yucksorta confused, considering THC and most CBDs are not water soluble so I cant really see how steam extraction could work without being at such a heat and pressure that the active ingredients would vaporize or otherwise be activated/destroyed.
ive heard of steam extraction for medical purposes, but the whole point of steam extraction in these cases is to NOT get any THC out of the plant, and only take the essential oils.
anyways I'd love some technical reasoning if you can provide it
Huck_NorrisI swear, OP is the stoner even other stoners can't stand.
.Duncan.Post the companies name so we can look into it more you idiot.
yuckread his post. he did, the company is called xtracted labs.

they dont give too much technical explanation though.
OP have you tried many other solvent based extracts? the taste you are describing sounds pretty similar to basically all the oils ive tried. if purged properly, the solvent should be basically entirely gone. the sweet flavors are basically what all oils taste like IMO
also 96% THC is a pretty outrageous number, the strongest other oils i have heard of are in the 80s and so damn strong theyre unusable for most people. and you said 96% per gram... which doesnt make sense as percentages are otherwise unitless. (in this case it would be mass/mass, units always cancel for percentages)( 96% per g implies that concentration decreases with mass ie: 2 grams would be 48%, 3 grams would make 32% etc. ) you know what i mean?

Sir.BluntingtonYeah I have tried too many extracts, I have probably smoked a half pound of oil in my time. Over the summer a friend of mine purchased a CO2 extractor. Trust me when you open the containers for these oils they are filled with a pungent sweet nectar smell its crazy loud smelling.

If you go there you can find the test results. there are 13.9% terpenes present in this oil, thats the steam distilled stuff.

This is regular bho, its 8.6% terpenes.
I know that regular bho can taste amazing but the distilled oils are incredibly tasty. Its literally like smoking candy no joke and it taste amazing every time.
Those guys run tests on rec bud for the state so they are fairly accurate.
ANDR01D96% per g does not imply that the concentration decreases with mass.
If I have one gram of oil (assuming this is a weight %), then I have .96 g of THC. If I have two grams of oil, then I have 1.92 g THC, 1.92g/2g=.96 or 96% THC.
yuckthink about this purely in dimensions. a percentage is an expression of some unit divided by a larger value of the same unit. think of on a test you get 76 marks out of 100 marks, its 76%.
what you said in your last sentence, you are describing a regular percentage, given in mg/g it would be 960mg/g (which is typically how concentrations are expressed, or as a regular percentage).
% per gram is technically (g/g)/g ... which is just a nonsense unit but its no big deal.

Sir.BluntingtonI was stoned for a while yesterday after a dab and skipped out on getting meds.

CoreyTrevorShould we be concerned about this?
KayngBayngi dont like extracts, quite honestly smoking weed isn't supposed to be getting as fucked up as possible, that doesn't even make sense. Extracts killed a lot of my buddies, and my anxiety, they're expensive as fuck and make me forget things like crazy.
dab pieces are dumb expensive, super small, and annoying to use or clean.
I dont get it
CoreyTrevorShould we be concerned about this?
Jeebus.Thats not that much, the Live Resin here in denver tests above 20% terpenes
Sir.BluntingtonDistilled oils can be much higher than 20% because they distill their oils and refine the terpenes.
97% terpenes basically no thc but this is an example of what they are capable of doing.

207This whole thread is priceless. I've been dying laughing at all the people discussing the science behind it and using fancy words and then the people trolling them like Huck Norris, thanks for the laughs guys!
