In the past few months, marijuana concentrates like rosin, shatter, or live resin have taken over the industry. Concentrates sales have seen a boom since cannabis was legalized in many states.
Although dabbing is a great way to consume cannabis, it isn't always the most convenient or discrete. It can also prove difficult for beginners to learn the basics. You will need several components to get the most from experience. You can do more elaborate setups with dabbing, but this article is meant to show beginners how to get started.
Here is a collection of essential dab accessories that can be used to consume concentrates.
Dab Rig
The most important piece of your dabbing equipment is the rig. This is because it holds the concentrate's vapor after heating. Dab rigs can come in many shapes and sizes. However, a smaller chamber will give you a more flavorful experience.
Prices for dab rigs can vary depending on what you're looking to purchase. Many rigs are also made by local artists, so be sure to look around if this is something you are interested in.
Dabber, aka Dab Tool
A durable dab device is necessary to extract your concentrate from a nail head or banger without burning your fingers. People often choose stainless or titanium steel tools because they are durable and resistant to heat. There are plenty of other tools out there with more intricate designs.
Dab Torches
Heat is required to heat concentrates. The dab torch is used most frequently by dabbers. It would help to choose a torch that will not overheat your cannabis. Make sure you choose a high-quality torch that is refillable, reliable, and easy to use.
Cleaning Gear
To get the best flavor, clean your dab rig. You can use cleaning caps to seal openings. Caps come in a range of sizes, shapes, and colors. Be sure to select one that is comfortable, stretches well, and doesn't easily slip off.
Other important cleaning items you should have on hand include cotton buds, pipe cleaners, and sealable plastic bags.
Reclaim
For economic reasons, many novices love collecting reclaim. You can save dab concentrate, keep your rig cleaner, and get a claim collector. This handy tool allows you to take excess concentration from your nail and reuse it later.
Most reclaim catchers cost less and can be attached to any dab rig. By reclaiming your concentrate, your money is reclaimed. You end up buying fewer products in the long run. An added benefit is a lower frequency of cleaning your rig.
Storage Gear
Get a storage unit to help keep your accessories and dab-rig organized. Consider purchasing a sturdy bag with enough padding to keep your rig safe and secure. Another option is to use a smell-proof storage container or bag. Many include holders for storing dabbers.
Assembling a Dab Kit
Although proper dabbing is more expensive than other methods, most of the equipment can be found at reasonable costs and does not always have to be purchased together. While personal preferences are important in selecting the right equipment for you, small additions can make all the difference.
