Pretty much on point with my purge tech ... after going to the Skunk Pharm lecture on Terps, I totally changed up everthing. when people tell me they purge for 100+ hour, I quitely laugh and say something like ... "Wow, I should try that", lol

Steep hill needs to get in OR too ... Addy is wasting time!

lol yup the 100+ hour purge makes me laugh so much inside..... Also when i asked alot of these "extract artists" if they distilled their butane before use, they said yes, then i asked what temp did they distill at.... No one responded lol.... Steep hill need to hurry up and open shop.... Also Eastern WA could use a damn lab too!!! People live on this side of the state too!!

Purge tech...


- take your oil from the BHOgart and spread it super thin on your parchment.
- put in the vacuum oven at 97*, and turn on your pump for 2 hours.
-flip the patty, and put back in the oven at 125* with the pump running for 20 min.
-release vacuum, and let patty sit in 125* oven for 5 min.
thats it! 2.5 hour purge is all it takes. Its all about surface area. SPREAD YOUR OIL THIN

here is a trimrun with 35ppm, and 31% terps with this method...

i tried farmer joes purge tech today. unfortunately the material was already partially decarbed so I had pretty sticky oleoresins (i think thats the right word)

But my main complaint was with the TANE, I ran liquid five on this run because of the price and previous success with POWER5.

But with the farmer john tech I feel there may have been some of the mercaptains still lingering...kinda the grainy "bad" smell. last mastercase i ever buy of this crap....thank goodness im ordering a cls,

@Calwax - consider investing in a lil terp. All part lists, and specs are on skunkpharm.com. Extracting in a closed system is a different ball game ... the system is very inexpensive, and you can distill that butane ... no pump needed, all passive.

Purge tech works if you recover a lot of your tane in the recovery ...

That is the only lab I have seen putting out terpene #'s like that. SteepHill ran something that came out 20% (if I recall correctly) and that was a very viscous fluid. The BHO results they post are ~5% terpenes, at the very most.

I just don't understand how Analytical360 is getting results that high, something is up
That kind of makes sense regarding having a high terpene concentration. I worked with essential oils in the nutritional industry for a few years and you would think high levels would cause the concentrate to be more fluid. They're also typically very volatile and can evaporate rapidly.

Honestly I've got NO experience with butane or CO2 concentrates and learning to help a friend.

IF their terpene results are way off then brings into question everything they test for. I've dealt with labs for years and at times had to send the same sample to different labs for verification and interesting to see the results using different methodology and/or equipment.

Exactly. I wasn't going to get into it, but they have BHO testing at <60% THCA yet have RSOs with 80% activated d9THC.

How is it that your product retains a non-liquid state with terps this high?

The cannabinoids are soluble in the terpenes, and the terps are liquid, how can you have pull and snap or shatter when ~1/3 of the material is basically a liquid solvent?

If you take good rock hard shatter and add 1/3 of its weight in limonene, it makes a runny liquid.

I'm not saying the test results are wrong, but I don't understand how you can have a solid product with terps that high.

Thanks for your time.

I just checked and found Liquid 5X, at that price you should have been suspicious something was wrong... click on the link in my ICMAG Signature, share the list around as thanks.

could be a lab mistake.. or could be a sappier product? i dont know.. i know ive seen some that smelled and tastes really like the nugs it came from.. and it was a lilly sappier then normal.,

One thing is for sure is that Phate is producing some very high quality concentrates and his awards prove that. I know him from another life and is mutual friends with a brother of mine. The issue here is the lab and the credibility of their testing/results. That will all get sorted out.

Smelling and tasting like the source material is different from being >30% terpenes by weight. If the concentrate has the same terpene profile, it will smell the same as the source material.
