are all concentrates pretty much equal? (lemm.ee)

I started my exploration with concentrates about a year ago. I got myself a puffco peak pro. I've tried all kinds of different concentrates, but not all of them. I'm wondering if concentrates are concentrates or are there some that are better than others or is it purely personal?

I like sugar wax as its easy to handle and isn't messy. I like wet diamonds. Again easy to handle and might have felt more potent. Dry diamonds were weird and hard to handle, not sure I was a fan. Lastly, budder or batter type, I hate this one. Its so hard to handle and gets way too messy. Have been wanting to try crumble, never had much interest in shatter, idk if I'm missing any.

Would love to hear your thoughts! Thanks

Wow thanks again! So I've found sources with what I think to be good quality diamonds and sugar, there is almost never any left behind. Right now I'm on the badder and as expressed, I'm not a fan lol. But the discrepancies in some of the prices are insane. I usually find stuff in the $50-$75 range for 5 grams even up to half oz sometimes. I outta try some crumble and shatter I think. Those might be the only ones ive not tried

Oh for sure they produce way less chazz, just after a week you'll inevitably still have some. Compared to most other concentrates though where it'll be a day or few.

Yeah badder is ok but nothing special. If you're used to higher quality stuff then it'll definitely feel like crap in comparison haha! Crumble is around the same level, tiny bit higher quality but not necessarily always the case. It's mostly just drier and true to the name.

Shatter can be nicer than both but it doesn't mean it will be lol. Also all shatter kinda tastes similar IMO but it's still a nice flavor. Worth trying at least ;)

Just to throw this out there - I've actually found the best concentrates to be in batters/butters & saucier consistencies. They can be more of a pain to deal with if they're too saucy but in general the best flavors tend to follow this rule. For me, shatter and crumble are a pain in the ass to work with (for a few reasons) and rarely have much flavor by comparison.

Also on the topic of chaz - I've never experienced more chaz between any of the consistencies, only between higher and lower quality dabs. But I also dab fairly low temp so maybe that's why? The only exception I've found to that is cheap rosin - I'm guessing because the process of pressing lower grade hash leaves behind more actual plant material, lipids, etc.
