Welcome to Strain's new website
When it comes to cannabis potency, flowers will only get you so far. Some of the strongest buds reach up to 30% THC. Some users are looking for more. This is where concentrates come in. These concentrated cannabis products offer incredible potency, ranging from 50% to more than 90%, depending upon the type. The thing is, there are numerous products on the market today. If you’re new to concentrates, you might not know where to start. In this article, we’ll dive into live rosin wax for a satisfying dab experience.
If you’ve never heard of rosin before, it’s a type of concentrate that involves extracting cannabinoids and other valuable compounds from dried and cured cannabis flowers. It’s a type of solventless extraction, meaning that it doesn’t use solvents. Instead, it uses heat and pressure.
Live rosin is a bit different. Instead of dried and cured buds, manufacturers extract cannabinoids and terpenes from frozen buds. When buds undergo drying and curing, some of the cannabinoids and terpenes degrade. With live rosin, cannabis buds get frozen immediately after picking. Freezing the freshly harvested flowers preserves the most beneficial compounds.
Making live rosin is a bit more involved than making regular rosin. First, manufacturers need to create ice wax. They submerge the frozen cannabis into ice water and agitate it to shake off the trichomes. These trichomes then go through a series of mesh strainers to remove any remaining plant matter.
After filtering, manufacturers collect the trichomes and dry them into full-melt bubble hash with a freeze dryer. Next, the bubble hash gets pressed in a rosin press using low heat and pressure. The resulting product is purer and more flavorful than regular rosin.
Like regular rosin, live rosin is a solventless concentrate. It doesn’t require the use of butane, CO2, or any other solvents to extract the cannabinoids from the plant material. Live rosin also provides significant potency in a very small dose.
One of the most significant benefits of liv rosin is that it retains many more terpenes than other types of concentrates. As such, you get much more flavorful hits.
When it comes to concentrates, dabbing is the most popular method of consumption. If you’ve never used one before, it can look intimidating. Once you get the hang of it, though, it’s fairly straightforward and provides some satisfying experiences.
Before doing a dab, you do need to do a little prep work. First, you should get a very small dose of your live rosin on your dab tool. Next, you need to heat your nail with a blow torch (unless you have an e-nail rig). Allow the nail to cool for several seconds and get your dab tool ready.
When you’re ready, apply the live rosin to the heated nail and place your mouth over the mouthpiece. Inhale slowly to bring the filtered smoke into your lungs. You don’t have to hold in the smoke for the best experience. With a little practice and some high-quality live rosin, you’ll have great dabs every time.
Live rosin might not be one of the most well-known cannabis concentrates, but it’s definitely worth checking out. Not only does it provide exceptional potency in such a small amount, but it also provides a more flavorful, well-rounded experience.
