No. You have solvent recovery (distillation of your solvent) conflated with distillation of cannabinoids. most of the carts in your market are made from distillate with terpenes from another source.
The videos you’ve watched are for home users. You can absolutely make usable carts and dabs that way. What you can’t do is capture the full flavor of the flower. The monoterpenes and other light volatiles leave along with your solvent.
Your choices are therefor to use a more volatile solvent (Eg butane) or none at all (hash rosin).
Decarbed QWET pens will be a very hard sell in CA. They have certainly flown in other locales in the past.
Right now the folks in your neck of the woods would be more likely to purchase rosin based carts.
I haven’t been through I make terrible distillate....why? recently, but my recollection is it should have all the pieces needed to explain cannabinoid distillation. You might have to chase some of it down.
Could have sworn I linked it earlier, but that’s not what the record shows. #%%~>*>?ing hallucinating again? Possibly…although I don’t recall any good reason for that
