Cannabis concentrates deliver 60% to 90% THC in a single gram, roughly three to six times the potency of top-shelf flower. At Happy Time Dispensary in Pullman, we stock 20 concentrate products from 8 brands, priced from $8 to $70. Whether you are a seasoned dabber or a curious intermediate looking to level up, our Pullman store at 1485 S Grand Ave carries the wax, shatter, live resin, and budder you need.
Concentrates and vape cartridges together account for over 36% of all cannabis revenue in Washington state, a share that has grown steadily as extraction technology improves and more consumers discover how efficient dabs can be. This guide covers every concentrate type we carry, how to consume them safely, and which brands our Pullman customers keep coming back for.

Types of Cannabis Concentrates
Concentrates come in several textures and extraction styles. Each one offers a slightly different experience in terms of flavor, potency, and ease of use:
Wax has a soft, crumbly, or slightly sticky texture that is easy to handle with a dab tool. It is one of the most popular concentrate formats for beginners because you can scoop a small amount without it shattering or running. Typical potency: 70% to 85% THC.
Shatter is a glassy, translucent concentrate that breaks (shatters) into pieces when you snap it. It tends to be very pure due to multiple filtration steps during extraction, though this process also reduces terpene content compared to live resin. Typical potency: 70% to 90% THC.
Budder (Badder) has a creamy, butter-like consistency created by whipping the extract during processing. Budder retains more terpenes than shatter, giving it a richer flavor profile. It is easy to work with and scoops cleanly onto a dab tool. Typical potency: 70% to 85% THC.
Live Resin is extracted from freshly harvested, flash-frozen cannabis plants. By freezing the plant immediately after harvest, the extraction preserves terpenes that would normally evaporate during drying and curing. The result is a concentrate with exceptional flavor and aroma, plus a more complex high thanks to the full terpene-cannabinoid interaction (the "entourage effect"). Typical potency: 65% to 85% THC with high terpene content.
Sugar and Diamonds are crystalline formations of nearly pure THC-A. Diamonds can test above 95% THC-A and are typically consumed with a "sauce" (terpene-rich liquid) for flavor. This is the highest-potency cannabis product available.
Terpenes in Concentrates
Terpenes play an even bigger role in concentrates than in flower, because the extraction process concentrates these aromatic compounds alongside the cannabinoids. Live resin and budder tend to have the richest terpene profiles, while shatter and distillate have less terpene complexity.
- Myrcene-rich concentrates lean toward deep relaxation and body effects. Look for indica-labeled wax and live resin.
- Limonene-forward concentrates deliver bright, citrusy flavor with uplifting effects. Common in sativa-labeled options.
- Caryophyllene-dominant concentrates add a peppery, spicy kick and interact directly with CB2 receptors in the body.
- Terpinolene and pinene appear in concentrate strains known for clear-headed, focused effects.

How to Consume Concentrates
There are several ways to use cannabis concentrates, ranging from simple to advanced:
Dab Rigs are water pipes designed specifically for concentrates. You heat a "nail" or "banger" (usually quartz, titanium, or ceramic) with a torch, then apply a small amount of concentrate to the heated surface while inhaling. Dab rigs deliver the most potent and flavorful experience, but they require the most equipment and technique.
Electronic Dab Pens (E-rigs) eliminate the torch by using battery-powered heating elements. Devices like the Puffco Peak or similar e-rigs let you set a precise temperature and dab without any open flame. They are more portable and beginner-friendly than traditional rigs.
Nectar Collectors are a simplified dabbing tool. Heat the tip, touch it to a small amount of concentrate in a dish, and inhale through the other end. Less setup than a full rig and easy to control dose size.
Adding to Flower is the simplest method. Crumble wax or place a small piece of shatter on top of packed flower in a bowl or joint to boost potency. This is a good way to try concentrates without investing in new hardware.
Dosing Guidance for Concentrates
Because concentrates are three to six times more potent than flower, dosing requires caution, especially for newcomers:
- Start tiny. A "rice grain" sized dab is a good starting point. You can always take another hit, but you cannot un-take one.
- Wait between dabs. Effects hit almost immediately (within seconds to a few minutes). Give yourself at least 10 to 15 minutes between dabs to gauge how you feel.
- Temperature matters. Lower temperatures (315F to 450F) preserve terpenes and produce smoother, more flavorful vapor. Higher temperatures (450F to 600F) create bigger clouds but can taste harsh and burn off terpenes.
- Stay hydrated. Dabbing can cause dry mouth and throat. Keep water nearby.
Prices and Daily Deals
Concentrates at Happy Time Pullman start at $8 for budget-friendly options and go up to $70 for premium live resin and diamond products. The average purchase is about $35. Pricing guide:
- Budget wax and shatter: $8 to $20
- Mid-range concentrates: $20 to $40

- Diamonds and sauce: $45 to $70
Gram for gram, concentrates are among the most cost-effective cannabis products for experienced users. A single gram of wax at 80% THC contains roughly the same amount of active THC as an eighth (3.5g) of flower testing at 25%. We also run daily deals and Happy Hour specials across all product categories.
Safety and Storage
Store concentrates in a cool, dark place. Silicone containers or glass jars with lids work well. Avoid heat, which can degrade potency and change the consistency of your product. Shatter, in particular, will turn sticky and hard to handle if stored in warm conditions.
A few safety notes: never use a torch near flammable materials, always let your nail cool before handling it, and keep all concentrate equipment and products away from children and pets. Washington law allows adults 21 and older to possess up to seven grams of concentrate.
