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,

What is a Whole Plant Ounce? Definition, deals, and more

When I was looking on CannaSaver the other day for ounce deals near me, I came across a term that I’ve been seeing more and more often in regards to weed: whole plant ounce. What exactly is a whole plant ounce, you may wonder? If you’re unsure about the definition of whole plant ounce, you’re not alone. It’s really quite simple, though. Here is all you need to know to get your questions answered about whole plant ounces, from whole plant ounce definition to where to buy a whole plant ounce in Denver, and what makes a whole plant ounce different than a “regular” ounce.

What is the Definition of Whole Plant Ounce?

You may have heard the term “whole plant” used in reference to concentrates. When “whole plant” is used in this way, it means that the concentrates, be it wax, shatter, or oils, was produced using “live” plants that have been frozen while still fresh--thus producing an extract that includes all the compounds of the marijuana plant, as some of those compounds can get lost in the process with other extraction techniques. However, when you hear the term “whole plant ounce,” it means something different. The definition of whole plant ounce is an ounce that has come from one single marijuana plant. Most of the time when weed is harvested at grow houses, all the buds from all the plants of a particular strain are mixed together. With a whole plant ounce, the buds from each individual plant are packaged separately. When you buy a whole plant ounce, you know that every single bud in that ounce came off the very same plant. This offers some distinct benefits for the savvy stoner who enjoys a consistent level of high from their buds.

How is a Whole Plant Ounce better or Different Than a “Regular” Ounce?

While a whole plant ounce is definitely different in that it comes from a single plant instead of being comprised of buds from who knows how many plants, it may or may not be “better” than that “regular” ounce you get. A whole plant ounce from a weak or mediocre strain is not going to be as good as a “regular” ounce from a super-potent strain. But--if you were to compare a “regular” ounce of the kickass bud with a whole plant ounce of that same bud, the whole plant ounce will be the winner. This is because with a whole plant ounce, the quality of the buds will be consistent throughout the entire ounce. Variations in marijuana potency occur not only from strain to strain, but from individual plant to individual plant. With a whole plant ounce, from the first bud you smoke till the last, what you experience is consistent and predictable. With a regular ounce, you might get that odd “dud” bowl that doesn’t seem to do much of anything. A whole plant ounce ensures that every bowl you smoke from that ounce will be pretty much identical in flavor and potency. As another benefit, some people feel that with a whole plant ounce, you get more of a complete picture of the “energies” of the marijuana plant. Sort of like whole bean coffee that’s freshly ground as opposed to pre-ground, pre-packaged stuff. It’s simply better all around.

Where to Buy a Whole Plant Ounce Deal in Denver

If you’re looking to buy a whole plant ounce in Denver, the best place to go is RiverRock. This Denver dispensary has two locations, so whether you want an ounce deal in north Denver or an ounce deal in south Denver, there is always a RiverRock nearby, which means there is always an ounce deal near me whenever I need one.
