Dabbing is a technique used for vaporization. It is primarily used for experiencing flavors, being able to reach high percentages of THC and CBD, and also social interactions among users.
In dabbing, the term for using wax in the vaporizer, you can use any kind of wax as the base. There are typically two main types of wax: natural or synthetic. Both have different properties and can be used for dabbing.
Natural waxes contain plant oils such as coconut oil or beef fat. These can be used either directly or mixed with other materials. For example, one manufacturer uses cotton wool and vegetable oil as prime components.
Synthetic waxes contain compounds such as purchased compounds or blends that have been created like CBD isolate or ancillary oils like coconut butter.
Is it the same as hash oil?
Hash oil is a powerful substance that can be used for many things. It can be put on areas to heal, expressed on skin, ingested as an oil, or added to coffee or tea.
dabbing wax is a similar substance that can be applied to areas of the body to vaporize and enjoy an oil. The two substances are not identical, however.
Weaker concentration of wax will result in less smoke and more flavor extraction when dabbing. More brush strength will result in thicker pipes that may require more frequent relighting due to poor bubbler technique.
How is it made?
dabbing wax is made by varnishing your cannabis plant Grower leaves with a mark or stamp on the leaf. The wax is then processed to create multiple coins of wax.
This process creates different grades of wax, some being lower quality and needing more work to be put into it. When it is created, it is inspected for purity and modified material, which means it has been processed by something else non-cannabis.
Some companies use mixed materials such as coconut oil, sugar, and spices to create their dabbing wax. This is completely safe as it does not contain cannabis particles!
The process of making dabbing wax can be done by someone or something.
What is in it?
dabbing wax is put on a stick-like base to create a platform where the user can smoke it. It is then moved around in a dab tool and smoked in a similar fashion to a joint or puff.
The main ingredient in dabbing wax is terpenes, or plant compounds that scent and taste in plants. Terpenes are widely used as flavoring agents in food and beverages, cosmetic products, and pharmaceuticals.
How do I use it?
dabbing wax is most commonly used by running a bit of wax over the end of a vaped dry herb cartridge or tank. You then press the wax into the open end of the cartridge or tank and push down to load your dab oil.
As the Wax is retained in the cartridge or tank, it can be smoked as is or further processed into a Cosmoplate, a popular cannabis concentraion format.
Both methods produce an equally brilliant, smooth, cannabidol (Cbz) oil that can be Christian Bale-ed or privately mailed to someone you know if you don’t want them to have it yourself.
What does it look like?
Assemble your wax, group of course! Dabbing is all about having ready, access to wax. Currently, there are two ways to assemble your dab rig in California: Through a dedicated device or oven or via manual assembly. Neither are recommended!
The standard method is to use a dip pen and then transfer your Wax under the top cap. The problem with this is that you must now have space under the top cap to receive your Wax. It must be able to hold up to its own pressure and heat from your heat device.
The other method is to use a torch and then! This can be tricky if you do not have a fire extinguisher as backup.
What does it smell like?
When dabbing with wax, you will be creating a wax base that will be burned and acrid, which will give the wax a soft, velvety feel. The addition of cannabis produces an odor that is strong and enticing.
To avoid burning your mouth and nose in case of accidental inhale, the wax is mixed thoroughly and evenly. Some dabbers add a small amount of coconut oil to help prevent dryness of the smoked plant material.
The process can be complicated to learn for new dabbers, so it is recommended that they start with something simple like a cube or strip of paper. Let them have success before trying more complex methods!
We will talk about what steps in the process clients should take at length below, so check out the rest of the article for those tips.
Are there any risks?
Dabbing is a great way to get into the dab-dab for recreational users. It is also for beginners, as the techniques are not always clear. For example, there are no guarantees that you will not get burned!
There are two main components of dabbing wax: a waxy substance that is vaporized when heated and the device or tool used to do so. The device can be a Volcano Vaporator, X- brazen or nailette, an AK-47 style tool or a simple torch.
As with all new things, start small. Start by using only your finger and by only doing one thing: the waxy substance! Do not overdo it until you have developed your technique and learned how to properly handle the wax.
Where can I get cannabis wax?
Cannabis wax is most commonly found in Europe and North America, but has been integrated into the mainstream U.S. beauty industry in California.
There are several types of cannabis wax, including soft and hard, natural and synthetic. Most contain trace amounts of THC, which requires vaping as a means to consume your wax.
soft and hard cannabis waxes can be burned with a e-cigarette or vaporizer, while block or sheet cannabis wax can be cooked with an oven or hot pan method. Both require that the wax be cooled before attempting to shape it into a bowl or shape it into a pipe.
barbecue sauce may contain traces of THC, so users can apply it to their vape or burn it with a barbecue grill for an enhanced experience.
