Oil Day is here, and we’re ready to roll out the green carpet for our concentrate fans across Northern Michigan. At Dunegrass, we believe there’s no better way to mark 7/10 than with good deals, great people, and your favorite extracts stocked and ready for your next adventure Up North.
In this blog, we’re here to help you celebrate 7/10 the Northern Michigan way: relaxed, elevated, and a little wild.
What Is 7/10?
Flip “710†upside down and you’ll see “OIL,†the star of the show. This holiday is dedicated to all things concentrates: wax, shatter, live resin, diamonds, and sauce. If it’s sticky and potent, it’s fair game.
7/10 is a chance for our Dunegrass crew and community to celebrate the craft behind extracts and shine a light on the terpene-rich, locally sourced products that keep Northern Michigan lifted.
So grab your favorite dab rig or cart, and let’s toast to tasty terps and smooth hits all day long.
Concentrates 101
Types of Concentrates
Concentrates come in all shapes and consistencies. Here’s a quick breakdown of some of the most popular concentrate types you’ll find:
- Shatter: Glassy, brittle, and breaks clean. Perfect for a classic dab.
- Wax/Badder/Budder: Soft, creamy, and easy to handle with a dab tool.
- Live Resin: Made from fresh-frozen flower to lock in maximum flavor and terpene goodness.
- Diamonds & Sauce: Potent THC crystals swimming in rich terp sauce for a serious punch.
- Rosin: Solventless, made with heat and pressure for a pure, flavorful hit.
- Crumble: Dry, crumbly texture. Great for sprinkling on bowls or adding to joints.
How to Consume Concentrates
You don’t need to be a dab wizard to get started. The classic route is a dab rig with a torch and nail. You heat the nail, drop the concentrate, inhale, and enjoy. E-rigs make things easier with precise temps and no open flame. If you prefer a no-fuss option, grab a vape cart or disposable and keep it simple.
For flower lovers, try an infused pre-roll for a little extra kick.
Tips for Beginners
New to the world of dabs? Start small, and we mean small. Concentrates are strong. Learn your tools, check the label for potency, and keep some water nearby. Take a beat between hits and see how you feel.
And if you’re not sure what to pick, our Dunegrass budtenders are always ready to help you find your perfect match.
Why Concentrates Are Worth Exploring
Concentrates are like hidden trails. Once you find them, you’ll wonder why you didn’t venture there sooner. They pack serious potency into a tiny dab, deliver flavors that flower alone can’t always hit, and offer a cleaner, more efficient way to enjoy the plant.
For seasoned smokers, concentrates are a way to dial things up a notch. For medical patients, they can mean faster relief with less product. And for flavor chasers, the terpene profiles are next-level.
If you’re curious about stepping beyond flower, concentrates open up a whole new way to experience Northern Michigan’s best cannabis.
How to Choose the Right Concentrate For You
Picking the right concentrate is all about matching your vibe to your goals. Want big flavor? Reach for live resin or diamonds & sauce. Those terp-rich options really show off what the plant can do. Prefer something classic and straightforward? Shatter or wax are great starter picks.
Think about how you want to consume, too: dab rigs and e-rigs deliver full flavor and big clouds, but carts and disposables keep it simple and portable.
(And don’t forget potency! Concentrates hit harder than flower, so check the label and ease in if you’re new.)
Concentrates & Terpenes: Why Flavor Matters
Flavor is the secret sauce behind your whole experience. Concentrates are packed with terpenes, the aromatic compounds that give cannabis its signature smell and help steer its effects. A good concentrate preserves these terpenes so you get more than just potency; you get a true-to-the-plant flavor that flower lovers can’t get enough of.
Love citrusy, energizing strains? Limonene-rich live resin might be your jam. Craving something earthy and chill? Myrcene-forward wax could be perfect. Exploring different terp profiles helps you figure out what lifts you up, winds you down, or sparks your creativity.
So take your time, trust your nose, and don’t be shy about asking your budtender for a sniff test. At Dunegrass, we think the best sesh starts with good terps and ends with a flavor you can’t wait to come back to.
