What is Crumble Concentrate, Anyway?

Crumble, also known as crumble wax or honeycomb wax, is a cannabis extract known for its high potency and distinct, crumbly texture. Unlike shatter (which is glassy) or budder (which is creamy), crumble has a dry, brittle consistency that easily breaks apart when handled. This unique form is the result of its specific post-extraction process, which involves whipping the extract under low heat to purge solvents and moisture, creating a final product that is opaque, airy, and potent.

The key characteristics of THC crumble include:

• High Potency: Crumble regularly tests between 60% and 90% THC, making it significantly stronger than even the most potent cannabis flower. A little goes a long way!
• Rich Flavor Profile: The low-heat purging process is excellent at preserving the natural terpenes of the cannabis plant, resulting in a product that is bursting with flavor and aroma.
• Unique Texture: Its signature crumbly, honeycomb-like consistency makes it easy to handle and portion out for dabs.

How to Smoke Crumble: The Top 3 Methods

So, you’ve just received your crumble dabs delivery from MetroBud. What’s next? Here are the most popular and effective ways to consume this powerful concentrate.

1. Dabbing with a Rig (The Connoisseur’s Choice)

Dabbing is the most common and efficient method for consuming concentrates like crumble. It involves flash-vaporizing the extract on a heated surface. While it requires specific equipment (a dab rig), it provides the purest flavor and most immediate effects.

How to dab crumble:

1. Heat the Nail: Use a butane torch to heat the quartz or titanium nail of your dab rig until it’s red hot.
2. Let it Cool: This is a crucial step. Let the nail cool for 30-60 seconds. Dabbing at too high a temperature will scorch the terpenes and ruin the flavor.
3. Apply the Crumble: Use a dab tool to scoop a small amount of crumble and apply it directly to the inside of the heated nail.
4. Inhale and Enjoy: As the crumble vaporizes, inhale the vapor through the mouthpiece of the rig. Always start with a very small dab until you know your tolerance.

2. Using a Wax Pen or Vaporizer

For those seeking portability and discretion, a wax pen (or dab pen) is the perfect solution. These electronic devices are essentially portable dab rigs, allowing you to enjoy your crumble on the go without the need for a torch.

How to use a wax pen:

• Carefully load a small, rice-grain-sized piece of crumble concentrate onto the coils or into the heating chamber of the pen.
• Reassemble the pen, turn it on, and use the preheat function if available.
• Press the button and inhale slowly and steadily from the mouthpiece.

3. Topping Off a Bowl or Joint (The Easiest Method)

If you don’t have a dab rig or wax pen, you can still enjoy crumble by adding it to your flower. This method, sometimes called “twinning,” is a fantastic way to supercharge your joint or bowl.

Can you put crumble in a joint? Absolutely! Here’s how:

• For a Joint: Simply sprinkle a small amount of finely broken-up crumble over your ground flower before you roll it up. Try to distribute it evenly to ensure a smooth burn.
• For a Bowl: Pack your bowl with flower as you normally would, then “top it off” by placing a few small pieces of crumble on top. When you light it, the flame will melt the crumble into the flower below, enhancing the potency and flavor of every hit.
