One day shatter doesn\u2019t matter, then if it\u2019s not shatter it doesn\u2019t matter.

Please write that down, tattoo it on the back of your hand \u2014 whatever it takes.<\/p>\n<p>Nucleation is a basic chemical process; you can see it at work if you\u2019ve got an old chocolate bar. You know the one: There\u2019s a patina of white powder over the bar, and instead of a smooth consistency, it\u2019s a crumbly mess. This is the result of nucleation \u2014\u00a0solid and liquid ingredients in a suspension or emulsification that have separated.<\/p>\n<p>In the case of the chocolate bar, you\u2019ve basically got some ruined candy. With BHO, a lot of dabbers feel like you have a terpier, more flavorful product. Maybe, but you shouldn\u2019t pay extra for something Father Time will do for free if you purchase regular shatter. It never ceases to amaze (and lightweight disgust) me when a dude who was shaving $10 of the per-gram cost of shatter because it \u201cbuttered up\u201d a year or two ago asks for an extra $15 per-gram this year because it \u201csugared up.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>How Sauce Is Made: What is Diamond Mining?<\/h4>\n<p>Most importantly, nucleated shatter simply isn\u2019t sauce \u2014 that\u2019s the result of fractional distillation, or as Will X of Terp Boys likes to call it, \u201cdiamond mining.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cannabisnow.com\/terp-boys-shattering-ceilings\/\">Terp Boys<\/a>, which has already made a major impact in the shatter sector of the BHO market, is just starting to branch out into this new technology after seeing demand for terp sauce increase over the last year, with a marked spike in the last six months or so.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter the solvent runs through the machine, it\u2019s basically just a different purge,\u201d said Will X. \u201cWith the diamond mining, instead of putting it in the oven right away, you\u2019re collecting it and putting it in a cool, dark place for however long \u2014 usually a couple of weeks at least.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While the concentrates are resting, \u201cthat\u2019s when the separation occurs and the diamonds stack,\u201d said Will X. \u201cThen, we pour the liquid terps off [the diamonds] after the separation has occurred, and then we purge separately.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\">\n<div style=\"padding: 8px\">\n<div style=\"background: #F8F8F8;line-height: 0;margin-top: 40px;padding: 62.5% 0;text-align: center;width: 100%\" \/>\n<p style=\"margin: 8px 0 0 0;padding: 0 4px\"><a style=\"color: #000;font-family: Arial,sans-serif;font-size: 14px;font-style: normal;font-weight: normal;line-height: 17px;text-decoration: none\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BbLEtakDMw8\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Don\u2019t sleep fam!!
