Puff Puff Passing the Word on Dabbing

Smoking continues to be the leading mode of consumption worldwide for cannabis users. While lighting up a joint or a bowl isn’t going anywhere, other methods are gaining widespread popularity. One method known as dabbing is a high-intensity experience that appeals to seasoned smokers. So much so that it generated a subculture all its own. Still, as the curtain on concentrates continues to lift, there is still mystery and hesitation around its effects and how to use them.

When Leafy8 launched their line of Delta 8 THC and HHC dabs, they wanted to make concentrates accessible to those looking for high-quality, lab-tested cannabis wax with no medical card. “Dabbers,” people who smoke concentrates enjoy the high potency, often described as “whole-head euphoria,” the rich flavor profile of the terpenes, and even the ritual of preparing and using their rigs. Now with hemp-derived Delta 8 THC dabs gaining popularity, Leafy8 wants to get real with the next generation of dabbers.

How to Get Started with Dabs

Dabbing requires an initial investment and a few accessories, but most say the elevated experience is worth it.

Step 1

First things first, you’ll need a vessel for your Delta 8 THC or HHC concentrate, and you have a few different options here. Used as the most popular and effective method, the dab rig is a glass piece that ranges vastly in size and cost. A rig allows for the ultimate dabbing experience. Other options include an e-rig, which uses electricity to vaporize your wax for a smooth, unoffending dab, and the dab pen, a specialized vape that heats and melts wax.

Step 2

Once you’ve found your piece, you’ll need a torch, a tool, and a carb cap. Torches heat at higher temperatures than traditional lighters and are essential for dabbing. Dab tools allow you to grab and place your wax without burning yourself or getting it stuck to your fingers. Carb caps regulate smoke flow through the rig.

Step 3

Make it hot! If you’re using a rig, light the nail with your torch a few inches away until the glass glows red. Remove from heat and wait 45-60 seconds before dropping in a rice-sized piece of Delta 8 THC wax. Inhale from the mouthpiece and lift up the carb cap once the wax is fully melted. Congratulations, you’ve just dabbed!

Be sure to clean out any waxy residue with rubbing alcohol to ensure your investment stays in optimal dabbing condition. If you’d like a more in-depth exploration of how to get started dabbing, check out this comprehensive article from Leafly, where Leafy8 was previously featured.

A Word on Cold-Start Dabs

Smoke produced from wax is thick and milky, not to mention often surprisingly hot for the unassuming. Dabbers often choose to avoid the high burn of a hot dab by using what’s known as a cold-start. The main difference is timing. Typically, the user completely heats the nail before the wax is dropped in. With a cold-start dab however, the wax is placed in the nail before the glass is heated, allowing for an easier, less abrasive puff.

Some will argue cold-starts are not as flavorful, and it’s true they tend to leave a sticky mess, but it’s a great place to start for those just getting comfortable with dabbing.

Is there a big difference between Delta 8 and HHC Dabs?

Generally, people regard HHC as more potent than Delta 8 THC, but less so than Delta 9 THC. Dabs are powerful. Due to that, only smokers with cannabis experience should do them. While the effects vary by individual, both create psychoactive effects that range from euphoria to heightened creativity. A 9:1 CBD blend, terpenes are added to Leafy8 Delta 8 THC Dabs for the ultimate entourage effect. Ultimately, dabs can provide a powerful effect and require moderate cannabis experience.

Gone are the days when unreliably sourced concentrates were made in household kitchens. Because of upstanding manufacturers like Leafy8, you can follow your dab’s journey from origin to the packaging stage. It’s Leafy8 and other natural healing companies that are standing up against bad players and standing on the side of product transparency.
