3 Key Tips for Cough-Free Dabbing: Our Guide

In the world of pot smoking, a few sounds are definitive of the culture and the experiences one can have when taking a fat rip from a bong or dab rig.

From the sound of a torch doing what it does best to the sound of bubbling water during a hit, there are all sorts of unique noises that can perk up any pothead’s ears once they spring up. Although there is no shortage of “eargasmic” sounds that anyone can look forward to when toking up and getting high, there are a few that yield the opposite effect—coughing being the most prominent of them.

A Cacophony of Coughs

If you’re getting into dabs for the first time and are exploring the different highs you can experience, you’ve probably spent quite a bit of time coughing your lungs out.

Compared to the average pipe, bong, or vaporizer set-up, dabbing provides a more intense experience because it uses concentrates with significantly higher levels of THC and CBD. When approached wrong, even a half-second hit from a dab rig can start a coughing fest that can put you off from the idea of using concentrates at all.

How to Minimize Your Coughing Fits

Seeing that concentrates are notorious for causing even the most serial stoners to hack up a lung, you must take the necessary precautions to avoid the same fate. Fortunately, it’s possible to have a smooth experience with your M&M Dab Rig (and do it easily) by simply following these key tips and tricks:

Tip #1: Remember This Rule—AHWA: Always Have Water Around

Wanna know a bona fide secret to have a coughing fit every time you dab? Here’s the answer: drink water.

When you take a hit without drinking water beforehand or keeping yourself hydrated, you will end up irritating your throat, making it difficult to take even a small hit. If you want to avoid a coughing fit from the get-go, it’s recommended that you take sips of room temperature water before and after your hits to keep your throat lubricated.

Tip #2: Take Deep Breaths Before and After

If you don’t want to embarrass yourself or end up with a sore throat when dabbing concentrates, it’s ideal that you start using breathing to your advantage.

You see, even decent-sized dabs can be a bit overwhelming for even the most iron-clad of lungs because there is much more vapor being processed, especially when compared to a regular bong or pipe smoke. By taking a deep breath before and after you dab, you’ll be able to prepare your lungs for a more potent hit so you can manage the smoke that’s coming in!

Tip #3: Invest in a Quartz Banger

The one thing some smokers fail to understand about smooth dab rig hits is that the beginning point makes a big difference.

When the nail you use isn’t thoroughly cleaned or simply faulty, you will spark a chain reaction wherein a bad, unclean burn turns into a terrible hit that will take you to Cough City. However, you won’t have to worry about messing with bad burns and originating points because investing in a Quartz Banger from M&M Tech will help you get the cleanest starts!

Conclusion

Although dabbing itself is considered as the supreme form of enjoying cannabis and all things THC, the idea of coughing, no matter how experienced you are, can be quite intimidating (and embarrassing). With the help of the three key tips mentioned above, you can ensure that you only have smooth and cough-free hits!
