Sometimes flower just doesn’t cut it. Maybe you’ve built up a tolerance, or maybe you’re just looking for a better high. Good thing for concentrates. These are the best concentrates in Denver.

What are Concentrates?        

Whether you're a first-time or experienced dabber, you might still be wondering exactly what concentrates are. Deciding what concentrate to choose and knowing how to use it properly takes a little background knowledge.

Concentrates are where you isolate the most desirable parts of the cannabis plant through a process of heat and extraction. Basically, concentrates are the best part of marijuana in a convenient package. Scientifically, it’s a bit more complicated. Suffice it to say concentrates will get you higher than the average flower.

Types of Concentrates

         Concentrates come in a variety of forms:

·         Live Resin

·         Shatter

·         Wax

·         Budder

·         Crystalline (Diamonds)

Though there are many different types of concentrates, they are essentially all the same product—extracted, compounded marijuana oils. They are named differently based on the consistency, density, and texture of the end product, as well as differences in how the concentrates are prepared.

How are Concentrates Used?

Some concentrates can be used topically or taken orally, while others are used in a vaporizer commonly known as a vape pen. Dabbing is also popular. This is the process of heating up a small amount of concentrate such as live resin with a device called a dab rig, and inhaling the vapors.

Think heating up a drop of hash on a penknife and breathing in the smoke—same basic concept, only now you can buy an actual factory-made contraption for this. Concentrates can also be cooked into edibles, or you can go the old-fashioned route and top off a bowl of ordinary flower to give it an extra kick. 

Live Resin

Live resin is simply cannabis oil that has been extracted from fresh flowers that have been freeze-dried rather than air-dried and cured the typical way. This produces a different flavor in the resin, imparting a more aromatic and floral bouquet. Live resin is usually somewhat gooey in consistency and typically has a higher terpene content.

Shatter

Shatter is heat extracted or chemically extracted cannabis oil that has hardened into a glasslike substance that's usually amber colored and mostly transparent. When it's heated, it becomes a viscous liquid similar to thickened honey. Shatter can be relatively inexpensive, with deals as low as 15 dollars a gram.

Wax

Wax refers to concentrated marijuana oil that has been extracted--often with butane or other chemicals—to produce a thick, oily, and wax-like substance that can be smoked or vaporized. Unlike shatter which is see-through and hard, wax is soft and opaque.

Budder

Like the other concentrates, budder is extracted from flower to make a more potent product. Unlike wax or shatter, budder has the consistency of, well, butter. It’s a type of hash oil that can be up to 70 percent THC.

Crystalline

Also known as dust or diamonds, crystalline is concentrated THCA that comes in a solid form. Think kief. Crystalline often has little flavor because of the relatively low amount of terpenes but makes up for that lack of potency.

The Best of the Best Concentrates

Colorado is home to some of the best, award-winning concentrate companies in America. Recreational weed use has been legal in Colorado since 2012, allowing local businesses to branch out and perfect their extraction techniques. The use of concentrates by stoners continues to grow as time goes by.

Here are some extraction experts that make some of the best concentrates you can find in Colorado:

·         Green Dot Labs, based in Boulder, makes some of the best live resin in Colorado. Deals on their live resin can be found here.

·         Sano Gardens, based in Commerce City, specializes in cannabis extraction. Their live resin is popular among Coloradoans.

·         710 Labs makes some of the best concentrates for both Colorado and California.

·         VIOLA is a marijuana company started by former NBA player Al Harrington. Their concentrates can be found in dispensaries across Colorado.

·         Nomad Extracts make their concentrates from Colorado-grown cannabis. They’ve won awards for both their wax and shatter, among others. You can find their platinum wax for 30 dollars a gram at dispensaries in the Denver-metro area.

·         Lazercat Cannabis are Colorado-based growers and extractors. Their live rosin is a premium concentrate.

·         Kush Masters is an extraction company “nested in a log cabin next to Boulder’s Flatiron mountains.” You can get eight grams of their wax for 120 dollars in Denver.

