Are cheap mini dab rigs worth it?
When you hear the word "dabbing", you probably think of that weird dance move from 2015. However, if like me, you enjoy the wondrous plant known as cannabis something very different comes to mind when you hear dabbing. Dabbing has become an extremely popular way of enjoying cannabis that has risen in both notoriety and popularity in the mainstream cannabis world.
What is Dabbing?
Many love dabbing as the wax concentrate used is much more potent than the dried herb. Wax, shatter or honeycomb is a highly concentrated form of THC (often 60%-80%). It is made by extracting the THC from the cannabis plant using a chemical solvent such as butane for example. The result is a beautifully golden sticky substance that can be smoked out of a dab rig. This means dabbers don’t need to smoke quite so much to feel the full effects. More and more cannabis connoisseurs are trying out dabbing with wonderful results. Rapper Action Bronson now exclusively dabs when he is in the mood for some marijuana. The New Yorker often says Hardcore Shatter is by far his favourite cannabis product on the market.
The Dab Rig
So now you know all about shatter you are probably keen to give it a go. But slow down real quick cause to dab you are going to have to get the right equipment. When it comes to dabbing, a dab rig is the best way to get the most out of your concentrated cannabis oil.
A dab rig or concentrate rig is quite an impressive contraption. It is similar to a bong or water pipe, except it is used for smoking wax instead of dried herbs. You do need to pack up some extra equipment to get your dab on. Dab rigs are made up of a few basic parts.
- Water Pipe: Just like a bong, this pipe contains water to cool down those waxy hits.
- Nail or Banger: This is where the wax goes before it gets heated up into smoke. The nail is almost like the bowl on a bong.
- Dab Tool: Dab tools are small pieces of metal which are used to load your concentrate. They work like a special wax spoon. This is essential if you don't want to burn your fingers.
These are just the basic parts of a dabbing rig setup. There are also a large number of extras and add-ons available for dab rigs.
