Rosin Base Materials:
- Bubble Hash – Made with ice water and micron screens; varies in melt quality.
- Dry Sift (Kief) – Collected trichomes, often pressed or used directly.
- Temple Ball Hash – Traditional hand-rolled hash, usually made from sieved trichomes or bubble hash; pliable and rich in flavor.
💰 Why Some Concentrates Cost More Than Other
Some concentrates are a little pricier than others, and it all comes down to how they’re made. Here’s what goes into that price tag:
🥇 Rosin – The Premium Pick
Rosin, especially live rosin, is typically the most expensive concentrate on the market. Why?
- It’s solventless, made with just heat and pressure — no chemicals.
- High-quality input material is required (usually top-tier hash).
- The process is labor-intensive, and yields are often lower.
- It’s considered the cleanest, most flavorful option, with rich terpene profiles and no residual solvents.
🥈 Live Resin – Flavor Meets Fire
Live resin (usually BHO-based) comes next in price due to:
- Use of fresh-frozen flower, which preserves more terpenes and flavor.
- Requires special equipment and handling during extraction and storage.
- Offers a powerful, full-spectrum experience that sits between rosin purity and BHO affordability.
🥉 BHO/PHO – Potent and Accessible
BHO and PHO concentrates like shatter, wax, and crumble are typically the most affordable.
- Made with chemical solvents (butane or propane).
- Uses dried flower or trim, which is more cost-effective than fresh-frozen.
- While still potent, these are usually lower in terpene content and not as “clean” as rosin or live resin.