Where to Find Concentrates in Colorado

         Most local dispensaries will have plenty of choices when it comes to concentrates. A budtender is always willing to help or answer any questions one might have. We’ve put together a list of some Colorado dispensaries that have great deals on concentrates:

·         The Lodge Cannabis has locations on Federal Blvd and High Street. There’s currently a deal for two grams of Green Dot live resin for 90 dollars or four grams of wax for 70 dollars.

·         Pure Marijuana Dispensary has five locations across the Denver-metro area. You can find deals on cartridges, wax, and shatter (among many others) at any location.

·         The Stone Dispensary, located in Denver, has a wide variety of concentrate deals for the frugal stoner. The previously-mentioned Kush Masters live resin is 24 dollars OTD per gram. There’s also a deal on all brands of wax or shatter.

·         Mary Jane’s House is located on Quentin Street just a little outside of Denver. They have deals on wax right now for just 27 dollars for two grams.

Which Concentrate is Right for Me?

The first time trying concentrates can be confusing. There are a ton of choices, but only you are going to know which is best for you. Trial and error, so to speak. No shame in trying them all.

There are tons of places to buy concentrates or other marijuana products in Colorado. Cannasaver can be a fantastic tool for finding the right wax, live resin, or any other concentrate for you.

We sure love our marijuana concentrates. Cannabis concentrates are a huge staple in the marijuana industry. With marijuana consumption increasing around the country, more people are either aware of “dabbing/dabs” or are currently hitting one.

Marijuana concentrates are made using a variety of marijuana extraction methods. 

Solvents such as butane, CO2, and propane are used to extract desired compounds from marijuana flower.

Concentrates come in several different forms, but today, we’re going to look at my favorite kind of concentrate known as Propane Hash Oil (PHO). 

Propane’s interesting chemical make-up gives this kind of hash oil potential for maintaining terpene compounds found in the trichomes. 

Let’s look at PHO a little closer (no, not the Vietnamese soup – although that sounds nice, too)...

Clean Burning Propane: What is Propane Hash Oil?

If we’re anything like Hank Hill, we love our “propane and propane accessories.” 

Marijuana extracted through propane as the main solvent during the extraction process is called Propane Hash Oil or PHO for short. 

PHO is recognizable by its bright yellow color and is often known as “honey.”

It also tends to have a “buddery” consistency. 

PHO is made using only propane as a solvent. 

Propane’s extremely low boiling point, -43.6ºF, allows extraction specialists to separate more of the terpenes during the concentrate extraction. 

It also removes more of the solvent in the end.

PHO is consumed in a variety of ways: oil rigs, pens, or even joints. 

PHO vs. BHO: What is the Difference?

Are you a BHO or PHO kind of person? 

What’s the difference? 

Well…

One big difference between PHO and BHO (Butane Hash Oil) is consistency. 

PHO more often than not will have a buddery consistency (softer) whereas BHO will more likely have a shatter consistency (glasslike, brittle).  

Another difference between the two is the boiling point. Propane has a lower boiling point (43.6º F) than butane (32º F) which means little heat is needed to purge the solvent. 

This temperature difference affects the consistency of the concentrate and makes it much richer in terpenes. 

Propane hash oil is also known for having fewer residual solvents in the concentrate. 

This is a HUGE deal.

PHO Safety

With concentrates, there is always a risk of a gas leak that could spark and cause an explosion. 

PHO extraction tends to be a safer means for companies to operate in a licensed facility. Closed-loop extraction systems ensure propane doesn’t leak. 

How To Smoke PHO

Unlike smoking a bowl, you are going to need a specific set of tools. Tools that will make any wax concentrate cower in fear of you.

The Tools Needed:

• A dab rig - A small, bong-like smoking apparatus 

• Nectar collector - A straw-like smoking device

• Vape Pen - Concentrate vaporizer

When using a Nectar Collector, specifically designed trays/dishes are a must. 

