Dabber

Materials Matter

They can be made from a range of materials, including:

• Glass: Aesthetically pleasing but can be fragile.
• Titanium: Durable and heat-resistant, a favorite among many dabbing enthusiasts.
• Stainless Steel: Another durable option, easy to clean, and widely available.
• Ceramic: Offers a pure flavor but can be more delicate than metal options.

When choosing a dabber, consider the type of concentrate you’ll be using and your personal preferences regarding durability and aesthetics.

Different Shapes for Different Needs

Dabbers come in various shapes, each designed for a specific type of concentrate:

• Scoop: Great for softer, saucier concentrates.
• Spatula: Ideal for crumbly or waxy dabs.
• Needlepoint: Perfect for picking up small, sticky amounts.
• Ballpoint: Versatile and suitable for most types of concentrates.

How to Use a Dabber

Using a dabber is straightforward:

• Heat your dab rig’s nail until it’s red-hot.
• Let it cool for a moment.
• Using the dabber, scoop or pick up a small amount of your chosen concentrate.
• Gently apply the concentrate onto the heated nail.
• Inhale the vapor produced, and voila! You’re dabbing.

Keeping A Dabber Clean

To ensure the best flavor and a smooth dabbing experience, it’s essential to keep yours clean. After each use, wipe off any residual concentrate. For a deeper clean, soak it in isopropyl alcohol, then rinse with warm water and dry.

Safety Tips

Always be cautious when using these tools, especially after it’s come into contact with a hot nail. It can retain heat and might burn you. It’s a good idea to have a designated spot, like a silicone mat or holder, to place yours after use.
