What is Dabbing?

Dabbing is the process of vaporizing cannabis concentrates at high temperatures for immediate, potent effects. It’s become the preferred method for consuming concentrates due to its efficiency and clean delivery.

Essential Dabbing Equipment

Dab Rig: A water pipe designed for concentrates

Nail/Banger: The heating element (quartz, titanium, or ceramic)

Torch: For heating the nail to the proper temperature

Dab Tool: For handling and applying concentrates

Carb Cap: To control airflow and temperature

Temperature Matters

Low Temp (315-450°F):

  • Preserves terpenes and flavor
  • Smoother, more flavorful hits
  • Less harsh on the throat

High Temp (450-600°F):

  • More intense effects
  • Stronger flavor
  • Can be harsher

How to Dab Properly

  1. Heat your nail with a torch until it’s red hot
  2. Let it cool for 30-60 seconds (for low temp dabs)
  3. Apply a small amount of concentrate to your dab tool
  4. Touch the concentrate to the nail and inhale slowly
  5. Use a carb cap to control airflow and temperature
  6. Exhale and enjoy the effects

Dabbing Tips for Beginners

Start Small: Concentrates are potent – begin with rice-sized amounts

Temperature Control: Lower temperatures provide better flavor and smoother hits

Clean Equipment: Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance

Quality Matters: Use premium concentrates like those from Dabble Extracts

Safety Considerations

Always:

  • Use in a well-ventilated area
  • Keep equipment clean and maintained
  • Store concentrates properly
  • Start with small doses

Dabbing can be an excellent way to experience the full potential of cannabis concentrates when done properly with quality products.
