Concentrates are a great option for consumers looking to increase the intensity of their high, as well as flavor connoisseurs seeking to taste the most exquisite terpene profiles. Most concentrates are named after their appearance. For example, the names shatter, wax, sauce, diamonds and budder all refer to the consistency of the concentrate. While many concentrate products are similar in THC potency, they all have different melting points, terpene profiles and appearances. To use most concentrates you need a rig with a glass nail where you can heat the product so it instantly vaporizes.
Wax is made the same way other concentrates are made with flower or bud material from the cannabis plant. Hydrocarbon solvent such as, butane is introduced to the plant material to remove the plant’s resin using our closed loop extraction system. The resulting oil is heated at low temperatures and whipped vigorously to remove all residual solvent. Wax is generally drier and more crumbly than its counterpart budder.
Budder is wax with higher moisture content. The consistency of budder is oily and malleable. Budder contains a higher moisture content because it is whipped less than wax, because the product is whipped by hand, it gains airy peaks that are similar to whipped topping or creamy peanut budder.
Shatter gets its name from its hard, glass-like consistency. This cannabis concentrate contains between 70-80% cannabinoid potency. The process of making shatter starts with dried and cured cannabis flower that is ran through our closed loop extraction system and spread thin onto parchment. It is vacuumed purged with heat to remove the residual solvent and allowed to cool and harden.
Live resin is made by extracting whole plant cannabis flower that is freshly frozen after harvesting in our closed loop extraction system. By using frozen cannabis material, the finished product has robust, exceptional terpene and cannabinoid profiles that resemble the qualities of the live plant. Live resin ranges in color from light amber to yellow gold and has a moist, shiny looking exterior with a strong, rich smell. Live resin has many different consistencies and naming conventions. For example, live sugar is a form of live resin that looks like an amber sugar patty, while live budder is a smoother, more malleable consistency.
Sauce is cured, or aged live resin. After the frozen plant material is ran through our closed loop extraction system, the extract is set aside to age and purged of solvents. Genuine terp sauce preserves all of the molecules locked in every trichome for a more complete cannabinoid and terpene extract. This is not just another high-THC concentrate. Terp sauce resembles applesauce with granules of sugar floating in it.
When curing our sauce, with the help of heat and pressure the cannabinoid molecules come together and start to grow into crystals. Often called “diamond mining,” because THCA naturally forms into crystals and it can start to look like tiny diamonds. As the crystals form, the terpenes, on the other hand, are pushed-out into a liquid layer. The crystals are THCA and the syrupy liquid is rich in terpenes.
Starting with a solution containing cannabis we want to isolate, specific heat is applied until the desired ingredient evaporates based on its boiling point. When the vapors cool it condenses back into a liquid, separated from unwanted additives or impurities. This final product is a pure and potent cannabis oil that tests in at around 80-90% THC.
Rosin is an extraction method that releases resin from an array of cannabis products like; flower, dry sift kief and hash. The rosin process comes from combining high heat and immense pressure to produce a solvent-less hash oil (SHO) via a rosin press. This method brings out the product's oil out from its trichome heads, resulting in a high-terpene, full-melt. Rosin will be a golden yellow sap with high potency.
Simply put Aqua tech is; adsorbent filtration and chromatography. The name is given for any concentrate that is filtered through the CRC column containing adsorbent media. The process mimics column chromatography and is preformed inline on our closed loop extractor. The end concentrate has a clear to light yellow color and can also be white and opaque. This technique allows us to remove water, heavy metals, solid particulate, and color. We’ve seen elevated terpene levels with this technique testing in the 40-46%. We can produce a wide variety of end products with this; shatter, cured sugar, cured budder, live resin sauce, live resin badder, HTFSE and live resin sugar.
