When is using a health stone a good method for vaporizing concentrates?
Using a health stone is a good method if you want to try cannabis concentrates without investing in an expensive vaporizer or dab rig.
What is dabbing?
With dabbing, concentrates are flash vaporized on a hot surface called a nail, and the vapor is inhaled through a water pipe known as a dab rig.
What is the increased risk associated with dabbing?
Because of the high potency of concentrates, dabbing creates an increased risk of addiction and dependency.
What precautions should be taken when purchasing glass or silicone dab equipment?
To ensure the safety of glass smoking equipment, make sure that the glass is made of borosilicate, avoid colored glass, and ensure that the holes in the pipe have been blown rather than drilled. To ensure the safety of silicone smoking equipment, make sure it’s BPA-free, antimicrobial, and dishwasher safe, and check the temperature rating to ensure that it’s high enough for your intended use.
What is a dab rig?
A dab rig is a specialized water pipe designed for dabbing concentrates, which come in many shapes and sizes. Accessories can be attached to the dab rig to facilitate the dabbing process.
What is a nail in dabbing?
