What Makes Concentrates Special?

Cannabis concentrates capture the most powerful parts of the plant. Through careful extraction, we isolate the cannabinoids and terpenes that give cannabis its effects and flavor. The result? Products that are 2-3 times more potent than flower, with incredible purity and flavor.

Understanding Different Types

Shatter: Pure & Powerful

If you're looking for pure, potent concentrate, start with shatter. It looks like amber glass and breaks into clean, precise pieces. Shatter gives you consistent potency and clean effects, making it perfect for experienced users who want reliable results.

Crumble & Wax: Easy & Approachable

These softer concentrates are perfect for beginners. Their texture makes them easy to handle and portion, plus they're usually more affordable than other options. Great for learning how concentrates work without a big investment.

Badder & Budder: Smooth & Flavorful

Imagine cake batter, but for cannabis. These creamy concentrates are packed with flavor and incredibly versatile. Their smooth texture makes them easy to work with, whether you're adding them to a joint or using a dab rig. Many people start here because badder is so user-friendly.

Live Resin: Fresh & Complex

Want to taste cannabis exactly as it grows? Live resin starts with fresh-frozen plants instead of dried flower. This preserves delicate flavors that are usually lost in the drying process. It's more expensive than other concentrates, but the complex flavor and enhanced effects make it worth exploring.

Live Rosin: Solventless & Delicious

For those that are concerned about solvents in their concentrates, opt for live rosin. Premium flower or water hash is pressed with high pressure between heated plates, squeezing out a full-spectrum extract that preserves the natural cannabinoid and terpene profiles of each strain.

Ways to Enjoy Concentrates

Traditional Dabbing

Dabbing might look complicated, but it's just a way to vaporize concentrates at the perfect temperature. You'll need a dab rig (think specialized water pipe), a heating element, and some basic tools. The advantage? Pure flavor and fast-acting effects.

Want to try dabbing without investing in a full setup? Start with an electronic nectar collector or portable dab pen. They're more affordable and much simpler to use.

Adding to Flower

You don't need special equipment to enjoy concentrates. Try these beginner-friendly methods:

• Mix a small amount of crumble into ground flower before rolling
• Add a thin line of badder inside your joint
• Place a tiny bit of concentrate on top of a bowl

Start with very small amounts – remember, concentrates are potent!

Making Concentrates Last

Store your concentrates properly and they'll stay fresh for months:Keep them in a cool, dark place in their original container. A little goes a long way – most people find a gram lasts much longer than an eighth of flower.
