Top 3 Ways to Enjoy Your Wax Without a Dab Rig

With applications in both recreational and medicinal use, cannabis wax is a potent concentrate that contains as much as 90% Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). It is extracted by exposing the marijuana leaves to a chemical or natural solvent, which separates the THC from the plant matter. What comes out is a viscous golden wax that can be smoked via a variety of methods, chief of which is by using what is known as a dab rig. 

Dab rigs come in various shapes and sizes, but will usually be used the same way. Differences usually come with the shape of the base or chamber, such as the bubble dab rig, which uses a sphere chamber, or the beaker dab rig, with its flat bottom and conical body. Whatever shape or form, long-time smokers agree: the dab rig is best for enjoying a potent wax because of its efficiency and ability to eliminate harsh smoke. 

But what if you happen to be in a situation where you are in possession of a particularly potent wax, but you have no dab rig to use it with? Don’t worry, we have you covered! Here are three ways to enjoy your wax without a dab rig. 

Vape it

Without a tried and tested dab rig, the closest experience that you can get will be by using any vaporizer that you have lying around and replacing the e-liquid with the heated wax. Some people may even prefer vaporizers to dab rigs since they are much more inconspicuous and are sold even in states where cannabis is illegal. 

Another selling point of vaporizers or dab pens is the fact that they don’t actually burn material—they just heat the liquid enough to turn it into an inhalable vapor. Proponents of vaporizers claim that this makes it safer than smoking joints, but can still be just as potent as dab rigs. 

Eat it

No, we don’t mean grabbing a pinch of your wax and just straight up putting it in your mouth. Aside from it not being particularly tasty, the wax needs some help from a process called decarboxylation, which is essentially just applying low heat to convert the tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA) into THC. This is similar to the heating action of a dab rig or vape, but instead of turning the wax into vapor or smoke, the wax is maintained in its semi-solid form before it’s added into cookie dough or brownies. 

Roll it up

Smoking wax directly is not the best way to consume your weed wax but is nevertheless enjoyable. Like rolling a good old joint, you can use rolling papers, take a few herbs and concentrates, and add in a few pinches of the wax before rolling it up. The result is an experience that isn’t as harsh as smoking a joint, but not as smooth as a real dab. 

This method is also not very efficient, because there is no way to control the fire once it’s lit. If you end up with this method, try to use crumble wax instead of a buddy or resin to avoid having a sticky mess. Crumble wax will also stay on your joint better and will not melt into your fingers. 

Conclusion

There are no two ways about it, potent wax is best enjoyed with a dab rig. However, if you find yourself in a pinch, the three methods we described above can still provide you with a nice high. Just make sure to get your own dab rig as soon as possible for an enjoyable and no-compromise experience.
