Live Resin vs. Live Rosin: Which Is Better?

As the hemp industry keeps evolving, processors and manufacturers keep coming up with new techniques to give us the best experience possible with our favorite cannabinoids and terpenes.  Right now, it’s all about live resin, a fresher, more terpene-dense type of extract that’s changing the game, when it comes to vape cartridges in particular.  So, how does live resin stand up to live rosin, another unique type of hemp extraction?  Let’s compare.

The Profile on Live Resin

Live resin is a hemp extract made with fresh, flash-frozen plant material as opposed to plant material that’s been dry-cured, which is the more traditional method.  Dry-curing is great for manufacturing flower, but it minimizes the impact of the buds’ sticky resinous trichome glands that contain the beautiful terpenes and flavonoids that give each strain its distinctive flavor profile and effects. 

Live resin is basically a fresher, more potent type of extract that is darker in color and thicker in consistency, speaking for itself when it comes to just how concentrated it is.  Most commonly used in vape oils since its powerfully flavorful and syrupy nature is very vape-friendly.

How It’s Made

To produce live resin, first the plant material that was cultivated must get dipped into a flash-freezing agent like liquid nitrogen.  This maintains the integrity of the terpenes and flavonoids in the trichomes perfectly, preserving them so that when you taste them, it’s like the plant was picked yesterday.  From there, the manufacturer can employ standard extraction processes, knowing that they’re going to yield a far more compound-rich extract.

Pros:

• Live resin has a stronger and fresher flavor because it has a higher concentration of terpenes, and the terpenes are preserved when fresh rather than dried.
• Live resin aids in the entourage effect by working synergistically with. cannabinoids in a more powerful way, for a stronger overall experience.
• Live resin offers thicker cloud production because the extract itself has a higher viscosity level.
• Live resin lets you enjoy a strain as nature intended since the secondary compounds are more potent and diverse.

Cons:

• Live resin is more concentrated, so it might be a little bit harsher on the throat.
• You may get more clogs in your vape cartridge if you allow your vaping system to get exposed to those cold conditions for too long. 

The Profile on Live Rosin 

Then we have live rosin, which sounds almost identical to live resin, but is in fact quite a different type of hemp product entirely.  Live rosin is a type of concentrate, commonly used for dabbing.  Live resin is a liquid, making it easy to add to a vape oil, but live rosin is a thicker, more concentrated substance that’s almost a solid.  This means that you can’t just put live rosin in a vape cart, as it’s only really compatible with dabbing setups.

That being said, if you are someone who dabs, then live rosin is a great option.  Its claim to fame is that it’s one of the few types of concentrates that’s made without solvents, meaning that it’s produced purely from hemp with no added ingredients involved at any point during the process.

How It’s Made

Live rosin, like live resin, is made from flash-frozen, fresh plant material rather than material that’s dry-cured.  That’s what makes live rosin unique from standard rosin.  Both types of rosin are produced by squeezing flower, kief or hash while applying heat, which concentrates the desirable compounds down, while the plant’s sticky trichomes help it form into a resin-like substance, almost like tree sap, but closer to a solid than a liquid.  This process allows a far more potent type of hemp experience since each compound is extremely concentrated.  Live rosin comes with all of the same advantages over standard rosin that live resin has over traditional extracts.

Pros:

• Live rosin is a type of concentrate, which is great for those who like to dab
• Live rosin is extremely potent – more potent than a standard vape cartridge
• Live rosin is a solventless type of concentrate, which makes it “cleaner” than other types of dabs
• Live rosin is fresh and flavorful, with a higher terpene and flavonoid concentration due to the use of fresh, flash-frozen flower

Cons:

• Live rosin is not for traditional types of vaping, since it’s too thick to fit into a cartridge
