A dab is a small portion of cannabis concentrate that is vaporized on a hot surface and inhaled. "Dabbing" is thus its own method of consumption - more concentrated and aromatic than smoking flowers. Instead of burning, the concentrate is only vaporized, which brings the flavor to the forefront.
How does dabbing work?
When dabbing, you heat a quartz or glass bowl - the banger or glass nail - and use a dab tool to place a small piece of concentrate into it. The vapor rises and is filtered through the water of an oil rig. The correct temperature is important: too hot burns the aroma, too cold does not vaporize cleanly.
Why do so many people dab?
Concentrates are significantly more potent and flavorful than flowers. Anyone who wants to fully experience the terpenes - i.e. the aromatic compounds - can hardly avoid dabbing. In addition, the smoke is clean and smooth at the right temperature. No wonder a whole world of devices has developed around dabbing.
What do I need for dabbing?
The basic equipment consists of an oil rig, a banger or nail, a dab tool, and a heat source (torch or E-nail). A carb cap retains heat and improves vapor.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is dabbing stronger than a bong?
As a rule, yes - concentrates have a significantly higher active ingredient content than flowers. Dose accordingly small.
What is the ideal temperature?
So-called low-temp dabs (around 150–230 °C) taste best and preserve the terpenes. An E-nail maintains the temperature exactly.
