Hey there, cannabis enthusiasts! If you’ve recently heard the term “dabbing” and are curious about what it entails, you’re in the right place. Dabbing is a fun and potent way to enjoy cannabis concentrates, but it can feel a bit intimidating if you’re new to it. Don’t worry—this guide will break it down for you in a simple, relatable way, so you can feel confident when you explore concentrates at Joint Operations.
What Are Cannabis Concentrates?
Before we dive into dabbing, let’s talk about what cannabis concentrates are. In short, concentrates are supercharged forms of cannabis that extract the plant’s potent compounds—like THC and CBD—while preserving the flavorful terpenes that give cannabis its distinct aroma and taste. Think of them as the essence of cannabis, condensed into a more powerful form.
Why Dabbing?
So why choose dabbing over other methods of consumption? Here are a few reasons:
- Potency: Dabbing offers a concentrated experience. With THC levels often ranging from 50% to 90%, it’s perfect for those seeking a stronger effect. If you’re looking for a quick and intense high, dabbing is the way to go!
- Flavor: One of the best parts about dabbing is the flavor. Concentrates retain the aromatic compounds from the cannabis plant, making every hit rich and flavorful. It’s like a gourmet experience every time you dab!
- Efficiency: Because you’re using a concentrated form of cannabis, a little goes a long way. You can enjoy the effects without having to consume a large amount of product.
Types of Concentrates to Explore at Joint Operations

How to Dab: A Step-by-Step Guide
Ready to give dabbing a try? Here’s a simple guide to help you get started with cannabis concentrates:
- Gather Your Supplies: You’ll need a dab rig (unless you have an electronic dabber or vape pen designed for concentrates), a dab tool, and, of course, your concentrate of choice.
- Heat the Nail: Using a torch, heat the nail or banger of your dab rig until it’s red hot. This usually takes about 30 seconds.
- Let It Cool: Allow the nail to cool for about 30 seconds to a minute. You want it hot enough to vaporize the concentrate but not so hot that it burns it.
- Dab It: Using your dab tool, scoop a small amount of concentrate and place it on the nail while inhaling through the mouthpiece. You should see vapor rise—this is what you want!
- Enjoy: Inhale slowly and enjoy the flavorful hit. Remember, start small, especially if you’re new to dabbing!
