Immediately after pouring it from the Source:
Less than a day of evap on a heat mat:
I’ll post pics of it from today in a bit.

Look at it! Oh, it’s so beautiful! I was just stirring it a bit, so it’s not all smooth and perfect.
Tomorrow, I’m going to add some terps (Durban Poison, Sour Diesel, or White Widow) and MCT to make some very smooth tincture.
Now, if I can get my THC extracts to go like this, I will be ready to make my own THC vape carts, at home, using exactly what I want, and nothing more. Eventually, I’ll use the CBD in carts, but I need a good stockpile of tincture, first.

I make extracts, distillate and feco/rso. Alcohol extraction pulls higher amounts of chlorophyll and will definetly be very noticable vaping. A closed loop extraction with butane produces a more palatable experience to dab or vape.
No thank you to the butane. I’ll stick with ethanol in my home extracts.

I completely understand your thinking. Make sure you dont use cooking spray as it contains both isobutane and propane as a propellant. There is a reason why alcohol isnt the top produce extract. It strips chlorophyll and brings esters, waxes, lipids and fats with it in large proportions. As a tincture it is good. As dab material it is terrible. I use many solvents including high grade 200 proof alcohol in making distillate. I am aware what it does to any dissolved substance including material. I find in my research that other solvants for dabable extracts are best suited with butane/propane/isobutane. At the end of the day we should compare lab results so you have a better understanding of what I use.

I am aware of all of that. I still prefer alcohol for a solvent. I honestly don’t need a better understanding of what you use .
I don’t send my stuff in for lab testing. I don’t sell or anything. Everything I make is for personal use. I don’t see any reason to spend money on lab tests for myself. Hence why I won’t use any process that adds more dangerous solvents. I, for one, have ZERO intentions of ever using butane/propane/isobutane in my extracts
This thread is about a very specific extraction process. I absolutely understand there’s a plethora of options out there. However, I am doing alcohol extractions using The Source and ultrasonics. That’s what fits in my life. That’s what currently works for me.

I added about ½ gram of the oil and 3 drops of Blue Dream terps together, and put it in a new vape cart & battery. Honestly, doesn’t taste too bad, considering. Can’t wait to practice, practice, practice!
The rest is going to be turned into tincture. I prefer CBD via tincture, though I enjoy CBD carts immensely; the carts aren’t as effective for me, but they sure do taste good.

4 grams of CBD oil
30ml MCT
4 drops of terps (I actually mixed 2 sets of strain terps in an attempt to load this with lots of linalool and humulene–Durban Poison and White Widow)
Tastes very good. No burn.

Are you aware it is possible to use terpines to make oil from cannabis ? (Use as the solvent)
What?! Lol! That seems silly, to me. Why would anybody waste all that money do that? Seems kinda crazy, to me. I figure the extracts have some strain terps in them, from the starting material, then I can add just a few drops for extra medicinal value.
Seriously, why extract using terpenes? There is such as thing as too many terps, which can be dangerous for ingestion and inhalation.
Besides, my 6 1ml bottle of terps cost me over $60. I can’t even imagine the exorbitant cost of extracting cannabis oil using terpenes.
