![]() ![]() ![]() If you find a blowtorch to be intimidating, there are other options. The vapor gets filtered through the water of the bong, giving a nice smooth hit of strong cannabis concentrate. The extract vaporizes quickly on the hot nail while the user inhales. ![]() The nail is heated using a blow torch, then consumers place a chunk or “dab” of extract onto the hot surface. Dabs are typically vaporized using a dab rig, which consists of a water pipe with a “nail” attachment instead of a “bowl” to put flower into. If rosin is made correctly, it will retain most of the flavor, aroma, and terpenes of the original bud, making it superior to solvent extracts which run the risk of containing butane, propane, or alcohol.Īll of these extracts can be consumed the same way – in a “dab.” Therefore, dabs are neither solvent or solventless extracts, but the way you smoke them. The result is an extract with a sappy texture and translucent color. It’s made by pressing cannabis flower, kief, or trim between two very hot surfaces with a lot of pressure, basically squeezing resinous sap from the bud. What’s more, rosin and other solventless extracts are cheap and easy to make at home, especially with products like the Rosin Tech Twist™, Smash™, or Go™. For one, as the name implies, there are no solvents used in the rosin extraction process, and so no chance of smoking or vaping residual chemicals. Solventless extracts, like rosin, are becoming increasingly popular for a number of reasons. But that doesn’t make them higher quality or even stronger than solventless extracts.īoth solvent and solventless extracts test between 60 and 90 percent THC, providing a much stronger high than regular cannabis flower. BHO done well has the clear, glass-like appearance “shatter” is known for. The texture of solvent extracts often looks appealing. That’s because solvents are volatile and flammable and the equipment needed can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. Plus, making these extracts is more dangerous and expensive than their non-solvent counterparts. For one, it is likely there is residual solvent leftover in the finished product, which can alter the flavor and quality of the extract. There are two problems with solvent extracts like BHO or CO2 oil. Another popular type of solvent extract is CO2 oil, used in most vape pen cartridges. “Shatter” is typically made using butane as the solvent, and its more technical name is Butane Hash Oil, or BHO, for short. In the case of cannabis concentrates, different types of solvents, like butane, carbon dioxide, alcohol, propane or CO2, can be used to extract cannabinoids from flower, kief, shake, or trim to create a highly concentrated product. Solvents are liquids used for dissolving other substances. The truth is, it all comes down to two main distinguishing factors: whether or not solvents were used in the extraction process and the texture of the finished products. But what’s the difference? And which is the best? There are so many different types of cannabis concentrates nowadays, each with about a dozen nicknames, like shatter, budder, rosin, wax, and dabs. ![]()
