Wax, Crumble or Shatter CBD: the main differences

What's the real difference between wax, crumble and CBD shatter, all those CBD concentrates? It's simple: it's all a question of texture, potency and use. Mama explains how to choose the one that's right for you.

Things to remember

• Each concentrate has its own specific texture, potency and use.
• Your experience, your tolerance and your objective will guide your choice.
• Not all concentrates have the same taste or ease of use.

Wax CBD: flexible, powerful and easy to use

Wax is often the first step into the world of concentrates. It lives up to its name with itswaxy, unctuous texture, a little sticky but easy to handle with a tool. It contains between 50 and 80% CBD, which already makes it quite strong.

You can use wax CBD wax by dab (if you're equipped), by vaporization (in a vaporizer compatible with concentrates) or by incorporating it into an oil or fatty preparation. Beware, the effect is fast-acting, sometimes in just a few minutes!

Wax often retains a good hemp scent, with natural terpenes. So it's a good choice if you're looking for both power and aromatic experience.

It's the right choice if you're a regular CBD user or want a more effective alternative to oils.

Crumble CBD: dry, potent and ready to use

Crumble has a very different texture, more crumbly, with a drier, less sticky feel. It resembles a small cookie that can be crumbled , and this is often what makes it easier to handle than wax.

It's also one of the most potent concentrates, with CBD levels hovering around 80-90%, sometimes higher. Users love its rapid, deep effect, particularly for calming stress, pain or promoting good sleep.

You can consume it as a dab, add it to an oily base or spray it on with the right equipment. Some people even use it in homemade recipes such as massage oils or personalized night creams.

If you want something powerful, dry, easy to dose and versatile, the CBD crumble crumble ticks all the boxes.

Shatter CBD: pure, brittle, for experts only

Shatter is the purest and most technical concentrate. Its texture is hard, brittle, almost transparent, like cold caramel or fine glass. It's pure, clean concentrate.

CBD levels are often very high, up to 99%! It's a competition concentrate, with no terpenes and no frills.

But beware: it requires good equipment and a certain amount of practice to handle. It's not the one Mama recommends for beginners. It's very powerful, very dry, with a more direct but sometimes less enveloping effect than full spectrum concentrates.

Use it as a dab, a high-temperature spray, or even a microdose mixed with an oil.

How do you choose the right concentrate for you?

Here are a few simple tips to help you make sense of it all:

• If you're new to concentrates,lawax is the best place to start. Easy to handle, aromatic, powerful but not overpowering.
• If you want a strong, clean effect, without any special equipment, choose crumble.
• If you're already comfortable, want pure CBD and flash action, shatter is for you.

And don't forget to always start with small quantities to see how your body reacts, and adjust according to your needs.
