I found a page for Memmy on Open Collective, but I’m not sure if it’s legitimate. Would love to hear from @gkd@lemmy.ml if this is a viable way to support the work!
I also wanted to offer some ways to support the instances who are running things, at least the ones I use ;)

Great question. In the process of making rosin, first you create Ice Water Hash to separate the trichome gland heads. Then there are typically 2 ways to process this Ice Water Hash:
- Fresh press: The gland heads are put into a mesh pouch and then squeezed at high pressures and low heats. People will consume this fresh press without further processing.
- Cold cure: Cold Cure rosin is fresh press that has been cured and whipped into a badder-y consistency.
You used the term “live resin” which is in a different realm than rosin. Resin = made with solvents. Rosin = solventless
- Distillate: While typically the most potent and used in vape carts, I’d generally say anything with distillate will be the least representative of the original material used (no taste), and something I try to avoid. Distillate = headaches, for me.
- Live / Cured Resin: Resin is extracted with solvents, and retains more of the plant’s profile of terpenes and flavonoids. A great budget concentrate option. This is typically where you’ll find shatters, waxes, budders/badders, crumble, sugar, etc.
- Live / Cured Rosin: Then we have Rosin which is extracted in a solventless method, and to me, is the best concentrate available. Full of flavor and character that is representative of the original plant/strain used. I’ve seen rosin come in shatter (fresh press), sauce, and badder-y variants.
A lot of great responses here already. I wanted to offer a few thoughts.
What does quality mean to you when it comes to concentrates? For me, I search for solventless rosins that try to capture the flavor and essence of the strain/plant being used.
Concentrate quality is typically determined by:
- Input material - What did they use to make the concentrate? Cured nugs, trim, whole plants? As they say, “Fire in = fire out”
- Extraction method - Do they use some type of solvent (e.g. butane) to create the concentrate? Or is it solventless, and maybe created via ice water hash or press methods.
Comparing outputs:
- Distillate: While typically the most potent and used in vape carts, I’d generally say anything with distillate will be the least representative of the original material used (no taste), and something I try to avoid. Distillate = headaches, for me.
- Live / Cured Resin: Resin is extracted with solvents, and retains more of the plant’s profile of terpenes and flavonoids. A great budget concentrate option. This is typically where you’ll find shatters, waxes, budders/badders, crumble, sugar, etc.
- Live / Cured Rosin: Then we have Live Rosin which is extracted in a solventless method, and to me, is the best concentrate available. Full of flavor and character that is representative of the original plant/strain used. I’ve seen rosin come in shatter (fresh press), sauce, and badder-y variants.
EDIT: Also if texture can be an issue, I know people who swear by the Hot Knife by Puffco: https://www.puffco.com/products/the-puffco-hot-knife
This is your standard Five Finger Nug Punch packaging. In all seriousness if this post is satire, well done, it made me laugh really hard.
If this post is not satire, oh boy, please don’t smoke that.
Did I miss something? Did this already happen? I can’t seem to access the piracy community from lemmy.world, I’m getting a “couldnt_find_community” error
