Getting Your First Dab Kit? Here Are Some Tips To Help You Out

More and more people are now into the use of cannabis both for medicinal and recreational purposes. However, you need to keep in mind that there are several ways on how you can consume CBD to suit your purpose. 

For most people who intend to reap the immediate effects though, dabbing is the way to go. In case you are getting your first dab kit, then the tips listed below will prove to be beneficial.

Explore the Different Types of Dab Rigs

One of the primary things that you need to do in getting your first dab kit is to explore the different types of dab rigs. In this case, you can either go for a glass, mini, silicone, or a recycler rig, as well as an e-rig. Each of these possesses a certain unique feature that you may not find in another rig.

For instance, glass dab rigs are considered to be the traditional ones that are designed to be stronger and more heat resistant. This type of rig is best for people who are just starting with dabbing. Mini rigs are the smaller versions of your classic dab rig which is perfect if you are looking for a combination of convenience and variety.

On the other hand, silicone rigs are the cheapest ones that you can find, but the best part is that they are also very durable. If you want to get a smooth hit from thca diamonds, you should go for a recycler rig that includes extra percolation and glasswork. Finally, you can also go for an e-rig that proves to be the easiest one to use.

Get to Know the Types of Nails

Aside from getting to know your dab rig, you should also explore the different types of nails that you can use. In this case, you can consider getting an electric dab nail or an enail that can quickly heat between 200 and 750 degrees. Otherwise, you can also consider going for nails with a dome, as well as domeless nails. The latter is preferred by most dabbers because the larger dishes enable them to hit larger dabs.

Nails can also be made from different materials which include titanium, ceramic, as well as quartz, and glass to name a few. Titanium ones tend to heat quickly and retain the heat better. Ceramic nails may take longer to heat but as soon as they reach your desired temperature, they retain the heat better. This is the opposite for quartz nails which heat up quickly but tend to lose the heat just as fast. On the other hand, glass nails are known to be the least durable but they are also the most affordable option.

Consider Other Dabbing Tools

While the rig and the nail are the most essential tools that your dab kit needs to have, there are also other dabbing tools that you need to be aware of.

  • Percolators

Percolators come in different styles such as disc percs that have a network of openings that are meant to create bubbles. There are also tree percs that feature several separate arms with small holes as well as showerhead percs that sit at the bottom of the downstem. Other types of percolators include frit disk, honeycomb, inline or stemline, as well as helix design percs. The bubbling action generated by your perc that leads to water filtration can elevate the performance of your water pipe.

  • Dabbers

You should also consider getting dabbers to complete your kit. These tools are designed to transfer your concentrate from your source to the heated nail. They can come in either metal or glass and both are equally effective. However, a metal dabber may also tend to get hot if you leave it in your nail for too long.

  • Cleaning Tools

Finally, it is important to clean your rig periodically, which is why you should also have cleaning tools in your kit. Some of the tools that you need to acquire include cotton swabs and cleaning wipes, as well as pipe cleaners and a cleaning solution.

In getting your first dab kit, make sure that you exert the effort to explore the different types of dab rigs that you can use. Alongside this, you should also familiarize yourself with the suitable type of nail that you can use together with the dab rig you are interested in. Aside from the dab rig and the nail though, you should also look into the other dabbing tools that may prove to be beneficial when it comes to consuming your concentrate.
