There are various types of hemp extracts on the market today. BHO extracts as you now know are extracts that are extracted using butane. These BHO dabs are available in many different consistencies. Differences in consistency occur due to different extraction material and techniques being used in the extraction process. In some cases these extracts look like regular BHO wax, while in others they look saucy or glassy.
BHO Oil
BHO extracts with loose consistencies are referred to as BHO oil. This oil is sticky and only a little thicker than a liquid. This slightly thick oil is known as sap. Sap and oil in comparison to other concentrate consistencies can be difficult to work with. Because of this, they are not very popular with consumers.
BHO Budder
Like regular butter, BHO budder has a consistency that makes it easy to spread and scoop. It’s because of this similarity we call it budder. This butter-like consistency is attained by agitating the extract during extraction. Budder typically looks wet, and it is often easier to work with than BHO sap or oil. For this reason, it is preferred by those who use portable devices like wax pens. Budder isn’t necessarily any better than other types of consistencies, it all comes down to preference.
BHO Crumble
This type of BHO extract is named after its crumbly consistency. BHO crumble tends to literally crumble when it is handled. When using a dab tool to scoop up crumble, much of it will often break apart. Crumble might be easier to handle than saps and oils, but is still more difficult to use than budder or shatter.
BHO Shatter
Your fingers are sometimes all you need to break off a dab of BHO shatter. This is one of the only types of hemp extracts that can be dabbed without a dab tool. Shatter got its name because it can shatter just like glass. In some cases, you can snap and pull pieces of shatter from a slab of the extract and drop them right into your banger. Some shatter extremely glassy and will shatter into pieces that fly everywhere if you try to use a dab tool.
BHO Live Resin
Unlike other types of BHO extracts, BHO Live resin is extracted from plant material that is cryogenically frozen just after harvesting. The extraction material is kept frozen right up until it is placed into the extraction equipment. Freezing the plant material preserves precious terpenes and cannabinoids that are typically destroyed during the traditional drying and curing process. BHO live resin can take on many consistencies including wax, sauce, budder, crystalline, shatter, and sugar.
BHO Wax
BHO wax is one of the most common forms of BHO extract. Butane extraction, also known as hydrocarbon extraction, has become the primary method of making cannabis extracts. If you buy concentrates at a dispensary, they were most likely extracted using butane. BHO wax is known for having a waxy consistency, which is of course where it gets its name. Full spectrum CBD BHO wax generally has higher concentrations of terpenes and cannabinoids, including CBD, than other types of hemp extracts.
If you are unsure about using butane extracted extracts, purchasing them from trusted vendors like Sauce Warehouse is a good way to ensure you are only consuming clean concentrates.
