I'm trying to learn about this stuff. How do they sell it. What does it cost. How does it compare to a joint?

Common extraction methods include butane, ethanol, and CO2. Imo sub zero ethanol is the best. In any case the cannabinoids and any other volatile organic compound like terpenes are carried out of the plant material and then the extraction vehicle evaporates out leaving behind a sticky waxy substance. To make vape cartridges they add a little glycerin or sometimes vitamin e to make it more liquid so it will wick into the ceramic coil.
Vitamin E will make your lungs popcorn very deadly
Yeah I think that's banned in the state I buy in
They did... But you was on point not now most people are just sticking to co2 or Rosin
The problem with room temperature ethanol extractions is they extract a lot of chlorophyll but I guess if you do it in Sub-Zero temps it doesn't do that
It does plus super dangerous co2 knocks the trichromes right off keeping the chlorophyll in the plant. . But a good flushing before the plant is done will help get ride of all chlorophyll
