In the world of CBD Concentrates, âdabâ is a term used to describe a small amount of hemp extract. Because hemp extracts are so highly concentrated, a very small âdabâ of them is usually all that is needed to get the same effect as eating multiple CBD edibles or smoking a full joint of CBD Hemp Flower.
âDabbingâ is the term used to describe the actual process of consuming the âdabâ of CBD Concentrate material. In most cases this process involves the use of a glass water pipe called a âdab rigâ. These rigs have either a quartz or titanium attachment, usually called a banger, bucket, or nail, that is heated using a butane torch or an e-nail. Once heated, the âdabâ is placed inside the heated attachment using a âdab toolâ where it is vaporized. This vapor is filtered through the water as the user inhales through the glass dab rigâs mouthpiece.
Alternatively, a âdab penâ or a portable concentrate vaporizer can be used to dab CBD Concentrates.
WHAT DO I NEED TO START DABBING CBD DIAMONDS?
Dabbing CBD Concentrates for the first time can seem very complicated and overwhelming, but trust us, itâs not! Once you have all the proper dabbing essentials, you will be dabbing like a true concentrate connoisseur in no time!
HERE IS EVERYTHING YOU WILL NEED:
1. DAB RIG OR DAB PEN
A dab rig is essential for any serious concentrate connoisseur. These water pipes allow for cool water filtration of vapor, and if you purchase a smaller rig meant to preserve terpene profiles like those made by MJ Arsenal, you will enjoy better flavor compared to a dab pen or other methods of use.
Dab pens are better if you will mainly be using CBD Concentrates on the go or in situations where you need to be discreet about dabbing.
2. BUTANE TORCH OR E-NAIL
If you are going with a dab pen, you can skip to the next essential item. But if you are using a dab rig, you are going to need a heat source! The cheapest solution is a butane torch. Butane torches as the name implies are fueled by butane that can be purchased at pretty much any gas station these days. You want to make sure the butane torch itself is of high quality. Many torches out there are made with cheap materials and will not last very long. Sauce Warehouse carries high quality butane torches from trusted companies like Blazer Torches and Maven Torches. When using a torch, you may also want to invest in a small tabletop timer so you can time your dabs to be taken at the perfect temperature. Generally, you want to wait about 40-50 seconds after heating your banger until it is red hot.
E-nails are another option for heating your banger. These devices feature a controller box that plugs in to the wall and allows you to set a desired temperature to be maintained throughout your entire dab session. A coil that is attached to this controller box fits snugly around your banger to keep it at a consistent temperature. E-nails are good investments for those who dab daily and often, as buying butane to refill a torch can get costly when refills are needed frequently.
Sauce Warehouse has organization stations available for purchase that not only hold q-tips and isopropyl alcohol for cleaning your banger, but they also feature built in dab timers! These are perfect for keeping your dab sessions organized, clean, and enjoyable.
There are some cool new rigs out on the market now that feature a built-in temperature control system. These rigs are called âe-rigsâ. Popular brands like PuffCo make these e-rigs and they have become a big hit within the cannabis community. CBD Concentrates can be used in these rigs without the need for a butane torch or an e-nail. Most of these devices are chargeable with built in batteries like a cell phone.
3. DAB TOOLS
Dab tools are used to remove âdabsâ of CBD Concentrates from their containers and place them inside dab pens and heated bangers when using a dab rig. It is important to purchase only quality dab tools from trusted vendors as cheaper tools made overseas may contain toxic coatings that could potentially burn off into your concentrates when inhaling and cause health concerns. These tools are usually glass or stainless steel, any tools with odd coatings especially paint should be avoided at all costs.
There is a plethora of other Dabbing Accessories that you might eventually want to invest in, such as dab pads which are used to set dab rigs on, but the above accessories are the primary essentials that will allow you begin dabbing CBD Concentrates with ease.
