If you’re new to the world of cannabis concentrates, the term “dab” might be a little confusing. But fear not! In this post, we’ll explain what a dab is and introduce you to the different types of concentrates you can find at your local dispensary.
What is a dab?
A dab is a small amount of cannabis concentrate that is heated on a hot surface and then inhaled. The process of inhaling a dab is called “dabbing,” and it’s becoming an increasingly popular method of consuming cannabis.
Dabs are made by extracting cannabinoids and terpenes from cannabis flower using solvents like butane or CO2. The resulting concentrate can take on a variety of different textures and consistencies depending on the extraction process used.
Types of concentrates
Now that you know what a dab is, let’s take a look at the different types of concentrates you can find at your local dispensary:
- Shatter – Shatter is a type of concentrate that has a glass-like texture and is often translucent. It’s made by purging the solvent used in the extraction process, which results in a highly concentrated form of THC. Try Flora Terra’s Back to Earth Shatter for only $13!
- Wax – Wax is a type of concentrate that has a softer, more malleable texture than shatter. It’s made by whipping the concentrate during the purging process, which creates a wax-like consistency. If you’re interested in wax, try Jetty’s Berry Cream, available at Flora Terra.
- Hash – Hash is a type of concentrate that has been around for centuries and is made by compressing and heating cannabis trichomes. It can take on a variety of textures, from crumbly and dry to sticky and oily. Hash is known for its high potency and can be consumed in a variety of ways, including by smoking, vaporizing, or dabbing. It’s a popular choice among cannabis enthusiasts who appreciate its traditional origins and unique effects. Try Flora Terra’s potent Purple Cream Cake Bubble Hash, on sale for only $6!
- Crumble – Crumble is a type of concentrate that has a dry, crumbly texture. It’s made by purging the concentrate at a higher temperature and pressure than other types of concentrates, which results in a crumbly consistency. Try Greenline’s Cereal Milk Crumble today.
- Sauce – Sauce is a type of concentrate that has a liquid-like consistency and is often high in terpenes. It’s made by allowing the concentrate to separate into two layers during the purging process, with the terpenes rising to the top. Try Jetty’s energizing Cherry Punch Sugar & Sauce.
In conclusion, dabbing is a popular method of consuming cannabis concentrates, and there are a variety of different types of concentrates to choose from. Whether you prefer the glass-like texture of shatter or the creamy consistency of a sauce, there’s a concentrate out there that’s perfect for you. Just remember to start with a small amount and work your way up, as concentrates can be very potent! Questions?
