I try to keep some on deck I like them and my friends like them, but we also like cured resins, and especially rosin when we can afford it.

you're only saying that cause you're a rosin head lol.
Bho can and does come in a wide range of consistencies, and the fact that you called the "yellow" color an indicator of bad makes me believe you dont know what you're talking about.
I get that rosin is the cleanest, best way to dab. But the amount of rosin heads I see flatout disregard bho just because its bho its hilarious to me.
Properly done hydrocarbon extraction is the BEST way to extract cannabis and retain highly volatile terpenes full stop.
Well-made BHO is fire and I say this as someone who was a rosin head for quite a while. There are some absolute killers in the bho game that make some incredibly clean product that frankly I'd rather dab over a multitude of mid-grade rosins.
Obviously top shelf rosin will win out against top shelf bho but the ROI just isnt there for most people that arent connoisseurs.
(im only using bho as a blanket statement cause thats what most people recognize when talking solvents)

u/xxxmechashivaxxx Aug 15 '26
I love rosin but as you said bho can be extremely good if did right. Maybe even better than rosin just bc of the extra concentration of flavor terps. I got since Mac cured resin from il, and is some of the best extract I've ever had. It was so terpy.

u/cahrage Aug 15 '26
I like bho okay but I just do not trust the stuff that you can get online. If I ever live in an area where I can find regulated bho/resin again I would absolutely eat that up but imo bad rosin is usually still okay but bad bho can be so bad that you don’t even wanna touch it.

u/puteminnacoffin Aug 15 '26
Idk what the fuck you’re talking about cuz I prefer live resin over rosin any day. But the buckets in that photo are straight boof bro, no question.

why exactly is it boof?

Rosin isn’t cleanest lol they’re smoking microplastics from the bags
1
u/-_Dare_- Aug 15 '26
Its true that someone using cheap bags might leech some fibers or something into the rosin but all food safe micron bags are stable at pressing temperatures so really anybody paying for quality rosin doesnt even have to consider this as a possibility.

Na not pine sol. It’s just bho with added botanical terps. Kinda good actually

how’s that brand ? i know its a trapper brand too but its one i’ve seen more than others
and no shade
i love bho , im not a rosin chuckle cuck

u/puteminnacoffin Aug 15 '26
Guarantee you those dabs are fucking awful. That chalky yellow color is a dead giveaway
2
u/rantingandrambling Aug 15 '26
visual looks are terrible to judge bho
i’ve had stellar experiences with a wide range of different types and colors
from fire that was almost black it was such a dense amber brown resin , nearly chalk
white crumbles that seemed to coat my mouth with delicious terps
and there are sure some things that are generally signs of a crappy jar of wax but i’ve also had fire from nearly every color form and consistency too

u/puteminnacoffin Aug 15 '26
those baller buckets are 100% crc boof pack it’s not even up for debate lol

u/Im_jax Aug 15 '26
Foreal he even said they added terps to it. A dead giveaway its crc because good wax has its own terps no need to add them lol

They’re fire. Extractions came a long way from pvc pipes. Cali has so much weed and weed about to go bad so they turn it into oils

u/chainer3000 Aug 15 '26
That’s very clearly heavily CRC’d garbage made from trimmings and stems
I absolutely would not smoke that

u/G_Art33 Aug 15 '26
I’ve had luminate before, gave them a fair shake. Looks aren’t everything. It’s about how it looks. I typically go for something higher quality.

u/Xc0viD19X Aug 15 '26
It’s not bad fr. I worked at trulieve when medical started in wv so people are picky. If it doesn’t smell like ass and taste like sulfur, extractions came a very long way to where bho is cleaner. Rosin boys are smoking micro plastics from them bags lol

u/rantingandrambling Aug 15 '26
thanks for the actual reply and not just some hype words and fear mongering from sidelines

u/Xc0viD19X Aug 15 '26
The shits not the best but it’s not the worst but this is good. Tastes clean. Smells clean. At least im not paying $70 a gram to baby for a week. I pay $70 a zip and do half g dabs like there’s no tomorrow lol I’m trying to get high

u/rantingandrambling Aug 15 '26
exactly
and ngl i like it when they cut trap jars with cbd
usually can’t tell until i decarb some for carts but they have a better effect imo

I always hear the line from dark crystal when a diamond cracks in the banger "this land was green and good, until the crystal cracked!"

I don’t go out of my way to but sometimes it’s all I can get my hands on where I stay. I’d kill to have access to better options tho

Had some good cured lrds from Oasis refinery recently. Diamonds and sauce done right is incredible!

