Concentrate is what is left when the resin is separated from the plant and everything else is taken away. The Kingdom carries it in two forms: pressed hash, and live rosin vapes. Both are lab tested by batch and hemp compliant under the 2018 Farm Bill.
The short version
- Hash is pressed resin you handle yourself. Three styles on the listing: Lebanese, Moroccan and La Mousse.
- Live rosin is made with ice, water, heat and pressure, with no solvents at any stage, and comes ready to use in a 0.5 gram vape.
- Hash sizes run from a single gram up to a 100 gram block, though not every style is offered in every size.
- Styles, strains and sizes rotate. The selector on the listing above is the live record of what is in stock.
- Lab tested by batch, hemp compliant under the 2018 Farm Bill.
Pressed THCA hash
Hash is the oldest concentrate there is. The resin glands sit on the outside of the flower. Hash is made by separating those glands from the plant material and pressing what is collected into a solid. No solvents are used and nothing is added.
Three styles sit on the hash listing. Each is named for a traditional pressing method and each handles differently.
| Style | How it handles | Sizes listed |
|---|---|---|
| Moroccan | Smooth and pliable. Warms and softens readily in the hand | 1 gram up to a 100 gram block |
| Lebanese | Firmer and drier. Wants a little more warmth before it gives | 1 gram up to a 100 gram block |
| La Mousse | A modern style, lighter in texture than the two traditional presses | Single gram |
Neither Moroccan nor Lebanese is better than the other. They are two traditions with different handling, and which one suits you is preference rather than quality.
The gram sizes suit anyone trying a style or a strain for the first time. The larger sizes are there for buyers who already know what they want and would rather buy by weight than by the gram. Styles, strains and sizes rotate, so the selector on the listing above is always the accurate picture of what is in stock today.
Live rosin vapes
Rosin is made with ice, water, heat and pressure, and nothing else. Flower is frozen fresh, washed in ice water so the resin glands separate, then pressed between heated plates until the resin flows out.
No solvents are involved at any stage. That is the whole difference between rosin and the distillate that fills most vapes on the market, and it is why rosin costs more. Only the resin heads survive an ice water wash, so it takes a great deal of flower to fill a small vape.
Live means the plant went into the freezer straight after harvest rather than being dried and cured first. Freezing fresh keeps the aromatic compounds closer to how they were on the living plant, and that is what you taste in the finished rosin.
The Kingdom fills live rosin into 0.5 gram vapes, in a rotating strain lineup. As with the hash, the selector on the listing is the live record of which strains are available.
Hash or rosin, how to choose
| Pressed hash | Live rosin vape | |
|---|---|---|
| How it is made | Resin separated from the plant, then pressed into a solid | Ice water wash, then pressed with heat until the resin flows |
| Format | A solid you portion yourself | A filled 0.5 gram vape |
| Preparation | Warm it, break off what you need | None, it works out of the box |
| Cost by weight | The cheaper of the two by a wide margin | The more expensive of the two |
| Storage | Cool, dark, airtight and wrapped | Upright, cool, out of direct sunlight |
If you want the traditional format and the better price per gram, take the hash. If you want something that works straight out of the box, take the rosin vape.
We do not currently stock diamonds or dabs
The concentrate range right now is pressed hash and live rosin vapes, and nothing else. If it is not on this page, it is not available to order. Anything that comes back into the range will appear here first.
Buying concentrate by weight
THCA King is built on volume pricing, and concentrate is no exception. The hash listing runs all the way up to a 100 gram block, which is the format regular buyers and wholesale accounts tend to order. That block is a traditional pressed block, not 100 loose grams.
The same approach runs across the catalogue, from clearance THCA flower through to THCA small buds. For anyone who came here looking for flower rather than concentrate, the indoor and exotic THCA flower and greenhouse THCA flower collections are the places to start.
Buying hash for the first time
Take a single gram of the Moroccan. It is the more forgiving of the two traditional presses to handle, and a gram is enough to know whether the format suits you before you buy a block of it.
Frequently asked questions
What is THCA concentrate?
THCA concentrate is hemp resin that has been separated from the plant material it grew on. Everything that is not resin is removed, which leaves a product that is far denser by weight than flower. THCA King carries two types: pressed hash and live rosin.
What is the difference between hash and rosin?
Hash is the collected resin itself, pressed into a solid. Rosin is that resin squeezed out as an oil, using heat and pressure. Both are made without solvents. Hash is handled and portioned by the buyer, while the rosin here comes already filled into a vape.
What does live rosin mean?
Live means the plant was frozen straight after harvest instead of being dried and cured. It is then washed in ice water and pressed with heat. Freezing fresh keeps the aromatic compounds closer to those of the growing plant, which is why live rosin tastes different from rosin pressed from cured flower.
What is the difference between Lebanese, Moroccan and La Mousse hash?
Moroccan and Lebanese are two traditional pressing methods. Moroccan tends to be smoother and more pliable in the hand, while Lebanese is firmer and drier and wants a little more warmth before it gives. La Mousse is a modern style and is lighter in texture than either.
How much hash can I buy at once?
Sizes on the hash listing run from a single gram up to a 100 gram block, but not every style is offered in every size. The selector on the listing above shows exactly which style, strain and size combinations can be ordered right now.
Is THCA concentrate hemp compliant?
Yes. Everything THCA King sells is hemp grown under the 2018 Farm Bill and contains no more than 0.3 percent delta-9 THC. Every batch is lab tested and the results are published on the Certificates of Analysis page.
Do you sell THCA diamonds or dabs?
Not at the moment. The concentrate range is currently pressed hash and live rosin vapes. Anything that is available to order appears on this page.
All THCA King products are hemp derived and compliant with the 2018 Farm Bill, containing no more than 0.3 percent delta-9 THC. Lab results for every batch are available on the Certificates of Analysis page.
