Dabbing is a term used to describe a method of consuming concentrated cannabis extracts, such as shatter, wax, or budder. The act of dabbing involves heating a small amount of the extract on a hot surface, typically a nail made of quartz or titanium, and then inhaling the vapor through a dab rig or similar device.
The origins of dabbing are a bit unclear, but it's believed to have started in the early 2000s in California, where the production of cannabis extracts was becoming more widespread. As more people began experimenting with these potent extracts, they needed a new method of consumption that would allow them to experience the full effects of the concentrate.
Dabbing quickly gained popularity in the cannabis community, as it allowed for a more intense and immediate high than smoking flower. The process of dabbing also helped to preserve the flavor and terpene profile of the extract, as it was heated at a lower temperature than traditional combustion methods.
To dab, you'll need a few key pieces of equipment. First, you'll need a dab rig, which is a specialized water pipe designed for vaporizing concentrates. You'll also need a nail, which is the hot surface on which you'll place your dab. Nails can be made of quartz, titanium, or ceramic, and each material has its own unique benefits and drawbacks.
To prepare for a dab, you'll heat up the nail using a torch until it's glowing red hot. Once it's reached the desired temperature, you'll use a dabber tool to place a small amount of concentrate onto the nail. The heat from the nail will instantly vaporize the concentrate, which you'll then inhale through the dab rig.
It's important to note that dabbing can be quite potent, especially for those who are new to cannabis concentrates. It's recommended that you start with a small amount of concentrate and work your way up slowly, as the effects can be much more intense than smoking flower
Do I get different kinds of dab?
Wax: Wax is a type of cannabis concentrate that has a soft, pliable texture, similar to that of earwax. It's typically made by blasting cannabis plant material with a solvent, such as butane or propane, to extract the cannabinoids and terpenes. The resulting extract is then purged of any residual solvent to create a waxy concentrate that's rich in THC and other compounds.
Shatter: Shatter is a type of cannabis concentrate that has a hard, glass-like consistency. It's made using the same extraction process as wax, but is purged for a longer period of time to remove as much residual solvent as possible. This results in a highly potent concentrate that's usually over 80% THC.
Rosin: Rosin is a type of cannabis concentrate that's made by applying heat and pressure to cannabis plant material, such as flower or hash. This causes the resin glands to burst, releasing the cannabinoids and terpenes, which are then collected and pressed into a sticky, sap-like concentrate. Because it's made without the use of solvents, rosin is considered a "solventless" concentrate.
Budder: Budder is a type of cannabis concentrate that has a soft, buttery texture, similar to that of whipped butter. It's made using the same extraction process as wax, but is whipped during the purging process to create a light, fluffy texture. Budder is known for its high potency and rich, complex flavor profile.
Crumble: Crumble is a type of cannabis concentrate that has a crumbly, dry texture, similar to that of feta cheese. It's made using the same extraction process as wax, but is purged for a shorter period of time to retain more moisture. This results in a concentrate that's easier to handle and use than wax or shatter.
Honeycomb: Honeycomb is a type of cannabis concentrate that has a honeycomb-like texture, with a light, airy consistency. It's made using the same extraction process as wax, but is whipped during the purging process to create a light, fluffy texture. Honeycomb is known for its sweet, floral aroma and high potency. |
