That’s what I’m finding with this ratio—it seems like the only way I can determine the right time to mix is the consistency of the terpenes. This is a mixture of distillate and water-consistency terps. It always seems to sit at around 15-20% THCa and long-term crystallization hasn’t been an issue.
Tastes just fine to me. The distillate on its own is tasteless as can be! I suppose one could make the case that live resin sugar has got a minor amount of terpenes in it that get lost when using disty—but I suppose I’ll need to make some with sugar to test that out myself.
Even on fire disty I get “plain smoke” kinda like licking new plastic lol. First pass disty I get smoky flavor some. But what I’m saying is I get flavor from it I think takes tons hte to get that dominant hte cart taste imo
