4 SIMPLE TIPS FOR HOW TO DAB MORE EFFECTIVELY

By Kendall Jenkins on 2020-05-13 07:56:00

In recent years, dabbing has quickly become one of the marketplace's favorite ways to consume CBD.

In fact, while the act of smoking marijuana through a bong is over 2,000 years old, dabbing is only 30 years old.

Because of that, it's common that smokers would be unfamiliar with techniques on dabbing effectively. Learning more about the process can help you get more out of your smoking experience.

When it comes to dabbing cannabis concentrates, you need to understand the process in order to correctly perform.

Here is an in-depth guide of how to dab more effectively, in order to get the best out of every smoking session!

Ensure You Have All the Tools

In order to ensure the best dabbing experience possible, you need to make sure you have all the necessary tools to do so.

Make sure that you have a dab rig, nail, water pipe, dome, torch, gloves, and your preferred cannabis extract.

As you're gathering all of these items, make sure that they fit perfectly with your dab rig. There's nothing worse than going to smoke and finding out a certain item doesn't work as planned.

For torches, you'll want to consider either a mini-torch or a torch that's fueled by propane. If you're looking for a bit safer method, then you can find flameless methods in the marketplace as well.

As far as the cannabis that you use, be sure to ask your seller what they recommend with dabbing. Don't use any extracts that contain alcohol, as it could lead to the dab rig exploding or catching on fire.

How to Dab Effectively (Step by Step)

Now that you have all the necessary tools, it's time to apply those tools in the correct order.

Be sure to read below for an effective step by step process for how to dab safely and effectively.

1. Assemble and Light the Nail

First, start by setting up the dab rig as the manufacturer has directed. Some come already put together, others require a bit of assembly by the customer.

Once the dab rig is ready to be used, turn on the torch, and apply the flame to your nail. Assuming you're using a flame torch of some kind, keep it on the nail until it turns completely red.

Some of you might be using an electronic nail, which won't require a torch at all. If so, then your e-nail will walk you through when the nail is hot and ready for the next phase of the process.

2. Apply the Dome

For those of you using a torch to heat up the nail, turn it off as soon as the nail turns red. Once it is, cover the nail with your dome.

Be warned: you'll want to know what material your nail is made of prior to starting this process. If it's a titanium nail, then it only needs about 10 to 15 seconds to cool off.

But if it's a nail that's made of quartz, then you will want to wait almost a full minute (no less than 45 seconds) to let the nail cool off.

3. Put Gloves on

Even though the dome will help the nail cool down, you never want to assume it will be safe to touch.

Because of that, be sure to place some temperature-resistant gloves on that can help you handle the dab rig, dome, and nail, without burning your hand.

If you're going to use oven mitts, be sure that you can still effectively grab the glass without it slipping out of your hands.

4. Grab Your Dabber

While you're waiting for the nail to cool off a bit, be sure to have your dabber within reach.

Once the nail has cooled off enough, you can place the dab on the nail while still having the dome cover it.

Start by taking one quick inhale to see if the temperature is safe. If it's too hot, then wait a few more seconds for it to cool off.

However, if it's ready to go, then inhale slowly and rotate the tip of the dabber so that the oil doesn't stick from the high temperatures.

High-Temp or Low-Temp Dabs

Many people will swear to you that you should use either high-temperature or low-temperature dabbing methods in order to get the most from it.

Quite frankly, there is room in your life for both, if you so desire. In fact, the only way to find your preference is by trying them both to see what works for you.

Often times, people will point you towards low-temperature methods to provide you with a more comfortable smoking experience. After all, if you aren't careful, the air might be too hot for you to inhale.

The best method is aspiring to find the "Goldilocks" temperature somewhere in the middle.

The more that you use a certain dab rig, the easier it will be for you to gauge the right temperature for the nail. Generally speaking, that lines up to be somewhere around 700 degrees Fahrenheit.

Now You Know How to Dab Effectively!

Now that you know how to dab more effectively, it's time to improve your smoking method.

Be sure to take your time figuring out what temperatures, tools, and even cannabis concentrate that you prefer. As with anything else, you'll find that "sweet spot" over time as you dab more and more.
