Lol you probably are right. I don’t know anything about the black market. I’m just looking at it from the angle of an average undereducated user can attempt it and with success without distillation, so maybe I’m not giving illegal operations enough credit. Was never attempting to point fingers or question anyone’s procedures. This situation is effecting multiple industries and costing lives and jobs so when people get close minded and think “well that’s not how I do it, so there’s no way people could be doing it any other way” I get a little agitated. But I’m not a medical doctor or black market extractor. Just figured maybe if we had some information that could help solve this situation this is the best website to do that. I’ll stop communicating on the matter not really my place anyway
Just for the record, I never used that method. That was one of my first posts on the forum, long before I knew what I know now. 100% of the d8 I’ve made has been with adsorbants as part of a distillation. I’ve done it with an without packing. The one time I did it without I did end up with cbleach in my distillate. I ended up going in for a third pass to clean it up.
Me and my big mouth
Ok my guess is any carbon should do the trick indeed refluxing for some hours at a temp higher than decarboxilating then distilling from the same flask with content
Using fiberglas as scrubies in the head and no reflux in the head keeps
Carbon out so a slow run
Hi Good Life Gang. My name is Natalie and I am trying to raise awareness about making sure people buy licensed products and spotting counterfeit vapes. I work for Spectrum and am putting together a docs-style piece on this and am trying to find someone who is willing to talk – on camera or their identity blurred. Could you help put me in touch with the person who got sick so that it helps others?
The traditional market will always be here even after federal. You should approach this at a different angle. You need to have a conversation with the pros/ cons of traditional market and non traditional. Let the consumer decide on what to choose. Just because it passes cat 1-3/heavy metal testing doesn’t mean it’s safe.
Counterfeits are very easy to spot. Easiest give away is labeling.
yeah simply because the average person has little idea where to obtain tosic acid. The major chem suppliers might be a little shy to sell to an individual
