Liquid Badder vs. Liquid Budder: What’s The Difference? Which Is Better?

Extra, extra, read all about it!  The hemp vape industry has just gotten a lot more advanced – and more awesome overall, mainly due to more alternative extracts found in vape cartridges and disposable vape pens.  Presently, companies are developing higher-potency extracts that are, in essence, liquid concentrates that can vaporize easily thanks to more advanced vaping hardware. 

With that being said, there are two types of liquid concentrates you should expect to see more of in your vapes heading into the future: liquid badder and liquid budder.  Let’s see how they stack up against one another.

Contender #1: Liquid Badder

Liquid badder is a spinoff of “regular” badder, which is a type of cannabis concentrate that’s been on the market for years in the dabbing sphere.  Badder is named after its similarities to cake batter, as it’s a smooth, creamy, and whipped type of concentrate with an appropriately pale yellow hue.

Badder is known for being unbelievably flavorful, because it undergoes less processing than other types of concentrates (like shatter), and less processing means better-preserved terpenes.  

Liquid badder is just a little bit looser than traditional badder, yet still maintains its whipped n’ creamy consistency.  Keeping it a little looser, by concentrating it less than you would to make dab-friendly badder, means that it can be used in vape oils, requiring a lower temperature than what dabbing devices reach to vaporize it.  Hence, the whole reason why it even exists.

Liquid Badder Creation Process

To make badder, the desirable compounds, like the cannabinoids and terpenes, are separated from the raw plant material through an extraction process involving a solvent like butane or CO2 (solvents are vacuumed out later on).  This produces a liquid, oil-soluble extract that gets cooked to concentrate these compounds, and what makes badder distinctive from other concentrates is that you whip it while it cools, or else it would turn into wax.  Some manufacturers will actually apply a cooling technique to the badder to get an even fluffier, creamier texture, as this ensures that the consistency never becomes too wax-like.

Liquid Badder Pros & Cons:

Pros:

• Liquid badder offers some of the best flavor out of any concentrate type (arguably, its only rivals are live resin and live rosin, as both are renowned for how delicious they taste in virtually equal measure).

• Since liquid badder is typically extracted from fresh or flash-frozen cannabis plants, it retains a significant amount of terpenes, providing a complex and robust flavor profile.
• Liquid badder has an aesthetically pleasing batter-like consistency, as it’s whipped.
• Liquid badder vaporizes well because it’s not too thick, and it’s unlikely to clog a device.
• Liquid badder is more potent than “regular” extracts.

Cons:

• Liquid badder requires a solvent of some kind during the production process.  While the solvent is removed from the final product via a vacuum, there are a number of “purists” out there who believe that solventless concentrates are cleaner, purer, and more structurally sound, chemically speaking.
• Like other cannabis concentrates, it can degrade in quality if not stored properly.  Exposure to heat, light, or air can significantly affect its potency and flavor.

Contender #2: Liquid Budder

Liquid budder (also known as budder wax), often found in the context of cannabis products, refers to a type of cannabis concentrate that has a consistency similar to butter or thick oil.  It’s produced by extracting cannabinoids and terpenes from the cannabis plant using solvents like butane or CO2.  The process involves purging the solvent from the concentrate, which results in a product that is less solid than traditional shatter but thicker than typical oils.  Liquid budder is prized for its potent effects and flavorful profile, making it popular among users who prefer dabbing or vaporizing their cannabis.

Liquid Budder Creation Process

The process begins by extracting cannabinoids and terpenes from cannabis plant material using solvents like butane or CO2, similar to liquid badder.  The choice of solvent affects the final texture and purity of the concentrate.  There is also the winterization process, which involves mixing the extract with ethanol and then freezing it.  This helps to separate out fats and waxes by making them solidify.  This is filtered out to ensure a purer concentrate.

After extraction, the mixture is purged to remove the solvents.  This is usually done in a vacuum oven, where heat and vacuum are applied to evaporate the solvents without degrading the active ingredients.  Once the majority of the solvent has been removed, the extract is sometimes whipped during the purging process.  This incorporates air into the extract, changing its texture to a more butter-like consistency, hence the name “budder”.

The product can then be further processed or cured to achieve the desired consistency and flavor profile.

Liquid Budder Pros & Cons:

Pros:

• Liquid budder is highly concentrated, offering elevated levels of THC and other cannabinoids.
• Like other concentrates, the effects of budder are typically felt quickly, especially when vaporized or dabbed.
• Budder can be used in various consumption methods, including dabbing, vaporizing, and as an additive in edibles.  Its malleable texture makes it easier to handle compared to more brittle concentrates.
• The extraction and purging processes used to make budder often preserve a rich terpene profile, resulting in a flavorful and aromatic experience that enhances user enjoyment.
• The creamy consistency of budder is generally easier to handle and dose compared to harder concentrates like shatter, making it user-friendly, especially for those new to concentrates.

Cons:

• For users with lower tolerance or those new to cannabis, the high THC content in budder can be too intense.
• Due to its potency and the complex production process, budder can be more expensive than some other cannabis products, such as flower or basic extracts.
• Like other cannabis concentrates, it can degrade in quality if not stored properly.  Exposure to heat, light, or air can significantly affect its potency and flavor.
