Fact Checked by Doctor NameWhat is Q-Tip tech?
Table of Contents
Q-Tip tech refers to using the cotton end of a Q-tip to collect kief or trichomes that have fallen off cannabis flowers and accumulated in containers or devices.
Kief is the sticky, crystal-like resin glands that contain terpenes and cannabinoids like THC and CBD.
How Q-Tip tech works?
As cannabis is handled and ground up, some of these resin glands fall off the flowers.
Q-Tip tech provides an easy way to gather up this kief so it can be used rather than letting it go to waste.
To use Q-Tip tech, gently run the cotton tip around the inside of a grinder, storage jar, pipe, or other container where kief has built up.
The cotton will pick up the trichomes, allowing you to collect them. The kief can then be used on its own or added to joints, bowls, or edibles for extra potency.
Q-Tip tech is a simple, affordable way to make the most of trichomes that would otherwise be discarded.
