Shatter. Everything to Know About This Beautiful Concentrate

What Is Cannabis Shatter?

This cannabis concentrate burst on the scene in the early 2010s and quickly became one of the most popular extracts. And rightfully so – it looks mesmerizing and bright and is also easy to use compared to other extracts.

Shatter is BHO or Butane Hash Oil, alongside wax, sap, budder, and others. Shatter stands out with its golden color and unique consistency, and its name comes from the fact that the final product are pressed into a sheet that is easily broken or “shattered.”

How Is Shatter Made?

Extracting all the cannabis essentials when creating shatter uses liquid butane as a solvent. It flushes the cannabinoids and terpenes from the plant matter. The resulting oil is then cleaned, whipped, and heated in the oven to filter solvents. It is then cooled, forming a beautiful, yellow, translucent mass with a glass-like texture. Shatter has a high THC content of about 80%, although some manufacturers focus on high CBD and low THC.1

How to Use Shatter?

Concentrates are popular among consumers for being potent, fast-acting, and providing a wide range of terpenes.

Consumption of concentrates is generally the same for various types, but some are easier to handle than others. Shatter is considered one of the easiest extracts to use, thus recommended for people new to dabbing. And it is aesthetically pleasing as well.

You can use shatter in one of the following ways:

Dab it. Dabbing means heating up and inhaling cannabis concentrates using special equipment. It can be a dab rig, torch lighter, or e-nail, similar to a bong. Or a bit simpler tool would be a nectar collector, which acts like a hummingbird – you move the heated tip of the collector over-extract and inhale it.

Mix it with a flower. The process is called the topping off or waxing – when you place a concentrate like a shatter, wax, or kief over your flower packed in a bowl, joint, or a blunt.

Vape it. It can be done either by using a particular vaporizer made for concentrates.

How to Store Shatter?

In short, the advice is the same as for all other concentrates – keep it in a cool, dark, and dry place. We suggest you read up on storing in our Cannabis Concentrate Storage Guide to make sure your shatter remains fresh for as long as possible.