These kinds of products are made out of glass, quartz, or silicone. 

After putting a small dab onto the container, blowtorch the tip of the collector. 

While heated, drag the hot nail across the wax while sucking through the mouthpiece.

Howdy, howdy, and thanks for stopping by ye’ ole blog.  

This time on learnin’ stuff with Cannasaver, we’re going to go in on smoking and consuming different types of cannabis concentrates – more specifically, how to smoke concentrates. 

This includes but is not limited to: dabs, hash, hash oil, butane hash oil, Co2 concentrates, bubble hash, kief, shatter, sauce, diamonds, wax, budder, and probably a few more that we may not have even heard of. 

Check out hot deals on some of these different forms of tasty, dankadelic THC concentrates.

Before we tell you about how to smoke these tasty treats, let us explain some of the differences between each form of concentrate. 

The main difference in each style of concentrate is the way it is extracted from the plant itself.

Main Extraction Methods 

The history of making dabs has a long history dating back to the earliest of civilization. 

The First Extractor 

The first recorded method of hydrocarbon extraction can be dated back to creating asphalt used in the walls and towers of ancient Babylon.  

Hydrocarbon Extraction

This method of extraction is one of the most popular and efficient ways to turn your trim or flower into a clean, potent cannabis concentrate. You may have heard horror stories of garage hash labs exploding but with the proper equipment, training, and safety protocols hydrocarbon extraction is one of the most efficient and cleanest ways to produce a variety of delectable extracts. This type of extraction is able to make a variety of different types of concentrates from wax to shatter to diamonds.

Ice Hash

This method of extraction is a great choice for producing different types of hash through a temperature and physical agitation combination to remove and collect THC from the plant matter being processed.

Co2 Extraction

Using pressurized Co2 this method of extraction makes a variety of different concentrates as well. The plant matter is placed into a stainless steel tube that is able to withstand high pressure. The Co2 gas is forced through the plant material and the THC and cannabinoids are separated and isolated to be converted into different forms of shatters and hash products.

How to Smoke your Concentrates

With so many different forms and styles of extracts choosing a method of consuming them can be a process. We are here to share some of our favorite ways to smoke those tasty extracts that send your high into orbit.

Cartridges and Batteries

In recent years there has been a major increase in the number of ways to consume Cannabis and Cannabis extracts.  

One of the most popular and convenient ways is by purchasing a cartridge that is filled with potent extracted Cannabis and terpenes. 

There are so many great flavors and potencies for all the different types of weed cartridges that you can pick from. 

Check out our deals on weed cartridges and find something new to try out. 

Using a cartridge is a great way to smoke on the go and avoid making a sticky mess that sometimes comes with other methods of consuming extracts.

Load Some Wax Onto Your Flower

This way of smoking gives you the best of both worlds. 

Tasty flavorful flower and potent terpene-filled concentrates blend together to give you a tasty smoke that is easy to do without purchasing any new smoking equipment. 

Check out our selection of wax and concentrate deals to give this method of smoking a go for yourself.

Nails and Bangers

These are two of the most popular ways that people use to smoke their shatters and wax concentrates. 

You will need a special glass bowl piece and downstem for your bong or bubbler.  

To smoke your wax you take a torch and heat up your glass bowl. Once the bowl has become hot enough, usually around 200-215 degrees, you place your wax onto the hot nail or glass and smoke away. This is one of the best ways to smoke your concentrates and experience the full flavor profile of the waxes and shatters that we all love so much.

Roll Some into a Joint

To smoke with this method you can take a piece of wax and roll it out into a small log. 

You then roll the wax log into a joint with your favorite flower and as you smoke down the joint you’ll get puffs of that wax log throughout the whole joint. 

Taking the joint to a concert and smoking down with your friends is sure to get you all higher than a giraffe's bowtie.  

We hope you learned some new information here with us today about smoking concentrates and want to go try some out for yourself.  

If you have any other ways you like to smoke down on your favorite extracts let us know!

Cheers,

Cannasaver=
