Dab

Taking a dab is the latest and some say greatest way to consume cannabis concentrates these days. But what is ‘dabbing’? Simply put ‘dabbing’ is a slang term used to describe taking single dose hash hits of concentrates that are referred to as oil, errl, earwax, wax, budder, or shatter using pipes and bongs that are made specifically for smoking these cannabis extracts. The pieces are designed to have a skillet or nail that made from glass, quartz or titanium that is heated with a handheld torch, the user then ‘dabs’ a small of the extract onto the hot nail causing the concentrate to flash into a vapor that you inhale. Concentrates that can be dabbed are made using various methods some of which included butane, CO2, or isopropyl alcohol . These extracts are made by blasting the solvents through the plant material then the chemicals are purged out. There are also solvent-less methods that use ice water or dry ice to extract the euphoric nectar of the stoned Gods. Just like there are many ways to grow your weed, there are many different ways people are finding to concentrate their product and it is taking medicating to a whole new level. These concentrates are what you hear referred to as oils, waxes, budders,and shatters and each one has its own consistency and method of being made.
