If you’re graduating from smoking flowers to smoking wax or oil concentrates, a dab rig is the device for you. Though relatively similar to smoking with a bong, dab rigs have a unique anatomy that, when properly configured, can offer dozens of benefits that include the following. 

The Benefits of Dabbing

Delivering euphoric and powerful effects, dabbing can help relieve chronic pain and nausea using clean concentrates. They can even alleviate certain symptoms caused by depression or anxiety. Because dabbing eliminates the additives sometimes found in CBD, THC, and terpene products, it is a much safer method of cannabis consumption. When smoking with a bong, for example, burning the plant can create resin, which is completely eliminated when using a dab rig. 

What Makes a Quality Dab Session?

Whether you’re a cannabis beginner or expert, taking note of the elements that make up a good dab session can ensure you a quality experience every time. 

Supplies

It should go without saying that dab rigs are what make a dab session possible. At M&M Tech, we stock a massive selection of high-quality pieces and accessories that are vetted by experienced and amateur smokers at affordable prices. If you want to get a feel of a particular set-up, ask experienced friends for a taste. Other than a dab rig, it pays to become well-versed in the likes of dab nails and dab rig cleaners. 

Environment

Where you smoke can make just as much of an impact on your session as what you’re smoking and the device you’re using. If you’re dabbing for the first time, its effects can be overwhelming, so you’ll want to situate yourself in a space that is calming and comfortable. Pick a time and day during which you don’t have much on your plate and won’t have to rush to a meeting or dinner afterward. 

Temperature

If you’re an experienced vaper, you’re likely to be familiar with the horrors of a “cooked” drag. Heating your dab to a high temperature can produce larger clouds but leave your chest and lungs feeling burnt. If you’re a dab beginner, start at a relatively low temperature and adjust according to your tolerance and how you like your flavors to taste. 

Keep a jug of water or soda close by in case you accidentally overheat your dab nail. Remember that these can sear at up to 482C if you’re smoking with a blowtorch, so you’ll always want to have easy access to a glass of water or sink. 

Size

Stronger than herbs and flowers, dabs can often get you too high if you aren’t careful about the amount you smoke. As with any new experience, start small and slowly. Though you can’t overdose on cannabis, consuming too much of it can be an uncomfortable experience. 

Safety

To avoid overheating your piece and causing it to shatter, never heat up the rig directly. Focus on heating up the nail and refrain from touching the end of the rig to avoid burns. 

Cleanliness

The key to a lasting dab rig is keeping it clean. Removing unwanted toxins found in leftover dabs will ensure that your piece is constantly providing you with proper heating and cooling. Shop M&M Tech for oil rig cleaning gear that is specifically suited to your piece. 

Conclusion

Whether you’re onto your first, tenth, or hundredth dab, there are always methods of enhancing your sessions. Knowing every component that makes up a dab rig setup and how to use them will not only leave you with a quality high but ensure that you’re smoking safely.
