So I am blessed to be in the northeast where I have ready access to bulk thc distillate along with live resin etc.
I like distillate because I take 50mg gel capsules and put a little 10mg dab of distillate to make discreet no calorie edibles for back pain. I usually do a few dozen at a time.
So anyways I have noticed there are two different types of distillate. One I have gotten is lighter and still has a little bit of a weed taste left. The other one I have gotten is a bit more amber and has no weed taste left. The lighter distillate becomes fluid at a slightly lower temp too.
At first I assumed the lighter one had been cut with something but found its potency to be spot on and there is no fruity fake flavors. (I use and highly recommend fogg flavor labs terpenes when I do refill carts).
So anyways what I have gathered from reading is that there are two methods; short path distillation and wiped film evaporation.
My guess is the former produces the more amber, less flavorful result while the wiped film produces a more flavorful product. I also understand wiped film is more scalable and that would also correspond to the relative size of the two vendors.
Does this seem right?
