How to Use Shatter: Your Shatter Guide To Dabbing

Updated on July 4, 2021, By the Weed Delivery Vancouver Team

 

Shatter is a highly potent cannabis concentrate that has been extracted from the cannabis plant and processed with a solvent. It varies in colour from honey yellow to the darker yellow of olive oil. It is aptly named shatter due to its fragile, breakable nature. Being easy to break up makes it perfect for dabbing. Shatter can be solid and brittle or softer and easier to stretch like taffy. Let’s take a look at how to use shatter and the most common method, i.e. dabbing. 

 

How to Use Shatter: Your Shatter Guide To Dabbing

To dab, you simply heat the weed extract to produce smoke which you then inhale. You can use special equipment known as a dab rig. It may seem like it is the same as smoking marijuana flowers, but there are significant differences. 

By heating the concentrate, you get an immediate dose of THC. Shatter is highly potent in THC and is considered one of the purest extracts on the market. Dabbing is the most effective way to use shatter wax. 

Buying A Dab Rig

If you decide that cannabis shatter is the product for you, you will need to invest in a dab rig. That is essentially a type of vaping device akin to a bong. There is no bowl for water, though, only a dome and a nail. You place your shatter on the nail. The nail should be crafted from titanium for optimal durability. 

 

If you don’t have a rig, you can smoke the shatter in other ways, but dabbing gives the best experience.

 

How Safe Is Dabbing?

Dabbing is an ideal way to use shatter as it gives you a fast and robust high. The hot vapour can irritate your lungs, so we advise not dabbing on the regular. Mix it up with other products such as cannabis edibles. Consult with your doctor about what dosage is best for you and any possible interactions with prescription medications. 

Furthermore, the best thing you can do to make using shatter a safe experience is being responsible and taking the appropriate amounts. You don’t want to overdo it with shatter because it is a very potent weed concentrate.
