Cannabis concentrates have been a hit in the marijuana space for the past few years. With the trend towards legalization of marijuana, weed enthusiasts are embracing these highly concentrated marijuana products. So finding the best way to store cannabis concentrate is a very critical point. Optimal choice ofconcentrate storage packaging is the only way to ensure that these products retain their potency, flavor, aroma and effectiveness over time.

Some people may ask, does THC wax go bad? The short answer is yes. Similar to dried cannabis flower,concentrates lose potency and flavor. Therefore, it is imperative that consumers obtain proper pat storage to keep their concentrates fresh and potent.

Fortunately, maintaining the quality of cannabis extracts is easier than flowers. While both products require protection from excessive light, air, moisture and heat, they are stored very differently.

You also don't want to put your precious terpene-rich concentrate at risk. So, check out some tips on how to store your concentrate to help you make a thoughtful decision when choosing your concentrate packaging.

How Long You Want To Store The Concentrate?

Cannabis concentrates can’t be stored just anywhere. Some consistencies of concentrate are not meant to be stored in glass jars. For example, most shatter will get stuck to the glass. Then, it will be extremely difficult to get it all out. You’ll need a nectar collector to use up all the shatter that ends up stuck in the jar. On the other hand, consistencies like live resin sauce or budder are easier to scoop out of small glass jars.

Think about how long you want to store the concentrate. This is very important to whether you can choose the best container.

Short-Term Storage

1.Silicone Jar

A silicone is one of the most versatile containers for storing cannabis concentrates because you can easily get any consistency on and off of it. You’ll want to make sure it is made of medical grade silicone to ensure your concentrates remain sanitary and uncontaminated.

Even though they’re convenient, silicone jars are better for short-term storage. If you’re gonna be done with the wax in about a week it should be fine. However, silicone jars aren’t air-tight so you can’t count on them to preserve the quality of your extracts for long.

2.Plastic jars

Plastic jars are another short-term storage option for certain consistencies of hash oil. We don’t recommend storing your concentrates in plastic jars because stickier concentrates and shatters will stick to the point where it’s near impossible to get it all off. These containers come with certain crumbles and other BHO at dispensaries. So either move your concentrates to another container or plan to finish them as soon as possible.

3.Parchment Paper

Parchment paper alone is ideal for short-term storage of a few extract consistencies like shatter. It’s also used to make dabs at home using the rosin technique. Cut just enough for the amount of concentrate you have and make sure it’s folded up to keep the extract away from outside elements.

For short-term storage, you’ll just need to keep the parchment in a cool and dark place. For anything longer, you’ll want to make sure the parchment is sealed in something completely safe from outside air, moisture and light. Then, you can just leave it in a cool dark place.

With a few extra steps, you can use parchment paper for medium-term storage or longer. If you only need to store your concentrates for a few weeks, you can put a concentrate-filled parchment paper in a sealed food bag. Then, store it in an airtight container placed in a cool, dark place.

Long-Term Storage

1.Glass Jar

Glass containers are better for oleoresins that can be scooped right off of the glass. Glass jars with plastic twist-off caps are filled with budder, crumble, sauce, sugars, THCa crystalline and other concentrates that don’t stick aggressively to glass jars. For long-term storage, the jars can be vacuum seal and stored in a cool, dark place.It’s best to use the smallest container possible so there’s no extra space for air.

2.Freezing

For people in hot areas with no cool dark place, you can use a refrigerator or freezer for long-term storage. You’ll need your extracts to be stored in parchment or a glass jar. Then, vacuum-sealed to ensure no humidity contaminates your extracts.

If you don’t have a vacuum sealer or enough concentrate to warrant one, you can use other precautions. Put the parchment or jar in a sealed bag and then put that sealed bag in an airtight container. Preferably one that removes the excess air when you seal it off.

Summary

Now you know a lot about the different containers for properly storing cannabis concentrate. However, the best method depends on how long you plan to store it and the consistency of the concentrate.

For short-term storage, you can use a cool, dark place, such as a room-temperature place in a drawer, for up to a week.

If you don't plan to use the concentrate within a week, you'll need to purchase airtight containers or a vacuum sealer. If you have an always cool, dark place, you can keep the sealed extract in there for a few months. Otherwise, you may need to use a refrigerator or freezer.
