Question 1

What is shatter?

Accepted Answer

A translucent, glass like concentrate made with butane extraction, usually 70 to 90%+ THC. Low moisture content makes it the most shelf stable concentrate, so room temp storage in an airtight jar is fine. Dab it around 500 to 550F on a quartz banger. Brands like Gold Crown and Anarchy stock shatter at King of Budz.

Question 2

What is live resin?

Accepted Answer

Made from fresh, flash frozen flower rather than dried bud, so the terpenes survive extraction intact. Typically 70 to 90% THC with terpene content in the 5 to 15% range, which is why it tastes so much closer to the living plant. Comes in sauce, sugar, or badder textures. Best under 500F to preserve flavor. Room temp is fine short term, fridge is better long term. Look for live resin from Cannalicious Labs, Thunder Canna, and Afternoon Delite.

Question 3

What is rosin, and why does King of Budz refrigerate it?

Accepted Answer

Rosin is solventless. Heat and pressure on flower or ice water hash, nothing else. No butane, no ethanol, just the plant. Fresh press rosin, live rosin, and water hash are terpene heavy and moisture rich, which means they degrade at room temperature faster than any other concentrate. Every rosin and solventless product at King of Budz is refrigerated from the moment it hits the store, so the jar you pick up is at peak quality. Brands to look for: Rollganic, Old School Hash Co., Grimas, and Hunna.

Question 4

What are diamonds and distillate?

Accepted Answer

Diamonds are crystalline THCA, often sitting in a terpene sauce, testing 95 to 99%+ THC once decarbed. Hardest hitting dab you can buy. Distillate is a near clear, highly refined oil that runs 85 to 95% THC and works well for carts, edibles, or an unflavored dab. RSO (Rick Simpson Oil) is a full spectrum whole plant extract, typically used orally for medicinal dosing. All three are shelf stable at room temp for 12 to 24 months.

Question 5

What about wax, budder, sugar, and crumble?

Accepted Answer

All variations on the same idea, a hydrocarbon extract whipped or agitated during purging to hit different textures. Wax is drier. Budder is creamier. Sugar has a wet, granular feel with strong terpene content. Crumble has a dry honeycomb texture. All sit 70 to 90% THC. Easy to scoop with a dab tool and stable at room temperature. Brands like Anarchy, North Coast, Stickee, and The 8th cover the range.

Question 6

How does King of Budz keep concentrates fresh?

Accepted Answer

Two things. First, every rosin and solventless concentrate is refrigerated from the moment it arrives, so terpenes and consistency hold up until you buy it. Second, our vendor buy back program sends anything approaching the edge of its freshness window back to the vendor instead of sitting on the shelf. You will not find stale or degraded concentrates at King of Budz.
