You are not going to be able to find the answers laid out to you anywhere here. But if you know enough about crystallization and the different ways to alter your results you may start seeing other hints laid out that you would have otherwise overlooked.
There have been spoons shared a plenty but the trial and error and experimentation will still be required. But that’s the part that will help you understand it even more.
There’s a lot of different ways to crystallize and you can combine multiple techniques.
I want to try extracting in menthol and then use warm water as an antisolvent. Reasonable? What about menthol/limonene with ethanol or isopropanol as a cosolvent and then evaporate off the isopropanol?
I was using another solvent in my fast crash experiments (but don’t recommend) and yes there are more parameters than just that, but it does really change things when you find the ideal solvent (or combo/blend)
I’ve seen instant crashes by opening up the collection while wet with residual butane, and adding a splash of pentane. Basically add enough pentane so that way when all the butane has evaporated, the solution is super saturated.
Another variable is the temperature. In this example my solution was at the temperature of the evaporation of the isobutane. Evaporation will cool your solution. A hot oven dissolved my instant crash so I need to go a bit slower heating it up next time.
I dont think acetic acid and methanol will create a delicious dab.
Maybe for reX or making edibles/capsules/etc but vinegar terps don’t sound deliciius
I agree. But I also think if people are going to use menthol as the solvent most of the cannabis terps would be overwhelmed also.
I found this article a while back and thought I’d share since someone wanted to attempt to use menthol.
I like some regular bho stones or dry sift personally.
You can still distill a cryoethanol extract and fractionate out the good terpenes and mix back into the cannabinoid fraction for a good vape cartridge recipe.
Distillation of these terp fractions MUST be done at 1x -8 Mmbar and the bf placed in a icewater bath at least lower than 23 C
