The purest form of hash, made without heat and graded by how cleanly it melts.

Melt is a high-quality form of bubble hash made by gently washing cannabis flower in ice water to separate the trichome heads — the part of the plant that contains most of its cannabinoids and terpenes. Once the trichomes are collected, they’re dried (either by air dry or freeze dry) and then graded on a 1–6 star scale, based on how cleanly the hash melts when dabbed:

• 1–4 star melt is simply called melt. It still bubbles and vaporizes, lower scores will leave behind some plant material or char.
• 5–6 star melt is known as full melt. This is the cleanest grade available — it bubbles, melts into oil, and leaves little to no residue behind.

It’s called “melt” because at the higher end of the scale, it melts away completely instead of burning or leaving plant material, a sign of purity and quality. Unlike rosin, which is pressed using heat and pressure, melt is untouched trichome heads in their raw form. No solvents. No pressing. Just cold water, mesh bags, and masterful handling.

When melt is at its freshest and best preserved, it has a dry, grainy texture — similar to fine beach sand. This sandy form is ideal because it keeps the trichome heads separate and intact. However, when exposed to warmth or body heat, melt can gum up, grease out, or clump together. While this change in texture doesn’t affect the potency or chemical quality, it can impact its visual appeal and resale value. Because of its extreme temperature sensitivity, transporting melt in sandy form is very difficult. Products that arrive in true granular form have typically been handled with greater care and cold-chain logistics — which is why properly transported melt often commands a higher price.

How it feels

Melt delivers a brighter, clearer, and mentally uplifting effect than most other concentrates. Users often report:

• No paranoia
• No fogginess
• No crash or lingering tiredness

Storage

Colder is better. The freezer is your friend. Melt is extremely sensitive to temperature and air. To preserve its delicate terpenes (the aromatic oils that give cannabis its smell and effects), proper storage is everything.

• Store in the freezer, ideally at or below 32°F. The colder you go, the more terpenes are preserved.
• Use a glass jar with a tight, airtight lid — wide-mouth jars with silicone seals are ideal.
• Keep away from heat and light. UV rays and warmth will degrade your melt quickly.
• Check the jar occasionally for tightness. Cold causes glass to contract, which may loosen the seal and let in air.
• Don’t leave a jar out for more than 30 minutes. The material will harden up and become stiff.

📦 A well-stored jar of melt can stay fresh for years. Exposure to heat or air can dry it out, cause terpene loss, or affect the melt’s ability to vaporize cleanly.

Preparation

Take your time — melt is sensitive, strong, and best handled gently. Because melt is made of nothing but trichome heads, it’s highly potent and sticky. Here’s how to handle it right:

1. Take the jar out of the freezer and let it rest for at least 5 minutes before opening. This prevents condensation from forming inside the jar. Condensation causes mold.
2. Hold the jar in your hand, transferring your body temperature to the bottom of the jar. The jar should be warm.
3. Use a clean, cold dab tool — never your fingers — to scoop a at least grain-of-rice-sized dab .
4. Return the jar to the freezer immediately after scooping.

If your melt is too hard to scoop, hold it in your hand long enough to soften slightly — but don’t let it warm up too much or you’ll risk terpene loss and texture change. You could also accidentally fling your melt across the room.

Smoking

Low temp dabs bring out the full flavor and preserve the magic. To fully appreciate melt, it must be smoked at very low temperatures — usually between 450–515°F. This low-temp dabbing preserves its full terpene expression, giving you the most honest, unaltered flavor profile possible. Compared to more processed materials like rosin or distillate, melt provides a direct taste of the original plant — just trichomes, nothing added, nothing pressed. This also prevents charring material on the nail. Melt is usually enjoyed by dabbing, but it must be vaporized at the right temperature. Because it’s so pure, full melt will bubble, melt, and vaporize — but if overheated, it can scorch.

You’ll need one of the following:

• A dab rig with a quartz banger and a torch
• An electronic vaporizer like a Puffco Peak, Proxy, or Carta
• A ceramic chamber vape pen with no exposed metal coils

Steps for a dab rig:

1. Heat the banger with a torch until red hot.
2. Wait for it to cool to 450°F–515°F.
3. Drop in the melt using your dab tool.
4. Use a carb cap to hold in heat and control airflow.
5. Inhale slowly and enjoy the full terpene expression.

Want to test your melt? If it leaves little or no residue behind when dabbed, it’s true full melt — the gold standard of solventless.

Cleaning

Keep it clean to honor the purity of your melt. Melt is ultra-refined, so it deserves a clean setup every time. Dirty glass or old residue can ruin the flavor and waste your product.

• After every dab, use a Q-tip to swab the banger while it’s still warm (not hot).
• Slowly rotate the Q-tip around the inside of the nail, removing plant material. This can take several passes. Be sure to rotate, not rub.
• Soak tools in isopropyl alcohol, then rinse with warm water.
• Never reuse dirty tools — even a small amount of burnt oil can affect taste and the residue will appear on the nail again.

🧼 Pro tip: Clean your rig weekly and change water often. Melt is all about flavor, and a dirty rig blocks that magic.

Final Tips

• Start slow — full melt is very potent. Effects can come on fast and linger.
• Don’t mix melt with flower or distillate — it deserves its own clean, dedicated setup.
• Store melt upright in its jar to avoid spills or leaks.
• Use cold tools, especially when portioning directly from the freezer.
