You\u2019ve probably noticed that a lot of your favorite vaping products nowadays contain something called <\/span>live resin<\/span><\/i> \u2013 a type of extract that makes the inside of that vape cartridge look darker and thicker than what you might be used to.\u00a0 Live resin isn\u2019t different from other hemp extracts in terms of its chemical compounds, but it\u2019s still favored by a lot of us due to those unique flavors derived from its distinctive manufacturing process.<\/span><\/p>\n

With live resin taking over the hemp vaping realm, we just gotta take a closer look into the making of this extract, and what it can do for your vaping experience.\u00a0 Basically, there is a reason why so many vapers refuse to vape anything but live resin these days, as in general, it offers up loads of advantages to your vaping lifestyle.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is Live Resin?<\/b><\/p>\n

Live resin is a specific type of full-spectrum hemp extract that\u2019s derived from fresh, flash-frozen hemp flower \u2013 not dry-cured flower, as is the more traditional medium.\u00a0 Basically, dry-curing is a process that\u2019s used for manufacturing cannabis flower \u2013 as in, the buds that you buy for smoking, vaping, or cooking\/baking with.\u00a0 Dry-curing is phenomenal for flower, since it preserves the flower buds in order to avoid mold growth, so they can last for a lot longer than fresh buds.\u00a0 On flip side though, dry-curing inevitably weakens the <\/span>trichomes<\/span><\/a> on the buds.\u00a0 Trichomes, for those who don\u2019t know, are resinous crystals that coat the flower, containing the <\/span>cannabinoids<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>terpenes<\/span><\/a> that we want when we consume cannabis.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dry-curing is a process meant for preserving flower, so why do we use it for making extracts then, which already are preserved by the very nature of the extraction process?\u00a0 Good question, indeed, and the answer is why we have live resin.\u00a0 Basically, by flash-freezing fresh hemp flower buds, the trichomes on those buds are maintained, and the result is an extract that has a far higher concentration of those very compounds we want from our hemp products.<\/span><\/p>\n

How is Live Resin Made?<\/b><\/p>\n

Live resin takes flower buds that are flash-frozen at the time of being picked, and from that point, a standard CO2 extraction is used to get those beneficial hemp compounds separated from the raw plant material.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It begins with hemp flower buds that are harvested just like they ordinarily are, except they never undergo a curing process.\u00a0 Instead, at the time of being picked, they\u2019re frozen using dry ice or a cryogenic freezing machine.\u00a0 From there, chilled CO2 is pushed through the plant material to extract the desirable compounds.\u00a0 Then, it undergoes a standard distillation process to purify the extract, removing impurities so you end up with a flawless full-spectrum live resin extract.<\/span><\/p>\n

How Does Live Resin Impact My Vaping Experience?<\/b><\/p>\n

Like we said, live resin, containing a higher concentration of cannabinoids and terpenes, is darker in color and thicker in consistency, to the point that it\u2019s very noticeable right off the bat.\u00a0 But, of course, the benefits of going the live resin route aren\u2019t just superficial.\u00a0 That higher concentration, naturally, means that you\u2019re going to end up with a more potent extract, and that\u2019s good news in all kinds of ways.<\/span><\/p>\n

What are some Benefits of Live Resin?<\/b><\/p>\n

Of course, you\u2019re probably wondering at this point, with all the info we have given you so far, if live resin can be beneficial to your vaping experience (or any other delivery method you use for that matter that contains this extract).<\/span><\/p>\n

Benefit #1: Stronger Effects<\/b><\/p>\n

Taking in higher concentrations of cannabinoids and terpenes when you vape live resin means that the effects will be stronger.\u00a0 If you\u2019re all about certain strains, just wait until you try them in live resin form.\u00a0 A powerful effect that\u2019s unlike anything you\u2019ve vaped before is what can be expected.<\/span><\/p>\n

Benefit #2: Stronger Flavor and Aroma\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

You can also expect a much bolder flavor, as the flavor of each strain comes from its terpenes, and again, live resin maintains a higher level of terpenes than a traditional extract.\u00a0 The flavor is also more complex, and has a fresher taste, so that means that you\u2019ll taste notes in your favorite strains that you never noticed before.\u00a0 Of course, this is going to apply to the aroma as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

