Vaporizing dabs is much smoother than smoking herb, so less diffusion is required. But for those of you who want a heavily diffused Dab Rigs dab rig, we have those too. You can find dozens of vapor rigs in every shape and size imaginable here at The Dab Lab.
This disturbance makes sure to get the most out of the highly concentrated cannabis products. The term “dab rig” refers to all of the equipment that is used when dabbing weed concentrates like hash and rosin. While they can vary in size, smaller is generally better for efficiency and effect. Regular maintenance of a dab rig includes replacing the nail or banger as needed, and checking the seal between the base and the downstem to ensure it is airtight. It is also important to keep the rig dry and away from extreme temperatures to prevent cracking or warping.
It’s best to opt for the one perfect for dabbing concentrates anywhere, anytime. There are various styles and materials for dab rigs to choose from so be careful when you are selecting products and make sure that your criteria and needs are precisely met. Many glass dab rigs also contain percs, as the vapor from dabs is much more concentrated and can be harsher than normal cannabis smoke. Percs in dab rigs vary, from honeycomb-style percs to showerhead, tree, and turbine percs. On the other hand, dab rigs are much smaller and way less fancy. Since there is no plant material being combusted, there is no need for a bunch of percolators or extra water filtration.
Dabbing is quickly becoming the first choice for smokers due to the availability of legal herbs, waxes, oils, and concentrates for a wonderfully varied smoking experience. Dab rigs, or vapor rigs, are water pipes designed for vaporizing dabs (oil extracted from a plant). Typically dab rigs are much smaller than water pipes designed for smoking herbs.
If the vapor is too cold, it’ll solidify before you can inhale it, covering the inside of your glass with wasted concentrate and robbing you of a dab. A smaller rig ensures quick airflow and a faster cooling time, so the vapor moves and cools quickly glass bongs but can’t sit long enough to cool. Keeping your rig (and especially your dab nail) clean is essential to a healthy dabbing experience. You’ll want to make sure you q-tip a banger nail after each dab to extend the life of your quartz banger nail.
Learning how to appreciate the differences between different glass pipe and different concentrates is key to dabbing. An infrared temperature gun can help refile the process, but always use trial and error. Remember there is no set rule for how to achieve the optimum nail temp. Different nails heat up and cool at different rates, and cannabis concentrates such as hash or rosin each vaporise at different temperatures. These little balls of greatness disturb the oils during the vaporisation process. Typically made from glass or quarts, terp pearls whizz around the banger when the dabber inhales.
Nails come in several styles and materials and may be purchased separately or sold with the rig. If buying a nail separately, always make sure the size and “gender” of the attachment fit your current rig or glass pipe. Some nails come with a universal or adjustable fit, while others are one-dimensional. There is nothing criminal about owning the equipment in and of itself. However, the dabs themselves may or may not be legal depending on where you live. If you live in a weed-legal place where cannabis concentrates are allowed, then it’s fine to possess dabs.
Smoking herbs will give a whole different smell than when you’re smoking concentrates. Smoking through a dab rig will give you a different feeling than when you’re smoking herbs with a bong. Most dab rig users will say that the feeling you get from dabbing is more intense. The intensity comes from the higher amount of THC in concentrates compared to herbs. If you’ve never smoked a dab rig before, it’s best to start slowly. Concentrates are known to have immediate effects when you’re smoking them, and they may strike you.
