A low-temp dab is a dab done at a low temperature. Instead of burning the concentrate on a glowing banger, it is gently vaporized – for significantly more flavor and a smoother hit.
Why is temperature so crucial?
The terpenes – the aromatic compounds – are delicate. At too high temperatures, they burn, making the dab taste harsh and burnt. At low temperatures, they are preserved, and you taste the full aroma of the concentrate. Less is indeed more here.
How do you find the right temperature?
Roughly speaking, the low-temp range is significantly below glowing. In practice, you heat the banger with the torch and then let it cool down (a timer helps) before adding the concentrate. It's even easier with a cold start or with an e-nail, which maintains the temperature precisely.
A Carb Cap is mandatory
At low temperatures, not everything vaporizes on its own – the carb cap lowers the pressure and retains heat, ensuring complete and clean vaporization even at low temperatures. Without a cap, too much remains at low heat.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does a low-temp dab taste better?
Because the delicate terpenes don't burn at low temperatures.
How do I keep the temperature constant?
The easiest way is with an e-nail; otherwise, use a timer and cooling time or a cold start.
Do I need a carb cap?
Yes – it's practically indispensable for low-temp dabs.
