Which concentrate form should I buy?
It honestly depends on how you are using the concentrate. If you plan to use something such as a Yocan pen, a crumble would be the easiest to just drop a chunk in. If you are using a rig, a resin or budder would be easier to put up with the dab tool. Here are the different types of concentrate:
Resin - can range from sticky, sap like consistency to a butter consistency with THCA crystals
Sugar - small THCA crystals ranging from dryer to wetter depending on how much sauce is used
Crumble - crumbly dry wax
Shatter - a piece flat thin hard wax
Budder - soft butter consistency wax
Badder - a thinner batter consistency wax
Sauce - a very thin lower THC, but high terpene sticky wax
Diamonds -almost flavorless THCA extremely potent crystals that turn into THC when heated. Diamonds are usually paired with sauce to add flavor
Sand - almost flavorless extremely potent THCA crystals that is the consistency of sand
