What is THC Badder?

Say goodbye to grinding your flower, cannabis concentrates are the new way forward and you may ask, what is THC Badder? Smoking a joint will of course always have a special place in our hearts, but for higher potencies, robust flavors, and a range of uses, we have our eyes on the best concentrates 2023 has to offer. They offer an entirely different experience from traditional weed smoking, and thanks to the incredible innovations of late, have new flavor profiles and consumption methods, so you have more freedom to tailor your high.

Is badder a word you’ve heard tossed around the cannabis industry? Or maybe batter? It can get confusing with so many names of concentrates on the market, but these words are used interchangeably. To clear things up, let’s dig into what this cannabis concentrate is and how it differs from others.

What is Badder?

Badder is a cannabis concentrate, named for its consistency that resembles cake batter; creamy, a little oily, and slightly lumpy. One of the stellar qualities in concentrates is the high THC content, which is the active ingredient in cannabis that creates the “high” feeling you get. Badder contains around 80% to 90% potency, giving it much stronger effects than your average marijuana buds.

Weed badder is available in a range of colors, from light blond to dark, brownish-green, depending on the strain and process used to make it. One of cannabis users’ favorite aspects of this concentrate is that it maintains many of its terpenes, giving it a premium taste. You can also buy badder in any strain (sativa, indica, or hybrid) and nearly any flavor (like cherry, berry, or mint).

What’s the Difference Between Concentrates?

With cannabis concentrates available in so many forms, understanding the distinctions between badder and others, as well as why badder consistently ranks so highly, will help you make an informed decision about which product is right for you.

Badder vs budder

There’s very little difference between badder and budder, as they both hold similar potencies and can be used in the same ways. The main contrast between the two concentrates is their texture; where badder has the consistency of cake batter, budder has been described as feeling like butter or frosting, and it’s a little more waxy and solid than badder. Otherwise, they can be used pretty interchangeably.

Badder vs crumble

Again, these two concentrates are very similar with the only major variation being in their consistencies. So far, you can tell that most cannabis concentrates are very aptly named.  Crumble has a much lower moisture content, and does as advertised: it crumbles. Different manufacturing processes lead to changes in density and viscosity, so crumble is left with a drier texture that’s more prone to falling apart.

Badder vs shatter

If you begin the process of making badder, but instead of agitating and whipping it, you were to let it settle, it would harden and become what we know as shatter. They’re very similar in every way except their consistency, as shatter takes on the appearance of glass or hard candy and is easily breakable.

Badder vs cannabutter

It’s important not to get these two products mixed up because they’re very different from one another. Badder is a cannabis concentrate consumed by inhaling the heated vapor, whereas cannabutter is an ingredient used to make edibles. Cannabutter is made by decarboxylating weed, breaking it down, and infusing it into cooking butter, then adding it into recipes.

How do you use badder?

The brilliant thing about badder weed is that there are several ways you can consume it. Trying an array of variations and techniques allows you to experience the concentrate the way you like best.

Dab

Dabbing is the most popular way to consume badder. All you need is a dab rig, a torch, and a dab tool. It’s as simple as heating the nail of your dab rig, placing the badder onto the nail, and inhaling through the mouthpiece. It’s important to get the temperature right when using this method, as you risk burning off the terpenes at higher temperatures. At lower temperatures, your badder won’t vaporize.

Vape

Using a vaporizer to consume badder is an easy, low-key method. Beginning with a clean, cooled vaporizer, fill it with your badder and set it to your desired temperature (usually around 300 degrees Fahrenheit). Once it begins to vaporize, all you need to do is pull on the mouthpiece. There’s a range of vaporizers you can use, but always be sure to select a device intended for thick concentrates like badder.

Top Your Flower

If you’re a fan of smoking weed the classic way, either with a joint or through a bong or pipe, this is a great way to introduce yourself to badder. You only need your badder, a dab tool, and your usual smoking supplies. Set yourself like you usually would, filling your joint with ground flower or filling your bowl. Then, using your dab tool, break some small pieces of your badder up and sprinkle it over your flower. Be careful not to add too much, as it will take longer to burn and it’ll be much more potent than you may be used to.

Pipes

You don’t need to invest in a dab rig if you want to try badder. It takes more time and patience than using a rig because of the heat needed to melt down the concentrate, but can be a great starting point if you have a water or hand pipe. Simply place some badder into your bowl and light it, then inhale once it vaporizes. 

How Do You Store Badder?

If you want the flavor profile and potencies to last, it’s crucial you store your badder properly. Keep it out of direct light and away from heat, ideally in an airtight container. Keep it in the back of a drawer, cabinet, or another cool, shady spot — just don’t confuse it for food or another cooking ingredient.
