Buying a Dab Rig? Watch Out for These Mistakes.

 As people become more aware of the harmful effects of inhaling smoke, they are on the lookout for alternative ways to enjoy the benefits of different dry herbs.

Vaping is one such example. However, a new phenomenon called dabbing is quickly gaining popularity as well.

Dabbing is about inhaling vapor that is produced by heating up herb particles. If you have tried dabbing and had a great experience, may be you are willing to invest in your own dab rig.

However, before you proceed, you must first familiarize yourself with how dab rigs work, their benefits, and the common mistakes that people make when buying dab rigs so that you don’t make one.

What Are Dab Rigs?

Dab rigs are water pipes that come with a male end joint and dome. They produce a long lasting high.

Unlike other smoking mechanisms, dab rigs aren’t made to catch anything on fire. A torch heats up their nails and then the concentrated extracts of various herbs are dabbed over it. Soon when they get heated, they create enough vapors for smokers to inhale.

Dabbing – The New Sensation

The way you dab varies according to the style of rig you use. It is easy if you have tried it a few times. The word “dabbing” is used because you actually dab small amounts of concentrated extracts of herbs onto the rig from which it produces vapor. Here are the tools that you need to dab, followed by the dabbing process.

  • Dab tool
  • Nail
  • Concentrates
  • Water pipe
  • Blow torch

You start by seasoning your nail first to ensure that it is free of all chemical remains from when it was manufactured. So, you blow the torch and wait till the nail turns red hot. You then spread concentrates of the herb over it and allow them to vaporize completely.

In the end, you put the nail into water using tongs. By repeating this process a few times, you are ready with flavorful dabs.

Benefits Of Using A Dab Rig

  • Style: Dab rigs offer a variety of styles for you to choose from. You can mix and match different components and end up with your own unique design.
  • Safety: Dab rigs are perfectly designed to keep you safe when dealing with fire and heat.
  • Convenience: They offer all that you need to have a great experience dabbing your favorite concentrate.
  • Smokers often invest in low-quality rigs that have poorly designed nails. This is why they waste awful amounts of concentrates because either the nail doesn’t get hot at all, or it gets too hot. And every dabber knows how frustrating it is to dab some concentrate and get little vapor that you cannot even inhale properly.
  • Many smokers buy small mouthpieces to take large hits while smoking flowers whereas wider mouthpieces are preferred for this purpose.
