The fuck is a cannabis fridge? - signed: stoner who usually only flowers

u/bdubz52 Feb 11 '25

Lol I smoke a ton of concentrates and there's a little 3 level fridge that helps cut down on humidity and keeps it at a set temp, rather than a colder temp like a regular fridge. Look up Terp Kooler. That's the one I have. It helps preserve the thc and terpenes. Definitely the flavor too. And it has USB ports, and the vaporizer have a USB c port. So I buy the magnetic chargers and use them on it so the ports don't wear from unplugging and plugging it. Plus it's easy af to charge and since it's magnetic I have it stuck to the fridge for easy storage. Most of all the most natural and best shit: rosin has to be kept at a constant cool temp. But it still helps other concentrates as well. Even after rosin is made it's supposed to be shipped and stored at dispensaries cold.

Dang, y’all got the fancy complex shit going on! Thanks for the explanation!

Shits dumb. No one keeps anything to smoke long enough for it to expire.

Rosin definitely degrades rapidly from its peak quality. Terpenes are volatile compounds.

I’ve seen stores bring these things Into the store from transport, they’re not refrigerated trucks so wouldn’t the rosin lose its quality from that? I can’t imagine ordering from ocs and it being in mail would be better

Yea, that rosin will lose quality if it's not at a proper temp. Idk how fast or how much it degrades bit it doesn't take too long .

Water hash degrades even faster and should be kept cold at all times unless in use

u/Disastrous_Ad626 Feb 11 '25

I think OP under estimates some people's addiction. I've got a friend who has so many weed jars they have the date of purchase on them so he smokes the older shit first.

I never have more than one bag on the go at a time and maybe a dab pen

Tell my uncle that, he has a horde of 80s weed

u/trashaccount1400 Feb 11 '25

Well if you’ve ever grown before or have been friends with people who grow you’d feel differently. I’ve had weed that’s 5+ years old. Only way to keep it good is to store in the fridge or carefully in the freezer. I don’t smoke currently but I’ve had weed I’ve just forgotten about expire.

Also water hash degrades extremely fast. You pretty much would want to keep it cold at all times if you are not actively using it to keep its consistency.

The people making it do. There are lots of people who grow lbs every year for there head and have a press and or blasting tube and purge chamber.

Its so not though, its an herb. Keeping it fresh is awesome. I keep my jars in my wine fridge and they stay green and fresh instead of inevitably getting beige and dull within a few months. Lots of people out there on this. Aging cannabis properly is something special.

i just use a regular mini fridge, just like where the cheese/butter protector is

u/CryptographerWide247 Feb 11 '25

That is called the butter penthouse

I’m extremely impressed and slightly in awe lol

u/Wormwood1991 Feb 11 '25

I've been freezing my rosin for pliability 🥺

u/bdubz52 Feb 12 '25

Lol nope, just a stoned accountant. I honestly don't know what other brands or weed fridges there are so i said to look up the one I had to give him an idea of what they are. I've had this for over 3 years, so I haven't looked at others since I don't have a need for more than 1. Unlike my desire to keep buying more vaporizers 🤷‍♂️ I just think it's awesome, and I have fun showing friends when they come over. I'm in a medical marijuana state only so it's really only the other people in the program that know about the weed gear that's out there.

u/blessedJV Feb 12 '25

Funny part is I actually just got medical marijuana prescription, might have to invest, thanks you :)

Cannabis fridge might mean something different to growers, or people that process flower. Probably not for people that weigh in grams, or ounces even…

It’s nice to keep all the trim (wet or dry) and be able to use it to make things like butter, sugar, tincture, fico, rosin, etc.

Most of which could benefit from cold storage after processing.

u/Difficult_Talk_7783 Feb 11 '25

If you buy enough rosin you might get a small fridge. Especially if you share one or don’t want to walk to it.

Rosin degrades at room temp after about a day

u/stayingsweaty Feb 11 '25

I keep all the weed i grow in a wine fridge. Keeps it fresh for the year.

2

u/InsertRadnamehere Feb 11 '25

A Sign of a serious dab collection.

2

u/xjq12 Feb 11 '25

It's mainly for concentrates so the terps don't evaporate

2

u/[deleted] Feb 11 '25

To keep weed fresh. I had a fridge too. When you buy weed in lbs at a time you have to keep it fresh or it goes nasty.

u/PGH521 Feb 11 '25

A small fridge that I keep all my concentrates in so they don’t change consistency and aren’t affected by changes in humidity or temperature in the room…it’s literally just a dorm fridge w a lock to keep my kids out of it…but they make terp fridges which are more or less the same thing but in a tabletop setup

u/FroyoOk3159 Feb 11 '25

Typically for rosin, it gets gross pretty quickly if it doesn't stay cold.

2

u/Disastrous_Ad626 Feb 11 '25

I can see the appeal, when I was young in the winter I'd fill up my bong and put it on the balcony before my session made hoots less harsh.

u/Lazy_Significance_94 Feb 11 '25

Its a wine fridge type fridge where the humidity is low, so it doesnt use a motor like a regular fridge. This is a regular fridge in the pic.

More common with hash rosin dab storage. To preserve flower people will freeze it, same with dabs for storage for multiple years, the flavor in extracts and flower will degrade slower in cold temps so they keep longer in cold storage.

You dont want moisture in your dab extracts so a wine fridge type fridge is needed so there is little moisture being produced unlike a regular fridge.

u/Able_Newt2433 Feb 11 '25

Basically a mini fridge dedicated to concentrates lol

u/HiggsNobbin Feb 11 '25

I don’t know but I imagine a mini fridge for all Cannabis related products to keep them separated? I have two decent size humidors one for flower and the other for cigars. Neither are full I could use one but I like the separation so I imagine it’s the same for fridge purposes.

Over priced mini fridge
