1. Gather Your Tools

To dab the right way, you’ll need:

• Dab Rig or Nectar Collector: Your heating and inhalation device.
• Nail or Banger: Usually made of quartz, titanium, or ceramic—each with different heat retention and flavor profiles.
• Carb Cap: Helps regulate airflow and keep heat in.
• Dabber Tool: For handling your concentrate safely and precisely.
• Butane Torch or E-Nail: For heating your nail or banger.
• Timer: To track cool-down time for perfect low-temp dabs.

2. Prep Your Rig

1. Fill your rig with just enough water to create smooth bubbles—no splashback.
2. Secure your banger or nail to the rig’s joint.
3. Wipe your dab tool clean for a fresh, smooth hit.

3. Heat Your Nail

Use your butane torch to evenly heat the banger until it glows (20–30 seconds). Then let it cool to around 350–400°F:

• Quartz: Let it cool 45–60 seconds.
• Titanium: Cool down for 20–30 seconds.

Using an e-nail? Just set it to 350°F and wait for it to stabilize.

If you’re dabbing on game day or prepping for a special event, we even deliver to popular spots like Nationals Park and Capitol Riverfront.

4. Dab It

1. Use your dab tool to pick up a rice-sized amount of concentrate.
2. Touch the dab to the hot nail and begin inhaling through the mouthpiece.
3. Place your carb cap over the nail to maximize vaporization and flavor.

5. Inhale Smoothly

• Inhale slowly and evenly for about 5 seconds to get a full draw.
• Exhale gently and enjoy the effects of your perfectly dosed hit.

6. Clean Up

• While the nail is still warm, use a cotton swab to wipe away any residue.
• Dump out the water after each session and clean your rig weekly for best results.
