Your Guide To Taking The Perfect Dab

A lot of things go into making a perfect dab. You must get the technique, temperature, and timing right while using quality concentrates and a clean banger. But the only way to know a perfect dab is to experience one. 

How do You Take Dabs Like a Concentrate Connoisseur?

To get the best, tastiest hits from dabbing, you need to learn a few things. essentials. We have highlighted them below.

1. High-Quality Concentrates

The concentrate's quality relies on the initial material, the extraction method implemented, and how it is stored. Usually, superior concentrates are tested and approved by an independent laboratory.

We recommend:

• High-terpene full-spectrum extracts (HTFSE) 
• Traditional full-spectrum extracts (FSE) from a reputable company
• Whole-flower products
• High-quality solventless concentrates 

2. Prepare the Right Dab Tools.

With the concentrates sorted, next on the list is to get the right dabbing tools for the job. These include a dabber, carb cap, nail, and dab rig.

Dab Rig and Nail

Combining a quartz nail with a small dab rig will give you the optimal flavor. You can use giant bongs to cool and filter smoke when ripping some flower. But, dabbing gives you the best experience with the sweet milky vapor.

Dabbers

Don't touch the hard and costly concentrates with your hand. Use a dabber. Dabber tips are like spatulas. They are made to handle various types of concentrates. They can pick, scoop, and shovel.. Pick your concentrate with the right dabber and prevent accidental droppings.

eNails

eNails are advanced accessories designed to help you maintain a consistent temperature easily. Yes, they are expensive, but you can rest assured of getting maximum value for your investment. They are designed to remove the trickiest part of creating the perfect dab session.

Carb Cap

This is another dabbing tool you need. A simple flat top carb cap will cut it, but it gets even better if you can find a bubble carb cap or a directional carb cap. The latter can guide airflow in your nail chamber. This gives you a solid session at the lowest temperature.

Quartz Inserts

Quartz inserts form a barrier between the banger and the wax. They contain the hot temperatures. You need them for cold-start dabs and can help protect your banger.

Terp Pearls

Terp pearls rotate in the bucket of your banger. They keep heat even for the best concentrate consumption. A terp pearl ensures every last drop of your concentrate is dabbed.

3. Determine the Optimal Dabbing Temperature

The ultimate goal is to reach the optimal temperature for your dab. The best dabs are the cold ones. They are better because they are gentle on the lungs and keep terpenes.

It's easier to heat your nail correctly when you know its dimensions. These are its bowl size and wall thickness. Getting the perfect heat-up and cool-down times may require some practice.

However, you can achieve complete temperature precision with an eNail instead of a thermometer gun, a timer, and a blowtorch.

4. Keep Your Dab Tools Clean Always

An easy way to mess up a perfect dab is to use a dirty setup. We recommend an everyday maintenance routine to keep your dab tools clean. Use a q-tip to swab your nail out after every use to maintain a tasty dab always.

The frequency of cleaning usually depends on the frequency of use. However, doing a deep clean at least once every month is best. When your dab ring is spotless, you inhale your concentrate's purest flavor and aroma.

5. Adopt Advanced Dabbing Techniques

More than the basic dabs, you can check out dabbing techniques made for advanced users. One is the cold-start dabs. You add the dabs into the nail before heating the bottom with the tip of the torch flame. This continues until you have bubbles in your extract, which then condense into vapor.

To Round Up…

You should also learn how to use terp peals and quartz inserts. You should also learn about other dabbing tools. They will elevate your dabbing game. All of these require practice and, in turn, time. So, do not be in a hurry to become a pro.