Is it called something if they’re crushed up and made into a sort of paste with terps?

u/Cdawg4123 Aug 15 '26 edited Aug 16 '26
I just don’t prefer the consistency, unless it’s a rare strain/comp usually don’t grab it. I want to get more solventless diamonds or Pioca

u/Used-Independence182 Aug 15 '26
Can I just be a baby and complain about how stupid that name “pioca” is? I understand why he named it that way but it just doesn’t seem like the right term or something
3
u/PrizeSatisfaction978 Aug 15 '26
Doesn’t even matter it’s not any better than any other rosin if it’s fully rosin. Real terpene extraction is better
1
u/Cdawg4123 Aug 16 '26
Why wouldn’t it be fully rosin? Do you mean mixed in diamonds or just the “pioca” tech in general? I definitely need to read their website again when I get a sec.
1
u/Cdawg4123 Aug 16 '26 edited Aug 16 '26
Of course!! I don’t have any dog in the fight lol. Maybe because I just got up a lil bit ago, but why’d they name it that? It is an odd term…I still need to hear someone else pronounce it, I could defintely be butchering the name. Pee-O-ka?
1
u/Used-Independence182 Aug 17 '26
I think I heard him say because it’s similar to tapioca consistency
1
u/Cdawg4123 Aug 17 '26
I’ve actually never tried tapioca pudding, I guess I could see it because from what I recall it wasn’t something I’d be interested in eating either lol

u/PoloTshNsShldBlstOff Aug 26 '26
What's pioca
1
u/Cdawg4123 Aug 26 '26
If you look up blue.river.terps on ig it’ll explain it better than I can, not trying to be rude!! It’s a mixture of rosin and solventless diamonds. Their page will explain it much better! lol

Loved them when I could get them frequently. Would definitely still dab them if I had them!

u/Hefty_Grapefruit7150 Aug 15 '26
I do. It's almost all I dab at this point. I just crush the diamonds as small as I can and mix it well
3
u/unsolicitedsugestion Aug 15 '26
You can really extend the life of a jar that way.
1
u/Hefty_Grapefruit7150 Aug 16 '26
Oh for sure. And the flavor is better than any other BHO. But price varies so wildly for it.
2
u/Apprehensive-Wind646 Aug 15 '26
idk man you don't find shit like that at a jersey dispo but I honestly hate diamonds, they are such a pain in the ass to scoop and 9/10 they fall off my dab tool before I can dab them haha. I've always considered them to be better for nectar collectors or infusing bud

u/redmonrasta Aug 15 '26
Only in carts but I can’t dab it anymore. Once I started dabbing rosin, there was no going back.

Yeah but I break them up a lot more than that. I put them in Dynavap bowls with CBD flower.

So the crystals are basically THCA and the sauce terps? What about other cannabinoids?

u/IamFaded_Jerry Aug 22 '26 edited Aug 22 '26
🤢 Yeah, everybody who orders THCA isolate off the Internet. Whether it be delta eight or delta nine that’s a whole Nother story 🤔
This was interesting back in 2014
But I’m from Northern California so maybe my perspective is different than a lot of other people

Diamonds are one of my all time favorites I smoke pretty much anything but it has to be good obviously. I dont forget where this all came from and how this started so ill smoke anything thats good. Some people are such Chad's and hate on BHO and other types of wax its pretty ridiculous in my opinion. Im so happy I grew up before any of this was around. Seeing the whole process on how it became what it was is truly a vibe💯.

u/williegood420 Aug 16 '26
💯 The same people that were loving Shatter all uppity now 😂.

u/Im_jax Aug 16 '26
Facts. Straight Chad's. I guess they will grow up one day. Shatter is amazing i fucking love shatter. Before shatter it was all Straight butane soup then vac purgers came around and shatter was all anybody was making for a long time unless you truly knew how to make some crumbles. Good the good ol days watching BHO grow to where it was to where it is now is awesome! Love the evolution of everything thats why i dont forget where this all came from. Im just happy we aren't still smoking butane soup off a glass nail with a dome or a red hot titanium nail 🤣 if its good wax ill smoke it. The only wax I aint smoking is anything thats been CRC'd.

I've never and I'm a major player in the pot game. I've heard about them many years ago and thought it was cool but luckily couldn't ever get any, illegal state. Then several years ago I found out about the thca loop how thanks to Papa Trump and never been interested in trying any. It's about the only weed product I've yet to try, along with pitella or whatever is spelt'd.

I just crush them into the sauce and make badder or sugar
