Similar to what they do with the clear?? Just cause ive heard its nasty and everyone just likes the RAW clear. They say the terps are too strong and "spicy" almost like a harshness in the flavor.
From my understnding this is still strictly R&D to replicate known brand favorite strains in order to replicate the "essence" into designer oils for a national market. This pertains to two of the largest CO born dispo's run as franchise operations with in house strains and extracts at every location, in each host med, med/rec state. These folks are not just playing catch up either I've seen run downs on strain profiles still in the clutches of the former CA now CO breeders gear. It's not so much they're going to take away from connoisseur extracts but that they're actively looking for ways to rebrand the current and about to drop next level genetics to a larger demographic.

Ah i got it so theyre not adding anything to the extract but more trying to find a mix of strain ratios to make specific flavors come out in the final product?? I was more thinking you were talkin about what the people who make "THE CLEAR" are doing and adding food grade terpenes to "THE CLEAR RAW" to restore the flavor thats lost in the process of making it.

But what youre saying sounds much better. If were on the same page hahaha.

haha no doubt budbro we were hella slabbed when hanging so I asked my friend for clarification. he said it IS to recreate strain profiles with food grade terps in order to keep product consistency on the commercial production side of manufacture.

he says it's def not the same as adding a few drops of d-limo for that classy orange bud flavor because they're using lab grade terpene separators and dosing machines.

Yeah thats what the guys making the CLEAR and shit are doing too. If he can get it right hes onto something but its just hard to recreate it with the smoothness of the original terpenes found in the original material being extracted thats trying to be recreated.

Hey @budbro18 do you see anything I need here besides a vacumme pump and to fill the tank,

Mabey a cooler for the ice water bath? For when I'm trying to re collect the butane?

http://www.bestvaluevacs.com/cls1lb.html

Doesnt look too bad. I personally like having a tri clamp "solvent tank" so i can get in there and clean em out after distilling but im assuming the one theyll send will be clean to start with. The tanks are perfect for overnight/long term storage so youll need one anyway at some point.

Id honestly try going with something a little smaller but more dialed. Theres a ton of people on instagram making systems and getting them tested/rated. Not to say that best value vacs is bad. just kinda limiting in some ways. but for the cheaper price i guess thats what ya get.

And i personally like thinner tubes for closed loops than the 2-3-4" diameter ones. i like a good ole 1.5" but thats just my preference. IMO able to do quicker runs without as much of a "soak"

That could be another downside to the system youre looking at is that its made to do an LB but doesnt have a valve to lock it off from the collection chamber which means you wont be able to get a "soak" of the larger material. But some people just do single washes some do double washes, some just long soaks, etc....

Its tough because only you really know what you need and not working with any CLSs makes it hard for you to pick exactly what you want.

Either way youll have a good system as long as you dont go with super shitty companies like bhogart and the likes.

Thank you for the info it helps a lot it's a big decision for me ha, and oo wow I didn't notice that it didn't have a valve to soak for a long time, iv seen those open blast tubes that have valves so you can shut it and leave it pressurized for a while then release it. Do you think those are any good iv seen them for like 200 at my local smoke shop.
Do you think the smaller 60-90 gram one would be better for the smaller tube?
It's like $500 cheaper also.

Yeah id get this one: http://www.bestvaluevacs.com/extractorkit.html

That way you have everything to run minus butane and vac but you can get the package with their vac or grab one of your own either way youll be fine.

The best part is that to upgrade you could buy parts from places like glacier tanks. Get another 12"x1.5" tube, another gasket or 2, a tri clamp and boom youve doubled your material tube for under $100. Then if you really wanna go hard buy either another 12"x1.5" tube on top of those 2, or just get a 2 foot tube to begin with and a 6x6 spool, gasket and tri clamp and for under $200 you can now run a half lb or so pretty easily.

And the best best part is that its all interchangable. Lets say you get a big bag of trim to run, you strap up the big tubes with teh big collection chamber. Then maybe youre runnin a couple zip nug run, you drop down to 1 or 2 of the tubes and maybe keep the extra big collection chamber to give yourself a little more pull through the tube.

Either way youll have somethin good. Grab the can tapper and vac pump in the combo order if you dont have either of them because you will need them.

As far as supplies for recovery you could get 2 coolers. Or a cooler and a hot plate pot big enough to fit the extractor

If you really want to go hard you can get an emersion cooker heating element. Some have digital controls, some analog, some are just fixed to only heat to a certain temp. Either way if youre just using it for recovery youre good.

Hope that helped!

So, just curious. What does a zip of commercial grade wax or shatter go for in Colorado?
what your definition of commercial?

the shit at the stores they sell by the gram all the way up some places will give price breaks but the quality is usually shit unless your paying 60 a gram, but in the grey area you can find killer stuff for 500 to 700
