Very volatile terpenes

Ah yes. Thank you.

Your probably not decarbing all the way.

Let’s say that it is fully decarbed, just for entertainment purposes. But, what about the thca still in my HT?

That’s the culprit. I know for a fact its THCa foaming when heated. I had the same problem a year and a half ago. You can do a very light decarb on your HTE. Use a short path and decarb at low temp for an extended period of time. Use a cold trap or a few of them to capture any terps you distill off. Then reintroduce your terpenes to your extract.

It doesn’t happen often enough for me to want to do that.

That’s good! But if it does become a problem. That’s the best way I’ve found to fix it.

Strangely, unpredictable though. Even though I’m pretty sure I could intentionally make it happen. But knowing it’s going to happen is different.
