I’m just gonna come out and say this now….
The most efficient way to dab, is with the least amount of water. If you can handle it, dabbing dry is the most efficient.
When concentrates are cooled with water, they rapidly build up on the inside of the rig or whatever you’re using.
You lose a good amount of each hit as reclaim. Reclaim is what they call concentrate “resin”, yet since there is no combustion, it often stays a much lighter color.
Now I’m not saying people should start out dabbing dry, but if you work your way down to smaller rigs with less and less water, you’ll find the quality of each hit goes up, and you can take much smaller dabs for the same effect as taking larger dabs being smoked through lots of water filtration.
Exhibit A:
A well loved 10mm joint recycler rig. Only takes a couple milliliters of water, provides a great smooth hit. Possibly a perfect travel rig, if you’re comfortable with a torch to heat your rig.

The rig itself has basically never been cleaned. It’s got a nice “petina” or reclaim that has turned it from clear to a deep amber color. A similar shaped rig 4x its size would need to be cleaned regularly to get the built up reclaim out.
That banger is way chazzed. Going on the stocking stuffer list! Lol
