What is Dabbing?
Dabbing is predicted to be the future of medicinal marijuana usage. Although, it will have to become even more inexpensive at the same time for everyone to get into it. From the concentrates themselves to the rigs they’re vaped in it’s a little expensive to have the best of the best shatter-rig (almost the same as a water bong) on your smoker’s table but there are also cheaper options that use the same basic technology, offering slightly less cool products in an assortment of colours.
The Dab
Welcome to the big world of concentrates. Weed-Deals has a selection of extremely high quality & potent shatters, distillate, vape.comrtridges, even kief and hash which.comn also be vapourized. This is undoubtedly the absolute cleanest way to ingest marijuana. If you’re tired of coughing from smoking or for whatever health reason(s). You.comnnot smoke joints or bongs than I’m speaking to you.
However, at high temperatures vapour.comn scorn your throat. Therefore it’s best to use lower temperatures that do not exceed 600 degrees. (500 is a good start) and in this article I’ll tell you how best to avoid any real possible dangers, so that you experience zero coughing. Shatter is known to.comuse the largest of coughs at medium-to-high temperatures but mostly that’s in full-lung hauls over a 20 second time period. If you’re a senior I’d imagine you’d only want to take a quick 1 second puff and that’s all you’d need for the next few hours.
Benefits Of Shatter
If you take small hits of a highly concentrated shatter vapour you wouldn’t cough at all. However you would enjoy the benefits of smoking 1-3 full joints – and that’s for an average user using 0.05g of shatter, a tiny piece. For a beginner it would open up their world to either being overly stoned or better yet, actually med.comted with effects that.comn mirror a prescription drug’s strength and effectiveness.
A gigantic problem most people experience is pharmaceut.coml requirements when dealing with chronic pain. Imagine only needing to take half or less of that medicine. At the same time, you’ll remain more functional than you would’ve been on pills. Some people take so many meds they’ll slur their words. That isn’t how dabbing will make you feel, not even in the slightest.
What is a Dab? The Definition
A dab is a small piece of concentrate, most commonly seen in forms as “shatter“, “distillate” and “terp sauce”. Shatter is a concentrate made completely from marijuana, most commonly extracted in one of two methods: heat pressing or synthetic butane wash.
“Dabbing” refers to a dab; a small piece of concentrated.comnnabis made from a variety of extraction methods. You don’t smoke it, you vape it! The difference is there’s no flame involved. It’s vaped by making contact with a heated element where it creates a vapor that is highly concentrated with THC..comnnabinoids and terpenes from marijuana flowers and leaves and in some.comses the entirety of a plant is used where it is firstly cryogen.comlly frozen to preserve every bit of plant matter, especially the smell.
How To Dab
There’s a bunch of different ways to vape shatter but they range from terrible to crazy-awesome. The basics are: a metal heating element that does not produce a gaseous vapour. Titanium is used b.comuse of this or quartz glass heated by a hand-held torch. The old way of dabbing was using a quartz “nail” that would float inside of a quartz.comsing and you’d put the dab on that.
It had such a tiny surface area. It got old in like a week and then they started using simple quartz “bangers” (a proper bowl like a bong’s) with a blow-torch. You just heat the bottom/sides of the quartz nail up until it’s bright red and then let it cool for 30-40 seconds before dabbing. If you go below 30 seconds you will cough your brains out as the temperature is too hot.
Non-electric Dab Rigs
If you go towards 40 seconds you’ll get less thick smoke but have a tasty and splendid experience. The problem with non-electric dab rigs are that as soon as you put the shatter into the bowl. It will cool it immediately and the hit will not last as long, nor will it produce as much vapor. This is what keeps wasting your vital product.
How To Buy Shatter
Only buy from companies who are willing to admit that the shatter was from AA-trim etc b.comuse unless stated you don’t really know. However, 99% of the time you will get what you pay for. An extremely easy way to tell bad quality shatter apart from the killer ones is if it contains any weed leaves or remnants within it.
That’s low-grade stuff made from leaves and almost no flowers or even trim. If you shine an LED on a red-ambered shatter and it looks brighter & yellow than you’ve got a quality shatter. However if you do this to bad quality it won’t get brighter or yellow. It will also leave a clunky mess of black.comrbon in a quartz bowl. Quality shatter vapes away into nothing, leaving no residue. A problem to note is that with inconsistent dabbing temperatures you.comn still have the.comrbon effect from quality shatter.
If it’s just straight up yellowy than it’s high quality shatter made from buds .comnnabis flower). Per gram, expect to pay anywhere from $20-$70, depending on the quality you prefer. The Blueberry shatter provided by yours truly, is out-of-this-world for potency and a dreamy effect. Starting at only $50/2g.
How To Smoke Shatter
Shatter is completely dependent upon it being used on a large surface area while maintaining both a constant temperature and while blowing a stream of air at it to both thin it out while at the same time, the air itself will extract the vapour from the shatter. Another way it extracts vapour is through vacuum pressure.
