Shatter
Shatter is the translucent, glass-like extract that helped define modern concentrates. Its smooth, amber clarity signals a long, controlled purge, and its cleaner terpene-to-THC ratio means a brighter, more immediate hit. Snap off a small piece, load a quartz banger or e-nail at moderate temperature, and expect a pronounced flavor-forward pull. Handle with care — shatter is temperature sensitive and will soften into budder with warmth.
