"The Clear" Solventless hash from harborside

everclear is the same here, 151 proof.
I live in Cali, 190 proof liquor is illegal here but I still use it for winterizing. Its not hard to get at all, just a quick search will get it shipped to your door.
I have some amazing oil from this years harvest. Vac purged, then winterized, then used a glass syringe to filter anything left over. The product looks clear and slightly liquid just like Harborsides clear. My buddy is making it right now for me, but I should have ounces of top notch oil.

I got 200 proof UNDENATURED ethanol but that some expensive shit. GW tell Eden your next batch be done at 800psi and 85F. Have the material decarboxylated and be their to watch the yield. Make sure 200 proof ethanol is co-solvented at 2% wt wt. Proportional to the amount of co2 used. Then come talk to me after those results are yielded and sampled.

Pre decarboxylated material should only be used if one is making oil for oral/topical use. The temperatures required to properly dercarboxylate will drive of most if not all lighter terpenes and flavonoids. Makes for a very bland, hashy extract with no floral notes.
and am I missing something, when did gw ever say he has eden making co2 oil for him? The only reason co2 yields are high is because it pulls a crap ton of undesirable plant waxes.
are you done yet?

This makes me laugh so hard! Are you for real dude? I have to wonder, do you really think you are helping anybody?

That's Reagent grade your boasting, which is denatured w 5% isopropyl and 5% methanol and its good, but the top note loss is in this area where funky tastes are left w slight residues left behind as they boil off at exactly the same temperature as the ethanol. So all residues are toxic to ingest and the vapors of that stuff I have no desire to put in my body. Food grade extractions is what I do since the FDA states co2 is a direct food ingredient and ethanol is a food w very little nutritional value but intended for human consumption. For those reasons it is a food grade extract and from the second I blast snow, you can smell the major differences. Its becoming more common in the L.A. area from the local demand this product has. Once people know the difference, nobody wants to vape second best. Unless your to broke to afford real concentrate. But hey I'm broke my damn self, but still stay vapin the absolute best as I know I use the best solvents available to anyone.

From what I know - "clear" is a steam/pressure reprocessing of already extracted bho and bubble hash. The steam carries away the impurities leaving the desired product which is then reincorporated with terpenes....
Steam should remove factors affecting odor almost entirely, and taste and maybe pharmacology, but probably not things that people would generally think of as contaminants, like the precipitate from winterizing. It's a good idea if you want a consistent product in that way, regardless of raw material.
It sounds messy though - how fluid is the THC portion of the extract at the temperature of superheated steam? Does hash become an intractable glob? Pictures? It may be more practical to steam green instead, before BHO, if there has to be steam.

Just repeating what I know from trusted sources in close corners... I've had plenty of it when it first hit town. Kinda bland - but "clear" consistent hits. It's decarbed - with the volatile terpenes reincorporated after the fact.
Don't know the specifics - just the general outline of the process.
The test results of an LC-MS strongly support your statement, especially when you compare the peaks to those generated by other concentrates.
Not bubble and bho refined.... Dry sift.. Remember they claim zero solvent, including water. It's pretty obvious what they do if youth ink about it. You just really do need high end lab equipment to achieve their result. Remember, a huge clue is that it's decarbed.

Maybe dry sift as well - but, no - the process as explained to me did in fact involve the *reprocessing* of already refined/extracted materials. BHO, bubble, sift... The claim is "solvent-free" - not "solvent-less".
No their claim all over IG is solventless. Check it out. they claim no butane, co2, hexane, alcohol, or water is used in their process
