MustHave Dab Accessories

Dabbing is a unique and powerful way to ingest cannabis extracts. While dab rigs, nails, and dab tools are the basic essentials, the right accessories can greatly enhance your enjoyment and overall experience. Here are a few essential dab accessories to liven up your next session:

1. Dab Torch

A high-quality butane torch is essential for heating dab nails. Look for a torch with an adjustable flame for precise temperature control. Single flame torches are popular for their concentrated power, and double flame torches provide faster heating. For long-term cost-effectiveness, consider a refillable butane torch.

2. Dab Nails

The dovetail is the part of the nail that brings the concentrate into contact with the heat source. Popular nail materials include quartz, titanium, and ceramic, each with different heat retention and vaporization properties. Domeless nails are also available for airflow and carb cap compatibility.

3. Carb caps

Carb caps regulate airflow throughout the heated nail, affecting vaporization and flavor. carb caps come in a variety of designs, but generally fit snugly over the top of the nail. The use of a carb cap allows for flavor-enhanced, low-temperature dabs.

4. Dab Tool

Dab tools make sticky concentrates easier to handle and allow for mess-free, accurate dabbing. Choose durable and heat-resistant titanium, quartz, or stainless steel. Depending on preference, there are flat head, scoop, and spoon types.

5. BHO Mat

BHO mats are often made of silicone and protect the surface from the stickiness of the concentrate. BHO mats are heat resistant, easy to clean, and ideal for storing dab tools and containers of concentrate during dabbing.

6. Dab Thermometer (optional)

For the ultimate in temperature control, consider investing in a dab thermometer. A laser thermometer provides a non-contact measurement of nail temperature, allowing you to get the best flavor and vapor quality at optimal dabbing temperatures.

7. Silicone Container

Silicon containers are a dabber’s best friend for storing concentrates. Silicon is non-stick, odor-resistant, and heat-resistant, making it ideal for storing and transporting dabs.

8. Isopropyl alcohol (ISO)

Isopropyl alcohol is essential for cleaning dab rigs and accessories. For optimal performance and flavor, use a high concentration of ISO (usually 90% or higher) after dabbing to remove residual concentrates.

Conclusion

By incorporating these essential dabbing accessories into your routine, you can improve your dabbing experience, explore the unique flavors of your concentrates, and enjoy a cleaner, more efficient dabbing experience. Start with what you need and gradually incorporate these accessories as you refine your own dabbing technique. Have a great dabbing experience!
