I started my exploration with concentrates about a year ago. I got myself a puffco peak pro. I've tried all kinds of different concentrates, but not all of them. I'm wondering if concentrates are concentrates or are there some that are better than others or is it purely personal?

I like sugar wax as its easy to handle and isn't messy. I like wet diamonds. Again easy to handle and might have felt more potent. Dry diamonds were weird and hard to handle, not sure I was a fan. Lastly, budder or batter type, I hate this one. Its so hard to handle and gets way too messy. Have been wanting to try crumble, never had much interest in shatter, idk if I'm missing any.

Would love to hear your thoughts! Thanks

You can find high quality dabs in any consistency, so a lot of that comes down to preference. And in terms of effects, yeah they're all pretty similar whether you're spending a lot of little (excluding the extreme ends of the spectrum).

But if you care about flavor (the main thing Im picky about), there is quite often a difference between the $10 gram of sugar wax and the $30 gram of live resin.

In that sense I've found the sweet spot is mid range live resins/rosins (with the highest terpenes) but more expensive does not necessarily mean better dabs, and rosin is also not inherently better than resin (despite what the prices and marketing often imply).

Yea I've read a bit about rosins and I'm sure I had a few before from the dispo lol just don't recall much. I too prefer the mid route. I try to find most bang for my buck without going to the bottom of the barrel
