You can add terpenes to compensate for losses during extraction, either using essential oils, or extract them right along with the cannabis essential oils, by putting things like lemon peel or pine needles in the column with the cannabis.
The list of opportunities is almost endless. Check out a good book on essential oils chemistry, such as The Chemistry of Essential Oils Made Simple, by David Stewart.
Page 578 for instance lists 57 sources of the two Pinenes and 37 sources of the two Limonenes. There are of course many more terpenes available.
No experiences to share yet, as we have just started experimenting, but I will report back when we do have anything worthwhile.
I haven't run pine needles through a column, but have Douglas Fir, which is a lot higher in both a-Pinene and b-Pinene than Pine.
I have always used coconut oil in my extracts and besides making it distinctive and burn nice it reminds me of the beach, LOL. I do my extractions with hexaine. My big issue with adding things to anything you ingest is what does it become when you carbonize it? (burn it)
do you mean you ran douglas fir alone or you ran some mixture of cannabis and Fir together in the same column?
I will do some more reading and studying in regards to the terpenes, as I lack understanding of its role and function.
SO IF I WAS GONNA RUN AN OZ OF TRIM N POPCORN...HOW MANY ACTUAL PINE NEEDLES YOU THINK LIKE A FEW OR A BUNCH? N IT DOESNT OVERPOWER IT?
I use Hexane as the solvent for primary extraction. I use the Coconut as it is used in cooking and other heated applications. I have used it in my DaVinci and V-tower with no issues and I use a nail in my bong also. Works great. I don't get to concerned about some things that we burn as we burn lots of stuff on the stove and BBQ worse than Coconut oil in a pipe or bowel, I also use the Coco in my hash's. Anyway just thought I would share my experiences with you.
My oil can be put in caps or smoked or vaped, dabbers love it.
Peace
