Badder, also known as batter and budder, is a type of cannabis concentrate. It is a soft, creamy substance that is made by purging extracted cannabis oil under heat and pressure. The result is a high-THC concentrate with a smooth, buttery consistency. It is typically consumed by dabbing, which involves heating the cannabis concentrate on a hot surface and inhaling the vapor through a water pipe or vaporizer. It can also be used in edibles or topically as a lotion.
How to make badder
There are a variety of methods for making cannabis batters. Here is a general outline of the process:
- Obtain high-quality cannabis flowers or trim. The starting material for making cannabis batters should be as high quality as possible. Cannabis flower that has been properly cured will produce the best results. Trim, the leaves and small branches trimmed off the plant during the harvesting process, can also be used to make batters.
- Extract the cannabis oil. There are several methods for extracting oil from cannabis, including solvent-based and solventless extraction. Solvent-based extraction involves using a solvent, such as butane, to extract the oil from the plant material. Solventless extraction methods, such as rosin pressing, involve using heat and pressure to extract the oil without solvents.
- Purge the extract. Once the oil has been extracted, it will need to be purged to remove any remaining plant material, impurities, and solvents. This can be done using heat and vacuum pressure, which will cause the extract to become more viscous and remove any remaining contaminants.
- Whip the extract. Once the extract has been purged, it can be whipped to create the desired consistency. This can be done using a hand mixer or a stand mixer. The extract should be whipped until it becomes smooth and creamy.
- Package and store the batter. Once the batter is made, it can be packaged and stored in an airtight container. It is important to store the batter in a cool, dry place to prevent it from degrading or losing potency.
How to use badder
There are a few different ways to use badder:
Dabbing. One of the most popular methods for consuming badder is dabbing. This involves heating the badder on a hot surface, such as a dab rig or vaporizer, and inhaling the vapor through a water pipe or vaporizer. Dabbing is a quick and efficient way to consume badder and can produce strong psychoactive effects.
Vaping. Vaping involves heating the badder on a hot surface and inhaling the vapor through a vaporizer or e-cigarette. Vaping is a quick and efficient way to consume badder and can produce strong psychoactive effects.
To vape badder, you will need a vaporizer that is specifically designed for use with concentrates. Some vaporizers have a separate chamber or attachment for concentrates, while others can be used with concentrates by applying a small amount of badder to a special heating element or surface. Following the manufacturer’s instructions for your specific vaporizer is crucial to ensure it is used safely and properly.
Edibles. Cannabis badder can also be used to make edibles, such as cookies or brownies. To use badder in edibles, it must first be decarboxylated, which involves heating the badder to activate the THC. Once the badder has been decarboxylated, it can be mixed into any recipe that calls for butter or oil.
Topically. Cannabis badder can also be applied topically as a lotion or balm. To use badder topically, it must first be decarboxylated as described above. Once the badder has been decarboxylated, it can be mixed with a carrier oil or lotion and applied to the skin.
Can you smoke a badder?
While it is possible to smoke badder, it is not the most common method of consumption and may not be the most efficient or effective way to consume it, as it can be difficult to ignite and may not burn evenly.
You can add badder to a cannabis roll if you prefer smoking weed. Twaxing is a method of consuming marijuana that involves adding a concentrate, such as badder, to a joint or blunt. Twaxing can enhance the potency and effects of the marijuana and can add a unique flavor and texture to the smoke.
Here is a general outline of how to twax using badder:
- Obtain high-quality badder. To twax using badder, you will need a high-quality product free from contaminants and impurities.
- Grind the marijuana. Begin by grinding your desired strain of marijuana using a grinder or crushing it with a spoon or other flat object.
- Prepare the joint or blunt. Lay out the rolling paper or tobacco leaf for the joint or blunt and place the ground marijuana in the center.
- Add the badder. Use a spoon or knife to place a small amount of badder on the ground marijuana. Be careful not to add too much, as this can make the joint or blunt difficult to roll and smoke.
- Roll the joint or blunt. Carefully roll the joint or blunt, distributing the badder evenly as you roll. You may need to moisten the edges of the rolling paper or tobacco leaf to help it stick together.
- Smoke the joint or blunt. Once the joint or blunt is rolled, it is ready to be smoked. Light the end of the joint or blunt and inhale the smoke through the mouthpiece.
What’s the difference between badder and wax?
Badder and wax are both types of concentrated cannabis products that are made by extracting THC and other cannabinoids from the plant using a solvent, such as butane or CO2. The resulting product is a concentrated form of cannabis that is much more potent than the plant material on its own.
The main difference between badder and wax is the texture and consistency of the final product. Badder is a soft, smooth, and creamy concentrate similar in texture to peanut butter or soft taffy. It is made by whipping the extracted cannabis oil while purging, creating a creamy consistency.
Wax, on the other hand, has a harder and more brittle consistency, similar to honeycomb or ear wax. It is made by agitating the extracted oil, which causes it to crystallize and harden. The resulting product is often crumbly or easily breakable.
Both badder and wax can be consumed in various ways, including smoking, vaporizing, and dabbing. They are often used by individuals seeking a more potent and fast-acting form of cannabis.
What is a live cannabis badder?
Live cannabis badder is a type of cannabis concentrate made using a process called “live resin extraction.” This process involves freezing the cannabis plant material immediately after it is harvested, and then using a solvent, such as butane or CO2, to extract the THC and other cannabinoids from the plant.
The resulting product is a concentrated form of cannabis known for preserving the full spectrum of terpenes and other compounds found in the plant, which are thought to contribute to the unique flavors and effects of different strains of cannabis. Live cannabis badder is often made using high-quality, fresh cannabis flowers, and is prized for its potency and flavor.
Like other forms of cannabis concentrate, live cannabis badder can be consumed in various ways, including smoking, vaporizing, and dabbing.
