5 Tips and Tricks to Improve your Dabbing Experience

Dabbing and the use of dab rigs is a fairly specialized way to consume cannabis and its related products. It involves a process of isolating and concentrating the key ingredients in cannabis plants to produce more intense sensations and experiences. 

Getting the hang of your beaker dab rig or your 18mm dab rig can take some time, but with the right knowledge, you can gain the skills much more quickly than if you tried to discover all of it on your own. Luckily, our dabbing experts have created this list of tips and tricks to improve and optimize the dabbing experience for anyone who wants to try it. 

1. Protect your concentrates

The thing about concentrates is that they are oily and slimy. Touching these oils with your bare skin can also contaminate the oils. Anything from the natural oils in your skin to the bacteria and mites living on it can alter the experience. It also might help to use a clean dabbing tool when handling the concentrates. 

One important thing to remember is to keep the integrity of your concentrates. As such, it is crucial to follow the storage instructions from the manufacturer so that your concentrates don’t spoil, melt, expire, or become contaminated. 

2. Use a dedicated dab rig

Using an attachment for your water pipe is definitely a viable option for smoking concentrate oils, but using that pipe for smoking dry herbs, might alter the experience. It can taint the clean flavor dabbing is known for, so make sure to go back to your dedicated beaker dab rig or 18 mm dab rig for a consistent experience.

3. Think about a carburetor cap (carb cap) 

A carburetor cab restricts the amount of airflow to the nail in your rig, allowing you to concentrate the oil even more with every hit. By capping your nail, you lower the pressure in your rig, altering the flavors and experience of every hit. 

4. Use a quartz nail

Quartz is the most popular material used to create the nail. It offers the cleanest and purest experience among titanium, glass, and other options. It is also more durable than glass, capable of preventing cracks in your beaker dab rig.

5. Clean your dab rig regularly

As you use your dab rig, more and more residue will build up in its various parts. This residue can negatively affect the experience of every hit, so it is important to clean your dab regularly. The more frequently you clean your rig, the easier it will be to keep it that way. 

Another concern is that if these residues are left uncleaned too long, they might end up permanently staining and tainting your rig’s quality. 

Final thoughts

There are plenty of ways you can upgrade your rig and your experience. These are just some examples, but they are some of the most common ways users try to tailor their experience to their preferences. With a little creativity and the right tools, you may very well find the way to dab that is perfect for you.
