What is Rosin? Beginner's Guide to Solventless Concentrates

The cannabis experts at PotCo are committed to providing Colorado residents and visitors with top-quality medical and recreational products. Our cultivation facility produces dozens of strains, and our premium house-branded flower, gummies, and concentrates are wallet-friendly.

We also believe in helping our customers get the most value from every purchase. If you enjoy using PotCo flower or kief to make tinctures or edibles, you might be curious about hash rosin.

We’re here to go over what this highly potent cannabis concentrate is and where you can find other high-quality solventless rosin products in Denver.

What Is Rosin and Why Are Solventless Concentrates Popular?

Rosin is a thick, sticky substance made by applying heat and pressure to bud, hash, or kief. Heating the plant’s trichomes melts the cannabinoid and terpene-rich resinous sap. Applying pressure liberates the melted resin from the plant matter. In other words, rosin extraction is solvent-free. Solventless concentrates are becoming more popular because they offer a purer and more natural product. Solventless extraction methods preserve the plant’s natural terpenes, resulting in a product that retains the original flavor and aroma profiles of the cannabis strain.

Rosin Vs Live Resin: How They Compare

Solventless extraction ensures you’re getting a cleaner, more natural product. Rosin is firmer than resin and retains the nuanced flavors delivered by the unique terpene profiles of each cannabis strain. Products made with rosin do tend to cost a bit more than resin, however, because solventless extraction methods are more labor-intensive and best suited to small-batch production.

Live resin, on the other hand, is similar to rosin in form and function but obtained through the use of supercritical CO2, ethanol, butane, or propane – chemical solvents with the potential to leave impurities behind. Although solvent-based extraction is more efficient, manufacturers need specialized equipment and training to ensure workplace safety, effective solvent recovery, and regulatory compliance.

Exploring the Solventless Rosin Products Available at PotCo Dispensary

Products made with resin tend to have more THC than similar options made with rosin. With that said, many consumers feel the differences in potency are negligible. Medical and recreational consumers visiting PotCo appreciate having multiple ways to experience the natural goodness of solventless rosin.

Of course, the knowledgeable PotCo Dispensary staff is happy to answer any questions you have about making or enjoying rosin when you visit our dispensary. Until then, consider taking a few minutes to determine which products on our menu you find the most appealing.

Rosin & Live Rosin Concentrates

Rosin is traditionally extracted from dried, cured cannabis. Live rosin, on the other hand, is made from flower that’s flash frozen immediately after harvest. The frozen bud is used to make ice-water hash, then extracted. Hash rosin and live rosin concentrates can be used to increase the potency of pre-rolls and flower or transformed into thick plumes of vapor using a dab rig or battery-operated dabbing device.

Rosin Gummies & Syrups

Rosin gummies and syrups are available in a wide range of enticing flavors. Although the THC in gummies, syrups, and other edibles won’t hit as efficiently as smoking or vaping, most cannabis consumers find the overall effects stronger and longer lasting. At PotCo, you’ll find an impressive assortment of rosin gummies and syrups made by top-tier brands, including Dialed In and Good Trees.

Live Rosin Vape Carts & Disposables

Vaping gives consumers the rapid onset of inhaling THC without the combustion. Some medical and recreational consumers prefer the convenience of our disposable rosin vape pens; others prefer securing their rosin carts to a rechargeable battery. In addition to PotCo-branded rosin disposables, you’ll also find a selection of pre-filled, 510-threaded carts from Green Dot Labs.

Visit Denver’s Preferred Source of Premium Rosin at PotCo Dispensary

Rosin concentrates, edibles, and vapes are made from solventless extracts. Although extracting rosin at home is relatively simple and rewarding, you can expect to get about 5% of your weed back as rosin using a flat iron. A rosin press produces a better yield but is unlikely to deliver the exceptional quality you’ll get when choosing products made by an extraction specialist.

At PotCo, we’re known for our exceptionally priced premium quality hash rosin and for providing a truly customized shopping experience. If you have questions about rosin we haven’t covered, call (720) 794-9354 or contact us online.

When you’re pressed for time, consider ordering online for in-store pickup.
