Concentrates

Cannabis Concentrates Guide

Concentrates are cannabis extracts with significantly higher THC levels than flower — typically 60–90% compared to 15–30% for bud. A little goes a long way. If you're new to concentrates, start with a rice-grain-sized amount and work up.

By Type

• Shatter — Glass-like, snaps cleanly. High potency, easy to dose. Best for dabbing.
• Hash — Traditional pressed trichomes. Smooth smoke, versatile — crumble into joints or use a pipe.
• Live Resin — Flash-frozen at harvest to preserve terpenes. Maximum flavor and aroma.
• Budder — Creamy, easy-to-handle texture. Full terpene profile with strong effects.
• Rosin — Solventless extraction using heat and pressure. Clean, pure, no chemicals involved.
• Kief — Loose trichome crystals. Sprinkle on flower or press into hash. Most affordable concentrate.
• Vapes — Pre-filled cartridges for on-the-go use. No torch, no rig, no smell.

How to Consume

Most concentrates are consumed by dabbing (using a heated nail or e-rig) or vaporizing. Hash and kief can also be added to joints or bowls. Vape cartridges just screw onto a 510 battery — no setup needed. If you're unsure about dosing, our THC dosage calculator can help.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the strongest type of concentrate?

Diamonds (THCA crystalline) and distillate typically test highest at 90–99% THC. Shatter, live resin, and budder usually range from 65–85% THC. For most users, shatter or live resin offers the best balance of potency and flavor.

What's the difference between live resin and shatter?

Live resin is made from flash-frozen cannabis, preserving more terpenes for better flavor and aroma. Shatter is made from dried and cured cannabis, resulting in a harder, glass-like texture with slightly less terpene content but consistent potency.

Do I need a dab rig for concentrates?

Not necessarily. Vape cartridges work with a simple 510 battery. Hash and kief can be added to joints or bowls. But for shatter, live resin, budder, and rosin, a dab rig or e-nail will give you the best experience and most efficient use of the product.

How should I store cannabis concentrates?

Keep concentrates in a cool, dark place in an airtight silicone or glass container. Avoid heat — shatter will lose its snap and budder will dry out. Refrigeration works for long-term storage but let it reach room temperature before opening to prevent condensation.
