What Is Dabbing?

“Dabbing” is the term used to refer to the process of melting a cannabis concentrate ( also called shatter) over a chosen heat source and inhaling the pure vapour with your preferred dab rig in South Africa.

The art of making these cannabis extract waxes is something that should be left to professionals who have the correct knowledge of how to use light hydrocarbons, such as butane or propane, and closed-loop systems with extreme safety measures.

How To Dab

Firstly, you want to dose properly. This can be tricky, due to the very high THC density of your concentrate cannabis wax or shatter. Keeping your dabs the size of a rice grain will keep you from overconsuming, and make sure you wait at least an hour before having another hit.

A standard nail is one of the most popular surfaces to dab on, and a standard small blow-torch will generally be used to heat the nail. Be mindful with your use of this hot flame and the heated nail, to avoid any kind of harm.
Here are just a few tips to enjoy a happy and safe dab:

● Do not smoke low-quality products – purchase lab-tested cannabis concentrate from a reputable source.
● Use your dab rig properly – understand the tools involved and have a dab rig that you’re comfortable with.
● Do not attempt to do a chemical extraction at home – experiment with resin extraction if you feel you want to explore the world of concentrates.
