What strain was that made with?
I believe you will need a steam distillation unit, an adapter-kit to put the steam distillation under vacuum-pressure, and a heat source (ideally a scientific hotplate with precise temperature control) to distill, vaporize, and/or sublimate. In reference to your comment on the most wholesome, full-spectrum cannabis extracts: look no further than full melt, clear dome dry sift purified using techniques of electrostatic separation. FMCD dry sift is the most whole, full-spectrum extract because of the fact that many volatile terpenes and cannabinoids are soluble and/or volatile (easily able to evaporate). Thus, all extracts besides dry sifting produce a product that has a mitigated spectrum of medicinal cannabinoids and terpenes due to solubility and/or volatility (i.e. terpenes dissolved in water when making bubble hash which leaves the water used smelling deliciously floral while the bubble hash is left with a diminished flavor and aroma).i thought about that a long time ago and i couldnt think of any reason why steam disstilation in a vacuum wouldnt work and it may actually be more plausible then what i just mentioned afterall steam distillation can remove non water solubles the only thing effecting it is the heat which would be drastically reduced in a vacuum but i was shot down by someone who now i know probly had hardly any knowledge of chemistry and thermodynamics. essential oils arent availible as single compounds unless they are synthetic so it aint likely outside oils were added. but there is definately no way they could purify and decarb it without destroying the terpenes so they certainly removed them prior but there were likely some heat that could not be sepparated from the cannabinoids which is why i dont think its entirely impossible they could concoct different flavours from other cannabis plants which i would have no problem with. there are other procceses that other ppl use to get higher thc, i dont think they do this though like converting or removing other cannabinoid into cbd or thc and then controling the amount by mixing them. many ppl feel that all the cannabinoids are important. in my mind the aboslute best and most natural cannabis concentrate would certainly more likely be from clear concentrates and not budder king or anything that high in thc. even a pure cannabinoid product with no impurities, terpenes or alterations would not have thc levels like BK. Im going to try my own more basic vacuum based extraction i recently rebuilt a liquid ring vacuum pump capable of 29"Hg which is twice the vacuum of 28"HG it imploded those plastic dessicators like nothing and even the stainless steel best value chambers on ebay turned into a crushed beer can so im gunna have to build one ill try both with and without steam in both cases the herb will be heated with long wave infrared very very low temperature but penetrates through everything and give a perfect thermal equilibrium the constant flow of expanding steam being sucked away then cooled and collected should definately quicken the proccess. the pump i have is perfect i replaced all seels with a perflouroelastomer wich is elastic but the low friction and inert properties of ptfe but even more heat resistant, the pump was designed for pharaceuticals the liquid ring part of it reduces the the wear and friction drastically reducing particulates so the water and everything else can actually pass right through it and be cooled and collected at pressure rather than in the vacuum, this could be an advantage

The trick is harvesting with clear trichome heads, also this was run frozen, 3-4 days after harvest. Not to potent but a flavor bomb
I've noticed BHO made with fresh frozen material often produces a less pure product due to water content of fresh frozen material being released and pulling out undesirables such as plant lipids, waxes, and chlorophyl. Have you experienced or noticed this, Wavegem?

Long ways from reeferland,looks like you have been picking up a few tricks. I would smoke that if passed...
The essential oil industry uses cold pressing and dry steam to extract mono and sesquiterpenes, but diterpenes like cannabinoids are a push, so they typically use a solvent.
You can vaporize the terpenes and re-condense them, or indeed fractionally distill them with heat, but you won't end up with any of the carboxylic acid forms left and they will be darker, because of caramelized plant sugars.
A young early harvest (clear trichomes) Sativa, extracted fresh frozen, will produce colors even lighter colored than the ones shown, even extracted with butane.
Lol @sealed138 you sure did! I was just going to post that.View attachment 378992
