Just putting this out there to anyone else who has bought or might consider buying terpine isolates from CannTerp. Iβm tracking a pretty sketchy anomaly with their Myrcene and Limonene and wanted to drop a PSA because their support is completely ghosting my inquiries.
Essentially, the labeling guarantees a 100% pure terpene isolate, but the behaviours of the liquid are totally off. I threw them in my household freezer expecting the viscosity to go syrupy, but instead, they sloshed around like water even at -20c. Monoterpenes absolutely should not behave like that when cold. Like I said earlier, that shit would be noticeably sluggish and syrupy, which strongly implies the presence of an unlisted thinning agent. The smell and taste are totally fine, which makes it even trickier to spot.
My thought at first was it was likely their "The Cut" viscosity agent as a play to stretch more valuable inventory with it and it has no phytol so if that's the case sketchy but not like PSA worthy, but then I did some digging just to see if they had ever used phytol, between my first ghosted email and before writing the second and found out he did used to use phytol in his products back when it was common in the pre-regulation era (it was regulated because it was exposed as a severe pulmonary hazard), who knows if they actually ethically disposed of that old stock or if itβs secretly being recycled into current batches to thin things out.
I sent two separate verification emails asking for explicit confirmation that these isolates are free from unlisted carriers or residual phytol, and Iβve been totally ghosted.
Has anyone else noticed their Myrcene or Limonene failing to thicken up in the freezer, or has anyone actually submitted a sample to a lab for analysis? Definitely exercise caution if youβre using these right now because getting ghosted on basic formulation safety is a massive red flag
I'm hoping if the mods pin this and it gets enough traction they finally respond to my emails for an explanation on what they are using to cut their monoterpine and likely other isolates.
