what is a dab?

I see it on shirts and key chains and many people speak of it but what is it exactly? A certain way to smoke or roll? Serious ? Plz no assholes

I urban dictionaried it. Most were about touching your foot while on a bike, but the last two were drug related and if it's on shirts and key-chains I guess it's some stupid people thinking they're cool. Here's the best one for the drug related aspect.

I think it is about dabbing up a little hash oil. Or doing a little dab

I've always wondered as well. I've seen it mentioned here before, but its not a term anyone around here uses

A dab is what people say instead of hit, when referring to smoking oil.

Hey man let's do some dabs. Aka hey man let's take some oil hits.

I had no idea the term was so foreign to so many people!

I didn't know what it was until my friend showed me a couple months ago.

Now I wanna get a glass on glass bong for my bday and all the pieces to take dabs ...


Those titanium pieces you dab off of are kinda pricey huh ?

I only heard it recently too. Its like a whole other subset of weird gear and complex procedures.
I`m freakin out dude!!!!

Seems a bit convoluted to me but maybe I'm not a connoisseur. April knows her stuff, and there's the concentrates forum. I think Matt fucked off though..

I got my titanium nail for like 30 bucks, which was a smoking deal. But they need to be made out of grade 1 or 2 titanium, or at least that's what I hear.

Well thank you to all that responded. I'd like to try it sometime

The whole concentrates thing is still evolving. Its just crazy how fast stuff changes in this industry. I'm still in shock at how much a good glass bong costs now. $500, and up? Really? I'm still figuring out the methods of dabs, and which one I want to buy into. Glass and gear are so expensive you have to know what you want. I just use a small special glass bowl and a glass rod. Feels like doing meth, but hits oh so good!

I love bho though, today I got a big can of vector to do a small run tomorrow.

Am I the only one who doesn't care for the bho? Makes me tired as hell, and I don't like the cough or methodology of ingestion...

If you have chronic pain, its awsome to get fully comfy and sleep for more than a few hours a night. It is just so dangerous to make though.

I have such a low tolerance I can hardly hack it.

I've been into the wax lately.... the wax of super lemon haze does me in for a few hours of serious relief.I use the eclipse h2o vape bong attachment, works great.

Matt's still around, just busy with life Ur sweet but my knowledge of the dab scene is limited, I was lucky to be able to sample anything I wanted, which I did, a few times.... lol hey I spent hours at the dab bar, what else is a lady suppose to do

Dabs are not for everyone, i'm 5"1 100lbs, no amount of edibles or dabs have ever taken me out, Matt on the other hand passed out every night while watching TV.... and he did 1/4 of the edibles/dabs.

Dabs are for people who have extra money to play with, the pieces and hash itself are not cheap, but so worth it, Fuck I miss Cali and Matt

Haha...I have more high grade BHO than I know what to do with at the moment...I still have a case of butane chilling in my room, and like 1/4 lb of buds to blast...I just wanna try to make a dent in the BHO I already have, first.

I was at venice beach, shopping around for glass pieces the other day...I was asking about concentrate pieces, and this guy shows me all these 400 dollar pieces that I was drooling over...He was all like "Price? We're already smoking caviar...". I understand that point of view from people who don't grow, and I'm thankful that I DO grow...lol

I'm in love with concentrates...Since I don't have bubble bags, I'm all about the BHO at the moment. I get decent butane(Power 5x, 7x) for 30 bucks a case at venice, and I have plenty of buds(not trim ) to run, now I need to upgrade my oil rig. I've been using a double percolated glass on glass bong, but the pull is too hard, even without water in the 2nd chamber

When I just wanna get shit face fucked up, I just use my 18mm adapter with my Ti nail, and a glass on glass whip for my vaporizer(well, this one is only used for BHO)

I <3 Concentrates!
