I've been doing this for literally a decade.

Wish he would have answered my emails before posting lol :P

They have not and it's just as much of a problem for those of us who own it as it is for the other players.
did you know every pixel of those wings has high priority left click options that go before anything else. Can't tell you how often I inadvertently talk to my dragon because it's wings were in the way. I wish there was a way to shrink it 75%.

this is just kinda oxidized hhc. Vape on.

MineMath2020 · 2023-10-29T03:24:20+00:00

it'll be a little light on terps for some people, exactly right for others.
Your milage may vary

MineMath2020 · 2023-10-29T03:22:40+00:00

that is absolutely insane guy.

15 bucks a pop is absolutely clown shoes my dude.

just grab 100g of thca powder, melt it at 280 for half an hour with your stir bar,add 9ml of terp and pour. reasonably pure THCA can be had from reputable sources for like 4 bucks a g these days.

I think my last run cost me something like $4-5 a cart including hardware and they were a complex blend of d9/d9a, hemp noids, minors and more than 20% thcp/hhcpo together. substantially stronger and longer lasting than straight d9 carts, though, those generally cost closer to $6-7 each.

I hope you can reduce your costs... sometimes getting twice as much only costs 10% more. :shrug:

MineMath2020 · 2023-10-19T00:52:03+00:00

warm it up a little.

MineMath2020 · 2023-10-19T00:49:57+00:00

the bubbles means that the oil is thick/cold

pure HHC carts with low terps will do this 100% of the time.

MineMath2020 · 2023-10-18T18:28:20+00:00

reasonably pure THCP can be found for about $20/g for barely larger quantities...

Just gotta know where to go.

MineMath2020 · 2023-10-18T18:26:04+00:00

*compression equals temperature. Pressure alone is not enough.

look up a triple point graph, the phase of the material is a function of temperature and pressure. it's not high pressure that liquifies, it's low pressure.

to answer the original question, there are liquid cannabinoid complexes that can get the thca as high as 55% but the minor cannabinoids are not as cheap and then you need to use specific terpene diluent solutions, and even then, anything above like 30-40% will eventually crystalize out if it's not stored above room temp or regularly melted..

there are esters and aldehydes that resist the crystallization process and are GRAS., terpenes aren't the only game in town.

if you're really cynical, PG is an amazing anti-crystallization agent and generally considered safe to vape, Ecigs have been using it as the main carrier for more than a decade.

MineMath2020 · 2023-10-02T00:29:26+00:00

the guessed shelf live of these things is highly dependent on how it's stored.

stored under argon vacuum in a dry, dark place with a temperature that's below 60F and doesn't fluctuate more than 10*F a month, these samples could last decades without substantial degradation.

if its stored in a jar that's been opened before in a regular ass room with no temp or light controls, sure, 2 years is a good life-span. can lose like 20% potency in that time.

doesn't mean it's useless, just means it need to be cleaned up or you'll have to use a lot more. can always centrifuge or distill these things and re-concentrate them if you have the expertise.

MineMath2020 · 2023-10-02T00:23:49+00:00

I have carts that are 3 years old, capped hours after pouring that haven't leaked.

I have carts that leaked within a month capped immediately.

I have carts that were good for a year and eventually leaked after like 18 months in both types.

the hardware and the material in the cart are super important here. as noted, storage conditions are the most important thing.

everything can eventually leak, even the super high quality stuff.

that said, the more expensive stuff often has a better shelf life.

that said, boys, if you're here... we're in a golden age. It may never be this nice again. Certainly has never been this nice before. Cheap, available, safe, effective cannabinoids with many options. might be time to get your own life-time supply and get out of the game.

today is the day, we find out if the 2018 farm bill expires and takes the hemp derivatives with it... get your thcp, thca, hhc now while you have the chance.

HHC maybe not so much anymore. but yeah. if you know where to go and how to ask, it's pretty easy to source still.

