Dabbing refers to the process of heating a concentrate on a hot surface and then inhaling it through what is known as a dab rig. Dabbing is a very popular way of consuming concentrates as it produces an intense high. Although it depends upon the type of dab that you are consuming, whether it be oil or shatter, typically dabbing is more potent. Because of this, people that have chronic pain or other medical issues often prefer to consume concentrates in the form of dabs.

Butane hash oil is a very potent concentrate that is used either in vape pens or for dabbing or in vape pens. In BHO extraction, cannabinoids are drawn out of the plant. This produces a wax-like substance that can either be hard or sticky. THC content can reach as high as 80 percent in BHO. This makes it a very popular concentrate for medical uses. We always ensure that our BHO is pure.

Wax, sometimes referred to as earwax for its consistency, is created during the BHO extraction process like oil. However, wax is created by whipping hash oil during the purging process. The THC level of wax is a little less than oil due to the amount of terpene wax that it contains. This makes wax a more flavorful, yet less potent concentrate.

One popular type of wax is badder. This is is probably one of the most popular concentrates on the market. Badder is made by using a solvent, such as butane or CO2, to blast through the marijuana and extract the THC. The THC is then purged using air pressure and heat. This removes the solvent, leaving only the badder.

Shatter is a cannabis concentrate that is named for its hard, glass-like consistency that tends to crack, or shatter, when broken apart. It is typically gold or amber in color. Shatter is not, as some believe, any more potent than other concentrates. Its glassy appearance is due to the extract’s molecules not being agitated as much as other extracts during production. Because of it’s texture, shatter is most often used for dabbing.

Crumble is made similarly to shatter. The pre-purged oils used for crumble tend to have more moisture and a thicker consistency, which creates the crumble texture. Crumble isn’t ideal for dabbing because of its loose texture. It works well for topping bowls of flower and in portable vaporizers.

Whether you choose to consume wax, shatter, oil, flower, or edibles, depends upon your needs and preferences.
