What You Should Know
A quick rundown of the main points, questions, and guidance you'll find in this guide.
Overview
Key Takeaways
- Glass containers with airtight lids preserve freshness best for longer storage.
- Silicone containers are durable and travel friendly but are not fully airtight, so they suit short term use within a few weeks.
- Choose black or amber glass over clear glass to protect concentrates from light degradation.
- Keep wax at or below room temperature and away from heat, since high temperatures are hard on extracts.
- Store concentrates in a dark cupboard, or in the refrigerator if you live somewhere humid.

How-To
Complete How-To
Below, the full guide builds on the quick brief with detailed product considerations and buying guidance to steer your choice.
There’s something special about taking a puff of wax concentrates from your favorite vaporizer—it’s relaxing and incredibly smooth! Have you ever wondered what makes concentrate smooth and well-kept? If you smoke concentrates on a regular and want to know how to store these kinds of materials properly, then this Exxus Vape Blog is for you. We are here to guide you through the process of keeping your concentrates sticky and potent as long as possible.
Glass or Silicone Container?
Whether you purchase different kinds of extracts like shatter or crumble, they will most likely already be inside the right container. There are two types of containers for wax: glass or silicone.
On a distinct understanding, glass is a tough material with airtight lids, which is very important for preserving freshness for a longer period of time. Silicone, on the other hand, is completely durable and won’t break while taking dab sessions to go. Although silicone is a great option, this material lacks airtightness. So, if you are looking to make your wax lasts, then consider just keeping them inside a glass container. Ideally, we recommend using silicone containers if you desire to have your concentrates in short-term consumption—within a few weeks.
When you are choosing glass containers, try to look for black or amber glass. You may think that transparent glass should be fine, but it exposes concentrates to light degradation, making it not the best choice for extended storage.
Temperature Matters
Taking a dab on a hot day may be quite challenging. If you have ever left your glass container of concentrates inside a vehicle on a sunny day, then you must be aware of how high temperatures can be a sensitive matter for extracts. You will need to protect your wax extracts from heat and light by placing them at room temperature or preferably below. In moderate climates, storing your extracts in a dark cupboard where they are not getting sunlight is ideal.
If you are in an area where there’s humidity, we recommend to store your concentrates in the refrigerator. Do not place them in the freezer—wax concentrates are sensitive to condensation, and this can lead to mold.
Final Thoughts
When we dab or enjoy a vape sesh, we don’t really wonder about how to store our concentrates properly—we just puff and enjoy! It is essential to keep extracts in correct storing, as its potency and flavor will be at harm if not cared for.
