Vitamin E in hash

Closest thing I can think of that is actually very common in cannabis extracts is Amyrin Acetate. MW 468 and chemical formula is basically just swapping a carbon and oxygen. C32H52O2 vs C31H52O3. That could be a big or a small difference depending on their testing method though.

Alpha Amyrin Acetate, Beta Amyrin Acetate, and Lupeol Acetate show up after your cannabinoids and long chain alkanes (what we all refer to as “waxes”). Collectively I’ve seen them make up almost a half a percent of a butane extract so they are far from rare, just seldom of interest to anyone other than people like me. There is also a handful of unknowns with unsaturated isoprenoid side chains (resembling that of tocotrienols) that elute right around there that could potentially be misconstrued as tocopheryl acetate. Tough to say much of anything without more info from lab.

This is really interesting. A co-elution with something benign that forms during decarb is a good lead I want to track down. What sort of info from the lab would you need to diagnose that? The raw chromatograph… Anything else?

I am just rather skeptical of the entire Vit. E = vape disease story. People have been breathing marijuana pyrolysis products for ever, but all of a sudden Vit E acetate is found toxic and produces a syndrome almost identical to that of a co-released gain of function SS-RNA virus, in the same calendar year…go figure.

I live on the other side of the world than USA, but i am certain that i had covid the year before in October.
I had to report to a prison for a couple of months, and when i arrived everyone was sick in what was exactly as the disease that came after.and named covid

That is extremely interesting. I don’t want to pry, but could you clarify what country/prison it was? It would be amazing if we uncover a massive covid conspiracy because they fucked with our industry(vaping illness).
