Pull ‘n’ snap

Pull 'n' snap refers to a type of cannabis extract with a taffy-like consistency—when you pull it, it snaps back into shape. It has a stable, clay-like texture that is moldable for handling but still solid at room temperature. Pull 'n' snap concentrates are commonly made by purging butane hash oil (BHO) of residual solvents, moisture, and lipids. Purging involves applying heat and vacuuming the oil to encourage volatile compounds like butane to evaporate. The more viscous, taffy-like texture results when most waxes and lipids are removed but some remain to prevent shattering. The pull ‘n’ snap consistency offers the best of both worlds for many concentrate fans. It has the malleability of badder for easy scooping and loading but enough stability to handle without sticking to everything.

The thickness allows pull 'n' snap products to be rolled into little balls for convenience when on the go. However, the finished texture ultimately depends on the starting material and exact techniques used during the purge process. Timing also matters when trying to achieve pull 'n' snap products of the ideal firmness that are workable but not overly gooey. Theproduction of pull 'n' snap wax remains more art than science, requiring attentive monitoring by extractors. For patients and consumers that prefer a thicker, less viscous concentrate, hunting down pull 'n' snap with the perfect toffee-like stretch can provide great satisfaction.
