When you run fresh frozen, does it turn out more of a wax? And does the yield suffer? I have a buddy that gets stuff from Colorado and its a waxy type of a product but it has a insane flavor. I was always under the impression that was fresh frozen.
From the "fresh frozen" stuff we see out here in Co, it can be wax/budder/shatter just dep on temp and purge. I find the wax from freshfro to be considerably more flavorful then any extracts made from slightly decarb meds. A very interesting case point is green dot labs, utilizing entire plant extracts from cryogenically frozen material (thinking this is their lab grade fresh frozen but with a cryo freeze or liq nitrogen) as well as a signature thin film purge for every g sold. only place in CO that has an industry employee following and gets 65/g. I can't afford it but it's awesome to watch and learn and replicate as closely as one can. Plus a few of my buds have been fanboys from the getgo and have picked up every drop of every strain, talking next level extracts a true treat to behold. Of course always nice have some of my own grown/blown that pops their tops too, i digress...
as for crazy BHO stories, when I first saw it made in Cali it was 2 brothers rolling around the ukiah area with 4ft x 2in dia pvc with a drilled cap on one end and hose clamped screen on the other. filthy harsh nasty oil it was the first time i'd seen a lb stuffed and blown onto straight sliding glass doors there was so fucking many cans of tane used.
