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

In terms of high, the various types of concentrates you would use in a dab rig are relatively the same. About the same variation as weed.

But the consistency can change how well it smokes/vapes. I like shatter for dabs because it's easy to break off a chunk and drop it in/on the hot plate. I like crumble with a nectar collector because it is easy to make "lines" like I'm snorting coke, but is melty and sticky enough that it doesn't get sucked up like a powder or slurped up like something more liquidy like live resin.

Distillate vs live resin or shatter or crumble and what not isn't the same high. It's more uniform across the spectrum of breeds used and the high is short lived and feels only slightly the same as what you'd expect from weed. It's usually what's in a cart. If you like carts, you gotta look specifically for live resin or rosin because distillate sucks.

And distillate is what comes in the vapen carts right?

Typically, yes. But they do have live resin carts, as well.
