I have seen Co2 being made, it's a legit product.
Ah, so! It was you! At least I recalled it was someone......
Thanks for confirming at least part of my memory still works.

OF i saw that red oil in my online lookabout, like the sunshine red oil from the old days, we called it cherry oil? topnotch looking stuff.
anyway, are you saying its verified as Co2 oil because it is such a lovely red?
i really knew i would stir up a hornets nest with this, I suppose i felt froggy, but OF, DubC...my intentions are not to be antagonistic. i just likes me some hard evidence. especially when my own (completely biased of course) personal experience begs to differ.
my personal experience suggests that tamisium style bho extractors, rotovaps, coldfingers, and the odd separation flask or vacuum bell is the extent of technological investment that makes sense when concentrates retail at a price point never higher than $100 a gram, and often half of that.
so:
sorry if i got some folks mad, i am having a positivism issue with the belief system surrounding Co2 oil.
for those that keep faith...well what can you say to the faithful?
edited to ask:
how can one differentiate between 100%purged oil made with say n-butane (no mercaptains or propellant) and an alleged specimen of Co2 oil?
No, sorry, that wasn't me saying anything about Red color. I'm color blind, it means nothing to me. I'm going on the (first hand) knowledge that CO2 extraction is a useful process that can be fine tuned to separate out fractions (or families of fractions), that is you can produce different products from same feed source material. That is it
could be done. This, coupled with the claim from otherwise trusted sources also adds to my feeling it's possible.
For sure I see no hostility or antagonism. Rather a spirited exchange of interesting and useful experiences and idea. A very good thing, thanks for bringing it up.
As far as being able to tell by gas chromatograph where it came from I wouldn't be at all surprised. I've never driven one, but have similar gear and have watched as guys do some amazing stuff with them. As a guess, I'd bet there's a difference in the profiles of the two solvents so that Butane would have more of XX than YY, while CO2 might be the other way about with more YY than XX? For sure guys running this kind of tests are going to come to know a lot about what they're working with. If one could show there was no CO2 oil out there while their competitors were claiming there was I doubt they'd hesitate a bit with that, do you?
I also agree, some videos of the process might put a lot of this to rest . And I'm usually not all that big on videos......

monster hit when it got going.
