What Is A Dabber?
A dabber is a tool used to make it easier to manipulate your concentrate onto the banger or nail. Concentrates come in different consistencies like, resin, oil, wax form, as “shatter” or “crumble”. These range from runny and sticky, to dry and brittle, which makes them tricky to work with. A dab tool provides a better grip and more control as you put it onto your dab rig. This helps you control dosing and avoid waste.
What Are Dabbers Made From?
Dab tools can be made from titanium, stainless steel, or glass. Stainless steel and titanium are popular for their durability and for providing the best flavor experience. The handles on dabbers can be made from materials ranging from wood, glass, and more, often with intricate designs on them.
Ceramic and glass work well for dab tools but can break easily.
There are also dabbers in a convenient electric form that heat the tip to quickly dispense your concentrate.
What are Different Types of Dab Tools?
Dab tools tend to look a bit like dental instruments. The Paddle tool is the most versatile, letting you handle multiple types of concentrate. The Scoop is best for working with runnier versions of concentrate, like oils. If you prefer wax concentrates, the Pick has a design suited to handling sticker forms.
How To Choose a Dab Tool?
First, consider the material. Stainless steel and titanium with either resin or wood handles are the most popular dabbers. Then choose a style based on your preferred form of concentrate. A paddle style is most versatile, a scoop is good for liquid concentrates, and a pick helps break up shatter or crumble material.
Use To Use a Dab Tool?
Choose your preferred tool and pick up a small amount of concentrate. Apply the concentrate to the heated nail or banger; as it melts, it will slide off the tool and begin to vaporize atop the banger.
How Do I Clean My Dabbing Tools?
Concentrates, especially wax or resin, can build up on your dabbing tools. Like your dab rig, they should be cleaned regularly (at least once a week). Clean your dabber with a cloth or paper towel dampened with rubbing alcohol. This will loosen the debris; then dry completely with a clean paper cloth.. Avoid using alcohol on the handles as it could damage them. You can also soak your dab tool in isopropyl alcohol for about 30 minutes to loosen the debris, then dry completely with a clean paper cloth. .
