Concentrates FAQ Nevada - Dabs, Rosin, Wax, Hash

Live resin uses a hydrocarbon (butane/propane) extraction on fresh-frozen flower - fuller terpene preservation, post-purge residual-solvent-tested. Live rosin uses heat + pressure on fresh-frozen ice-water hash - solventless, premium price, cleanest method. Wax/budder/badder are texture variations of butane hash oil (BHO). Shatter is the glass-clear translucent form of BHO. All NV-licensed concentrates are tested for residual solvents, heavy metals, pesticides, and microbials.

Low-temp (450–550°F / 232–288°C): preserves terpenes, smoother hit, more flavor. Medium-temp (550–650°F): balanced flavor and vapor. High-temp (650°F+): less flavor, more vapor, harsher, can degrade cannabinoids. Most connoisseurs prefer 500–550°F. Use an IR thermometer or e-rig with temperature control for consistency.

Solventless (rosin, ice-water hash, dry sift) is favored by purists - no residual-solvent risk, often retains fuller terpene profile, premium price tier. BHO (butane hash oil, including wax/shatter/badder) is more affordable and can be excellent quality when properly purged. NV CCB requires residual-solvent testing on all BHO products. The "better" choice depends on budget and flavor preference, not safety - both are tested.

Properly stored concentrates last 6–18 months. Store in: silicone or glass containers (not parchment long-term), cool dark place, airtight. Refrigeration is fine for live resin/live rosin (preserves terpenes) but always bring to room temp before opening (condensation = degradation). Distillate is the most shelf-stable - minimal terpenes to oxidize.
