I was looking at this. Its for alcahol and the temperature is controllable. Isn’t the idea to extract the canabinoids and recover the alcohol? This seems to do it it leaves the extract in the container or crucible and condenses the alcahol back to the receptacle so can be repaired back onto the bottle. The distill temps are still way below any temp that would destroy terpenes and the alcohol actually gets closer to the 200 proof each time its ran through. Im not in any way trying to be argumentative. I’ve been very interested in the extraction process and maintaining terrine integrity as thats the whole purpose of the extraction. A close friend has been making whiskey for decades has looked at what im trying to achieve suggested this. So I’m going to try this and then going to look at using a small refrigerant recovery machine that will use vacuum instead of heat to evaporate the alcohol and condense it into an acceptable container. The source turbo uses the vaccine method to lower the oiling point of the alcohol to near room temp and that looks great. But looking at the temperatures that terpenes are damaged are still very high 300+ °f that’s still well below the temp of any distiller. If I’m wrong about the terpene temps please educate me as I’m wanting to learn all I can. This conversation is helpful to that end.
