The consensus was that both approaches have valid applications and the industry benefits from continued innovation on all fronts.
// From the Episode
Bubbleman self-described as a 'biased prick towards solventless extraction' but showed genuine respect for Evolved Extraction's work. Discussion of how shatter evolved to diamonds and sauce, while solventless went from bubble hash to live rosin. The fullspec brand notably operates in both realms with hydrocarbon and solventless product lines.
