What Is 7/10 and Why Is It Called Oil Day?
Flip the number 710 upside down and you get "OIL"—the nickname that turned July 10 into cannabis concentrate culture's biggest celebration. While 4/20 has roots stretching back to 1971, 7/10 is a newer holiday that emerged from online cannabis communities in the early 2010s. As legal markets in Washington and Colorado expanded, so did the availability and quality of cannabis concentrates. Extraction technology advanced from simple butane hash oil runs to sophisticated closed-loop systems producing live resin, rosin, diamonds, and terpene-rich sauces. The holiday grew alongside the technology. By the mid-2010s, dispensaries across legal states had adopted July 10 as a promotional event, and cannabis analytics firms like Headset began tracking the sales spike that accompanies the holiday. Today, 7/10 is the second-largest cannabis sales event of the year in most markets, with concentrate categories seeing sales increases of 30 to 40 percent in the days surrounding July 10.
Types of Cannabis Concentrates Explained
The concentrate category has expanded enormously in recent years. Here is a guide to the most common types you will find at Happy Time Mount Vernon:
- Wax — An opaque, soft concentrate with a malleable texture. Easy to scoop with a dab tool and a popular starting point for new concentrate consumers. Potency typically ranges from 60 to 80 percent THC.
- Shatter — A hard, translucent concentrate that breaks into shards. Known for high purity and potency, usually 70 to 90 percent THC. Requires careful handling with a dab tool.
- Live Resin — Produced from cannabis plants that are flash-frozen immediately after harvest, preserving the terpene profile that drying and curing would diminish. The result is a flavorful, aromatic concentrate. Generally 65 to 85 percent THC.
- Rosin — Created by pressing cannabis flower or hash with heat and pressure—no solvents involved. Consumers who prioritize purity and clean extraction methods gravitate toward rosin. THC content ranges from 60 to 85 percent.
- Diamonds (THCA Crystalline) — The most potent concentrate available, consisting of nearly pure THCA crystals that can test at 95 to 99 percent. Often sold in a bath of terpene sauce for flavor.
- Budder / Badder — A whipped, creamy concentrate with a consistency between wax and sauce. Flavorful and easy to work with.
- Sauce — A loose, terpene-rich concentrate that contains small crystals suspended in a viscous liquid. Prized for its intense flavor and full-spectrum effects.

Equipment You Need for Dabbing
Concentrates require a different setup than flower. Here is what you need:
- Dab Rig — A water pipe with a banger or nail designed for concentrate. Available in various sizes and styles at different price points.
- Electronic Dab Pen / E-Rig — A portable, battery-powered option that heats concentrates without a torch. Ideal for consistent temperature control and convenience.
- Butane Torch — Used to heat the banger on a traditional dab rig. Heat until the banger glows, wait 30–60 seconds for it to cool to optimal temperature, then apply your concentrate.
- Dab Tool — A small tool (metal, glass, or ceramic) for scooping and placing concentrate on the heated surface.
- Carb Cap — Covers the banger after loading to regulate airflow, enabling lower-temperature dabs that are smoother and more flavorful.
Ask our budtenders at Happy Time Mount Vernon for equipment recommendations based on your budget and experience level.
Dosing Concentrates Safely
Because concentrates are far more potent than flower—typically 60 to 95 percent THC versus 15 to 30 percent for flower—responsible dosing is essential:
- Start with a rice-grain-sized dab — Especially if you are new to concentrates. Effects are immediate and intense.
- Use low temperatures — Dab between 350°F and 450°F for smoother vapor and better flavor. High temperatures burn terpenes and produce harsh smoke.
- Wait before redosing — Give yourself at least 10 to 15 minutes between dabs to fully feel the effects before deciding to take another.
- Hydrate — Keep water handy. Concentrates can cause dry mouth and throat irritation, especially at higher temperatures.
- Private property only — All cannabis consumption in Washington must occur on private property. Do not dab in public spaces, vehicles, or parks.
