True Terpenes VISCOSITY extract liquifier LAB TESTS: Mineral oil but no terps!!

I can't edit my post above this one, my first sentence is screwed up: When I created my post I saw this one pop up above it.

Extractninja: Just a question you will be asked to answer anyway is why are you hiding your identity? I can imagine a lot of plausible answer to that, but also can't conclude that you are impartial either. No offense, staying objective is the most important always,I should have read this whole thread, but I don't have time.

I didn't want to judge early, but I think you are right and honest, cause of the profit is a large motivator on their part, so it is making a lot of sense.

All I'm saying they have to have the opportunity to face their accuser too, so someone who has the from the same batch and can reveal their identity should take your place and start legal action.
I have already been contacted by people who are considering startinga class action against TT. Big time California players. I would join it but I dont have money or time to get it rolling.

I am anonymous because TT and Future would try to ruin me for telling the truth. Sue me and sick their online army on me. I am an anonymous whistleblower. Future already is trying to out me on his site right now but hes so wrong about who I am its laughable.

Apparently being too high fucks my typing and my English is rusty, I am really sorry about that. How can I edit my posts to correct typos and stuff?

You have to have more posts to be able to fully operate your account. As I recall about 50.

As you will note reading through the posts, we are relatively casual, and spelling or grammar are not essential to convey messages.

We even misspell on purpose sometimes and given the multiple different base languages translated from, it does amazingly well.
 
People aksed so I asked and I can post this. I want my word backed up by the actual reports when possible.

Ran the sample and took a look. No terpenes whatsoever. We want to do additional tests and look further into this before we release results. What I can say is that their claims do not appear to be correct online.

Will get back to you probably next week depending on how the additional tests go.

My gut is that you may be right, that there may be mineral oil in there. – No Squalene was found.
YUP! Pretty much confirmed it today. We ran a sample of mineral oil from the store against it, and the same kind of large hump appeared.

I looks like it is just mineral oil, no terpenes or anything else. Maybe something added to make a lower viscosity that is nonvolitile.
Conclusion:
Unlike the label claim, this product contains 0 Terpenes or other volitile compounds, When compared to food grade mineral oil the chromatographs match, because of this we believe this sample appears to be mineral oil.

(This involves posts at the other board too, same as my last post in this thread.)

How much of these samples is classified as nonvolatile? This is important if you want to call it vegetable oil. Were these nonvolatiles removed before injection? This is important if the operator doesn't want to clean the column and/or inlet. Did anyone do any sample prep at all? Did anyone get a peak lone enough for MS? Did labs getting different chromatograms do things a different way?

If it wasn't done, SPE/SPME as needed shouldn't add thousands to the cost. If the nonvolatiles are not being separated, then sample prep could give separation suitable for MS.

There are the chemical treatments I've mentioned that are possible. There's also vacuum distillation to separate the most volatile part out. If you suspect vegetable oil, you could do the biodiesel treatment yourself as many others have. This converts undistillable vegetable oil to methyl or ethyl esters with well-known retention times on standard columns and programs. A combination of esters and proportions that can provide hints as to which oil.

There hasn't been any MS yet and nothing has really been identified, no? I suspect that Dr. Bob has software giving him a possible match for this and that particular time, but not calibrated in any way, like he has ever run standards of the bigger alkanes through his machine. That's what the terpene and pesticide labs do, they identify by retention time on the column compared to something known and run on their machine by their process and operators. Without this comparison with an authentic standard and especially without MS, retention time is just a guess. So much of analysis of unknowns is getting a near match from both the GC and MS data.

The naming of certain alkanes in his report has been used to justify a guess of vegetable oil, instead of the mineral oil suggested by the lab - this is where the amount of nonvolatiles comes in. Alkanes are a tiny fraction of vegetable oil - this is not mentioned by the table of alkanes of safflower oil unsaponifiables at the other site.
Thanks Joe. Great point about the table I posted at future4200. I really had no idea if what i was doing wasa correct in that post. I still believe its mineral oil in there with otehr stuff, maybe some veg oil?

I have your other posts about boiling and other advise. I have saved them and will post here in one place. I am asking labs if they can do what you suggest and i have friend with a nice extraction facility with lots of lab equipment, he may be able to do what you suggest. I will keep you up to date. I hope he can do it this weekend or next week.

I am following your and MagisterChemists advise on what testeing to get done next.

Do you know of labs i should contact? You can message me privately if you prefer.

This is supposed to be an anonymous site. Many of us are still in prohibitionland. Not sure about ninja. But I definitely understand staying anonymous, especially now with litigation talk.

