This <\/span><\/i>carb cap<\/i><\/b> is essential for my set of dab tools.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before I <\/span><\/i>created a homemade <\/span><\/i>carb cap<\/i><\/b>, all my concentrates tasted the same \u2014 but now that I have it, I can really taste the difference.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\tWhat is the purpose of carb caps?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The carb cap was <\/span>invented<\/span><\/a> by Task Rok, founder of dab accessories company Highly Educated, in 2013. The term carb cap comes from the word carburetor. A carb cap is to a dabbing rig what a carburetor is to a car. Just like a carburetor controls the airflow, and, as a result, the pressure around an engine, a carb cab controls the airflow and, as a result, the pressure around a dab.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t
