Although what your saying is true, this thread is about using limonene as an extraction solvent, not for reintroducing to old/bad product/ adding flavoring.

more to come, the red are posted by horatio, not the most eloquent, but clearly decipherable.
i have yet to follow the rabbit hole.

I have been researching Horatio's work for quite some time. The timing of this thread coincides well with the timing of my first attempt at LHO shatter. I started yesterday and got winterized, stable pull and snap "shatter" today. It isn't discernible visibly from BHO from the same material. Smell and taste of faint Limonene but smoother than BHO. Will need to do more washes next time. I am sending it in for testing and will report back. I had the advantages of:
1. studying this for months given the knowledge that Horatio has made public.
2. I was patient and waited until I had the necessary equipment available.
3. If I didn't at least get to try one run, my brain would have exploded from not having an outlet after all the seeds Horatio had planted.
It has a lot of potential.

awesome to hear!
if this works it has incredible potential, particularly at an industrial scale, I'm just imagining acres of cannabis extracted all at once in large ss vessels with less pressure or explosive gas concerns.

but how do your distill out limonene without distilling out many more desirables

Gotta be able to remove any and all taste and smell of Limonene ...... or it ain't ever gonna fly I'm afraid. People generally hate that smell, taste.

Not only that .... but what must you do to the Limonene prior to using it as a solvent? Initial distillation?
this is where I'm confused.
speaks for itself
couple rounds of steam distillation at vacuum, tossing the heads(or saving for further distillation) also, start with as clean a source as possible.

Yeah the tests speak for themself ........... the flavor is what I was referring to. Does it resemble "Pure Gold" ?
DMT NEXUS and Mycotopia Are the place for data about using limonene for extractions. the other sites where this is coming from are using the Nexus data and Mycotopia also.
I've been using limonene for over a decade extracting DMT Mescaline, and more. and yes ganja oil also, but only with pyrex not a cls, the resulting product was less than desired.
its common knowledge. go to the entheogen sites and study extraction methods...blue light mycotopia dnt nexus and others the data is there and that's where this Horatio is getting the ideas from. He didn't come up with the idea, maybe the cls use but the extraxtion shit has been happening for over a decade with orange oil.
Terps are KNOWN poisons in large amounts and the proof is there but stoners refuse to accept the FACTS.
It will be shown dabbers lung is from to many concentrated terps. this has been seen in the past in the 80's when terps became popular in the new age movement and color healing with aromatherapy, people tried puffing them back them in the movement and getting sick.
Terps work in tiny amounts and then become a negative things after theyare concentrated,
Terps are not concentrated in nature and they only work for healing in very tiny amounts, this is a known fact.
if you want limonene extraction data got to the nexus and read the threads there.
grow up I'll post where ever I reel like.

55% total actives seems somewhat low, even with the 7 percent terpene concentration. And especially for a concentrate that clear.
Intriguing info! New to me but now I'll be more aware
an acid/base precip using limonene as your non-polar is miles apart from an azeotropic distillation of limonene from cannabinoids under vacuum.
and again, at the risk of repeating myself, the goal is to remove the solvent completely.
that's not at all what i wanted to hear
ok, so even in a proper short path setup, limonene isn't coming out? or are you saying his gear isn't good enough.
even if it needed to pass through a WFE like pope, or the new helderpad, it still is a good industrial option, no?
The boiling point of d-limonene is much higher than D9-THC and D8-THC and very close to CBN. Short path isn't going to get it out even with very precise control. There's going to be a lot of degradation of THC into CBN as well....
Look up the boiling points, don't take my word for it.

couldn't you just make it into "the clear" then? distill the thc out of the limonene?
but then the whole point of azeotropic distillation is that the water you add to the oleoresin saturated limonene lowers the boiling point of the limonene. he claims to be boiling it off at 110*f or less. edit: thats 110 under vacuum.

I boiled mine off at about 120f. The bulk of it came out pretty quickly. I used about a gallon of water to distill a pint in less than an hour.
