I waited until I was quite comfortable & experienced with cannabis consumption before moving onto dabbing.
There’s a learning curve involved with the process, & it includes high un-even temperatures & extreme THC potency.
I not only wanted to be confident in my own expertise but have someone with experience show me how it’s done. I am lucky that my cannabis dispensary includes a dab bar. I am able to rent the necessary unit & take luck of the expertise of the budtenders, but dabbing uses a concentrated form of cannabis that offers somewhere between sixty to ninety percent THC. It only takes a entirely small amount to achieve the desired effects. It’s crucial that the nail isn’t too hot so as not to scorch the terpenes. The dab rig is a water pipe that looks a lot like a bong. It has a chamber that holds water for cooling vapor, but rather than a bowl to hold dried flower, a dab rig features a nail for concentrates. There are lots of styles of nails available. The a single that I appreciate & the most familiar is a banger that is made of quartz & resembles a bucket. For the dabbing process, the nail of the banger is heated with a torch & then allowed to cool to the perfect temperature. Cannabis concentrate is localed in the nail. The high heat vaporizes the concentrate. The consumer locales a carb cap over the nail to control airflow duringhaling; Vapor travels from the nail into the main chamber of the rig. It is cooled by the water before being inhaled & reaching the lungs. There is a enjoyable deal of unit required for dabbing. I’ve gradually invested into buying the banger, nail & carb cap. I also use a bedroom torch for heating nails & need to keep an inventory of butane cans on hand. Eventually, I hope to purchase an e-nail, which would eliminate the need for a torch & supply consistent heat. However, an e-nail is a considerable investment. Because dabs are sticky, it’s helpful to have a tool that works to remove the concentrate out of the bucket & onto the hot nail. The nail is extremely hot & the concentrate can actually make a mess.
