CBD Dabbing

Dabbing is the vapourising of a cannabis concentrate such as wax crumble or shatter to inhale the vapourised cannabinoids. CBD dabs offer one of, if not the, most concentrated form(s) of CBD around. Moreover they typically contain no additional ingredients.

Dabbing CBD is an effective route of administration for cannabinoids. When vapourised, more cannabinoids are absorbed than other methods. They are also absorbed faster meaning immediated effects for you.

Vaporising is lower temperature than smoking which means less damage and inflammation. Moreover CBD dabs typically only contain one or two ingredients as opposed to CBD e-liquid which uses a VG/PG base and flavour.

Another additional benefit of dabbing CBD concentrates is the flavour is incredible. With dabbing you have more control over the temperature the dabs vapourise at allowing you to enjoy the best possible flavour.

Finally CBD dabs typically contain other naturally occurring cannabinoids, terpenes and flavonoids. This can provide additional benefits of the entourage effect.

CBD concentrates or CBD dabs come in multiple different forms.

Wax Crumble

Wax Crumble has a crumbly waxy texture and retains many of the goodies found within the original plant. A broad spectrum of cannabinoids such as CBG, CBC, etc and terpenes in addition to CBD. You can expect to see labs demonstrating over 80% cannabinoids in these hyper-potent extracts.

Shatter

Shatter is a CBD concentrate that has been manipulated from a plant based entrapment of cannabinoids and terpenes to a glass like finish. A pure form of CBD extract free from any fats, waxes and adulterants.

Diamonds & Sauce

CBD Diamonds and Sauce is a unique, craft concentrate that is packed with fresh terpenes for maximum flavour and efficacy. To create these innovative CBD dabs, terpene-rich sauce is poured over large CBD diamonds. Here the CBD diamonds can recrystalise within the terpene sauce as it sits on the shelf. This results in an unbelievably flavourful and heavy hitting extract.

Distillate

CBD distillate is another highly concentrate powerful and versatile form of CBD. This broad spectrum extract is highly potent and can be used in many different products. In fact many of the broad spectrum CBD products you see before you today are created using CBD distillate.

Ultimately how CBD dabs taste will hinge on which terpenes are used. There are 3 main types that producers can use including matched terpenes, botanical terpenes and cannabis terpenes. The difference between them is that matched terpenes are lab made whereas botanical terps are extracted from flowers, etc. Finally cannabis terpenes, are extracted from the cannabis plant. Of course the latter is going to provide the most effective experience.

Where cannabis terpenes are used or retained CBD dabs taste similar to real cannabis dabs. Dabs containing botanical terpenes on the other hand, will taste similar but they can be a little overpowering.

Dabbing CBD offers different effects than any other method of taking. This is due to the potency of CBD concentrates reaching up to 80% cannabinoids. A dab of CBD is going to deliver significantly more CBD into your system than CBD capsules or CBD oil for example. Moreover inhaling CBD is the most bioavailable way to consume it.

Finally terpenes are frequently added to these extracts to maximise flavour but they too have their unique effects on our bodies. Thanks to this you can enjoy unique CBD experiences with each terpene profile. This is the perfect storm for a seriously potent CBD experience. Frequently CBD dabbing users report feeling calmer, improved mood and relief from pain.

There are a number of options at your disposal when dabbing CBD. The traditional method is through a dab rig. A glass bong-like piece with a nail or a quartz banger attached especially for concentrates. The process involves heating the banger to a desired temperature and then vapourising your extract. Extras like dab tools, carb caps and terp pearls will optimise your dab rig experience.

Increasingly however, thanks largely to the innnovation of companies like Puffco and PAX, people are using dab pens to vapourise CBD dabs.  These convenient, handheld devices are designedf or vapourising small amounts of concentrates. They are useful for those who need CBD hits while out and about.

Other methods of vaping CBD dabs exist, such as e-rigs, a kind of hybrid between a dab pen and a dab rig but they are not used as often.

CBD dabs are absolutely safe providing they have been purged correctly. If they haven't then there could be some residual solvents left over that may cause harm. This is why it is important to choose a reputable supplier for CBD concentrates.

At Hemptations you can expect high quality concentrates. Not only do we use organic hemp for the cleanest possible raw material (quality in, quality out) but our suppliers also test their products for any nasty residuals and heavy metals. This ensures you get a high quality and above all safe CBD dab each and every time.

Similar to other CBD vaping products CBD dabs tend to last between 1 and 3 hours. This is of course significantly shorter than CBD edibles or CBD drinks that can affect us for up to 7 hours. With that said dabbing CBD is by far the most efficient way to deliver high doses of CBD into your system. The bioavailability of inhaled CBD is so much greater than any other method of delivery.

The best wax for CBD dabbing ultimately depends on preference. All extracts are produce a fairly similar end result. Whether you go for shatter, distillate, H4CBD wax crumble or diamonds and sauce they are potent and only require a little at a time.

While CBD dabs are a little more expensive than other CBD products, they are absolutely worth it. Dabbing CBD a delightful experience with the array of terpene profiles available. Moreover it is an incredibly efficient way of consuming CBD as only a little is required each time. If you like cannabis terpenes and heavy hitting doses of cannabinoids in each inhale then CBD dabs are 100% worth it! Scroll back up and add that wax to your basket.
