DAB DAY | 7/10

If you love cannabis concentrates, July 10th (7/10) is your day to shine. Known as “Dab Day,” this unofficial holiday celebrates the world of cannabis extracts including wax, shatter, oil, and more. Flip 710 upside down and it spells “OIL,” a perfect reference to the potent products that have taken the cannabis world by storm.

While 4/20 tends to focus on flower, 7/10 is all about potency, purity, and the flavorful experience of cannabis concentrates.

At Green Jar, we’re proud to feature some of Alaska’s top extract brands at our Wasilla and Hatcher Pass shops. We carry a wide selection of concentrate products, from sugar wax to FECO (full extract cannabis oil) even traditional kief sold by the gram. Here’s a quick guide for those looking to explore or deepen their knowledge of concentrates.

A Breakdown of Popular Concentrates

Sugar Wax

Sugar wax is named for its thick, granulated texture that looks and feels a bit like wet sugar. It’s known for being terpene-rich and easy to work with, making it a favorite among dabbers who appreciate flavor and effect. Sugar wax tends to have a higher moisture content than other extracts, which helps preserve those bold aromas.

FECO (Full Extract Cannabis Oil)

FECO is a potent, full-spectrum cannabis oil extracted using food-grade alcohol. It’s typically consumed orally, used in capsules, or added to food and drink. Unlike concentrates made solely for dabbing, FECO retains a wider array of cannabinoids and plant compounds, offering a robust therapeutic profile. Many users turn to FECO for long-lasting, body-focused relief. Our bud tenders often use FECO to infuse their own homemade edibles.

Shatter

Shatter is one of the most visually distinct concentrates from clear to amber-colored, and brittle like glass. It’s usually high in THC and can be broken into small pieces for precision dosing. Despite its delicate handling requirements, it remains a go-to for users who want strong effects with a clean finish.

Kief

Kief is a classic, solventless concentrate made from the trichomes (resin glands) that fall off cannabis flower during grinding or sifting. It’s one of the most natural forms of concentrate. No chemicals, no fancy equipment.  Just pure, dry THC-rich crystals! Kief can be smoked on its own, sprinkled over flower, or pressed into hash. At Green Jar, we sell kief by the gram, giving you an easy and affordable way to elevate any bowl, joint, or blunt.

Celebrating Local: Our Favorite Alaskan Extract Brands

Alaska is home to some incredibly talented concentrate producers and it’s no small feat to bring these high quality extracts from remote corners of the state into your hands.

Alaska requires careful planning, tight logistics, and sometimes a bit of grit. Products are flown in from places like Fairbanks, driven over mountain passes from the Kenai Peninsula, and braved through icy roads and tight delivery windows to ensure everything arrives fresh, legal, and ready for your rig.

Behind every dab is a team working across long distances to ensure product quality is maintained from lab to Green Jar’s shelves. From temperature controlled packaging to compliance checks at every step, these Alaskan companies work hard to make sure their concentrates get where they need to go. Even if that means multiple hops on planes, ferries, or snowy roads!

Here are a few of the standout brands we’re proud to carry at Green Jar:

AKO Farms | AKO  consistently delivers flavorful, high-potency concentrates with a focus on terpene preservation and quality control. From live resin to wax, their products are popular with experienced consumers looking for depth and power in every dab. These top tier concentrates are flown in from their lab located in Sitka, Alaska! We recommend for you to try this 7/10 the Watermelon Zkittles x Rainbow Belts Hash Rosin.

Enlighten Extracts | This Anchorage based team is known for clean, potent, and reliable extracts. Whether it’s a perfectly crystally sugar wax or a crisp shatter, Enlighten Extracts continues to impress with their small-batch consistency and attention to detail. We have some true Enlighten connoisseurs at our Hatcher Pass shop and they recommend everyone try the Black Mamba Sugar Wax or the Maui Haze Sugar Wax.

Stoned Cold Cannabis  | Also located in the Mat-Su Valley, Stoned Cold Cannabis focuses on small-batch, high-quality extracts made with care.
