What are dabs?
Dabs are a form of cannabis concentrate that has become increasingly popular in recent years due to its potency and flavor. Dabs offer users an intense, highly concentrated dose of THC, the main active ingredient in marijuana. This makes them ideal for those who want a more powerful experience than what can be achieved through traditional methods like smoking or vaping flower buds. Here’s what you should know about dabs and what they really are:
What really are cannabis dabs?
Dabs are a form of concentrated cannabis that can be vaporized or smoked. The term “dab” is used to refer to both the drug and the method of consuming it, which involves heating a small amount of cannabis concentrate on a hot surface and inhaling the resulting vapor.

Dabs are much more potent than traditional cannabis flowers, with THC levels reaching up to 90% or more.
Why are cannabis dabs called dabs?
The term 'dab' is derived from the concentrated doses of cannabis that are created when users extract cannabinoids like THC and CBD from marijuana plants. The resulting sticky, wax-like substance looks like a tiny dab or drop, which is why it was given this name.

How safe are cannabis dabs?
Cannabis dabs can be as safe to consume as any other form of cannabis, provided you follow the same safety precautions.
It is important to ensure that your dabbing equipment is clean and free from contaminants, and it is also important to make sure that the temperature of your dabbing rig does not exceed 650°F (343°C). If done correctly, cannabis dabs are a great way to enjoy the effects of cannabinoids without risking potential health concerns.
5 interesting things about cannabis dabs that you should know

1. Dabbing is becoming an increasingly popular way to consume cannabis concentrates, as it provides a more intense and immediate high than traditional smoking methods.
2. Cannabis dabs can be made from a variety of different extraction processes, including butane hash oil (BHO), CO2 extractions, rosin press extracts and more.
3. The potency of dabbing varies greatly depending on the type of concentrate used; some are much stronger than others, so users should always dose responsibly when using this method for consuming cannabis products. The potency of a dab also depends on the temperature of the nail when it is heated. A lower temperature will produce a milder effect, while higher temperatures can lead to an overwhelming experience.
4. Dab rigs are specialized pieces of glassware designed specifically for dabbing that help maximize flavor, vapor production and air flow while minimizing waste and messiness associated with the process.
The main components of a dab rig include the water pipe, nail and dome (or carb cap). The water pipe is used to cool down the vapor before it reaches your lungs. The nail is heated up with a torch until it's hot enough to vaporize the concentrate placed on top. Lastly, the dome or carb cap covers the top of the nail so that all of the vapor produced can be inhaled through an attached mouthpiece.
5. Many people choose to pair their dab rig with a water pipe attachment or bubbler in order to cool down the smoke before inhaling it into their lungs - this makes the experience.
