Dabbing

Essential tools for perfect dabbing

What do you need for dabbing? See below.

Dab rig

A dab rig is similar to a bong, it is basically a hookah that consists of three basic parts: a mouthpiece, a chamber and a dab stud. It comes in many shapes and sizes, the choice is a matter of preference.

We have stylish silicone dab rigs The Eyce Sidecar, which can be used to dab oil, concentrates, resin, and even dried cannabis flowers. Choose from Winter, Jungle, Bang and Creature Green colour options.

Dabbing nail

A classic is the dabbing nail, which consists of a long neck and a flat platform or groove.

You heat the nail to a high temperature and then place your chosen substance on the heated platform and use the mouthpiece (a bubbler can be used) to inhale it. Nails must withstand repeated heating, so they are made of either ceramic, quartz, or titanium. The nails are extremely hot, up to 600 °C. Be careful when handling and always wait until all pieces have cooled down.

You will also need a small hand-held butane torch, which will heat the dab nail to the correct temperature for dabbing.

Dabs

Dabs are concentrated substances, which are made by extracting the active ingredients from herbs. Concentrates are made by extracting CBD, THC and other cannabinoids from flowers using various solvents, producing a sticky residue whose form varies depending on the extraction method and solvents used.

The term dab has come to refer to all concentrates in a colloquial sense - because a small dab is all that is needed to feel the effects.

Depending on the consistency, they are also commonly referred to as honey wax, shatter, budder, crumble, honeycomb, crystals ,sugar wax, Ice o Later and others.

The names of the dabs are based on the texture. The texture is indicative of how they were created. All of these substances are sticky and vary in colour – yellow, amber, brown and white.

We carry premium dabs from brands like Happease, Hemnia, Golden Buds, Eighty8, Nature Cure, Enecta and Euphoria.

CBD concentrate can help relieve pain and inflammation, improve sleep quality, promote skin health and contribute to overall mental well-being. CBD has no psychoactive effects.

For example, try:

• Happease - Extract Tropical Sunrise Shatter 58% CBD
• Happease - Mountain River Sugar Wax Extract, 62% CBD
• Happease - Extract Jungle Spirit Crumble, 90% CBD
• Happease - Extract Lemon Tree Terpsolate, 97% CBD

• Enecta CBG Crystals (99%), 500mg
• Nature Cure CBD Crumbles 85%, 1700 mg
• Golden Buds Super Lemon Haze Crumble 80%, 800mg CBD

The dabs are heated on a hot surface, usually on the nail, and the vapour is then inhaled.

Vaporizers for dabbing

Dab pens and vaporizers are great for beginners and will greatly simplify the experience. They are usually more expensive than vape pens with cartridges, but give you more flexibility in dosing.

Dab vape pens are the easiest way to enjoy the intensity of cannabis extracts.

For example, reach for portable vaporizers like the G Pen Connect vaporizer, the Linx Ares vaporizer (for wax concentrates), or the Puffco Peak Pro vaporizer, which is suitable for beginners, or the Linx Apollo vaporizer, which is popular among gourmands and concentrate lovers.

Dabber

When dabbing, you can't do without a special tool – the dabber, which is a small spoon or hook. It comes in many shapes, sizes and combinations and is used to scoop up the substance and apply it to the vaporizer or to a heated nail.

In our range you will find a large selection of special tools that make working with sticky concentrates a real breeze. The Oil Black Leaf' dabber is made of stainless steel and is used to separate dabs and place them on a nail or in the atomizer of a vape pen type vaporizer. There are different lengths to choose from, such as 77, 115, 126 and 177 and more.

You can also buy a dab straw for 510 threaded cartridges, the Dexso / Oil Black Leaf Hot Knife Dabber in various colours, the Ryot Multi-purpose tool made of surgical steel and the Puffco Electric Hot Knife - Onyx and many more including a silicone pad.

Other accessories

The bubbler is also a popular inhalation method as it provides a link between dabbing and a cool experience. An attachment is attached to vaporizers or dabbers, allowing you to inhale cooler and filtered vapour.

Don't forget about proper storage, too, to keep the active ingredients at full strength and prevent them from deteriorating. Keep dabs in a storage container in a cool, dry place, out of direct sunlight – only then will they retain their unique properties for as long as possible.