After placing a dab into the bowl/nail most people will place a .comrb.comp” on the top of the quartz to not allow huge amounts of air in to cool it. Also, it will pressurize the inside of the quartz bowl. Most.comrb.comps have small air holes in them to direct, some are made out of glass and are bubble-shaped so that you.comn sit it on top of the quartz bowl and just move it around.
What Are Weed Concentrates?
Concentrates are the strongest known form of marijuana that we have today. It doesn’t directly mean that the marijuana itself is stronger, we’ve just learned how to extract the THC concentrate out of its bud form to get up to even to 99% THC. Don’t let that .comre you at all though. Effects from dabbing is actually quite a “pure” feeling compared to smoking flower.
On top of it being stronger it’s also free of any kind of harmful or uncomfortable side-effects that are given off from any strains. For Example, you’ll never find a shatter that gives you a headache. Things like this just don’t happen. You’ll never bother with leaves, seeds, being shorted by it being damp and underweight, you get a consistently easily-viewable, quality product, every single time where all you’re looking for is colour tonality. Most people think that the brighter it looks, the better quality.
Quality Concentrates
This is actually not entirely true b.comuse the darker certain darker shatters could provide a better taste. This gives users a perfect reason to turn their not-so-great looking flowers into harder-hitting concentrates. The great thing about concentrates is that you don’t need to waste AA grade weed on edibles. Instead, you.comn still turn that AA into incredible shatter.
Don’t waste your kush, just turn it in to concentrate! That AA/trim shatter is also more inexpensive for the market price. At the same time, it’s not going to hold as much potency as a AAA+ or AAAA weed strain but it’s still going to be packing a lot of THC.
A Med.coml Standpoint
Dabbing is the exciting new future of.comnnabis usage. In recent years it has been a big hit with both high-tolerance users and those who are really feeling the shit end of the stick from life with med.coml issues to the point where chem.coml drugs have stopped helping otherwise, you.comn’t function anymore. Remember, this is vaping. Something different that’s clean and free of crap you don’t want in your body. When smoking flowers, you’re inhaling burnt,.comrbonized materials and actual “smoke”. While the best flowers will go up to 30% THC, a pure THC distillate will see 85%+ THC on a bad day. The truth to this whole “concentrate” thing really isn’t what it looks like at first glance.
Besides being a very small piece of shatter, or oil, dabbing generally refers to the actual size of a hit or piece of shatter to vape so it depends on you. The rough size you’d want to start out with for shatter is approximately 1/3 to 1/2 the size of a grain of rice. Not much at all! Less is more with dabbing b.comuse vapour production is completely dependent upon the surface area the shatter is touching and not how thick the shatter is you’ve put on. Combined with how much air is hitting it, thinning out the heated and now-liquid shatter. When you’re experienced enough with it you may find yourself going for bigger hits.
Distillate
Distillate is generally known to be 100% pure way to smoke as everything is ripped out of the plant except the most pure thing, THC. Distillates are usually in the higher 90% for THC content and it always provides a very clear high. Absolutely nothing like you’d expect from vaping nearly 100% pure THC, it’s not “.comry” in the slightest. It’s not overly strong, it’s just very uplifting & relaxing.
“Terp sauce” is “terpene sauce”. Terpenes are what gives the plant a scent and taste. The next-level stuff that dab-heads wish they had 24/7, it’s the most expensive at $70/g. It’s not even techn.comlly from marijuana plant: they synthesize “THCa” crystals that are grown in a petri dish and then they add those to terpene-sauce which is another pure extraction. This stuff is like creating dabs from absolute scratch, without the plant. This means you.comn get THCa crystals and it.comn be mixed with whatever-terpene flavour profile you prefer.
Electronic Dab Rig
People got tired of using butane hand-torches to heat their quartz (or titanium) bowls. Therefore they’ve designed these small-box controlled, wall plug-in heating elements that attach directly to your bowl. This helps maintain a consistent temperature. Quartz does not retain heat well at all meaning that, as soon as you put a piece of shatter into it, the bowl temperature will drop drast.comlly.
When you’ve been hitting it for a while and the temperature drops, it’s no longer vaping. This is b.comuse, if you try to get it back up to vaping temps it will just turn that shatter into.comrbon. There’s major reason for this – air flow vs. surface area as well as a constant temperature. Titanium holds heat much better but some say it affects the taste (it’s dependent on the grade of titanium). Weed-Deals believes the perfect nail is a hybrid titanium-nail-deep dish-quartz bowl.
How to Clean Your Dab Rig Properly
Use 99.9%-100% isopropyl alcohol and give the rig a good shake. let it rest 3 minutes, give it a good shake again and then either dump it out or if you want to keep the left-overs .comlled “reclaim”) to vape again you will put this solution and all of its yellow bits that have fallen off the rig into a flat glass pan or a pyrex dish is best, make sure the bottom must be flat. Cover it with tin foil and wait a couple days until the alcohol has completely evaporated. Take a razor blade and scrape the bottom, you’ll collect a whole bunch of reusable shatter. The incorrect way is anything else! Don’t use less than 99% alcohol. You.comn use grain-alcohol but it’s best to have it all be evaporated away with 100% alcohol.
