How to Make Dabs

Dabbing is the most popular way to consume cannabis concentrates. Cannabis users love the fact that they can use a small amount of product and still experience one of the strongest highs of their life.

After reading this, you’re probably wishing you knew how to make dabs. Don’t worry – we have you covered. Find out what dabs are and how you can make them yourself.

What are Dabs? 

Dabs are small doses of potent cannabis concentrates that people vape or smoke. They are popular due to their ability to create a robust high without having to use a lot of product. 

Some of the most popular cannabis concentrates used for dabbing include shatter, budder waxes, and hash oils. Each type has a different consistency, and some are easier to use than others. 

The key principle of dabbing a little goes a long way.

Dab Rig Method

The dab rig is the most common method for smoking and vaporizing dabs. When you first look at the rig, it can seem intimidating, but once you practice the steps a few times, it becomes super simple. 

First, let’s go over the tools you will need. 

• A torch
• A dabber
• A dab rig
• Any cannabis concentrate of your choosing

Now that you know the tools of the trade, you can learn how to use your dab rig.

Step one:

Heat the dab rig nail with your torch.  Let it cool until it reaches about 350°F before moving on to step two.

Step two:

Apply a grain of rice or pinky-nail sized amount of concentrate onto the nail using your dab wand and slowly inhale. Be sure to rotate your dab over the nail to avoid wasting product.  

Step three:

Cover your dab with the carb cap and take your final inhale – this will help with the airflow. Always remember to put the dome over your dabs.

Step four:

Last, but certainly not least, it’s time to sit back, relax, exhale, and enjoy.

Bowl Method 

The second and less common method is to use a bowl. The only downside to using a bowl is it can take more product because you will need to enlist the help of some bud.

The tools you will need for this method include the following.

• A bowl (pipe)
• Some bud
• A dabber/wand
• A lighter
• Any cannabis concentrate of your choosing

Step one:

Fill your bowl with your favorite bud.

Step two:

Take your dabber and pick up your cannabis concentrate and place it on top of the bud.

Step three:

Light up, inhale, exhale, and enjoy.

Although this method does take some extra product (bud) – it’s just as enjoyable. And whoever said a little bit of bud was a bad thing.
