A Beginners Guide To Dabbing

Dabbing has recently been gaining popularity in the medical cannabis community and with good reason. The form of consumption ensures that you are inhaling the most potent form of cannabis with the smallest possible quantity.

For a beginner, dabs might seem very daunting. They are a slightly complicated endeavor that requires you to use a couple of different tools. We have compiled a list of things that you should be careful about as a beginner to ensure that your experience is as pleasant as possible.

Dab Tools You Will Need

There are two ways you can dab. One is with the help of a dab rig and the other is with the help of a vaporizer. A vaporizer works in a pretty straightforward manner where you put concentrate in the chamber and the vaporizer and it does all the work for you. A dab rig works in a slightly different fashion and requires an elaborate setup.

Dab Rig

The water pipe looks like what you would expect a bong to look like, the only difference is the presence of a fitting in the end for a nail.

Nail

This is the bowl located at the end of the pipe where you put in the concentrate. These are available in a variety of materials. The most common one is quartz, followed by titanium and ceramic.

Another type that has been becoming popular recently is the e-nail, which operates with the help of electricity, Just make sure that you pick the right kind of joint for your rig,

Dabber

Available in metal, glass, or ceramic this is the tool that you will use to apply the concentrate onto the nail. It can be shaped like anything-a ballpoint, needlepoint, scoop, spoon, or a paddle. The function remains the same- which is to place concentrate onto the nail.

Carb Cap

This one is not a necessity but we do recommend you get it to help enhance your experience by regulating the airflow. If you don’t want to but it separately, there are plenty of dabber/carb cap combinations available in the market.

Torch

Similar to the torches available in the market for desserts, this is how you will be heating up the nail and thus the concentrate. If the fire is something you are not comfortable with, you can get an e-nail.

E-nail’s are a more convenient replacement as it uses electricity to heat the concentrate. Another great thing about e-nails?They offer settings that help dab at precise temperatures thus offering you an enhanced experience.

Cannabis Extract

You simply can’t dab with an extract. There are various forms available in the market. The most common ones include shatter, wax, BHO, and oil.

Go Low And Slow

When it comes to dabbing the best thing you can do for yourself is to go as low and as slow as possible. Concentrates irrespective of whether they are CBD or THC inclined are extremely potent and a little can go a long way when you use them.

If you are dabbing for medical reasons, make sure that you get an Online Medical Card as that will help you gain access to otherwise recreationally not available concentrates.
