As a cannabis user, you have more options than ever before. In addition to smoking buds, you can take hits from a vape pen, take a tincture sublingually, eat an edible, or rub on a topical. Another option that’s been gaining popularity is cannabis concentrates. These highly potent products offer quite a kick of cannabinoids. And, one of the best, most efficient ways to use them is with a wax bong. 

What’s a Wax Bong?

A wax bong is a type of rig that you can use to smoke cannabis wax and other concentrates. It’s similar in design to a regular bong, which you use to smoke ground buds. Instead of a bowl, however, a wax bong has a nail. The nail, which you heat, vaporizes the concentrate so that you can inhale your dose of THC. 

What’s Wax?

Wax is one type of cannabis concentrate. Concentrates are, as the name suggests, concentrated products. They’re extracts of the actual cannabis plant. Manufacturers use solvents to remove THC and other beneficial compounds from the physical plant matter. The process (and solvent) the manufacturer uses influences the texture of the final product.

How Is Wax Different from Other Concentrates?

There are numerous concentrates on the market, and they range in consistency from liquidy and runny to solid and brittle. Common types of concentrates include oil, budder, crumble, shatter, and wax.

Each term, including wax, refers to the consistency of the concentrate. Cannabis waxes are, therefore, waxy in texture. While they’re soft, they’re also moldable, characteristics that can make them easier to handle than other types.

Benefits of Wax

Cannabis wax offers a few significant advantages:

• It’s potent
• You only need a little to achieve the desired results, so your stash goes longer
• There’s less of a recognizable cannabis odor
• Inhaling wax offers fast-acting results

How to Use a Wax Bong

Using a wax bong might look a bit intimidating at first. Once you get the hang of it, though, it’s actually quite easy. First, you grab a small amount of wax using a dab tool. You don’t need much. Something the size of a grain of rice (or less) is often enough. Then, you heat the nail of your rig using a torch. Some rigs come with what’s known as an e-nail (electric nail), which heats automatically when you plug it in. 

Next, you let the nail cool for several seconds. Place your mouth over the mouthpiece when you’re ready, but don’t inhale just yet. Place the concentrate on the nail and begin inhaling slowly (don’t inhale deeply) to begin drawing the vapor into the base of the rig. When you’re ready, then you take your hit. Finally, exhale and enjoy the effects. 

Use a Wax Bong for Potent Experiences

Wax offers a way to get high potency hits, giving you huge results in a tiny package. While you have many options for using wax, a wax bong is one of the most efficient ways to enjoy the benefits of cannabis. Not only are the hits potent, but they also provide fast-acting results. 

If you’re looking to expand your product repertoire, cannabis concentrates, including wax, are a great way to broaden your horizons. Just remember, you don’t need much. Start low and go slow for the best results.

When it comes to cannabis potency, flowers will only get you so far. Some of the strongest buds reach up to 30% THC. Some users are looking for more. This is where concentrates come in. These concentrated cannabis products offer incredible potency, ranging from 50% to more than 90%, depending upon the type. The thing is, there are numerous products on the market today. If you’re new to concentrates, you might not know where to start. In this article, we’ll dive into live rosin wax for a satisfying dab experience.

What Makes Live Rosin “Live?” 

If you’ve never heard of rosin before, it’s a type of concentrate that involves extracting cannabinoids and other valuable compounds from dried and cured cannabis flowers. It’s a type of solventless extraction, meaning that it doesn’t use solvents. Instead, it uses heat and pressure.

Live rosin is a bit different. Instead of dried and cured buds, manufacturers extract cannabinoids and terpenes from frozen buds. When buds undergo drying and curing, some of the cannabinoids and terpenes degrade. With live rosin, cannabis buds get frozen immediately after picking. Freezing the freshly harvested flowers preserves the most beneficial compounds. 

How is Live Rosin Wax Made

Making live rosin is a bit more involved than making regular rosin. First, manufacturers need to create ice wax. They submerge the frozen cannabis into ice water and agitate it to shake off the trichomes. These trichomes then go through a series of mesh strainers to remove any remaining plant matter. 

After filtering, manufacturers collect the trichomes and dry them into full-melt bubble hash with a freeze dryer. Next, the bubble hash gets pressed in a rosin press using low heat and pressure. The resulting product is purer and more flavorful than regular rosin. 

What are the Benefits

Like regular rosin, live rosin is a solventless concentrate. It doesn’t require the use of butane, CO2, or any other solvents to extract the cannabinoids from the plant material. Live rosin also provides significant potency in a very small dose.

One of the most significant benefits of liv rosin is that it retains many more terpenes than other types of concentrates. As such, you get much more flavorful hits. 

Dabbing for an Enjoyable Experience

When it comes to concentrates, dabbing is the most popular method of consumption. If you’ve never used one before, it can look intimidating. Once you get the hang of it, though, it’s fairly straightforward and provides some satisfying experiences.

Before doing a dab, you do need to do a little prep work. First, you should get a very small dose of your live rosin on your dab tool. Next, you need to heat your nail with a blow torch (unless you have an e-nail rig). Allow the nail to cool for several seconds and get your dab tool ready.

When you’re ready, apply the live rosin to the heated nail and place your mouth over the mouthpiece. Inhale slowly to bring the filtered smoke into your lungs. You don’t have to hold in the smoke for the best experience. With a little practice and some high-quality live rosin, you’ll have great dabs every time.

Live rosin might not be one of the most well-known cannabis concentrates, but it’s definitely worth checking out. Not only does it provide exceptional potency in such a small amount, but it also provides a more flavorful, well-rounded experience.
