![]() A complete purge lasts anywhere from eight to 24 hours. Temperatures range between 85-100 degrees Fahrenheit (29.44-37.77 degrees Celsius) with a pressure of -29 inches of mercury (inHg). The ultra-low temperatures and pressure utilized during a shatter purge are what give shatter its signature glass-like appearance. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is more often used for other cannabis concentrates, as CO2 removes moisture from the plant matter and causes shatter to lose its characteristic texture. Following this, any unwanted plant materials are removed using a solvent-induced vacuum purge.Įxtractors use a variety of solvents and processes to create shatter, the most common of which is butane hash oil (BHO) extraction. During production, the desired cannabinoids are separated from raw cannabis through a process that includes heat and compression. Shatter can be created from almost any cannabis material, from flower to trim. Chill the solvent tank to recapture and condense the solvent vapors.Remove the solvent from the solution via vaporization by using heat.Slowly pass the solvent over the cannabis material to release the trichomes.Pack the material into the material column, a tank inside the closed-loop system that is dedicated to holding the nugs or trim throughout the process.Select a starting cannabis material(s).Extractors typically make shatter through the following steps: ![]() The method for producing shatter is very similar to most other concentrates - the main difference lies in the post-extraction process. Shatter had established itself as a staple in the cannabis community. In 2005, the techniques for producing shatter and budder appeared in Cannabis Culture magazine. ![]() In the late 1990s, Canadian cannabis manufacturer BudderKing first released budder and shatter, with products hitting dispensary shelves a few years later in 2003. Conversely, THCA is solid at room temperature, making it easier to snap apart.Īlthough shatter is a relatively recent development in the realm of cannabis consumption, since it's a form of butane hash oil, its roots stretch back to the ancient practice of hashish production. ![]() This is because THC is a sappy oil at room temperature, which gives products containing higher levels of THC a gooey texture. Shatter with higher levels of THC tends to be sappier than its precursor tetrahydrocannabinolic acid ( THCA), which is much more brittle. This range of textures provides some clues as to each product's cannabinoid profile. Some is extremely brittle, while others have a taffy-esque pull-and-snap consistency. While shatter may seem consistent visually, the physical texture of shatter varies from product to product. ![]()
