Dab nails
Dab
Nails are the most important accessory of a rig setup. The dab nail is where the
concentrate heating process takes place. The right nail can complete your
dabbing setup. It does not matter how nice your dab rig is if your dab nail is
trash. A dab nail is pretty much the concentrate version of a bowl you would
use on a bong. It holds your concentrates or oils and transfers the vapor into
the rig.
To kick off the dabbing process, you’ll
need to heat the dab nail, which rests on the side of the dab rig. After it has
reached the appropriate temperature, you would then place your concentrates on
the dab nail. After doing so, you would inhale, drawing the smoke into the
piece, and then into your mouth. So, dab nails serve an important purpose in
the dabbing process.
There are many different dab nails that are
made of different materials and various designs. While temperature-controllable
electronic nails, aka e-nails, have hit the market somewhat recently,
they are super expensive and kind of overkill for the vast majority of dabbers.
As such, most nails currently in use come in one of three (or four, if you
include glass) materials: quartz dab nail, ceramic dab nail, and titanium
nail.
