Shatter is a stable, glass-like extract made from dried cannabis — it's potent and easy to handle. Live resin is extracted from fresh-frozen flower, preserving more terpenes for a fuller flavour and aroma profile.
Keep concentrates in a cool, dark place in silicone or glass containers. Avoid heat and direct sunlight, which can degrade potency and terpenes. Refrigeration works well for long-term storage.
For shatter and live resin, you'll need a dab rig or e-nail with a banger or nail. For vape cartridges, a standard 510-thread battery is all you need. Beginners often start with a simple dab pen for convenience.
