Dabbing is a very popular way to consume cannabis these days. But what is it, and how do you dab cannabis concentrates? Dabs are made from extracting cannabinoids from the cannabis plant to create a concentrated version of it. Dabbing is also a verb, which means to vape concentrates on a heated nail. Cannabis extracts are much more potent, with a higher THC level than cannabis.

Choosing Your Cannabis Concentrate

Concentrates come in many forms. There’s shatter, wax, oil, crumble, and many others. Generally, oil is not compatible with a dab rig, so shatter, wax, or crumble are usually the best options.

1. 
   

   Shatter: A glass-like concentrate that breaks easily.

   
   


2. 
   

   Wax: A softer, more malleable concentrate.

   
   


3. 
   

   Crumble: A brittle, crumbly concentrate that's easy to work with.

Choosing a Dab Nail

Dabbing is all about heat. Dab nails, the item you heat to vaporize your dabs, come in many materials. Each dab nail holds heat differently:

• 
  

  Titanium: Heats up very quickly and is very durable.

  
  


• 
  

  Quartz: Offers a cleaner flavor and heats in 30 seconds to a minute.

  
  


• 
  

  Ceramic: Has the best heat retention but is less durable.

  
  

Whichever dab nail you choose is up to you. None are “better” than the other, but they offer different features.

Portioning

Any legal concentrate will have the potency percentages printed on the material. However, if you’re buying from a dealer, it can be more of a guessing game. Dabs are very strong, so it’s important to “start low and go slow.” You can always get higher, but you can’t get less high.

Some users try to weigh out the dabs, but sometimes this can be hard as dabs melt easily and become sticky. General advice dictates that you start out with the smallest amount possible and slowly increase until you reach your desired state.

How to Dab: Step-by-Step Guide

Following the steps below will provide an optimal dabbing experience.

Step One: Heat Your Dab Nail

Turn on your torch and directly aim the flame at the nail. Heating time varies based on the type of dab nail you are using. A quartz nail heats from 30 seconds to a minute. A titanium nail can heat in about 15 seconds.

Step Two: Turn Off the Torch

Your nail now needs to cool a little bit. The temperature at which you hit your dab hinges on how long you let the nail cool. Generally, you’re not going to want a nail to cool longer than 45 seconds for a quartz nail and 10 seconds for titanium.

Step Three: Apply Heat and Inhale

Press your nail to the concentrate and inhale slowly. Users find it helpful to rotate your dab tool, so you don’t waste any concentrate.

Step Four: Use a Carb Cap

Once your concentrate is almost gone, cover the dab with a carb cap to regulate the airflow. This will conserve your heat retention and allow you to not waste any of the concentrate.
