What Is Dabbing?
Dabbing is the process of vaporizing cannabis concentrates on a heated surface and inhaling the vapor, delivering potent and fast-acting effects.
Dabbing Explained
Dabbing is a consumption method for cannabis concentrates that involves heating a surface (nail or banger, typically made of quartz, titanium, or ceramic) to a high temperature, applying a small amount of concentrate (a "dab") to the hot surface, and inhaling the resulting vapor through a water pipe (dab rig). The concentrate instantly vaporizes on contact. Low-temperature dabs (around 400-500°F) produce better flavor; high-temperature dabs produce more vapor.
Why It Matters
Dabbing delivers fast, potent effects and the best concentrate flavor. It is the preferred consumption method for concentrate enthusiasts.
