One unique style is known as the honeycomb disc – a cannabis extract with a distinctive waxy, honeycomb-like appearance.
Its texture makes it especially enjoyable to dab and consume.
What is a Honeycomb Disc?
Table of Contents
A honeycomb disc refers to a cannabis extract with a texture resembling a wax honeycomb. It has a softer, more malleable texture compared to shatters.
To make a honeycomb disc, butane is typically used to extract and concentrate the most desirable compounds from cannabis flower into a wax.
Extractors carefully control temperature and pressure during the process to induce nucleation, creating the honeycomb formation as the extract solidifies.
The result is a disc or slab with a waxy, sticky texture marked by visible pockets and bubbles resembling a honeycomb.
This gives it a higher surface area for vaporization than other solid extracts.
How to Clean a Honeycomb Disc?
Honeycomb discs should be clean for optimal dabbing. First, remove residue from previous dabs using isopropyl alcohol and cotton swabs.
Apply a little alcohol to the swab and gently rub the disc. Be careful not to oversaturate and dissolve the wax.
Regularly replacing dab tools and other equipment that come into contact with the disc is also recommended.
Using a torch lighter to occasionally re-heat the disc can help burn away any built-up residue as well.
Avoid soaking or washing honeycomb discs in liquids, as this can dissolve the wax. With occasional cleaning, honeycomb discs can retain their ideal texture.
