You are somewhat missing the point cannabiner. Yes trim oil is waxy, but there is a reason I call my bubble "wax".
BHO is typically 5% to 20% plant wax. This wax is dissolved in the extraction process, all fresh oil is "sap". Then during the purging process people lose control of their parameters and crystalize the wax (budder, honeycomb), or they do it intentionally. This crystallized wax is easily vaporized by a hot nail, leaving little to no char. This crystallized wax is also not absorbed by the body (in your lungs) and must be expectorated (coughed up). This is why these dabkids' lungs are collapsing, the crystallized wax build-up and associated coughing. I think shatter/sap is superior over budder for this main health reason, beyond the obvious aesthetic advantage of transparency.
We alter the extraction parameters to change the solvent/solute properties. This allows us to not pick up the wax in the first place, usually at the expense of flavor. These parameter differences account for much of the texture differences between person A's oil and person B's oil. You can also winterize to get rid of the wax in the oil, but this usually takes the flavor as well.
Ice water extract is typically 10 to 30% wax, higher than oil. But the wax in a mechanical extract is in its natural state, not dissolved and then precipitated as a crystal. The natural state wax doesn't vaporize, as evidence by my many videos with a fat piece of char at the end. When you dab "full melt" that wax content is left as a char, which people make fun of me for, but its why my lungs are healthy, and the globkings have collapsed lungs and sip lean.
