This thread is such a tease. @apothecary36
ever smelled bubble hash water
ā¦smells like the plant. it must either steal em or taint em
I have and steam distillation water. Steam distillation water is more rank but could it perhaps be from other water soluble chemicals in the plant separating out? Ice hash doesnāt smell like that.
My concern with pentane is not fully removing it using a roto. And too much exposure to heat with fractional distillation.
Iām dumbass idk what I was thinking the terps I have are steam and I love them
I wouldnāt say that. Thereās nothing wrong with a differing opinion. The jury will always be out unless data is presented and conclusions are replicated.
Iām still trying to figure out why that stuff smells so vile. Iām honestly just curious why you guys are doing steam with pentane.
Thatās interesting. I hear people on here rail against steam, always was curious about why? Iāve had good results with it, but I guess if done improperly you might get that popcorn smell?
Pentane terps are meant to be mixed into oil and purged after mixing
Steam for monoterps and non-terpene low boiling point volatiles
Hydrocarbon for the fruity fatty acid esters and alcohols.
CO2 for sesquiterpenes and non-volatile terpenoids.
Each method targets a different part of the aroma. No method gets the entire thing. Try mixing cannabis terpenes extracted in different ways and youāll see what youāre looking for.
I like hydrocarbon plus steam, I am not a terpologist though. I play one on tv
Adding bottled terps to bho is nice for that complex aroma, not too much though
I see so pentane terp stripping is just an aim to get a different profile or at least a different means to get a certain profile the others arenāt good at.
That makes sense with what Iāve done and seen other people do. Kinda explains the darker color of CO2 as the color compounds tend to be heavier like sesquiterpenes.
@stoopkid thanks for putting that into context, you taught me something new today.
Can a petane system rival or outdo butane or propane in quality? @Apothecary36
Any improvements or new ideas regarding pentane tek guys?
Close but a pentane /h2o steam distillation defenatly can you just need to heat them up separated
Honestly bho when done proper and when you know how to crystalize proper should yield a nice hte that is unrivaled by any distilled terps. Kinda no point in running anything but bho for terps in my opinion. Iām sure the king will come in here and say his ultra short path is the way or the other king will say membranes but I think bho will reign supreme in quality and scalability
Facts. Nothing compares imo
Supercritical methane bro
Damn, so pentane setup cant beat bho?
tell me I wonāt hook my gas service up to a pvc tube loaded with brown shake and blast it into a dish in my standing pilot oven to purge. I dare you
