A small texture dictionary
Shatter describes a glass-like form. Sugar describes a granular form. Crumble describes a dry, friable consistency. Badder and budder describe softer, creamy consistencies. Wax is used broadly and may be less specific than the other texture terms.
Texture and extraction are separate questions
Finishing and product composition influence consistency. Two products with similar appearances can have different starting materials or processing histories. A texture-only label therefore leaves important questions unanswered. Look for a fuller name, such as one that also identifies resin or rosin.
Why there is no single wax temperature
A single setting for everything called wax would hide those differences. The site’s chart names particular categories from its source; it does not assign every ambiguous menu label to one category. If a product’s type is unclear, clarify it before applying the chart.
Appearance is not a quality test
Transparency, color, and consistency do not independently verify purity or batch testing. A striking product photograph is an illustration, not a test result. Keep visual descriptions separate from claims about composition, potency, contaminants, or compatibility.
A better way to read a menu
Identify the process family first, then the texture, then the intended hardware. Check the actual product label for the remaining details. If a menu uses several texture names together, ask what is in the container rather than trying to infer a precise formulation from the marketing language.
