What is how to dab?

Dabbing involves vaporizing cannabis concentrates like wax, shatter, or budder on a heated surface and inhaling the resulting vapor. Here's a breakdown:

  • What You Need: You'll require a Dab Rig (a specialized water pipe), a Nail or Banger (the surface you heat), a Torch (usually butane), a Dab Tool (to handle the concentrate), and your Concentrate.

  • Heating the Nail: Heat the nail or banger with your torch until it's red hot (or to your desired temperature if using an e-nail). This typically takes 30-60 seconds. Let it cool for a bit based on preference – the cooler the temp, the more flavorful the dab, but the less vapor produced.

  • Applying the Concentrate: Use your dab tool to carefully place a small amount of concentrate onto the heated nail or banger.

  • Inhaling the Vapor: As the concentrate vaporizes, inhale slowly and steadily through the mouthpiece of the dab rig.

  • Cooling the Nail: After taking your dab, it's a good idea to clean the nail with a cotton swab to remove any residue. This keeps it clean for the next dab and preserves the flavor. Using Isopropyl Alcohol will help clean it well.

  • Temperature Control: This is crucial. Too hot, and you'll burn the concentrate, resulting in a harsh hit and wasted product. Too cold, and you won't vaporize it properly. Experiment to find the right temperature for your setup and preferences. Using an E-Nail can allow for precise temperature control.

  • Safety: Always use caution when working with a torch and heated surfaces. Be aware of your surroundings and keep flammable materials away.
