Happy birthday brother! Enjoy those beautiful products

I’m such a huge fan of that creamy banana profile. I first encountered it through the Chiquita Banana strain in CA. Enjoy it man, looks tasty

Lookin pretty! That’s a great deal for the Unicorn Poop. How does the Banana Bliss taste?

Also god damn, can’t believe you snagged the coveted legit Cali. Props. Looks like a quality batch

Sooo many 8ers handed over in cigarette cellophane in high school. puke

This is your standard Five Finger Nug Punch packaging. In all seriousness if this post is satire, well done, it made me laugh really hard.

If this post is not satire, oh boy, please don’t smoke that.

I’ll take the uhhhh… Baby Poop OG cold cure.

What’s your preferred rosin consistency/form? As much as I love the freshness and flavor of fresh press, I find that shatter-y consistency to be 1) hard to maintain in storage, 2) hard to handle when trying to scoop a dab. Personally I prefer the cold cured batter/badder or sauce.

Very cool, thank you for sharing the journey and pics. I’d smoke that!

I’m a believer. Would love to see pics when she’s cured!

Hell yeah, Nightmare Cookies is a fitting name.

It definitely has some sweet and fruity notes. It’s a complex smelling/tasting bud!

Beautiful! What strain is she?

Completely understandable and reasonable

I’m grateful for how fast the rosin scene has progressed around here. And I hear you, I’ve had my fair share of lighter rosins. Sometimes that seems to indicate more muted flavor, but not always!

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.

I also wanted to offer some ways to support the instances who are running things, at least the ones I use ;)

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!

Definitely. Appreciate the specific rec
