Has anyone had the THC wax extracted with CO2? I am under the impression that the CO2 extraction process is generally regarded as safer + more likely to yield higher THC percentages + CBD percentages. That being said, the equipment necessary to do a CO2 extraction on bud is very costly and would take quite some use to cover initial costs.
I doubt I will ever do a CO2 extraction considering I am getting better and better at the BHO extraction technique and it is much easier. I will post photos when I have my newest tests done on my wax, but in previous times I have gotten up to 70.2% THC with BHO extraction. Do you think CO2 could yield that much higher percentages?
Also, I am curious about if there are taste differences between the two.
Hypothetically, if you purge the BHO wax properly and remove all the butane i feel like it should taste the same as CO2 method.

No way will it taste the same, or be as harsh as BHO!! There are much easier and very effective ways than either of these two!! If you can get hexane or chloroform, you can make the absolute best oil going...FAST!! ISO, is good, but takes expertise to get perfect. I have an easy to follow method for bomb ISO!! Same for any other method, Pm if you want really good oil, 85% up!! NO BHO!!
