However, it was until the ascension of butane hemp (hash) oil that dabbling became popular.

So, What Exactly Is Dabbing?

How To Dab

First and foremost, assemble all the equipment mentioned earlier. After all the equipment is set, turn the torch on and make sure that the nail is being heated by the flame. Most people prefer to have the nail heat until it turns red hot, it’s actually not necessary. As a matter of fact, overheating can combust the concentrate at times which is in fact against dabbing.

When you are sure that the nail’s temperature is level, grab just about the right amount of the concentrate and place it on the nail. Slowly inhale the resulting fumes while turning the dabber tip that is on the nail to avoid wastage of oil that may have been stuck on the dabber. Exhale, enjoy then repeat the whole process until you are fully satisfied.
