hahahaha that must be what chubbs does with his hardcore OG shatter. Only way to explain the crazy cost! the transparency is on point! Put whatever you want behind your shatter.

I wasnt talkin about you just people who would do that and then bitch at me about touching my oil with my fingers or dunkin or rollin out a snake.
Im a fan of doing whatever you want with your products. I roll out fat worms or halos and people flip out because of "all the hand oils" and blah blah blah.

Im tired of the snobs. Keep up the good work. Also the first time ive seen a co2 be shatter.

Did you use a carrier solvent or do a post process dewax??



Nah, I make Absolute Shatter using the Stainless Steel Thermos method!!!!

I said goodbye to the standard traditional tube method long ago and haven't looked back since!!!

If interested let me know…..

A carrier solvent is just that. A solvent put into a co2 system so it can carry the extraction out of the system easier. Alot of home-done co2 extractions use them because they dont have a place to recycle the solvent so they have to blow it off and recover the extract from the bottom of the tank. The carrier solvent like hexane or ethanol helps you pour off the final product. This could lead to a real "purge" process and since its mixed with a solvent that isnt co2 then it might lead to that shatter consistency when purged VS the liquid consistency of most co2 oil.
Thanks for the info man. Using a solvent inside of the CO2 process seems to be self defeating form a simplicity standpoint..... also, I'm headed towards CO2 because the CO Springs Fire Marshall ain't approving new extract businesses using hydrocarbons in the near future. To answer your question, I did not use a carrier solvent - straight CO2

Damn i got confused somewhere along the way. haha Thats cool though alot of the co2 extractions dont use it anymore it was an old thing. Even tamisiums had carrier solvent how to videos. haha

Not all mine, i got a half out of it. These guys are awesome! Finally met some cats that share the same love and appreciation towards cannabis and glass as I do.

It looks really stable though so it might just be because its super thick you cant see much color/light. That on top of an already more amber brown hash could make it look like that. Plus if it started to "sugar" up a little. haha Ive had some slabs that got thick and in darker rooms it looked pretty dark in those parts.

Sorry, its a shitty cell pic in a lightly lit room, Its very very thick, about an inch thick. Heres a small piece of it. its a nice amber, a little dark, but might be strain variant, or just a bit too much heat(more than likely). Either way, this is some decent smoke, very stoney and alleviating in pain.

Yeah older material can cause darker runs. When i run 3 day old material it comes out almost clear. barely a yellow tinge.

here some stuff a dispensary I work with gave me to try, CO2 cake is what is on the label, I have also seen CO2 in these consistency that was labeled CO2 wax. This stuff does NOT come of slick pads it sticks to everything, but it is some good stuff sizzles a little on the nail but not like most CO2 oils i have tried in the past.

I think I may do a little run for science lol. Going to take 5g of nugs and try 151 Everclear to extract it. Yes 151 not 190 lol. Maybe do a side by side if possible. This 190 EC is getting kinda expensive to keep shipping, comes out costing ~1oz - $1 after I buy a 1.7l bottle. At least the 151 would be local. I'm sure the extract might look a little different but I think it should be ok.. I think... lol

Go with butane! haha. 30 bucks for a case of power 5x. Able to extract about a half LB or more.

You could also get some lab equipment to recover the alcohol but thatd take a long time and evap a lot of your flavor.

I usually do butane or ISO but figured I wanna try something different, try a full extract with just a food grade solvent. Give usCalifornia people an idea what to expect with a low proof alcohol. I've already done the winterizing method (method of choice) but this would be kewww. I'll do a 30-60 wash with frozen material and tools. I might allow the excessive water to evap on a different dish.

I would love to have that equipment but it's a little to, lab tech for me lol
