Why Cannabis Consumers are Enthralled with Distillate Darts
COVID-19 has been quite an unfortunate event for the global economy. However, the cannabis industry has continued to prosper. Moreover, cannabis consumers are becoming more conscious of the multitude of mediums available for ingesting cannabis. One of the buzzwords this season is distillate darts. Let's take a look at just exactly what distillates and distillate darts are.
What are Distillates?
Distillates are a drippy and translucent cannabis oil that has been stripped of the waxes as well as unwanted compounds from the original cannabis plant. During this year, distillates have become more desirable due to their potency as well as versatility. Distillates can be used for dabbing, inserted in vaporizers, and even used as a psychoactive (or non-psychoactive a la CBD distillate) ingredient in edibles and topicals, among other products. Distillate concentrates are crafted through a comprehensive refinement process that centrifuges compounds such as cannabinoids and terpenes from the mundane cannabis plant matter. Now that distillates have been explained, let's take a look at understanding why cannabis consumers love distillate darts.
Benefits of Distillate Darts
Consumers are drawn to distillate darts thanks to a handful of appealing benefits. As aforementioned, distillate darts contain cartridges that have been stripped of all of the impurities associated with cannabis plant matter. This means that consumers can have a cannabis experience that is virtually as natural and organic can get. Moreover, the temperate control of distillate darts works in a fashion similar to vaporizers. Since every cannabinoid has a different vaporizing point, the temperature of distillate darts can be fine-tuned to ensure that the consumer receives the tailor-made cannabinoid. This type of craft cannabis experience combined with the sleek appeal and potency of distillates make darts all the rage!
Understanding the Potency of Distillates
The potency of distillates can vary from low levels to ranges that are out of this world. Whether or not a distillate gets you 'medicated' ultimately depends on the exact cannabinoid you choose to consume. The main benefit associated with distillates is its ability to hone in on one specific cannabinoid, such as the commonly-known psychoactive THC, the non-psychoactive medicinal favorite CBD, or even some of the lesser-known cannabinoids such as CBG, CBN, THCV, and others. This process will produce a final refined product that is ridiculously potent. For example, if you are ingesting a distillate of THC, then chances are you will get extremely high, as the resulting distillate will be virtually pure THC. Conversely, if a patient consumes a distillate comprised mainly of CBD, patients can expect to receive the therapeutic and medicinal effects often associated with CBD. Remember: CBD is non-psychoactive, so even at pure distillate levels, CBD will not get consumers 'high.'
Exploring Distillate Darts
In the modern cannabis market, consumers can easily obtain reusable and one-time use vape pens that contain pure distillate oil of your chosen cannabinoid. These products, which have become to be known as 'distillate darts,' contain a cartridge filled with THC (or your chosen cannabinoid) distillate, a heating core, as well as a battery that powers the heating mechanism. Like any vape pen, the heating core vaporizes the oil inside the cartridge, and the vapor is then ingested via the vaporizer mouthpiece. These devices tend to be very strong due to distillate darts containing such a potent form of the chosen cannabinoid.
Distinguishing the Difference between Distillates and Oil
Distillates are one of the most commonly made forms of cannabis oil. More often than not, this type of cannabis oil has been praised by cannabis consumers for its extremely high levels of potency. Additionally, since the cannabis plant has been stripped of almost everything other than the chosen cannabinoids, the end product is extremely versatile. These distillates are capable of being consumed on their lonesome or in conjunction with a variety of other cannabis products, including distillate darts (see below.)
One rule of thumb to remember when distinguishing the difference between distillates and other forms of cannabis oil is this: even though all distillates are oils, not all cannabis oils are distillates. Cannabis oil is only a distillate if AND when all other materials, plant matter, and compounds, including the aroma-packed terpenes, have been systematically removed. There is a slew of other types of cannabis oils available on the market that have not undergone that process. Therefore, they are not true distillates.
