The Not So Solventless Clear Concentrate From Harborside!

[Daub Marley]

The particular distillation he is talking about is called sublimation and it can be used to separate cannabinoids and terpenes from crude extracts.

Sublimation is the process of phase change from a solid to gas skipping the liquid phase in between. It may be a name for a part of the distillation process, but not the entire distillation tek. They use microwave distillation like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXDS2KqsB8o

Thank you for this thread. I actually tried it out once only because it was a 420 special. Paid 40 instead of 60, tasted pretty great of a Ti nail. Oh well, never again. One love!

ive tried the solventless just a few times and it always is a citrus flavor and it looks way crazy. ive seen it clear but also with what i think is orange(ish) food coloring to make it look more "normal". i dont waste my money on it because its way too expensive but if a friend has some ill dab it up. all the "solventless" that i have tried has been incredibly smooth on the inhale but gets me on the exhale. tasty and potent but like i said i dont buy it. give me good shatter anyday

Am I missing something here? If all your doing is using a extraction that's dry, how does the THC get extracted? My understanding is that just simply extracting the essential oil is not necessarily going to pull off any of the resin on the surface of the plant. I'm still very new about learning about this, but I was under the impression that you need to use some solvent or fat that the THC will stick to. Can someone please enlighten me. It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

its funny on instagram i commented on a photo saying or you could just buy your own microwave hydrodiffusion setup and buy everyones oil thats too shitty to smoke and turn it to raw clear .. and dude laughed and said something about tinfoil hats basically trying to make me look dumb then i said im not talking about a reg microwave im talkin about milestones neos gr. He shut up forawhile and then only thing he could say was " you forgot the part where we use in house material" hahahaha its funny they still try and keep it secret

Lol. In house material. They just started their in house gardens. Looks like refine Seattle/xtracted probably does use all in house material. This is what the clear guys wanted, to expand their tek to other states with the "clear" branding. I know this because they told me they would help me bring it to MI. I figured it out a couple weeks later though.

Ive been told by a couple people supposedly in the know that this isnt how they make clear. I dont care if it isnt, even tho i still think it is, Im still getting one. Ive met with milestone and am in talks. Im scooping an older model to learn MHD. I will be microwave distilling all my meds in the near future.

MEMED, any clue what the tag is on either of the NEOS units? As expected its not really something that they choose to list..I spent a while searching a few weeks back.

About 30k for the gravity feed

insitu. This tek uses the water thats in the biomass, in this case the oil, to make the magic happen. Even tho it is technically a dry distillation, theres still some moisture in there..

Thanks for the reply. My only hangup is if you're not using anything to strip the trichomes off the outside, then how are they transferring into the essential oils extracted from the inside? If you do a steam extraction, you don't get any of the trichomes, just the oil from the inside of the plant material. Am I wrong thinking like this? I honestly don't really understand why they called it extracting, when what is really going on is the stripping of the resin on the outside, because all the good stuff isn't in the internal oils. Maybe I'm just off on my thinking.

Another interesting thing is that the werc shop charges for co2 extraction, then on top of that another charge to clean it. So you have a per # fee for co2, then a per gram fee to clean the co2 concentrate. They make it sound like a 2 step process

I'm trying. I've read the thread a couple if times.Like I said before I'm very new to this and just trying to understand it a little. Honestly, it's very expensive to have material processed by these companies, so I just want to be somewhat out of the dark, so I don't get abused by these guys doing it for us.
