The different types of cannabis wax
Cannabis wax is a type of cannabis concentrate that is increasing in popularity. While the exact process of making cannabis wax can vary, the end result is always a product that is very high in THC. Cannabis wax can be used in a variety of ways, including being added to joints or pipes, used in dab rigs, or even used to make edibles.
There are three main types of cannabis wax – budder, crumble, and sap. Budder is the most popular type of cannabis wax and is made by whipping the concentrate while it is being heated. This whipping process gives budder its smooth texture. Crumble is made by allowing the concentrate to cool and harden before breaking it into small pieces. Sap is made by heating the concentrate until it becomes runny and then allowed to cool and harden.
No matter which type of cannabis wax you choose, you are sure to enjoy its potent effects. Just be sure to start with a small amount if you are new to using wax, as it can be very strong.
How to make cannabis wax
Cannabis wax is a type of cannabis concentrate that can be made at home using dabbing tools and a few simple ingredients. The end result is a potent, flavorful product that can be used in a variety of ways.
To make cannabis wax, you will need:
-1 gram of cannabis flower (or 1/8 ounce)
-A gram of hash or kief (optional)
-Dabbing tools (a dab rig, nail, carb cap, etc.)
-A grinder
-A double boiler or crockpot
-Cheesecloth or another type of strainer
-An oven-safe dish
Here are the basic steps for making cannabis wax:
1. Grind your cannabis flower and hash or kief (if using) into a fine powder using a grinder. Be sure to remove any stems or seeds first.
2. Place the ground cannabis into the upper part of the double boiler or crockpot. If using a double boiler, fill the bottom part with water so that it comes up to just below the upper part.
3. Turn on the heat to medium and let the water come to a simmer. This will help to gently heat the cannabis without burning it. Do not let the water come to a boil.
4. Allow the cannabis to cook for 30 minutes to an hour, stirring occasionally. The longer you cook it, the darker and more potent your wax will be. 5. After cooking, turn off the heat and let the mixture cool for a few minutes so you can handle it safely. Line your strainer with cheesecloth and strain the mixture into your oven-safe dish, being sure to catch all of the liquid wax in the cheesecloth. 6. Squeeze any remaining liquid from the cheesecloth into your dish and discard the solid plant matter that is left behind in the strainer. 7. Place your oven-safe dish containing the liquid wax into an oven preheated to 200 degrees Fahrenheit and let it cook for about 20 minutes until all of the liquid has evaporated and only wax remains. 8 These final step will vary depending on what type of final product you want
If you want softer wax that can be used right away, stop at step 7 and do not put it in the oven . You can store this type of wax in an airtight container in a cool, dark place for up to 6 months . If you want harder Wax that can be stored long term put it in step 8 . You can store this type hard Wax indefinitely in an airtight container in a cool , dark place
Tips for making cannabis wax
Cannabis wax is a potent form of cannabis concentrate that is produced through a similar process to making hash. The main difference is that hash uses water and ice to separate the trichomes from the plant material while wax uses a solvent like butane or CO2. The resulting product is a sticky, oily substance that can vary in color from light yellow to dark brown. Cannabis wax can be used in a variety of ways, including smoking, vaping, and dabbing.
Here are some tips for making cannabis wax:
-Start with high-quality cannabis. Trimmed bud that is free of mold and other contaminants will produce the best results.
-Grind your cannabis into small pieces using a hand grinder or food processor. This will help to increase the surface area and make it easier for the solvents to extract the cannabinoids and terpenes from the plant material.
-Place your ground cannabis in a heat-resistant container like a glass jar or Pyrex dish.
-Pour your solvent of choice over the cannabis and stir well to ensure that all of the plant material is coated evenly.
-Place the container in a water bath and heat it until the solvent begins to boil. This will help to evaporate any impurities and prevent them from contaminating your final product.
-Once the solvent has evaporated, you will be left with a sticky, oily substance that can be used in a variety of ways.
