WHAT ARE CANNABIS CONCENTRATES?
Cannabis concentrates are a popular and effective way to experience the benefits of the cannabis plant. They are created by extracting desired compounds like cannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids, and carotenoids from the resin-containing trichomes of the cannabis plant using various extraction methods.
Extraction methods are used to separate plant compounds and create different types of cannabis concentrates. The most common extraction methods in the cannabis industry include CO2, hydrocarbon, ethanol, and solventless.
Each extraction method produces a different type of cannabis concentrate, each with unique characteristics, potency, and flavor. Some of the most popular cannabis extracts include shatter, wax, budder, crumble, rosin, and live resin.
HOW DO YOU CONSUME CONCENTRATES?
Consuming cannabis concentrates can offer a more potent and efficient way to experience the effects of cannabis. While vaporizing “dabbing” is a popular method, there are other ways to consume concentrates. For example, you can add a bit of concentrate to your bowl or joint, vaporize it using an electronic device like the PAX 3 or PuffCo device, or purchase a pre-filled vape cartridge or disposable that contains different types of concentrates. Additionally, you can experiment with using concentrates in the kitchen by incorporating them into your favorite recipes. With so many options available, it’s easy to find a method that works best for your preferences and experience level.
WHAT IS DABBING?
When it comes to vaporizing concentrates, dabbing with a blow torch is one of the most common methods. This involves heating a metal or quartz “nail” with a blow torch until it reaches a high temperature, and then using a dabber tool to apply a small amount of concentrate to the hot surface. The heat instantly vaporizes the concentrate, allowing you to inhale the vapor through a dab rig. While dabbing can provide a powerful and fast-acting experience, it requires some equipment and can be intimidating for beginners. It’s also important to note that dabbing with a blow torch can be potentially dangerous if not done properly, as the high heat of the torch can create a fire hazard.
