How-to-Smoke-Dabs BOMB  BOMBERIG

Dabbing, while intimidating for newcomers, offers a potent and efficient way to experience cannabis. We're here to guide you if you're ready to dive into this world.

We’ll start by understanding concentrates and then crawl to mastering the art of dabbing with traditional rigs and electronic devices like the Bomb Erig. Let's demystify dabbing and show you a modern way to smoke the dabs, among other options.

 What are Dabs?

Dabbing is a method of consuming concentrated cannabis extracts, often referred to as dabs. These extracts are significantly more potent than traditional flowers, typically ranging from 60% to 90% THC. This high potency allows for a rapid and intense experience.

Depending on the extraction method used, dabs come in various forms, such as wax, shatter, and rosin. Standard extraction methods include butane honey oil (BHO), carbon dioxide (CO2), ethanol, and isopropyl alcohol. Each method yields unique textures and potency levels.

By understanding the different types of dabs and their extraction processes, you can make informed choices about your cannabis consumption.

What is Dabbing?

Dabbing is a method of consuming concentrated cannabis extracts (the dabs). These concentrates are significantly more potent than traditional flowers, offering a rapid and intense experience.

Dabs come in various forms, including wax, shatter, budder, and rosin, each with unique textures and potency levels. While the specific extraction methods may vary, the common goal is to isolate and concentrate the cannabinoids, notably THC, from the plant material.

Various Types of Dabs Available

Dabs come in various forms, each offering unique characteristics and experiences. Here are some of the most common types:

  • Oils:These viscous concentrates are often found in pre-filled cartridges for vape pens or dab rigs. They are known for their smooth, flavorful hits and are usually extracted using CO2.
  • Waxes:These sticky, malleable concentrates are extracted using the BHO method. They are highly potent and provide a powerful, long-lasting high.
  • Shatter:This translucent, glass-like concentrate is also a BHO product. It's known for its potency and can be challenging to handle, making bud-cutting tools useful for preparation.
  • Distillate:This highly refined concentrate is nearly pure THC, stripped of most other compounds. It's incredibly potent and offers a focused, cerebral high.
  • Rosin:Extracted using heat and pressure, rosin is a solventless concentrate that preserves the plant's natural flavors and terpenes. It's considered a premium product among dab enthusiasts.

Electronic dab rigs, like the Bomb Erig, offer a convenient and controlled way to enjoy dabs. Here's a simple guide to get you started:

Preparing Your Dab Rig

  1. Charge Your Device:Ensure your electronic dab rig is fully charged before use. Thanks to their USB-C capability, erigs like the Bomb offer a faster way to do this.
  2. Load Your Concentrate:
    • Using a Dab Tool:Dip your dab tool into your concentrate and load it onto the atomizer.
  • Using a Carb Cap:Place the carb cap over the atomizer to help control heat and vapor production. The Bomb’s cap is rotatable, which enhances heat distribution as you inhale.
  • Fill Water in the Glass Top:Most rigs have a glass with a mouthpiece. To cool the glass chamber, which often has a percolator, fill it with water.

Setting the Temperature

  1. Power On:Turn on your device and navigate to the temperature settings. The Bomb requires you to click it five times to power it on and then three clicks to enter the precise temperature settings.
  2. Choose Your Temperature:Select your desired temperature. A lower temperature (around 400-500°F) is recommended for beginners to avoid harsh hits. More experienced users may prefer higher temperatures for larger dabs. Use the button to increase or decrease the temperature levels.

Taking a Dab

  1. Heat the Atomizer:Once the atomizer reaches the desired temperature, it will typically flash or vibrate to indicate readiness, depending on your erig. The Bomb flashes a green light to inform you it’s ready.
  2. Inhale:Inhale slowly and deeply through the mouthpiece.
  3. Exhale:Exhale smoothly.

Cleaning Your Rig

Regular cleaning is essential to maintain optimal performance and flavor. Follow these steps:

  1. Disassemble:Turn off the power, wait for the rig to cool, and then disassemble it. Separate the mouthpiece, nail, and any other removable components.
  2. Soak:Soak the glass parts in isopropyl alcohol to dissolve resin and other residue.
  3. Scrub:Use a soft brush or cotton swabs to scrub away any remaining debris gently.
  4. For the atomizer,Use cotton swabs to clean the inner part. To get better results, dip them in isopropyl before cleaning.
  5. Rinse:Rinse the glass parts thoroughly with warm water.
  6. Dry:Dry the parts entirely with a soft cloth or air dry.

By following these steps and regularly cleaning your rig, you can enjoy a consistent and flavorful dabbing experience.

How to Smoke Dabs Using the Traditional Rig

Smoking traditional bongs and rigs takes a different turn. There is no temperature control, meaning you need to know what you are doing as you use them.

The steps to use a traditional rig involve:

Step 1: Prepare Your Rig and Dab

  • Water Level:Ensure your rig has the optimal water level. Too much water can dilute the flavor, while too little can lead to harsh hits.
  • Nail Preparation:Choose the suitable nail material (titanium, quartz, or ceramic) and heat it to a cherry red color using a torch. Let it cool slightly before applying the concentrate.
  • Step 2: Apply the Concentrate
  • Dab Tool:Use a dab tool to pick up a small amount of concentrate.
  • Nail Placement:Carefully place the concentrate onto the hot nail.
  • Dome Placement:Quickly cover the nail with a dome to trap the vapor.
  • Step 3: Inhale and Exhale
  • Inhale:Once the concentrate vaporizes, inhale slowly and deeply through the mouthpiece.
  • Exhale:Exhale smoothly, savoring the flavor and effects.

Remember: Practice makes perfect. Start with smaller dabs and gradually increase as you become more comfortable.

Wrapping Up

Dabbing, while a potent method of cannabis consumption, can be intimidating for newcomers. However, it can be a rewarding experience with the proper knowledge and equipment.

While traditional rigs offer a classic approach, electronic dab rigs like the Bomb Erig provide a more convenient and controlled experience. By setting precise temperatures and eliminating the need for open flames, electronic rigs offer a safer and cleaner way to enjoy dabs.

With consistent practice and experimentation, you can master the art of dabbing and unlock its full potential.
