Agreed, disposables are great for the sake of convenience. I do have a nice 510 battery, but I still prefer to dab rosin or smoke flower!

What specific battery options would you recommend?

My pleasure, glad it was helpful

I dab (vaporize) it on what’s called a “terp slurper.” Here’s a previous post of mine that shows the piece on the right: https://lemmy.world/post/913935

Dabbing concentrates is about heat control and retention. There are less cumbersome options, like Puffco’s line of products.

Great question. In the process of making rosin, first you create Ice Water Hash to separate the trichome gland heads. Then there are typically 2 ways to process this Ice Water Hash:

  1. Fresh press: The gland heads are put into a mesh pouch and then squeezed at high pressures and low heats. People will consume this fresh press without further processing.
  2. Cold cure: Cold Cure rosin is fresh press that has been cured and whipped into a badder-y consistency.

You used the term "live resin" which is in a different realm than rosin. Resin = made with solvents. Rosin = solventless

  • Distillate: While typically the most potent and used in vape carts, I’d generally say anything with distillate will be the least representative of the original material used (no taste), and something I try to avoid. Distillate = headaches, for me.
  • Live / Cured Resin: Resin is extracted with solvents, and retains more of the plant’s profile of terpenes and flavonoids. A great budget concentrate option. This is typically where you’ll find shatters, waxes, budders/badders, crumble, sugar, etc.
  • Live / Cured Rosin: Then we have Rosin which is extracted in a solventless method, and to me, is the best concentrate available. Full of flavor and character that is representative of the original plant/strain used. I’ve seen rosin come in shatter (fresh press), sauce, and badder-y variants.

Huh, now that you mention it, the math doesn't seem to really add up lol. I assumed the "total" number was THC + all cannibinoids, maybe they're measuring others not listed. I'm assuming the rest of the composition (the final 16.8% beyond 83.2% total cannibinoids) is plant byproduct like waxes, maybe flavonoids.

But yeah, I'm generally staring at that terpene chart for my own purchase decisions!

Awesome, thanks for confirming. Happy to be the first supporter. Thank you for an incredible app!

I found a page for Memmy on Open Collective, but I'm not sure if it's legitimate. Would love to hear from @gkd@lemmy.ml if this is a viable way to support the work!

It’s a difficult one to count for sure. I found this video helpful to better understand it: https://youtu.be/JLYeGJzJMdU

Cannot wait. This will be my first time seeing Gojira live

This is fantastic news!

Thanks! Yep it's the Mega-Monsters Tour, stoked to see Mastodon too.

I've been afraid to look at setlists, but that is one helluva setlist right there.

Definitely. Appreciate the specific rec
