Dabbing is one of the growing and newest trends for smoking aficionados, an alternative for those individuals who want a less harsh smoking experience, and instead opt for a vapor based experience, as there is not combustion with dabbing. It is done at a very high temperature, so that there is less of a guessing game because it is a more uniform experience. Dabbing dosages are more easily controlled than the typical herb experience. It allows the user to customize their smoking experience and also requires less product, so it is a more discrete form.
Dabbing is a method of pressing a piece of legal essential oil, extract, or concentrate against a heated surface of oil rig pipe and then inhaling the smoke. It needs a special piece of equipment called dab rig to achieve optimum results. Unlike traditional ways of smoking, dabbing does not require the combustion of dry herbs. Instead, the user applies a heating element to the concentrate and inhales the resulting vapor. The nail is perhaps the most crucial piece of the dab rig, as it is responsible for heating your concentrate into a vapor. Nails are available in ceramic, quartz, titanium and glass, though most dabbing connoisseurs prefer quartz for its ability to retain the dab’s flavor. The nail is heated using a butane torch lighter to reach the necessary temperature to vaporize your concentrate.
How To Do a Dab?
There are definitely a few more steps to dabbing than hitting a bong or a pipe, so if it’s your first time dabbing, you might want someone who has dabbed before nearby to supervise. There are a few things that you need to get started:
- A glass piece (also called a rig)
- A nail (usually titanium, glass, or quartz)
- Butane torch (a smaller torch with a more manageable flame is best)
- Dabber tool
- Dabs
- Dome (optional)
The first thing you want to do is grab your torch and heat your nail until it turns red. The time it takes your nail to both heat up and cool off varies depending on what material it’s is made out of (titanium nails heat up and cool off faster than glass and quartz nails). Next, you’ll want to wait for your nail to cool off. If you try to take a dab while the nail is too hot, you’ll waste a lot of THC and terpenes, and you’ll have a much harsher hit.
Like other glass bong water pipes, dab rigs filter smoke through water to help create a pleasant smoking experience. This is further helped by percolators and, occasionally, ice-catchers. Most dab rigs have joints at a 90 degree angle so the smoker can comfortably use the butane torch and place the dab while holding the pipe. No more will dabbers risk their hands just to smoke a sweet dab. Another simplifying innovation is the electronic nail (more commonly referred to as an e-nail), which combines the concentrate nail with the butane torch. Just set it to the required temperature and put wax on it. In time, the e-nail will most likely be a standard tool for all dabbers. Thus modern dab rigs provide an ease of use and comfort to the users.
