glass kit from a site and a vac pump and what-not is easily obtained. Yes, I know if I learn distillation I will end up with fairly decent carts.
But, today, I wish to Master shatter carts and more after that. It’s all in the craft. You know what I mean

SPD can be a bit of a red herring to quality carts. There’s a lot of info floating around recently about how to decarb BHO without doing a world of hurt to the terps. Inert gas environment is an easy first step. Pressure, maybe less so. Separating the THCa and decarbing it separately is more labor but a little less equipment and probably better result than pressure decarb. Distillation has its place but it is not a requirement for high quality carts
