Exploring Cannabis Concentrates Without a Dab Rig
Have you heard about the world of concentrates but aren't quite ready to invest in a dab rig? No worries! You can still enjoy the experience. We're here to provide you with some tips on how to do so.
Adding to Bowls
Layering Method: First, put a layer of flower in your bowl. Then add a small amount of concentrate (your choice of Bubble Hash, Sauce, Sugar, Live Budder, or Live Rosin Badder). Finally, top it off with another layer of flower. Light up and enjoy!
Why It’s Great: This method is super straightforward and only requires your regular smoking apparatus.
Tips: Use a hemp wick for a cleaner burn, and make sure to light it evenly so you can savor the full flavor profile of the concentrate and flower.
Mixing with PreRolls
Inside the PreRoll: Unroll a pre-rolled joint carefully and sprinkle your chosen concentrate evenly over the flower. Re-roll the joint tightly.
Why It’s Great: This allows you to customize your pre-rolls and is perfect for sharing.
Tips: Try to distribute the concentrate as evenly as possible for consistent hits throughout the smoke session.
Twaxing: Coat the outside of your finished joint with a thin layer of concentrate, then roll it in kief if you’d like. Allow it to dry before smoking.
Why It’s Great: Adds a potent kick and extra flavor to your joint.
Tips: Be mindful of how much you apply, as it can make your joint run unevenly if too heavily coated.
Hot Knife Method
What You'll Need: Two butter knives, a heat source (like a stove), and a cut-off bottle top or a straw.
Steps: Heat the tips of the butter knives over the heat source until they’re very hot. Place a small piece of concentrate on one knife, then press it with the other knife. Inhale the vapor through your cut-off bottle top or straw.
Why It’s Great: No special gear needed—most of these items are readily available at home.
Caution: This method can be hazardous due to the hot knives, so please proceed with caution.
Remember that concentrates are potent, so it's always best to start with a small amount, particularly if you're new to this form of cannabis. Enjoy your journey into the world of cannabis concentrates, even if a dab rig isn't in the picture (yet!).
