Dabbing is the process of vaporizing small amounts “dabs” of cannabis concentrates or extracts.
Dabbing at low temperatures between 350°-450°F is considered to be low temp dabbing. Low temperature dabbing results in long, flavorful, smooth rips. Low temp dabs are easier on your lungs and offer more flavorful hits. Low temp dabs also ensure that no harmful compounds are produced during your dabbing experience. While low temp dabs may provide a less intense effect, these effects can be more prolonged when compared to high temp dabs. Many believe this is because of the effect from consuming not just the cannabinoids but also the terpenes which can be burned off and eliminated at higher temps.THC does not activate until it reaches 315 °F and CBD has a boiling point of 320–356 °F. Low temp dabbing between 350°-450°F vaporizes terpene profiles without burning them, allowing for the best possible flavor as originally intended by the extraction process.
450°F – 600°F (232°C – 315°C): In this medium temperature setting, you’ll experience lower flavor profiles but likely higher cloud production and stronger, more intense psychoactive effects but for a shorter time. 600°F – 900°F (315°C – 482°C): High temp dabs occur when the nail reaches temperatures of 600° and above (red hot), resulting in instantaneous vaporization of the concentrate and a strong, harsh hit. High temp dabs tend to offer much more intense psychoactive effects at a faster rate than low temp dabs. Users who dab in this range will see their concentrates combust quickly and produce thick clouds when vaporizing. Many of the unique flavors will be lost at these temperatures as more of the terpenes will be burnt off.
