There are many different names for concentrates -rosin, resin, wax, shatter, budder, and others but most people don’t know what the difference is.
The substance created is hard and brittle and can “shatter” into pieces when broken apart, which is why it is called “Shatter”.
It can vary in color from a light yellow to darker brown.Rosin is basically just like shatter only it is not produced using solvents.It is created by pressuring cannabis flower or kief between two hot surfaces to extract the resin from the plant.
The extracted rosin will be of a translucent color similar to shatter, and a texture that is softer and sticky.Resin or Live Resin, is produced relatively the same way as Rosin is except resin involves pressing buds that were frozen at cultivation between two hot surfaces.
Freezing the buds after harvest helps the plant retain all its cannabinoids and terpenes so the resin that is produced contains all the same cannabinoids and terpenes of the original cannabis plant source.If the extract you are using doesn’t come in a vape pen cartridge already, you can do ‘dabs’ with it, using a dab rig.
A dab rig is just like any other pipe, with the exception of the bowl, instead it has a “nail” that is heated up in order to vaporize the dab.
