What is Refined Live Resin Cartridge?

With so many smokable options out there, understanding everything that goes into each cannabis product can feel as though it requires years of research. While exploring the wide world of cannabis, you’ve probably come across refined live resin cartridges and wondered what exactly these are.

A refined live resin cartridge is a high-quality, vapor-ready cannabis concentrate that can be used in almost any vaporizer. It's made from fresh, organically grown cannabis that has been carefully extracted under the highest standards of purity and quality. But what exactly does this mean? 

What is Live Resin?

Live resin is a form of cannabis product that results from curing buds with a carbon dioxide (CO2) extraction process. The CO2 extraction process leaves behind a resin-like substance that can then be used to make concentrates, including the live resin.

Live resin is usually made using fresh buds (as opposed to cured buds), which gives it a high terpene content and makes the final product taste and smell incredible. While most live resins are made with outdoor-grown cannabis, indoor-grown cannabis can also be used for this process.

There are several different ways you can extract your live resins. Still, the most common method involves using an extraction machine that heats the plant matter at low temperatures so as not to burn it or vaporize any cannabinoids or terpenes which are responsible for giving the bud its aroma and flavor.

What Does Live Resin Mean?

Live resin is a cannabis concentrate that has been extracted from freshly harvested cannabis flowers and leaves – as opposed to cured cannabis. This type of cannabis extract is made by freezing fresh, uncured cannabis flower. The process of making live resin is very similar to that of rosin, with the main difference being that live resin is made using fresh cannabis instead of dry flower.

The live resin process involves taking fresh cannabis flowers and placing them in a vacuum chamber. The chamber is then sealed off and heated to the point where the plant matter releases its terpenes and cannabinoids.

Next, those components of the plant are captured by a filter and condenses them into liquid form, which can then be extracted with ethanol or other solvents like butane or CO2.

This condensed liquid contains all essential oils that would normally be lost when in the curing process after harvest. Live resin aims to maintain high levels of terpenes which preserve the intense flavors and aromas of the cannabis plant.

What Does Refined Live Resin Mean?

Refined live resin is a form of cannabis concentrate that has been processed to remove impurities and improve its appearance. It is made by extracting trichomes from the plant, then filtering out any remaining plant matter. The result is a clear, golden product with a higher concentration of cannabinoids than other concentrates.

It’s a thick, sticky, dense liquid that contains high concentrations of cannabinoids such as THC, CBD, and CBN. Refined live resin is often used to make edibles and dabs because it has a high terpene content, which are naturally occurring compounds found in plants and fruits that give them their distinctive scents. They are also believed to have medicinal properties.

What is a Refined Live Resin Cartridge?

A refined live resin cartridge is a concentrated cartridge for vape pens. Live resin is a sticky concentrate made from fresh, frozen cannabis. It's usually extracted using carbon dioxide.

These compounds quickly evaporate when exposed to heat and pressure, so they can be used to extract oils without leaving much residue behind. The resulting concentrate is then filtered and cured before being packaged into cartridges for use in vape pens.

What Does Live Resin Vape Mean?

A live resin cart is a portable vaporizer that can be used to smoke live resin. The device has a heating element that's used to heat the extract and turn it into vapor. It's also called a "vape pen" because of its size and look and because it's used in conjunction with an electronic cigarette or vape mod (which is another way to say "modification").

What Does a Live Resin Cart Mean?

When using the vape pen, you'll fill the cartridge with concentrate, then screw it onto your mod. You'll press down on the button on your mod to heat the coil inside the cartridge, which turns your concentrate into vapor. Then you inhale through the mouthpiece on top of your mod like any other e-cigarette or vape pen.

You may also find prefilled cartridges. The cartridges smoked in a live resin vape are similar to other vape pen cartridges, but the resin inside is often more flavorful and aromatic. It is called live resin because it still contains all its original terpenes, which give this resin its unique flavor profile and aroma.

Refined Resin Benefits

 There are several benefits to using refined live resin over other types of cannabis concentrates:

• It’s easier to handle

The resin is drier and cleaner, so it is easier to handle without losing potency or contaminating it with unwanted material like plant matter or other non-cannabinoid compounds from the plant itself. It’s also easier to melt down into hash oil when you want to use it in edibles or topicals.

• Refined live resin is concentrated

The biggest benefit of refined live resin is that it is extremely concentrated. This means that you can use less of it to get more potent effects than regular flower or hash oil.

• Refined Live Resin Is Cleaner Than Other Cannabis Products

The process used to create refined live resin allows it to be completely solvent-free, making it much safer than other concentrate forms. It also means that there are no residual solvents left behind after processing, so you won't have to worry about any harmful chemicals being absorbed into your body through inhalation or ingestion.

• Easy to dose and control dosage with edibles

Because the refined live resin is a pure extract of the active components of cannabis, it’s also easier to control and measure dosage than it would be with flower, which can have varying concentrations of cannabinoids.

• More Terpenes

The process used to make refined live resin allows the concentrate to retain most of its terpene content, making it much more flavorful than other concentrates like shatter or wax.

• Refined live resin offers an aromatic, flavorful, and potent experience

The refining process also removes many of the impurities found in cannabis, which can sometimes make the taste unpleasant. This makes refined live resin an excellent option for those who want something that tastes good.