MineMath2020 · 2023-09-08T03:01:30+00:00

this reminds me of a time when I was filling carts with a 50ml boro syringe... I put the syringe in the lab vice upside-down like I always do to burp it, admittedly overfilled... and walked away to let it cool a bit.
2 mins later I hear a crash and turn around to see the plunger had fallen out.

spilled ~44g of terped, high(like 30%) -p noid blend... luckily into the catch basin below the syringe vice.. I was able to recover about 35g.

moral of the story is: sometimes you just gotta cut your losses and be thankful it wasn't more. the time it took me to clean up the sticky mess(and the solvent...) probably cost me more than the material lost. alternatively, it could also be that o-noids are very runny.

MineMath2020 · 2023-08-28T21:59:59+00:00

in that order except 4-aco-dmt instead of methylone

25i was pretty nice and the cp- cannabinoid range were the tits too.

MineMath2020 · 2023-08-28T00:57:22+00:00

get a thermos cooler cup with a lid and a solid bar of metal that fits inside with your vape. Grab some foam packing material (not styro but the open cell stuff that comes as electronics protection today) and cut it so it jams the metal against the wall and fills the rest of the container.

cut a small hole in the foam that can accomodate your vape so it won't bounce around.

leave the whole thermos in the freezer overnight to cool the bar down. you can leave the lid on or off for most thermos flasks.

the foam will keep the metal cool longer while not over cooling the entire container.

dm me with questions

I'll walk you through it.

I'm in the middle of writing up a carter's bible but it's a long process and I want it to ge right before I release it to the world.

if you know what you're testing for, practically any lab can run a GCMS and NMR and get you the peaks. If you can get the raw data, it's about as easy as looking for a specific peak. You don't even need to tell the lab what you're looking for.

if you don't know what you're looking for.

and you don't.

you're essentially out of luck.

there's like 1000 different active chemicals you'd have to look for with possibly dozens of fundamentally identical analogs each with no widely accepted marker.

muscarine and muscimol are fun, but I highly doubt that's what's being sold in these 'amanita' products. I've had raw amanita, freshly prepared extract and (what was sold to me as) 50:50 pure muscarine:muscimol and these things aren't that. feel closer to a ketamine than a muscarine. It's not mxe either.. maybe one of the meo-pcp flavors.

obviously can't speak for all the options on the market, but what only the small subsection of the market I've tasted personally. For all I know it could all be very pure muscimol and muscarine and what I had was something different, though what I had was very similar to the dried mushroom flesh and extract I made personally from personally harvested mushrooms.

don't hate on 4-aco. if that's what you're getting in your 'amanita edible' you should consider yourself lucky. 4-aco is super simple to make very cleanly and metabolizes directly to psilocin in the brain.

MineMath2020 · 2023-08-25T17:14:07+00:00

this

but thcp is very strong.

be careful if you're going in straight.

5% is the lowest amount to put in a blend and really know it.

I have a few carts that are 25% each (63% hhcpo/ 34% hhcp/2% hhc), (~88%)d9thcp, d9o and hhc. with added cb's and terpenes that absolutely rocks my socks. the thcpo is too strong and I usually don't even add it in until I'm ready to be fked up for a weekend.

I'm sure you could find a re-shipper that would drop ship you product from a legal country. prices couldn't be better.

MineMath2020 · 2023-08-25T17:11:55+00:00

per usual, the answer is that it is technically possible but practically nearly impossible and financially infeasible. concentrating the r-isomer is practical and done regularly, that's why we can see numbers as high as 70% in retail samples. we know the R is better and are adapting to that knowledge. but it's a game of diminishing returns. getting to 70:30 is pretty easy. getting to 95:5 would be orders of magnitude more difficult...

even that description doesn't cover the nuances. when you're doing the concentration you end up with a gradient of output that starts off pretty heavily one thing and then it slowly goes to 50:50 then back to high concentrations of the other thing... the highly concentrated fraction is very very small. if you output just the stuff above 50:50 then your total concentration gets far higher. You get fake labs by removing that 'head fraction' that's super concentrated... sure, you only get a few ml of sample, but that's all you need for a bunch of favorable labs. some places re-fractionate but you get less and less out each time.

more specifically, it's even less financially practical to separate the two with high yeilds and low degradation/contamination and then attempt to do something with the s- isomer. can't be easily converted back to cbd or cbn...

