How to Dab CBD: Essential Devices and Techniques

Dabbing CBD offers one of the fastest, most efficient ways to experience the benefits of cannabidiol. Whether you're a curious beginner or an experienced user looking to refine your technique, this guide will walk you through everything you need to know—from choosing your gear to perfecting your method.

What Is Dabbing CBD?

Dabbing involves vaporizing a concentrated form of CBD, such as wax, shatter, crumble, or isolate, on a hot surface (called a nail) and inhaling the vapor through a rig or vaporizer. It delivers near-instant effects due to rapid absorption through the lungs.

Unlike smoking, dabbing doesn’t combust plant material—making it a cleaner, more potent option.

Essential Devices and Tools for Dabbing

There are two primary ways to dab CBD:

1. Traditional Dab Rig Setup

• Dab Rig: A glass pipe similar to a bong but designed for concentrates.

• Quartz Nail or Banger: The surface where CBD concentrate is vaporized.

• Torch: Usually butane-powered; heats the nail to the proper temperature.

• Dabber Tool: A small scoop or pick used to place the concentrate on the hot nail.

• Carb Cap (Optional): Helps regulate airflow and vapor temperature.

2. Electronic Options (E-nails & Pens)

• E-Nail: A nail with built-in temperature control for precise dabbing.

• Portable Vape Pens: Like the Evri Pen from Steve’s Goods, designed for wax and shatter, offering portability and ease.

✅ Step-by-Step Guide: How to Dab with a Traditional Rig

Step 1: Set Up Your Gear

Make sure your dab rig, nail, torch, and dab tool are clean and ready.

Step 2: Heat the Nail

Use your torch to heat the nail until it glows red (usually takes 20–30 seconds).

Step 3: Let It Cool Slightly

Wait 30–45 seconds for the nail to cool to the ideal range (500°F–600°F). Too hot = burnt flavor, too cold = weak vapor.

Step 4: Apply the Concentrate

Use your dabber tool to place a small amount of concentrate onto the nail.

Step 5: Inhale and Cap

Inhale the vapor slowly through the rig's mouthpiece. If you have a carb cap, place it over the nail for better vaporization.

Step 6: Clean the Nail

Wipe off any residue with a cotton swab to keep it fresh for the next session.

How to Dab Using the Evri Pen (or Similar Vape Pens)

Vape pens offer an easy, portable alternative. Here’s how:

Step 1: Attach the Wax Atomizer

Make sure the atomizer attachment is properly secured to the battery base.

Step 2: Load the Chamber

Use your dab tool to place a small amount of wax or shatter into the heating chamber.

Step 3: Turn It On

Press the power button (usually 5 quick clicks) and adjust the heat setting if available.

Step 4: Inhale and Enjoy

Hold the button while inhaling from the mouthpiece. Start with small pulls.

Step 5: Clean the Chamber

Use a cotton swab and some isopropyl alcohol after it cools down.
