Premium Cannabis Concentrates: Rosin, Badder, & THC Wax

The method of consuming concentrates varies depending on the product at hand. The prevalent method for concentrate consumption is “dabbing,” involving placing the product on a heated surface to produce inhalable, highly potent vapor. Dabbing devices, often referred to as rigs, resemble water pipes and consist of essential parts. The “nail,” serving as the bowl, heats the concentrate into inhalable smoke. The “dome” captures the smoke, which users breathe in through the main mouthpiece. Dab tools, small metal or glass pieces, handle the sticky concentrate.

Concentrates are beautifully diverse in nature and can be consumed in a variety of methods. There is a concentrate product for every user, making them incredibly versatile and accommodating. Depending on the experience you are seeking, as well as any symptoms you’d like alleviated, some methods may be a better fit than others.

• Shatter: With its glass-like appearance and consistency, shatter is one of the cleanest forms of concentrates. You can tell by the light amber color that there are little impurities in the product.
• Wax: Having a dense consistency, sometimes with a bit of graininess, wax is opaque with a deep golden color.
• Dabs: Arguably the most popular method of consuming concentrates, dabs are ideal for a strong, fast-acting high. Most comparable to wax, but with a smoother consistency, and usually a little darker in color.
• Edibles: Great for a delicious long-term, smoke-free, high potency expense. Check out our guide to edibles here.
• Topicals: Best for spot treatments on specific areas of pain in the body, without experiencing psychoactive effects.

Cannabis extraction, a meticulous process, demands professional expertise, a controlled laboratory environment, and adherence to safety protocols. There are three primary extraction methods:

• Solvent-based Extraction: Professionals immerse the cannabis plant in an alcohol solvent, dissolving unwanted plant matter while extracting essential oils, cannabinoids, and terpenes. Concentrates like BHO, live resin, and terpene sauce are crafted through this method.
• Solventless Extraction: Utilizing agitation instead of chemicals, solventless extraction involves high-pressure, low-heat machines breaking down trichomes to access cannabinoids and terpenes. This technique yields concentrates such as rosin, kief, and ice water hash.
• CO2 Extraction: An eco-friendly and non-toxic approach, CO2 extraction employs heated CO2 in a condenser machine to separate the gas from trichomes. This method is recyclable for future extractions and is commonly employed in producing cannabis-infused beer, coffee, fruit extracts, and teas.

Weed concentrates frequently deliver a more potent high compared to flower, thanks to their elevated potency. With significantly higher THC content than traditional flower, concentrates offer a powerful experience where a small amount goes a long way. The intensified and immediate effects make concentrates a popular choice among experienced enthusiasts and those seeking stronger, more profound effects. Elevate your cannabis experience with the heightened potency of weed concentrates.

Live rosin stands out as a top-tier cannabis concentrate celebrated for its unparalleled quality and flavor profile. Employing a solventless extraction method, this process entails pressing freshly frozen cannabis flowers to extract the potent resin. The term “live” emphasizes the use of fresh, uncured cannabis plant material in the extraction, preserving the natural terpenes, cannabinoids, and flavors. The result is a remarkably aromatic and flavorful concentrate.

Indulging in badder wax is a delightful and straightforward process. Begin by selecting your preferred dab rig or a convenient dab pen. Employ a dab tool to scoop up a small portion of badder wax, roughly the size of a grain of rice. If using a dab rig, heat the nail, or simply turn on your dab pen. Once adequately heated, gently place the badder wax on the warmed surface and inhale slowly. The result? A fantastic experience characterized by rich flavors and potent effects.
