Benefits of dabbing concentrates :

1. No smoke

Any type of smoke can damage your lungs if you breathe it in because of the ash and toxins it carries. When dabbing, you heat concentrates just enough for them to evaporate without combusting at lower temperatures.

You are not exposing your lungs to the toxic components in smoke since you are breathing in vapor. Instead, you experience a light vapor that has a very subtle scent that dissipates quickly, unlike smoke. 2. Better flavor

You don't need to taste any unpleasant smoke because you aren't burning anything. Instead, dabbing lets you to savor the full flavor of the terpenes in the vapor, especially when dabbing at lower temperatures.

A dab is also exceptionally thick in cannabinoids, resulting in greater tastes than vaporizing powdered plants.

3. Enhanced impacts

Whereas only 20% of dried herbs have active components, wax extracts have a density of up to 80%. This results in greater effects than smoking, letting you to have the experience you want in fewer puffs. Assemble your dab rig.

Before you can learn how to use a dab rig, you'll need the proper dabbing instruments. Here are the fundamental tools:

Dab Rig

Dab rigs (or oil rigs) are similar to bongs, but they use cannabis extracts instead of dried plants. The majority of dab rigs are made of silicone or glass water pipes with replaceable parts. You may use these to repair broken pieces and modify your dabbing sessions.

Although simple dab rigs just chill dabs through the water chamber, more complicated dab rigs with percolators that split up the vapor for cooler hits are available.

Dab nails, sometimes known as "bangers," are the heating components. They retain the item being vaporized and receive the heat required to evaporate it. They're often sold as part of a whole dab rig package and are composed of heat-resistant materials such as quartz, titanium or ceramic.

There are other electronic nails, such as this nearly unbreakable one, that do not require external heating sources. E-nails allow you to digitally adjust the temperature of your dab setup while avoiding the need of an open flame.

If you don't have an electronic nail, a dab torch will suffice. Butane blowtorches, unlike standard lighters, are ideal for dabbing due to the high temperatures at which they burn.

Aside from a decent butane torch, we recommend keeping a can of butane fuel on hand to recharge your torches.

Dabber

A dabber is a basic, heat-resistant instrument for manipulating concentrates. These let you to load and unload your wax and budder without risking finger burn.

The best tool for the job will be determined by the material and your particular preferences. There are several instruments designed to manipulate various types of concentrates, and they are constructed of unbreakable titanium or multicolored glass.

You don't want to waste any of your concentration, do you? Although a dab rig may be used without one, carb caps are quite essential for catching all material and producing rich, thick clouds.

Your dab

A dab is a concentrated dosage that is generally rather little. Prepare your dab rig by cutting out and separating a dab from the rest of your materials with your tools. Step-by-step instructions for using your dab rig

Do you have everything you need? Here's how to put them to use:

1. Put the nail in place.

You should first fasten it to the dab rig. It's typically as simple as plugging it into the joint, much like a bong.

Keep in mind, though, that this is the only time you'll be allowed to attach the nail without first testing its temperature. When you first start dabbing, you should be aware of the incredibly high temperatures you're utilizing to manipulate your banger. 2. Heat up the nail

Once the nail is placed on your dab rig, you'll need a heating device, such as a dabbing torch, to heat it up.

Apply the torch flame directly on the nail and focus on evenly heating it for around 30 seconds. When quartz bangers are fired, they generally glow orange or red.  3. Let the nail to cool down.

You probably don't want to take a dab just after heating up the nail. Instead, for a quartz nail, wait a few seconds under a minute, or around 10 seconds for a titanium nail, until it achieves the proper temperature.

Low-temperature dabs produce better-tasting rips, which are ideal for beginners. Dabs at high temperatures produce thicker, more concentrated clouds. By varying the temperature, you may target certain terpenes and achieve somewhat varied results. 4. Take a dab

After the nail has cooled slightly, use your dabber to pick up a little chunk of your substance and insert it within the hot nail. Twist the dabber tip onto the nail to ensure that all of the substance is left behind. To assist evaporate your concentration and manage the airflow, cover your banger with a carb cap. Then, lay your lips on the mouthpiece and inhale slowly.

The dab should ideally be tiny enough that you can vaporize and inhale the entire quantity. The vapor should fill your dab rig and go from the nail to your mouth. Then exhale completely, without retaining the vapor in your lungs. You can keep loading material to dab until you get the experience you’re after. Cleaning your dab rig

Clean dab rigs improve your dabbing experience and assist to extend the life of your piece. You may clean your dab setup with isopropyl alcohol and pipe cleaners or q-tips. Cleaning using specialized cleaners also cuts down on the amount of time you'll need to spend cleaning.

Begin by cleaning away any remnants with your cotton swab immediately after dabbing. Then, drain your water chamber and refill it with rubbing alcohol. Close the openings and aggressively shake for a few seconds, then soak for about an hour to clean. Meanwhile, you may clean your dabber, nails, and everything else in your setup. Alternatively, use special glass cleaning solutions if you don’t want to wait and instead want to shake the piece and clean it off immediately. Dabbing is easy, if you know how to do it. Now that you know how to use a dab rig, we’re sure you’ll end up loving it.