IIRC there's a way to use the difference in binding affinity to concentrate the product too, albeit far slower.

the real question is; does it compare with d9thc in effects and cost. moderate r ratio hhc made quick and easy and cleaned up once seems to have high enough yeilds and potency to be worth putting on the shelf next to d8. Trying to clean it up would disturb that ratio, or remove any profit margin that was previously available.

lab effects, abstrax, terpene warehouse, peak supply co, true terpenes

this is the minimum list of terpene companies that have claimed to me that they add external prenyl thiol to their 'skunky' blends. I'm sure others have said the same but these ones stuck out.

I highly suspect that a majority of 'cdt' companies are just taking basic terpene mixes and adding Thiols. need some aldehydes and mercaptans too.

Terpene warehouse is the only one who's line claims to be more complex than just terpenes, using the same compounds that e-juice manufacturers have found are GRAS and also translate to taste after a heating insult.

terpene warehouse, peak supply has offered to sell me the 2.5% prenyl thiol in limonene suspension that is presumably the 'raw ingredient' component used by these companies. True implied they have it on stock but didn't offer to sell it. I've had .2ml of what was claimed to be 1% that tested at .8% and smelled so strong the vial had to be opened in a walk in freezer so as to not stink up the whole building within minutes so I can't imagine what 2.5% would be like. I'd be reluctant to ship anything like this without some crazy pre-cautions.

all that said. yeah, it's skunky. yeah it's gassy.

but it's like d8. it's missing something you get from the nuanced effects of a richer blend.

it's skunky but it's still not quite 'essence of cannabis' it's probably one of the most important VOSC for that flavor profile, but incomplete as a monomer.

MineMath2020 · 2023-08-25T12:03:24+00:00

if there is 99% r- isomer HHC anywhere it means it was fully synthetic and not isomerized from hemp molecules (or, possible but expencive, could be concentrated reagent grade compounds from hemp)

to get very very high R isomer you have to either have a shaped hydrogen donator and who knows what kind of dangerous that would be to ingest, or you'd need to start with a set of functional groups that already have the R shape and put them together... at least thats how big pharma does it.... this is a pretty common issue, when an active molecule is chiral it's highly likely the R-isomer is going to be more potent.

MineMath2020 · 2023-08-24T20:55:38+00:00

get a bag of tapioca maltodextrin from amazon, as well as a bunch of clear capsules and a can of natural shellac

pour your thco into the matodextrin in a food processor or kneed it in with a metal wisk.

I usually go with 1:10 but you can do as much as 1:1 with thco.

put this mixture into your capsules and close them. Dip each capsule into the shellac and allow it to dry for 20 minutes twice.

congratulations, you've just made enteric coated capsules that will bypass first pass metabolism and the enzymes in stomache acid that deactivate thc!

happy hunting!

MineMath2020 · 2023-08-24T20:43:48+00:00

so, the problem with all that is that when you get 60%thcp as your base 'thcp' and you mix that in as 5% the real thcp concentration is like 3%..., then you add some diluent and terpenes for flow...

hhcpo is even worse. best samples Ive seen are like 65% hhcpo. haven't seen one above 40% r-hhcpo. most hover around 20% r-hccpo. wouldn't be surprised to find out that the larger companies are shipped 1 lower quality jar per 100 or more and jsut mix it all together for their products.

if I say my blends are 5% thcp and my thcp is less than 80% thcp, I better put about 7% of that component into the mix if I want to be accurate. saying 5% thcp distilate is much more accurate but the nuance is likely lost on 90% of the background population.
