Dab With It: Setting up for a Dab Hit for Your Next 420

From what was once only a highly-regulated plant that was smoked to have a hell of a good time, Cannabis has since then evolved into a product with a dynamic range of uses. This was once only seen in movies as those green leaves stored in Ziploc bags or rolled into joints, but nowadays, it comes in multiple regulated forms, such as in oils, waxes, and creams. The practical application of Cannabis has widened and is slowly starting to be seen as a valid form of alternative treatment.

Dabs are a new kind of Cannabis-based product that has become a convenient method to enjoy a high-strength dose of cannabinoids, in a shorter amount of time. No longer do you have to spend minutes rolling joints and slowly smoking them, you can literally wake and bake, and get to work ASAP.

The Setup For Using Dabs

Using dabs requires the use of a setup pieced together with a dab rig, a banger, a dabber, a carb cap, and a torch to heat it up. While this may seem like a lot of items just to get a hit, this is really no different than your traditional bong-ripping session. As compared to your old-school bongs, however, these dab rigs are smaller than water pipes and have a lower water filtration level. 

A banger is like a bucket that slides into the dab rig’s stem, wherein it is heated to turn the dabs into an inhalable vapor hit. Quartz bangers are newer technologies compared to the old-school titanium nail, as the newer tech preserves the flavor better and are less expensive to produce. 

Dabs For Days

While traditional bowls require more goods to get a decent hit, dab concentrates are extremely potent and require less material to consume. While you might have seen some people on social media taking a monolithic dab hit for their first time, we highly recommend you do not do this. Start with a small amount on your dabber to have a good time, and not be out like a light on your first hit. 

Heat The Dab And Wait

Using a butane torch, heat the banger for about 20 to 45 seconds—depending on the thickness—or until it reaches a faint red glow. Lower temperatures deliver the dab hit at a fuller flavor and are just as effective, so go through trial-and-error to find the best for your use. Use your phone’s timer to deliver the sweet spot of heat to the banger to get it right. 

Dab And Cap

As soon as the surface of the banger has reached the predicted appropriate temperature, you will start to see the dabs in the banger start to melt and boil. This means it is time to take the hit, so start inhaling once you see this happening. Clear quartz is helpful in determining how much of the dabs you placed are still within the bucket. Next, remove the dabber and place a carb cap on top of the banger, which will then continue to vaporize the concentrate. 

The carb cap makes sure that the materials are completely consumed by reducing the air pressure found inside the banger, which then raises the temperatures and directs airflow. 

Conclusion

While this whole process may seem daunting and a lot of work, trust us when we say that dabbing is the new age of Cannabis use. For what the dabs are worth, you can get a better bang for your buck, and a higher high with just a little bit of stock. If you are a first-time dabber, start slow and small, because this Cannabis product will definitely knock you out in higher concentrations.
