Dabbing is considered one of the most popular ways to engage with concentrates, extracts, and CBD. Dabbing culture, devices and methods have evolved as the industry continues on the path to normalization and new technology is researched and developed.
Simply defined, dabbing is the flash vaporization of a concentrate, extract, or CBD that is placed on a hot surface to vaporize and inhale. At first, dabbing with traditional tools can seem like a daunting process – but with practice, and employing the use of new technologies and devices, it has become easier than ever.
What to Expect When Dabbing
While the types, potencies and consistencies will vary with all concentrates, extracts, and CBD, bear in mind that a little bit often goes a long way. Starting off with smaller doses is highly recommended, as concentrates, extracts, and CBD are much more potent than their original starting material.
Inhaling too much vaporized concentrates, extracts, or CBD at once can sometimes lead to an overwhelming and unpleasant experience for beginners. Properly dosing concentrate is a delicate process, and up until now, has not been an exact science. DabTabs brand dablets are the first and only extract delivery system that has been independently lab certified to hold a specific volume of extract, giving the consumer control over their intake.

What Are DabTabs?
A DabTabs dosable dablet is a brand new way to enjoy cannabis concentrates and extracts. DabTabs brand dablets come pre-loaded with cannabis concentrate, helping reduce waste from packaging or user error.
They are made from a natural, mineral based ceramic, which is engineered to hold a specific volume of cannabis concentrates, extracts, or CBD. What makes us better than traditional dabs? DabTabs dablets allow you to vaporize a measured dose of concentrates, extracts, or CBD while providing all of the flavor of a “traditional dab” with far more convenience and less mess. A dablet holds the concentrates, extracts, or CBD within its porous core and is only released when it reaches the optimal vaping temperature of around 450°F or higher. This leaves dablets dry to the touch and allows for easy transportation and storage.
