I do LOVE the clean dabs of properly winterized cold-filtered hash-oil. More so if left as Absolute Amber glass.
I just feel like I'm losing (although minimal) terpenes, through the winterization process, those terps provide valuable medicinal properties.
This actually further develops the debate on Wax vs Shatter.
When I first endeavored into bho, I was taught that shatter is far superior of a product, and I still somewhat believe that to be true. However, after getting good with changing atmospheric pressure (vac and chamber).. I've obtained an acquired taste for a properly made wax.
Shatter nowadays is primarily used in evening, as it's sooooo sleepy, can barely hold my eyes open with shatter, even if it's a high sativa, i.e. Green Crack.
If I take that same batch of Green Crack, split in half, and keep one in a shatter form, then dehydrate the other half through holding a vac.
The wax holds true to the properties of the strain used, whereas shatter seems to make me sleepy no matter what strain.
Weird shit...and I don't have an explanation..haha