I could be wrong, but the litigation talk didn't start until test results releasedd?

Seems like that's shady too, but I know nothing about law.
Anonymity serves a useful function when the subject is as controversial as cannabis. I would never have outed myself, had medical cannabis not been legal here.

Those of us whom have outed ourselves, own both the positive and negative repercussions our post elicit. Our reputations are at stake, because we can't just fade away and assume a new identity.

In point of fact, our current reputations are based on us having reliably acted the way we do.

Anonymity also has its dark side, because it allows people to treat people disrespectfully and say things they wouldn't do face to face, or even over the phone, without anonymity.

Anonymity is therefore a gift both from the standpoint of sharing, as well as those feeling the ego need to treat people poorly.

It only works, because most people take responsibility for their gift of anonymity.

Can you imagine this, or any forum surviving, if all threads were as abrasive as this one? Why would people bond and open up?

The fish trap exists only because of the fish, so its design is more effective if it is attractive to fish.

Honest question: why do people have to bond and open up? Why not just pure data sharing? Why do people have to be friends with someone they will likely never meet?

People are not robots. They share more with friends and like spirits than people that annoy them.

I think the evidence is pretty clear that Future is a True Terpenes shill

but what is the motive?

Money? Kickback? A % of sales made thru him and his forum?

He seems very unhappy that Extract Ninja was right. Why? He helped the community. Who gives a shit if he was a dickhead. I would be too if I've been saying the same thing for 6 months and people still defending these fraudsters.

Is it ego?

What the fuck is the reason why he is so sour and sugar coating the issue to they just so happened to not know it wasn't terpenes. Who is believing that lie? A person in passing said it was squalene. Another lie no one is believing. That he would put so much stake in a unconfirmed source. Its bullshit

Good point and catching more flies with honey. I have been called a robot before so maybe Im just weird and I can be rude too unfortunately. Thanks gray wolf. I respect you and think your honest and stright shooter.
 
Im just going to leave this here.


Was sent to me buy a friend. Is new from TT. This was after I started posting about Viscosity, after Future went and toured the facilty to tell us all how much we should trust TT.

I have already been contacted by people who are considering startinga class action against TT. Big time California players. I would join it but I dont have money or time to get it rolling.

I am anonymous because TT and Future would try to ruin me for telling the truth. Sue me and sick their online army on me. I am an anonymous whistleblower. Future already is trying to out me on his site right now but hes so wrong about who I am its laughable.

From the law firms standpoint its all about availability, if they still can get from the questionable product from the market, they get buyers and their testimony is a key, might as well be yours, if they cant get it elsewhere from like 15 other buyers who can prove it and will testify, they can ignore you altogether. But they can't file by them self (only allowed to represent), and this to be class action they need multiple plaintiffs. They can get a random guys to purchase, but they have to do it legally and documenting and recording all steps and then file, depends on how much money was earned and if there is the possibility of health risk, plaintiffs and the firm could make a shitload of money. So actually if the availability of collectible evidence is low then they need you desperately, supposedly they already spent some workhours on this so they are already invested. I know law firms :). So if you are a good "negotiator" call them and ask for money, so they might include you for free, make them haggle a little(you can make pretty good deals if you are talented), but good lawyers are really good at this, they can make you feel unimportant and you could think it's and investment or your part, need money to make money. But think about this: Firms often run ads to find people, and even pay them to make class action suites (well you can do this many ways, so it is not illegal per se, or almost impossible to prove), this is a business like others just regulated more. What I mean is they need people like you if they can't produce evidence now, you position in this negotiation depends on availability evidence.

I would think proving batches went across state lines and even borders would make a huge case. Makes the worst case scenario, losing in federal court and then in some extreme cases have to go to state court(s) too. All states could prove at least fraud... if proven not safe for human consumption even if they stated like: these are oils for not human consumption in the "small letter parts" they knew people buy them for that, well a big pharma company could maybe (you all read news I guess), lobby a little and shit, but TT can't.



If this allegation is true they are fucked and they absolutely deserve it.



If not then it's tragic, cause goodname can't be repaired by reparation money, and as it seems the responsible parti(es) cant be identified, so sucks from a justice stand point.


And actually right now I live in an almost police state in the EU (and this is no kidding) :( and hating it, so I understand the need for anonymity. I can go to prison for possessing weed. I just assumed most of you are from legal US states.

Says the guy who popped up only to talk shit about me?

I kicked them out and made it very public. I have openly explained how my relationship with them works multiple times. I am not an anonymous Internet user like you and EN, so my reputation is actually on the line here.
