Even if you have an electronic nail vaporizer with digital temperature control, there’s an art to how heat is applied & how long you let the concentrate preheat before you start hitting the device with your carb cap
It was pretty pathetic when I smoked weed out of a pipe for the first time. It was my second time trying the plant & the first 2 times I had taken a few hits off a joint a neighbor had rolled of mids-quality weed. When I was handed the pipe, I didn’t know about the carb-hole on the side that allows you to regulate the flow of air going into the pipe. I actually torched the whole bowl of weed on the first hit as well, as that’s another rookie mistake. However, with time I came to learn all of these finer points of stoner etiquette. A neighbor in college taught myself and others how to “corner” a bowl of weed where you take your flame & lightly kiss the particularly edge of the bowl of weed so only a small slit ignites & combusts. It makes the bowl of weed last a lot longer, & it’s basic etiquette when you’re not smoking your own cannabis. As weird as this may seem, dabbing cannabis concentrates is even more complicated than smoking cannabis flower products. Even if you have an electronic nail vaporizer with digital temperature control, there’s an art to how heat is applied & how long you let the concentrate preheat before you start hitting the device with your carb cap. I use a digital battery pack for my mininail & it has algorithms that you can load into its memory on your laptop. It learns how to go up to temperature, maintain that temperature steadily, & then taper off by the end until the atomizer cools. It’s amazing to see how far the art of dabbing cannabis concentrates has come as the technology improves.