Benefit #3: Better Value\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Obviously, all of this equals better value.\u00a0 With more impact per puff of vapor, you won\u2019t need as much to get the effects that you\u2019re looking for, and that will make your vape last longer, all while vapes made with live resin typically don\u2019t come with a much higher price tag than vapes made with a more standard dry-cured extract.<\/span><\/p>\n

Another thing that we love about live resin is its enhanced shelf stability.\u00a0 Using flash-frozen flower instead of dry-cured buds means that the product preserves itself better, and as a result, it\u2019s more chemically stable, so that it won\u2019t lose its potency as easily when exposed to various environments.<\/span><\/p>\n

Benefit #4: The Effects are for the Most Part Immediate<\/b><\/p>\n

Because live resin is so potent, the effects are also faster-acting.\u00a0 The more potent a product, the quicker it absorbs into the body, and as a result, you can enjoy the potential benefits of live resin, as well as the high of intoxicating cannabinoids, typically within just a couple of minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Benefit #5: More of the Entourage Effect<\/b><\/p>\n

You can expect more of the entourage effect from live resin, which is the benefit of consuming all of the compounds as they naturally occur in the plant, as they work together synergistically to boost one another\u2019s effects.\u00a0 Live resin is full-spectrum, meaning it contains all of these compounds together in one extract, and the higher potency and reduced degradation of the compounds, through the process of making live resin, gives you more synergistic results.<\/span><\/p>\n

Are There Any Downsides to Live Resin?<\/b><\/p>\n

Live resin doesn\u2019t really have any serious drawbacks when it pertains to your vaping experience (or any other delivery method for that matter).\u00a0 As we mentioned, it improves your flavor, and the effectiveness of the product, while being more shelf-stable, and having better value in terms of purchase.\u00a0 However, there are some very minor potential cons to be aware of.<\/span><\/p>\n

Con #1: Higher Risk of Clogging<\/b><\/p>\n

One thing that can happen with live resin is that it may clog more easily, because it\u2019s thicker in consistency \u2013 it\u2019s kind of syrupy, while traditional extracts are more like oils.\u00a0 This happens more often if your vape is exposed to cold, which causes the consistency of live resin to get even thicker.\u00a0 So, the good news is that keeping your live resin at room temp means that clogging is far less likely.\u00a0 And, if a clog does occur, just consider placing your vape in a warmer spot of your home until the consistency does finally loosen up.<\/span><\/p>\n

Con #2: Slightly More Expensive<\/b><\/p>\n

Live resin products can be slightly more expensive than their counterparts, but the price difference is usually minimal, and again, you\u2019re getting higher potency out of each serving, so the value is still generally very good.<\/span><\/p>\n

Con #3: Still a Risk of Contaminants<\/b><\/p>\n

Live resin doesn\u2019t have a higher risk of containing contaminants than \u201cstandard\u201d extracts, but keep in mind that the risk does exist with any product.\u00a0 That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to always look at the third-party lab reports before buying any hemp product.<\/span><\/p>\n

Does the Dosage Change When You are Using Live Resin?<\/b><\/p>\n

Like we pointed out earlier, live resin vapes bring about stronger effects, and that\u2019s a good thing when it comes to the value you get out of one of these products.\u00a0 But, that doesn\u2019t mean that your whole dosage situation needs to change.\u00a0 You can go ahead and vape just like you usually do, since even though live resin is more potent, it\u2019s not more potent to the extent that you\u2019ll feel a dramatic difference that brings about a higher potential for side effects.<\/span><\/p>\n

Is Vaping Live Resin Right For You?<\/b><\/p>\n

Live resin brings clear advantages to anyone who enjoys vaping cannabinoids and terpenes.\u00a0 But, does that mean that it\u2019s right for everyone?\u00a0 The biggest thing that matters in this regard is a person\u2019s tolerance.\u00a0 Because live resin is more potent, it may be a little too much for someone who\u2019s new to intoxicating cannabinoids like delta 8, THCp, etc.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, if you\u2019re someone who wants to get a higher level of effectiveness out of your vapes, and even would appreciate a bolder flavor and aroma at the same time, then live resin is a no-brainer.\u00a0 You\u2019ll have a hard time finding someone who has a generally good tolerance who doesn\u2019t prefer live resin to traditional types of extracts.<\/span><\/p>\n
