What Are Cannabis Dabs and How Do They Look?
What makes marijuana so great is that it comes in many different shapes and forms. You can choose between flowers, liquids, wax, medical strains, dabs, among others. What we’re interested in today are dabs.
These brownish, sticky concentrates have been gaining a lot of popularity recently and it’s no wonder – they can get you insanely high. In this article, we will discuss what a dab is and how it looks, learn how to smoke it, and see if there are any dangers involved with smoking dabs. Let’s start.
What Are Cannabis Dabs and How Do They Look?
Dabs are a type of marijuana concentrate which has extremely high THC potency. Dabs are also known as concentrated Butane Hash Oil (BHO). Manufacturers often use butane and carbon dioxide to extract these concentrates. That is precisely why their texture tends to be sticky and gooey.
CBD can also be extracted with the same method. However, it’s a less popular choice because it has no added benefits. THC dabs, on the other hand, can get you insanely high in a short amount of time. Some dabs cannabis can contain anywhere from 60%-90% of THC, which is just crazy.
How To Smoke a Dab?
Smoking a dab is completely different than smoking a regular joint – it requires a totally different technique and apparatus. While you can sprinkle some dab in your joints, it’s much more effective to smoke it through a dab rig. Because dab smoking has been very popularized in recent years, you can find all sorts of dab rigs and other dab-smoking devices.
Here’s what you need to smoke a dab:
- A dab rig – this a device that’s quite similar to bongs in appearance. It is a glass structure that has a dedicated fitting for a nail that is used to store and smoke the dab.
- Quartz rig nail -a rig nail is similar to bong bowls, you use it to place the dab before heating it up.
- Dabbers – Dabbers are used to pick up the concentrate and place it on the quartz rig nail.
- Carb Caps – a carb cap helps with regulating the airflow
- Torch – to smoke a dab, you need to heat it up. Instead of using a lighter, we recommend a smaller torch.
Now that you have all the equipment, here are the steps you should follow:
- Get your torch and start heating up the nail. Make sure that it’s steaming hot before you stop.
- Once the nail is properly heated, get your torch out of the way. Quartz rigs require a cooling period of about 45 seconds and 10 seconds for titanium nails.
- Grab your dabber and pick up the concentrate.
- Put the concentrate on the nail.
- Grab the rig and start inhaling the smoke.
- Use a carb cap to cover the nail and continue inhaling smoke.

HISTORY OF SHANGO
Founded in 2014, Shango is already a recognized leader in the cannabis industry and marketplace, as well as in the media. Our products are now available in six Shango-licensed retail stores, as well as in nearly 150 independent dispensaries throughout Nevada, Oregon and Washington. This is how we got here:
LOCATION EXPANSION & DEVELOPMENT
Shango has become America’s leading multi-faceted national cannabis brand. There are far more independently owned retail dispensaries than those licensees with multiple locations or vertical licensing. Shango retail stores are firmly entrenched in both states, while also boasting a state-of-the-art grow facility in Washington. After the high quality of Shango products hit the marketplace, we created our Wholesale Division to sell premium quality Shango-branded flower, extracts and edibles to this rapidly growing market to single licensees.
Shango currently serves nearly 150 wholesale customers in Oregon, Nevada and Washington. Shango’s Wholesale Division already represents a significant portion of our total revenue. This will only increase as new state markets become viable and available to the company. Our wholesale business strategy is critical to establishing and growing Shango as a highly visible, national cannabis brand.
One of Shango’s goals is to own and operate the maximum number of retail cannabis stores permitted in each new state market and establish Shango as the cannabis retailer and distributor of choice across America. Shango is preparing for expansion into California, Michigan, New Jersey, Florida and other existing and emerging state markets across the country. The next stop is Europe, where Shango CBD and Neuro XPF products soon will be distributed in more than a dozen countries.
“Building this kind of trusted brand is essential for producing high quality genetics and consistency for our customers that rely on Shango to meet their individual needs within the cannabis industry,” Shango CEO Brandon Rexroad says. “Since its inception, all of our brand’s development, production, product, marketing and sales strategies and tactics have been designed to better serve our loyal customers and B2B retail partners.”
Shango’s retail stores in Oregon and Nevada, clearly demonstrate why we will achieve our goal and what our international retail presence will be in the future.
BUSINESS CULTURE
Shango has quickly become America’s premiere national cannabis brand by appealing to a broad range of consumers. Through vertical licensing, strong business partners, innovative thinking and qualified staff members; Shango is poised to become a driving force in the cannabis industry throughout the world. As the leading owner of cultivation, manufacturing and dispensary locations in multiple states, we are highly qualified and thoroughly prepared to meet the challenges of the quickly expanding cannabis industry. No cannabis brand in the United States has advanced as quickly or as far.
Almost overnight, cannabis has become Big Business. The exploding cannabis marketplace presents almost unlimited opportunities and promises incredible returns. But only companies with a serious commitment and all of the proper talent, expertise, facilities, funding and connections will actually be able to compete successfully and reap these rewards.
The legalization of cannabis has been tantamount to The Big Bang. The cannabis industry, state markets and consumer demand have exploded, and viable cannabis companies are moving at light speed to secure licenses, deliver product and capture market share. Shango is already there.
Amid this maelstrom of chaos, confusion and constant change, Shango is steadily and patiently executing its in-place business development plan, product development and marketing strategies. We continue working the appropriate government and political channels to create growth opportunities in new and existing markets. We continue to align with qualified investors and strategic partners that will help bring these strategies and opportunities to full fruition.
Shango has sharp eyes. One is focused on accomplishing our immediate mission, but the other never loses sight of the future and the objectives we constantly pursue. We pledge that:
- Shango will constantly anticipate and satisfy the wants and needs of cannabis consumers with new strains, new products and new ways to enjoy them.
- We will constantly strive to improve the quality of the cannabis experience and further distance Shango from all competitors.
- We will constantly champion The Power of the Plant to promote health, healing and happiness, and constantly advocate the responsible use of all cannabis products.
- Shango will be recognized and trusted as the cannabis brand of choice across America and around the world.
Everything we do moves us toward realizing this vision.
