I would be very skeptical of anyone claiming to use both Butane and Co2 in the same extraction.
If it's high in terpenes it could be quite runny, my most recent cartridge is clocking in at almost 13% terpenes.

yeah, it looked kind of boilerplate text, like it was one or the other. I sent them a note.
does high in terpenes automatically mean more were added, and a carrier for them as well? are terps runny by themselves, or do they need to be cut?
trulieve and muv all day for me as well, @Vicki - I've had good luck and prices with them. I like anything memberberry!

@Vicki - @stickstones .... You guys are killing me! I finally cured my VAS and now, because of you guys, I have a raving case of CAS.
Generally speaking, a high quality extractor should not be using anything besides cannabis to make the oil. If they are adding terpenes back in, they should be the terpenes present from the original flower, which you can obtain in different ways depending on how the original extraction was performed.
Pure terpenes by themselves are very runny (like a bottle of essential oils) and even act as a liquidizer themselves for thinning the oils viscosity. High terpene percentage should mean quality flower was used which truly had a high terpene content. For perspective, I’ve got another cartridge from the same manufacturer with 6.6% terpenes. With the best cartridge manufacturers you’ll see that kind of variance. We have another company (California) who claimed a minimum of 15% terpenes in their cartridges: sounded sweet, but they had to add in exogenous, non-cannabis, plant derived terpenes to hit that arbitrary number. You really have to do due diligence on a brand to know if their terpenes are cannabis derived. I like to think most companies are getting away from the vegetable terpenes
but I know some are still selling them. I’m not sure if they have “liquid live resin” down there in your area but it’s basically BHO live resin sauce with the diamonds melted down from THCA to THC so it works in a pen. Probably my favorite vape cartridge oil, it’s truly a sauce dab in your pocket. More and more of the higher end brands are switching to this here in CA as it eliminates the entire distillation process!

Curaleaf has something they call live resin carts, but numerous people have said they are not real live resin carts. I’ve had two of them, but I’m not sure as I’ve never had live resin carts before.
MUV’s live rosin in the jar is really good!
A great live resin cartridge should be very similar to dabbing live sauce! They are usually quite a bit more expensive than a jar of sauce though due to the additional processing steps and the cartridge hardware.
Big rosin fan here, I believe Blue River licensed their tech to Truelieve for live rosin and rosin cartridges.

I also got some kind of ice-filtered trich-head rosin stuff from MUV. (Can you tell I haven't mastered extraction methods yet!?!) Shit was expensive, but amazing. I keep that it in the fridge.

That’s the live rosin! Was it $95?

You just eat it straight, with some kind of fat, for better absorption.
I’m waiting for my MUV to get more rosin and Gold, and may get more RSO next week from them.

that's the stuff. I'm very sparing with it! just hit it tonight. the first two terpy hits are super potent. got the birthday cake open
Edit:
This "One Night Stand" outdoor grow from Harvest is good. $35 an eighth. Sparkly and strong. Incredible value! I have one more outdoor from them to open later, but I'll be back for more. Outdoor for the win!

I’m looking for more of the live rosin as we speak.
I’ve had the One Night Stand from Harvest, it was pretty good.

MUV’s Gold is diamonds in sauce and the Blue is their crumble.
I just got back from Trulieve. More RSO, derived from Skunk Ape, and an oral syringe derived from Mandarin Dreams.

It’s right on the label, about half way down, will say, “derived from.”

I got some Stardawg RSO from Trulieve. I've never tried it straight. The only time I got it, it was to add a little something something to my ABVbutter. So @Vicki's post got me to try it straight.
Since it was in a syringe, I decided to use the method I do for TruClear and let it hang out in a coffee cup with water that was in the microwave for 1:00 before trying to push down on the plunger. When I did push the plunger, it went down free and easy and I dispensed half the syringe. So I think I'm about to be on a wild ride.
