Product Questions
Concentrates are a great option for consumers looking to increase the intensity of their high, as well as flavor connoisseurs seeking to taste the most exquisite terpene profiles. Most concentrates are named after their appearance. For example, the names shatter, wax, sauce, diamonds and budder all refer to the consistency of the concentrate. While many concentrate products are similar in THC potency, they all have different melting points, terpene profiles and appearances. To use most concentrates, you will need a dab rig or e-rig to be able to heat the product appropriately.
Wax is made the same way other concentrates are made with flower material from the cannabis plant. Hydrocarbon solvent is introduced to the plant material to remove the plant’s cannabinoid and terpene content using a closed loop extraction system. The resulting oil is heated at low temperatures under a vacuum and whipped vigorously to remove all residual solvent. Wax is typically more pliable and softer, while crumble is drier, and less sticky.
Budder is wax with higher terpene and oil content. The consistency of budder is oily and malleable. Budder is more liquid in consistency because it is whipped more than wax. Because the product is whipped by hand, it gains airy peaks that are like whipped topping or creamy peanut budder.
Shatter gets its name from its hard, glass-like consistency. This cannabis concentrate contains between 70-80% cannabinoid potency. The process of making shatter starts with dried and cured cannabis flower that is ran through our closed loop extraction system and spread thin onto parchment. It is vacuumed purged with heat to remove the residual solvent and allowed to cool and harden.
Live resin is made by extracting whole plant cannabis flower that is freshly frozen after harvesting in our closed loop extraction system. By using frozen cannabis material, the finished product has robust, exceptional terpene and cannabinoid profiles that resemble the qualities of the live plant. Live resin ranges in color from light amber to yellow gold and has a moist, shiny looking exterior with a strong, rich smell. Live resin has many different consistencies and naming conventions. For example, live sugar is a form of live resin that looks like an amber sugar patty, while live budder is a smoother, more malleable consistency.
Sauce is cured, or aged live resin. After the frozen plant material is run through our closed loop extraction system, the extract is set aside to age and purged into solvents. Genuine terp sauce preserves all of the terpenes for a flavorful experience. This is not just another high-THC concentrate. Terp sauce resembles applesauce with granules of sugar floating in it. Terp sauce has a runny consistency, resembling syrup.
When curing our sauce, with the help of heat and pressure the resin separates and the THCA begins to crystallize. As the crystals form, the terpenes are pushed up into a liquid layer. This liquid layer is sauce. The crystals are the “diamonds”. Often, combined into a “diamonds in sauce” product for a balanced smoking experience. The crystals are pure THCA, and the syrupy liquid is rich in terpenes.
Starting with a solution containing cannabis we want to isolate; specific heat is applied until the desired ingredient evaporates based on its boiling point. When the vapors cool it condenses back into a liquid, separated from unwanted additives or impurities. This final product is a pure and potent cannabis oil that tests in at around 80-90% THC.
Cold-Cured Rosin is an extraction method that uses fresh frozen flower and an ice bath to isolate frozen trichomes heads. After washing the flower, it’s dried and formed into patties. Using heat and pressure, the patties are pressed through silk bags, producing a solventless fresh-pressed rosin that resembles honey. From there, the product is cured in batches at cool temperatures. This slow curing process allows the cannabinoids and terpenes to stabilize, creating a smooth, creamy texture and preserving the strain’s full flavor and aroma.
