The most common form of dabbing involves applying high heat&nbsp;directly to the <a href=\"https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/products-and-how-to-consume\/how-to-use-a-dab-rig\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u201cnail\" or \u201cbanger\" of a dab rig<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/products-and-how-to-consume\/how-to-use-a-dab-rig#:~:text=a%20cotton%20swab.-,What%20is%20the%20bowl%20of%20a%20dab%20rig%20called%3F,the%20nail%2C%20not%20the%20concentrate.\"><\/a>&nbsp;using a blow torch and then inhaling. Some dab wax, depending on its consistency, can also be sprinkled into a bowl full of flower or inside a joint to be smoked. However, dabbing wax delivers the most potent, hard-hitting experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dabbing is hands down one of the most potent methods of dosing cannabis; the cannabinoids in weed wax are highly concentrated, and you can feel its effects within seconds of inhalation. Dabs can contain up to 80-90% of the plant's major&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/dictionary\/tetrahydrocannabinol-thc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">psychoactive cannabinoid, THC<\/a>. Comparatively, raw cannabis flower contains up to about 30% THC at most. For this reason, always remember to start low and go slow when consuming dabs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With concentrates especially, it can be easy to accidentally consume more than you intended to, which can lead to unpleasant side effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-are-the-different-types-of-dabs\">What are the different types of dabs?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dabs are an extremely versatile method of consuming cannabis, boasting a variety of textures, colors, flavors, and purposes.

For the absolute best results, try to ensure the water you use, and even the air around you during the process, are as cold as possible. If time allows, you can pre-freeze your weed in the freezer before getting started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-materials-1\">Materials<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>3 - 4 oz of your favorite high-quality weed<\/li><li>10 - 15 pounds of ice<\/li><li>3 - 5 bubble bags of varying sizes (vinyl bags with silk\/micron screen bottoms; bubble bags between 73 and 90 microns are assumed to produce the finest resin)<\/li><li>2 five-gallon buckets (one for mixing and one for wet bags\/screens)<\/li><li>Purified water<\/li><li>Cheesecloth<\/li><li>Rubber gloves<\/li><li>Wooden spoon or stir stick<\/li><li>Optional: dry ice<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-by-step-instructions-1\">Step-by-step instructions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 1:&nbsp;<\/strong>Break up 3 - 4 oz of your favorite high quality cannabis flower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 2:&nbsp;<\/strong>Layer your first bucket with 3 - 5 bubble bags or micron filters, from smallest to largest. Your largest bag should be on top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 3:&nbsp;<\/strong>Add your cannabis to the bucket, followed by as much ice as possible, about half a bag, and enough purified water to ensure your cannabis is submerged. The use of purified water helps to preserve the purity of your dabs. <strong>Tip<\/strong>: To help more evenly cool your mixture, you can opt for filling the bucket with a layer of ice, then weed, then ice, and so on until the top of the bucket is nearly filled. Ensure your top layer is ice. Fill with water and proceed to the next steps. <strong>Optional<\/strong>: Add in dry ice to make your mixture even colder. The colder, the better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 4:&nbsp;<\/strong>Stir the weed and ice water using a wooden spoon for about 15 - 20 minutes, agitating it consistently. Add ice periodically to keep the water cold, and increase stirring speed as time passes. The ideal ice-to-water ratio throughout your stir is about 1:1. Let settle for another 20 - 30 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 5:&nbsp;<\/strong>Partially remove the first (largest) bubble bag or micron screen out of your bucket. Gently shake the bag and let the water drain into the bucket until only ice and flower are left in the bag. Avoid squeezing. Set the bubble bag or screen aside, or into your second bucket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 6:&nbsp;<\/strong>Remove the next bubble bag. Scrape off the material that is left on the bottom of the screen using a spoon or knife. The dabs should appear darker in color, and likely sticky. Deposit dabs onto cheesecloth or non-stick parchment paper. This first layer of dabs is considered the least pure, as it contains the most plant residue. However, it's still good to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 7:&nbsp;<\/strong>Continue to remove each bubble bag and scrape out your dabs, until you've reached the last one. As each bag is removed, the dab material you collect will be purer and purer. The dabs should appear slightly lighter in color, accumulate more, and become easier to collect. Note that the smallest screen will produce the purest hash. To collect any remaining concentrate, turn each bag inside out after draining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 8:&nbsp;<\/strong>Dry your dabs using cheesecloth or a micron screen to filter out any remaining water. You can also place your dabs in the freezer to further dry them out. The removal of moisture is one of the most important steps, so don't skip it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 9:&nbsp;<\/strong>Repeat steps 1 - 8 with the same batch of cannabis to extract even more dabs. Note that agitation of the mixture gets easier over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 10:&nbsp;<\/strong>Dab your bubble hash. Remember that you will be left with a few different grades of dabs \u2013 feel free to separate them, or mix them together. Store your dabs using non-stick parchment paper in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"flat-iron-extraction\">How to make homemade dabs: Flat iron extraction<\/h2>\n\n\n\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-block-image \">\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/102_Rosin-Tech_Live-Rosin-Press_399.jpg?ssl=1\" data-modal-open=\"lightbox_250\">\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/102_Rosin-Tech_Live-Rosin-Press_399.jpg?fit=640%2C360&ssl=1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/102_Rosin-Tech_Live-Rosin-Press_399.jpg?w=1600&ssl=1 1600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/102_Rosin-Tech_Live-Rosin-Press_399.jpg?resize=300%2C169&ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/102_Rosin-Tech_Live-Rosin-Press_399.jpg?resize=768%2C432&ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/102_Rosin-Tech_Live-Rosin-Press_399.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/102_Rosin-Tech_Live-Rosin-Press_399.jpg?w=1280&ssl=1 1280w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 768px) 476px, (min-width: 1218px) 772px, 100vw\" alt=\"\" title=\"Click to see a larger version of the image\">\n\t\t\t<\/a><cite>Photo by: Gina Coleman\/Weedmaps<\/cite><\/figure>\t\t\t<div id=\"lightbox_250\" data-modal data-modal-hide-heading data-modal-manual-close hidden>\n\t\t\t\t<h2>Image lightbox<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/102_Rosin-Tech_Live-Rosin-Press_399.jpg?fit=640%2C360&ssl=1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/102_Rosin-Tech_Live-Rosin-Press_399.jpg?w=1600&ssl=1 1600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/102_Rosin-Tech_Live-Rosin-Press_399.jpg?resize=300%2C169&ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/102_Rosin-Tech_Live-Rosin-Press_399.jpg?resize=768%2C432&ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/102_Rosin-Tech_Live-Rosin-Press_399.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/102_Rosin-Tech_Live-Rosin-Press_399.jpg?w=1280&ssl=1 1280w\" sizes=\"100vw\" alt=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t<button role=\"button\" class=\"a11y-modal__close-btn\" data-modal-close-btn>\n\t\t\t\t\t<svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"currentColor\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M13.414 12l4.293 4.293a1 1 0 01-1.414 1.414L12 13.414l-4.293 4.293a1 1 0 11-1.414-1.414L10.586 12 6.293 7.707a1 1 0 011.414-1.414L12 10.586l4.293-4.293a1 1 0 011.414 1.414L13.414 12z\"\/><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Rosin or hash can safely be made at home using just heat and pressure.
