8/15/2023 0 Comments Dab shatter wax![]() It should be noted that many people will argue that solvent free concentrates are always better than solvent-based concentrates but, again, this has more to do with the quality of the cannabis used to create the extracts. This has less to do with the type of concentrates and more to do with the quality of material used. The short answer to this question is yes, some dabs are absolutely better than others. This type of concentrate is also simple to manipulate with a dab tool and is another one of the most common forms of dabs. Tiny THC/THCA crystals form about the size of sugar crystals and float in a juicy mix of terpenes. Sugar is another concentrate texture between batter and Diamonds (though with a much more similar texture to a batter). What is left on the top is the juicy terp sauce we know and love, and those crunchy diamonds are left on the bottom. Higher quality, flash-frozen cannabis creates higher quality extracts, which is where diamonds and sauce really shine.Īfter the plant is flash-frozen, it goes into the solvent-based extraction methods discussed in our article, “What are Dabs?” From here, the live resin is then jarred, where pressure builds and creates THCA crystals, which then sink to the bottom of the jar. Diamonds and Sauceĭiamonds and Terpene sauce are created from Live Resins, which means that the cannabis is flash-frozen after harvest, leaving many of the fragile terpenes present in the plant.īecause the flash-frozen plants retain more terpenes (the aromatic component of the Cannabis plant), the end result leaves a sauce with much more of these terpenes present. All of these are easy to manipulate and control with a dab tool.īecause these oils are easy to control, they are some of the most popular types of concentrates on the market. This process is what creates the creamy texture batters, butters, and waxes are known for. The amount and length of time a concentrate is whipped will make it more or less creamy. This consistency of concentrate usually begins with a Resin (created using solvent-based extraction like a Butane Hash Oil), though is occasionally created using a Rosin (solventless concentrate).Īfter the oil has been extracted from the plant and “purged” (allowing the residual gas to escape), the resin is then whipped for some time to incorporate air into the mixture and further purge the gases from the oil. Next, we will talk about “Batter/butter/wax”. The only downside to this type of concentrate is that it is harder to control and manipulate but is otherwise comparable to other concentrates. Shatter, like all concentrates, is typically dabbed. are whipped or agitated after the initial purging process. The only difference between shatter and batter or wax is that the oil was left un-agitated, whereas wax/budder/batter/etc. ![]() The process of creating shatter is typically a solvent-based extraction method where the resulting oil is left still to purge and, ultimately, harden like glass (which is where the term “shatter” comes from). Shatter was probably the most widely known type of concentrate for many years. The Different Textures of Concentrates Shatter Let’s talk about the different textures you can find in concentrates. Often, concentrates are named for their texture regardless of their origins, which is most likely what you see on the labels. Yet, dabs aren’t always just labeled as “Resin” (which would be a solvent-based extract) or “Rosins” (which you already know are solventless). These are going to be Water or Ice Hash, Rosin, Rosin Sap, and Sauce, and even Diamonds. The texture then may be used to name the product, as we will discuss below. These are often referred to as “BHO” or “Butane Hash Oil”, which has become an umbrella term for all hydrocarbon extracts, or solvent based. These concentrates are going to be Resins and Live Resins, and distillates. In our article about how concentrates are made, we go further into detail about the process of creating our favorite dabs, but we will give a brief overview here. To simplify, concentrates have two main categories: Solvent-based and Solventless. Secondly, the texture of the concentrate in its final form. ![]() The key differences in concentrates are, firstly, how they are made and what extraction process is used. We are here to let you know all about the different types of concentrates! What is the Difference Between Different Types of Concentrates? Shatter, batter, butter, sauce, diamonds…the list goes on and on. ![]() There’s a whole world of different types of concentrates, or dabs, in the cannabis market. ![]()
