Didn't Rick S. talk about adding a table spoon or so of water in the wash ?? Or in the alcohol boil off and decarb process ? Did that do the same as your method ? Similar ?

RANT ALERT. :cheer:
My Cannabis Family,
You blow my mind !
I consider myself to be an expert in the making and uses of CCO, RSO, CO. And yet I wish I could retain 50% of the knowledge and creative thought you all exhibit in the course of these discussions. OldMedUser, you are the stereo type...
More than a few years ago I was trying to get RSO-CCO-CO to work in a vap pen. Like you gwhunran, I was directed toward PG as the main thinner. I couldn't keep them mixed well enough and gave up the effort. That left me with a big bottle of "food grade" PG. Maybe 8 years ago.
A month ago I...
You're exactly right. You'd make oil with less % cannabinoids. But you would increase the "entourage effect". What you call "possibly capture some other beneficial elements". Right on.
:Namaste:

:Namaste:
I may have better solvent than you........BUT.....:hookah: I am Soooooooo jealous of your herb. Can't afford to grow indoors and I'm absolutely blessed to get local growers buds from last years crop for free, but nothing beats your own grow !! Also, at 77, I just don't have the energy to make...
I tried PG and VG with and without terpenes. I never tried it with JUST terpenes.
Damn, so close !!!
Good luck LC.
Would give you my terpenes, but I've learned it's not good knowing where each other lives.
How much do they cost, I've forgotten ?
:Namaste:
Bought some from a different vender when I was trying to make a tincture for vap pens.
Experiment was not successful. It kept clogging up the pen and I gave up.
Sorry....no conclusion as to the terpenes.
:Namaste:
No problem...you didn't bring up anything old....it's just that this thread hasn't been used since 2016.
Also, I responded to FkAutos. Did you change to Meds4cancer ?
Most important: CONGRATULATIONS :thumb::cheer::high-five::bravo::yahoo::theband:
