What Is Dabbing? Rosin, Wax & Tools Explained Simply
Dabbing is more than a trend – it's a modern way to enjoy cannabis concentrates like rosin, wax, or live resin. In this guide, you’ll discover what dabbing means, which concentrates are popular, and which setups are beginner-friendly.
What Is Dabbing?
Dabbing involves placing a small amount (dab) of concentrate onto a heated surface (such as a banger or e-nail), where it vaporizes instantly. The result: a clean, intense hit with rich flavor – all without combustion.
Popular Concentrates for Dabbing
- Rosin – solventless, flavorful, clean
- Wax – creamy and easy to dose
- Shatter – glass-like and highly pure
- Live Resin – terpene-rich, made from fresh plant material
These concentrates are loaded with terpenes and potent cannabinoids, so the right temperature is crucial.
How Does Dabbing Work?
To dab, you'll need either a traditional glass dab rig with a torch and banger, or a modern e-rig like the Puffco Peak. E-rigs offer precise temperature control and are ideal for beginners.
Why Dab?
- Efficiency: concentrates are more potent than flower
- Flavor: terpenes shine at ideal temperatures
- Clean: no smoke or combustion, just vapor
- Experience: sleek setups deliver a premium feel
