Shatter is more refined and brittle, whereas wax is easier to spread and hence more versatile.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shatter has a higher THC concentration, so if you\u2019re someone who requires a lot of THC for medicinal reasons, shatter is probably your best bet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, if you\u2019re <a href=\"https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/blog\/concentrates\/how-to-dab\/\">newer to dabbing<\/a> and don\u2019t need as much THC, wax is probably the better choice for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Shatter<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/blog\/all-about-shatter\/\">Shatter<\/a> is a semi-clear, thin, hard-candy-like cannabis extract used for dabbing. It\u2019s very brittle &#8212; anyone who uses shatter has probably lost some product from accidentally snapping it and having it fly across the room!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This form of cannabis rose to fame in the 90s and only became more and more popular as time went on.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shatter is highly refined, and hence very high in THC content &#8212; often hovering around <\/span><b>90%<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> THC!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Shatter Pros<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some pros of using shatter include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Significantly more potent<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Less sticky than wax<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stores well<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Shatter Cons<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some cons of using shatter include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fragile<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More expensive<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Difficult (although possible) to use in a pen<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Wax<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wax is more malleable than shatter and has the exact consistency that you would expect from something called \u201cwax\u201d!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It doesn\u2019t have as high of a THC concentration as shatter but is more versatile in its ability to be added to a bowl or used in a pen.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wax is also easier to handle and is much better for beginners who don\u2019t need as much THC or are just getting used to dab rigs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Wax Pros<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some pros of using wax include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can add to a bowl<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can be used in pen\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Easier to handle<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Contains more terpenes and tastes better<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cheaper<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Better for beginners<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Wax Cons<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some cons of using wax include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can sometimes be crumbly<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Easy to lose product<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not as high in THC<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>The Extraction Process<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shatter and wax are both extracted with butane hash oil (BHO). <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BHO is a solvent that cannabis gets soaked in to extract the soluble compounds into a concentrate. The solute (cannabis plant material) is then strained out.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The trichomes, which contain all of the psychoactive compounds in cannabis, are stripped of their oils which get mixed in with the BHO, creating a highly concentrated product.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is all done by placing cannabis in a tube and pushing BHO through the tube. Then the butane evaporates out, which is a vital step in the process as it\u2019s not exactly the healthiest thing for us to consume via smoking.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are a few more steps after the BHO extraction, which differ depending on whether you\u2019re making wax or shatter. Shatter goes through a lengthier process than wax because it\u2019s more refined, which is why it\u2019s so fragile and concentrated.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Tips and Tricks<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Proper storage of shatter and wax is mandatory. As always, store your shatter and wax in an airtight container and keep it away from any light or excess heat. Beware of windows!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most importantly, <\/span><b>start low and go slow. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wax and shatter are highly concentrated forms of cannabis with extraordinary THC contents. You can always consume more, but you can\u2019t consume less.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you accidentally get too high, sucking on something sour or eating something crunchy can help you come down to Earth. You should have something sour on hand every time you or your friends consume cannabis &#8212; keep it in your bag!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the same vein, don\u2019t mix shatter or wax with alcohol or other drugs. You\u2019re dealing with powerful stuff here. And of course, avoid driving after consumption.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Buying Shatter and Wax<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whenever you buy a cannabis product, you should always look for a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.acslab.com\/certificate-of-analysis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Certificate of Analysis<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (COA). The COA can often be found with a QR code on the side of the package, or it should be easy to access on the brand\u2019s website.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">COAs ensure that your products don\u2019t contain any heavy metals, pesticides, leftover residue from the extraction process, and more. Looking for a COA should become your standard practice when buying a cannabis product.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Final Thoughts<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wax and shatter are the main concentrates used for dabbing. They both have their pros and cons, but it mostly boils down to this:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>If you\u2019re looking for ease of use, wax is a better choice. If you care more about having an extremely high THC content, shatter is a better choice.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dabbing is a great way to consume concentrated THC if your condition requires a lot of THC to achieve medicinal benefits. Likewise, if you have a hefty tolerance, dabbing can help you get high if flower isn\u2019t cutting it anymore.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If it\u2019s your first time dabbing, have a buddy with you who has experience because it\u2019s not the most intuitive process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lastly, stay safe and have fun!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019re here, you&#8217;ve probably wondered, \u201cWhat\u2019s the difference between shatter and wax?\u201d Maybe you\u2019re just entering the world of dabbing and are suddenly bombarded by a bunch of new phrases, or perhaps you\u2019ve heard the words thrown around and want to know what your friends are talking about.
