How Do You Smoke Shatter?
Did you know that top-quality shatter contains 85-90% tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) potency, much more than an average marijuana joint?
Shatter, the purest form of cannabis, is a beautiful and brittle substance. With its transparent honey-like hue, it is popular for its extraordinary, distinct, and long-lasting effect.
One gram of shatter takes at least 7-8 grams of dried cannabis flower after using a solvent. The final substance undergoes various purging cycles, after which the solvent is completely removed from the concentrate.
When you purchase shatter, ensure it has the right texture, color consistency, and clarity. Living up to the name, it should be crisp with a glass-like shatter concentrate so that it can easily be broken down.
You can try various techniques to smoke up when you procure the substance in its purest form! Let’s take a look at the most popular methods.
4 Unique ways to smoke shatter
Let us look at the best ways to enjoy the unforgettable effects of shatter!
1. Roll it up in a joint
The easiest, cheapest, and most accessible way is to smoke shatter in a joint. All you need to do is crumble the shatter, mix it with the weed or spread it evenly on the paper, roll it up smoothly, and smoke up. This method, also called Twaxing, is one of the most preferred methods for those adept at rolling and smoking.
2. Smoke shatter in a pipe or bong
Surprisingly, shatter is pipe and bong-friendly! This method doesn’t require much equipment; you only need a bong, bowl, and screen!
- Pack your flower in the bowl
- Sprinkle your shatter on the flower
- Smoke up
Pro Tip: Add ground cannabis as a shelter for an even burn and savor the aroma and flavor.
3. Dab
This is one of the most expensive ways to smoke shatter, requiring a range of tools like a carb cap, dab nail, dabber, and dab torch. However, this method is also one of the most effective ways of consuming cannabis concentrates.
Dab rigs preserve the aromas and flavors of shatter. Here’s how to take a dab hit –
- Start by creating the shatter concentrate on the metal dabber.
- Heat the nail red hot and wait for it to cool down.
- Put the shatter concentrate on the nail and inhale the vapor for an instant and long-lasting effect.
4. Smoke shatter with a vape pen
The stoner favorite, a vape pen, is the best way to smoke shatter. It has several benefits:
- You don’t have to smoke shatter by concentrating it with dried flowers
- You can enjoy the pure and unadulterated form of shatter
- It is safe, rechargeable, and convenient
- You can prevent the hard-hitting highs
However, you must invest in the right kind of vape pen. Buy one that is compatible with concentrates. Go for a rechargeable and sleek vape pen for the ultimate convenience in your journey.
All you need to do is fill in the vape pen with shatter, and you are ready to vape. You can also adjust the heat settings and temperature according to your needs.
Conclusion
There is no right or wrong way to smoke shatter, as it entirely depends on the availability of equipment, ease and convenience, and the enjoyment you derive from it.
