How to identify good crumble?

Please excuse my ignorance, all these solvent concentrates are very new to me. I have done some reading but the answers are all over the place. I'm picking up some crumble today that someone made for me. Is there any way to look at it and tell if its good quality? Should it be light in color? I will not be able to smoke it when I pick it up so I was curious if looks can indicate how good it is? I appreciate any replies. Also what's the best way to store it short term and long term? Thanks.

If it is BHO it should be completely dry if you are after dry crumble wax/honeycomb..It should be stable at room temp and even much warmer. Meaning it will not change form or melt. It will keep it's crumble dry form.
It should have a dank smell like a concentrated smell of the flowers it was made from. It should melt and smoke completely smooth with no snapping, crackling, or harsh tastes or flavors.

Color is a representation of the harvest time of the flowers. Pre mature less potent flowers chopped early will have a clear trichomb and will make clear very pale colored wax, cloudy trichs will give a more yellow tinged wax, amber trichs will give a more orange wax.

Also mis-treated, older crappier material will yield darker, crappier oil concentrates. Different reasons from harvest time affecting the wax color.

Store it in sealed containers in a dark place with no light or you can freeze it in sealed containers.

Very informative. Thanks alot, I think that answers most of my questions. Right now I'm using a glass globe ego pen. What would be the best atomizers to use with dry, stable crumble? I have the atomizers with the ceramic bowl and exposed element. Are the atomizers with the small screens over the top of the element better?

i bought the micro G that has the screen over the atomizer. IT SUCKS!!! i liked the idea of the concept but didn't work well at all. It took forever for the crumble to melt through and actually vape. I bought a thunder dome 5.0 attachment for my micro G and is by far the best atomizer I've used. And i have used lots!!!!!!

a good concentrate should be the epitome of the flowers used to make it
it should smell and taste just like the buds.

a light color is a good sign, you definitely don't want brown or green for bho crumble
(darker colors can be from older material, or from stripping undesirables during extraction)

that being said there are so many variables that come into play in this game, and ultimately comes down to the artist



a tip when picking it up..question the shit out of the person selling!

-ask to see the flowers/trim
(it should smell and taste very similar, if not the same)


-what type of butane
(very important, some brands are packed with oils and smell of rotten eggs)

-how did he purge
(vacuum purge or heat purge)

^ yup...

At the very least, take a flame to a dab to do a melt test.
It should melt with ease when flame is close, and should not leave any residue such as ash or soot. Should melt in silence also.

Check out some different You-Tube videos, concentrate porn..
It shows, displays MANY different crumbles and honeycomb shots, shows a variety of angles, a meltdown shot and a dab shot.

Fuck, I forget the exact phrase to search though..
Somebody help?
Maybe dab tv?
Concentrate review/porn..

Anywho..it's in 1080 hd high quality videos, cool music, very pro..
It will most definitely give you an idea of how good crumble/honeycomb should look.

Just picked it up. Melts very clean, no pop, sizzle, or debris. Blonde in color. Smells exactly like the flowers. Not totally dry, which is good so that I can form small pieces to use on a atomizer. Ill be testing it tonight and tomorrow. Ill try to post some pics so you guys can see what you think about it. Like I said this is very new to me and I value RIU members opinions.

Couple pics. Any opinions and or comments are welcome. Would like a little feedback.image.jpgimage.jpg

Only tried the Cherry Pie so far and it tastes even better than it smells. After the second hit I almost busted a sweat. Not used to this stuff but I like it.

How long can crumble wax be stored for? Can it be frozen? What would be the best way to store it long term? I tried googling but couldn't find any answers. Supposably it degrades fast?

Looks like nice wax, congrats.

I answered your storage question in my above post..."Store it in sealed containers in a dark place with no light or you can freeze it in sealed containers"


I usually don't have wax around long enough after it's made to know exactly how fast it degrades but I've had a little jar of some super dank smelling stuff I made awhile ago in the freezer and it's still super dank smelling. It's been in there probably around 5-6 weeks.

If you have a vac packer then even better I would think.

Thanks. I guess I'll keep it in the little containers in zip locks then put into mason jars, vacuum seal and find a cool, dark place. I appreciate all the help.

All three batches checked out great. I think I've found someone to deal with the rest of my trim, what a relief. I harvested in Oct. and didnt want it to cure too long. Sure have learned a lot since I've visited this section. Lots of good info, thanks.

Smell: The strain grown should smell similar to the extract.
Color: The color of the extract depends on many factors including temperature of extraction, solvent or solventless, method of extraction, and strain.

Having said that....Do not, and I repeat!... Do not judge a wax, crumble, kief, budder, or any concentrate based off any single category but take into account everything! Example...A dark looking wax might get you more high then a shatter <go figure> and you saved some cash. Then the following week, you get some shatter that was in your price range for some excellent flavor. I advise all to mix it up and not obsess on having the "best" which is relative. Cheers everyone.evergreens_big_brother.jpg
