The medical and recreational cannabis communities have their distinctive glass art. This glass art is for smoking concentrates such as wax and oil.
A glass dab rig or oil rig is the perfect glassware to smoke concentrates because they let you enjoy your concentrates in a whole new way that other traditional methods of consuming these substances can’t match.
They are typically used for smoking cannabis concentrates, but they can also smoke dry herbs. For example, you can replace the banger or nail with a slide to easy dry herb use.
Here are the reasons for using them.
The Design of the Rig Allows Airflow to Create More Diffusion
Most people who like to smoke concentrates want the most flavorful hit possible. The best way to get hits is by allowing airflow into the rig by passing through water or another cooling agent.
Dab rigs are the perfect glassware for this purpose because their unique design allows air to cool the smoke before inhalation rapidly.
They Provide a Thick, Dense, and Full-Flavored Hit
Glass dab rigs give you better flavor than other rigs. The reason for this is that water creates more diffusion and cools down your smoke so that you can enjoy its taste even more.
Dab rigs also come with thick glass. The smoke remains inside the rig for as long as possible. Additionally, the design also allows for more percolation/filtration of smoke.
You can think of a glass dab rig as an oil bong with less learning curve. The size of the rig, along with its shape and design, creates a filtration process that you don’t get from using a regular bong or water pipe.
This filtration process gives your smoke the cleanest taste possible, which makes the flavor of the hit even more enjoyable.
The Oil Rig is the Perfect Piece for Dabbing
The correct word for what we’re smoking is “concentrates,” not “dabs.” Dabbing is the act of smoking these substances. What makes a rig the best apparatus for doing so is that it allows us to take advantage of its design and water/air filtration.
Range of Hits
With a dab rig, you get to experience a whole new range of hits. You’ll have the option to take small yet powerful draws or long and slow ones.
It all depends on your preference. This method is not possible with other traditional forms of concentrates because you can’t control how big each hit will be.
Length of Hits
Regardless of how you choose to smoke them, Concentrates are known for producing long-lasting hits. This feature is because concentrates have a high THC content, producing strong effects that last for hours.
With dab rigs, the smoking experience is so smooth and pleasant that it feels as if it will never end. Clean your dab rig regularly with solutions after each session.
Capacity to Handle Hits
Depending on how much it can hold and its size, you can fit anywhere from 0.1 grams to over one gram with a dab rig. The only other traditional method of consuming concentrates by smoking requires loading the substance manually right before each hit.
This feature makes it much easier to take hits because you can control how much you will consume with each dab rig hit. However, it’s vital to use high-quality concentrates to get the best out of your smoking experience.
Final Thoughts
In comparison, joints and pipes require manual loading of the substance every time, which means they are not as easy to use compared to dab rigs. Also, you waste a lot of valuable concentrates this way. Since the focus of dab rigs is to let you experience a range of options for smoking concentrates, you can take as much or as little as you want without wasting any product.
