Etoh concentrates come from evaporation and whatever post processing consistency you desire:shatter, diamonds, sugar, oils.
Distillates come from purifying already made etoh concentrate further to distill thc on a molecular level and the result is a thick thc laden syrupy concentrate. Which usually results in the upper 70’s to near 99%thc.
When I mean purifying I mean near perfect dewaxing, pH balancing, decarbing, terp stripping, degumming prior to putting it through a wiped film, rolled film, short path distillation unit or anything else meant for further refining on the molecular level.
Etoh concentrate is dewaxed bucket tek that’s been post processed into whatever the end consistency is desired by the operator.
It just takes a shit load of electricity and purified and decarbed etoh to make disty.
But if I can be clear you could get a bho rig and a crc then look into making clear diamonds.
Apparently old material is a crc’s best friend.
Because as disty is called hot dog water, I wouldn’t touch it if you’re aiming for market reasons.
