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.
