THCA Isolate, melting down and cooling into yellow puck?

Decarbed as normal and instead of a semi clear product as usual with a slight yellow. This is alot darker.
When cooled it turns a lighter yellow color (That is cloudy as shit) but turns into a hard puck.
When reheated turns back clear.
Doesnt seem to be the sticky stuff that usually comes from melted isolate.
Is it just not fully decarbed yet or did I get scammed?

Might be CBD

The isolate looks like little pebbes instead of the usual powderā€¦ got this from a highly repeatable companyā€¦
I have no idea.

Iā€™ve ordered from isolate from a few places and my ā€˜dabsā€™ after mixing with terpenes look lighter than thatā€¦

Im hoping its just the container I had used, but everything tells me something else.

I have no idea what this pebble ā€œisolateā€ is and why its so dark and unpowdery to begin with, then melts dark and clear, and cools yellow butter consistency.

Going to drive me insane until I figure out what happened, Running another sampleā€¦

Wouldnā€™t make any sense but picture #3 looks like it has fats in it

Only way to know is to send off for analysis.

2nd one came out same consistency. Pretty sure I got another noid lol

Did you source it on f4200? Whoā€™s the vendor? I pmed you to ask, if you donā€™t want to say publicly yet.

I plan to order a kg of iso this week, it would be nice to know who not to order from >.>

at first glance It looks like an isolate that was not washed well, so thereā€™s still trace amounts of other noids from the starting material making it darker/sticky and ball up like that. For it to be crashing out like that after heating would make me consider that it might be cut with cbd, or cbg. Cbg isolate has a slight soft/stickiness to it, I imagine that could prob make that balling effect as well. But i would more so bet itā€™s just a lower quality isolate that hasnā€™t been washed.

Yeah its 1000% a vendor on here; Unfortunately.
Highly reputableā€¦ I will wait to see what they say come Tuesday about this.
One of my largest orders to date aswell.
Was labeled THC-A Isolate, and it is clearly not.
Looks off, smells off, melts off, cools off.

Im actually bummed as hell, I had finally gotten saved myself enough to order a ~100G order after months.

I will wait to see what they say come Tuesday about this, not sure how a business just ACCIDENTLY sends 60gs of the wrong noid and labels it correctly.
Best case I get some free, (CBD/CBG) What I suspect this is, and they ship out a correct order.

Wild wild wild.

And I really hope its not some just poorly washed or mixed up noid soup.
I made it crystal clear which products I indented to purchase and it was labled THCA when it cameā€¦ Im hoping my 40gs of THC-A Crumble is actually THC-A nowā€¦ Checking zzzz. This is completely unacceptable.

Wow, Iā€™ve ordered isolate from 2 vendors so far on here. Tuesday or so I plan to buy 1kg from a different vendor on here. Scary to imagine being sent the wrong thing.

I hope it was some sort of mistake and nothing of malice?

Let us know what you discover about the crumble too!?

Yep will do.
I am hoping the exact same thing.
Come Tuesday if they are not willing to send a replacement of real powdered isolate thca then I will be outing them I suppose.
Running crumble tests now

THCA Powder Oxidizes very easily and will actually create a bit of a tint as well. Obviously Trepanier minors will give that yellow tinge as well. When decarbing you must do under pressure and also transfer under pressure or do a nitro fill on container itā€™s going into to ensure little to no oxygen.

How goes it? The vendor reply at all? Whoā€™s the vendor?

It looks like THCA that has fats/waxes in it, as someone else mentioned. Just wasnā€™t cleaned up perfectly.

THCa wouldnā€™t recrystallize and solidify after decarb

Itā€™s probably CBD or CBG

it definitely didnā€™t go back to the solid powder it started as. maybe they didnā€™t decarb all the way? Also THCA that has been decarbā€™d gives nearly 100% THC which is a very thick, almost hard oil depending on the room temperature.

Could definitely be CBD or CBG but donā€™t rule THCA out.

Vendor is in the process of replacing it,

Still appalled they tried to pass this shit.
