Our Easy, Beginner's Guide to Help You Dab Like a Pro

In the good old days, dabbing was the talk of the town as it was a mysterious and unique way for cannabis users to enjoy their favorite strain. But within the past few years, dabbing has gained momentum, and more people are interested in learning how to do it themselves for better smoking sessions. 

However, even with its popularity, many smokers have still yet to try dabbing. For this reason, the curious are heading to shops and buying dab rig bundles to head start their dabbing journey. 

If you're curious about dabbing and want to dip your toes in this type of smoking experience, keep reading. Here's our ultimate beginner's guide on how to start dabbing like a pro.

Tip #1: Avoid Taking Huge Dabs

When you dab, you get a much different effect compared to smoking. Dabbing produces a stronger high since concentrates tend to be more potent than the herbs themselves. And because of this, taking huge dabs may lead to undesired experiences. 

You can avoid dabbing too much by using smaller dabs to help control your intake, which works best for first-timers. Once you've got the groove and found the perfect strength for you, dabbing will be more natural.

Tip #2: Use Lower Temperatures

One of the most common complaints of people who dab is chest discomfort, abhorrent tastes, or sudden loss of balance. These effects are usually caused by dabbing at high temperatures. 

Understandably, the main goal of dabbing is to heat the nail until it's hot. However, the critical step here is allowing it to cool because when the nail is too hot, the concentrate blazes up, giving you a horrible inhalation process. 

Besides that, too much heat can burn your concentrate, eliminating your compounds' notable flavors and diminishing its unique smell.

Tip #3: Using Gloves Can Avoid Contamination

Since concentrates have a slimy, slippery, honey-like texture, touching the product can transfer bacteria from your skin to the oil, and this is something you want to avoid. The best way to prevent cross-contamination is by protecting your oils and skin by wearing gloves.

Tip #4: Clean Your Device Regularly

If you want to get strong hits, the key to clean and potent hits is using a clean dab rig. When you frequently clean your dab rig bundle, it is easier to maintain it in the long run since you'll regularly eliminate oil buildup and grime. 

Tip #5: Use the Right Accessories

Some dab rig accessories are necessary for dabbing, such as a dabbing tool, nail, and torch. On the other hand, other accessories protect your rigs from wear and tear like minor cracks. 

For storage, you want to ensure that you place your device on a silicone mat to prevent any cracks from developing or spreading. This also reduces the transfer of pet fur, which can ultimately affect your dabbing experience. 

The Bottom Line: Dabbing Like a Pro Is Easy When You Follow These Tips

Dabbing, especially for beginners, can be intimidating at first, but if you follow our tips and enjoy your favorite concentrates with a group of your friends, you'll have fantastic smoking sessions every time.
