Dispensary Wax For Dabbing
The legalization of recreational cannabis has allowed the producers and dispensaries to get imaginative with their products. With more and more dispensaries popping up, they must stay competitive by supplying their customers with new options. Concentrates continue to be in high demand and one of the most popular concentrates is dispensary wax.
What Is Wax?
Dispensary wax is cannabis concentrate named after its appearance and texture. Wax can come in various forms that range from a runny liquid, to more solid and brittle. Many cannabis waxes are made with a butane solvent to extract the terpenes and cannabinoids. There are many methods for making wax and each producer has their preferred method. Once the cannabis has been hit with the butane and the trichomes have been separated from the plant, producers will agitate the mixture. Methods of agitation include whipping, shaking, or stirring, which result in a solidified honey tenure or smooth “budder.”
More solid waxes, crumble and honeycomb, are great for smoking. While budder is often used to cook with because it can easily be added to most recipes. Just make sure not to heat it too much when cooking it because it will lose potency.
How To Smoke Wax
It's not a candle, you can’t just light a wick. One of the most common ways people enjoy wax is by adding a small amount to a joint, bowl, or hash pipe to give it an extra kick. You can also use a vector collector, dab rig, e-nail, or vape pen that has a dab chamber. You can also use the DIY method of heating knives and inhaling the vapor. Exercise extreme caution if you choose the DIY method, one knife must get extremely hot and you can easily end up with a burn.
Concentrate vaporizers are becoming more and more popular and can be used to smoke wax. More recently, electric vaporizers have been introduced to the market and are a safer way to consume concentrates because you don’t need a heat source, which eliminates the burn risk.
All Waxes Are Not The Same
All concentrates can have high levels of potency and wax is no different. Cannabis wax can have up to 90% THC potency. The potency of the wax you purchase will depend on what cannabis strain it comes from. However, when choosing a wax you want to also consider the taste, aroma, and function. If you’re adding your wax to a joint or bowl, you want to make sure the bud and wax complement each other. You don’t want to add a couch-lock concentrate to an uplifting bud. Some of the most popular concentrates come from these strains:
- Gorilla glue
- Amnesia Haze
- NYC Diesel
- OG Kush
- The White
- Harlequin
- Blue Cheese
- White Widow
- Chemdawg
- Chernobyl
