What Are Cannabis Concentrates?
Cannabis concentrates are products made by separating cannabinoids, terpenes, and other compounds from cannabis plant material. The resulting extract usually contains a higher concentration of THC or CBD than dried cannabis flower.
Concentrates come in different textures, potencies, package sizes, and extraction styles. Some are made with solvents during processing, while others are produced using water, ice, heat, pressure, or mechanical separation.
Because many concentrates contain high levels of THC, they’re generally better suited to experienced cannabis consumers. Always review the product label before purchasing or consuming a concentrate.
Types of Cannabis Concentrates
UpHi’s concentrate selection changes as products sell out and new releases arrive. Current formats may include hash, rosin, live resin, shatter, diamonds, RSO, and other extracts.
Hash
Hash is made by collecting and compressing cannabis trichomes. Depending on the production method, the finished product may be soft, firm, sticky, crumbly, or formed into a ball or strip.
Common formats include pressed hash, bubble hash, temple balls, Lebanese hash, Afghan-style hash, and full-spectrum hash oil.

Live Rosin and Hash Rosin
Rosin is a solventless concentrate created by applying heat and pressure to cannabis flower or hash. Live hash rosin is generally made from fresh-frozen cannabis that is processed into ice-water hash before being pressed.
Rosin products are often chosen by shoppers looking for a solventless extract with a pronounced cannabis flavour and aroma.

Live Resin
Live resin is generally made from cannabis that is frozen shortly after harvest instead of being dried and cured first. The frozen plant material is processed to create a concentrate that retains many of the original aromatic compounds.
Live resin may be sold as sauce, badder, budder, full-spectrum extract, or another consistency depending on the producer and process.

Shatter
Shatter is a cannabis extract named for its firm, glass-like texture. It can break into small pieces when handled, although its consistency changes with temperature and formulation.
Shatter commonly contains high levels of THC and is usually consumed with a dab rig or compatible concentrate vaporizer.

THCA Diamonds and Whipped Diamonds
Cannabis diamonds are crystalline concentrates rich in THCA. When heated, THCA converts into THC.
Diamonds may be sold on their own, combined with terpene-rich sauce, or whipped into a softer consistency. Product composition and potency vary by producer and production lot.

RSO and Cannabis Oils
RSO is a thick cannabis extract commonly sold in a syringe-style applicator. Some RSO products are intended for ingestion, while other cannabis oils may have different directions for use.
Don’t assume every extract is meant to be dabbed, smoked, or vaped. Follow the product label and use the product only as directed by the producer.
Solventless vs. Solvent-Extracted Concentrates
One of the main differences between concentrates is how the cannabinoids and terpenes are separated from the cannabis plant.
| Type | How It Is Produced | Common Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Solventless concentrates | Produced using methods such as ice water, dry sifting, heat, pressure, or mechanical separation | Live rosin, hash rosin, bubble hash, pressed hash, and dry-sift hash |
| Solvent-extracted concentrates | Produced using an approved extraction solvent that is removed during processing | Live resin, shatter, wax, sauce, diamonds, and some cannabis oils |
Solventless doesn’t automatically mean a product is stronger or better. The right choice depends on the product’s cannabinoid content, terpene profile, consistency, production quality, price, and your preferred method of consumption.
How Cannabis Concentrates Are Used
The correct method depends on the product. Always check the package before using a cannabis concentrate.
Dab Rigs
A dab rig uses a heated surface to vaporize a small amount of concentrate. Traditional rigs may require a torch, while electronic rigs control the heating process through a built-in battery.
Concentrate Vaporizers
Some portable vaporizers are designed specifically for solid or semi-solid cannabis concentrates. A standard dry-herb vaporizer or 510-thread battery may not be compatible unless the device manufacturer says otherwise.
Adding Concentrates to Flower
Certain concentrates can be added to a bowl or joint. This can significantly increase the product’s total THC content, so it may not be appropriate for new or low-tolerance consumers.
Ingestible Extracts
Some cannabis extracts are designed to be swallowed or used under the tongue. These products should not be inhaled unless the package specifically states that they are intended for inhalation.

How to Choose a Cannabis Concentrate
Concentrate names can be confusing. Start by comparing the information on the product label instead of choosing based only on the product name.
Check the Intended Use
Confirm whether the product is meant for dabbing, vaporizing, smoking with flower, or ingestion. Not every cannabis extract can be used in the same way.
Review the THC and CBD Content
Concentrates can contain much more THC than dried flower. Review both the total THC and total CBD values on the package.
Higher THC doesn’t always mean a better product. Flavour, texture, extraction method, terpene content, and overall formulation also matter.
Compare Extraction Methods
Decide whether you prefer a solventless product such as rosin or hash, or a solvent-extracted product such as live resin, shatter, or diamonds.
Confirm Hardware Requirements
Some concentrates require a dab rig, electronic rig, concentrate pen, or other compatible accessory. Check what equipment you need before purchasing.
Consider Your Experience Level
Many concentrates are high-potency products. New consumers should avoid treating a concentrate like dried flower and should use only a very small amount at first.
UpHi’s CannSell-certified staff can explain formats, package labels, hardware requirements, and product differences. They can’t provide medical advice or guarantee how a product will affect you.
