A lot of Delta 8 THC products come in relatively small doses. Most gummies have 25 mg of D8 or less. Flower pre-rolls contain 1 gram of D8. If you are a more experienced Delta 8 THC user, it can sometimes feel like you aren’t getting enough to feel potent effects. You need Delta 8 Dabs!
Delta 8 Dabs are Delta 8 THC concentrates that have a LOT more D8 than most products out there. Concentrates are often dabbed, which is a fast and effective way to feel the many benefits of Delta 8 THC.
This might all sound like an alien language to you! So let’s go over what concentrates are, how to dab them, and everything else you need to know about Delta 8 dabs!
Sometimes experienced Delta 8 THC users want something that hits harder and faster. That’s where Delta 8 dabs come in.
Delta 8 dabs contain a 90% concentration or more of Delta 8 THC. Most have about 95% Delta 8 distillate. The remaining 5% are terpenes also from the hemp plant where the Delta 8 was extracted. Because of the high concentration of Delta 8 THC, dabs are fast-acting and extra potent.
Delta 8 THC is considered a “minor” phytocannabinoid. That’s because there is such a small amount in the hemp plant. This can make it a little more complex to extract Delta 8, especially for a pure Delta 8 concentrate like a dab. Delta 8 doesn’t turn into a resin, shatter, or crumble very easily. That’s why you won’t find many on the market.
Delta 8 THC is an increasingly popular phytocannabinoid because it creates the same euphoric experience as Delta 9 THC but is usually about half the strength. This means similar benefits without any overwhelming feelings or unwanted side effects.
Making the best Delta 8 THC concentrate is all about extracting the cleanest D8 possible. You don’t want to get any other phytocannabinoids in the mix. This is usually done with a few different proven methods.
The first is a solvent-based extraction. Manufacturers often use solvent-based methods to create large volumes of extract. The chemical solvent usually used is ethanol, butane, propane, or carbon dioxide, which strips the cannabinoids and terpenes from the plant material.
Following this process, a “purging” is performed. This is when the remaining chemical solvent is evaporated from the extract. This leaves the pure, concentrated Delta 8 THC.
The other type of extraction is solventless. These extractions use mechanical techniques that utilize pressure, temperature, and filtration to concentrate the D8 from the plant material. Some of the tools used in this method are even found at home.
While more labor-intensive, this process is often preferred because it’s seen as more handmade and natural. Trustworthy brands have their concentrates 3rd party lab tested to produce a Certificate of Analysis (COA) to show the product’s detailed chemical breakdown.
The concentrates created using these extraction methods are usually categorized by their consistency. Here are some of the most common Delta 8 THC concentrates you’ll come across.
This concentrate is hard and translucent. They get the name “shatter” because they can break like glass. Shatter is sometimes more cost-effective because it doesn’t require additional processing after the extraction process. It’s also easy to dose. Shatter can be handled at room temperature, and you need to be careful when using a tool, so it doesn’t shatter apart.
This concentrate is soft and opaque. The consistency can vary a bit based on heat, moisture, and the purging process. The two most common consistencies are moist with terpenes (known as budder, frosting, etc.) or dry and porous with chunky crumbs (known as crumble).
Glossy and flat, this is a soft concentrate that’s sometimes compared to taffy. It can look like shatter but is usually a lot more pliable. Some Delta 8 users prefer pull n’ snap because it’s easy to work with. But keep the temperature in mind: They can become stringy in too warm temperatures.
Delta 8 THC is blowing up. The market continues to explode, meaning more and more products are available to experience. One product becoming a bit more prominent is Delta 8 dabs. That’s because they provide all of the benefits of D8 at the highest level!
You’ll feel the benefits of D8 almost instantly when you use concentrates. You can expect to experience the positive effects within 30 minutes or less.
There is an abundance of strains to enjoy, all producing their own unique experiences. Each strain has its own unique terpene profile, some offering serenity while others provide an extra burst of energy.
D8 is great at relieving aches, swelling, and joint stiffness. This makes it perfect after a long day at work or a tough workout. You’ll feel discomfort melting away, leaving you feeling relieved and comforted.
Delta 8 THC interacts with our brain in a way that reduces negative feelings. This includes anxiousness, stress, anger, and sadness. D8 will make you clear-minded and replace negativity with creativity, positivity, and motivation. Take D8 before tackling a passion project, working on an important task, or going on errands.
It’s no secret that D8 can help you relax and let negative physical and emotional feelings slip away. This can help you get some reset. But D8 can do more than that. It often promotes deeper sleep, helping you regulate your sleeping schedule and get a better night’s sleep. You’ll feel rejuvenated when you wake up the next morning!
Delta 8 THC can keep you eating healthy and active by reducing nausea and other sickness symptoms. You can remain consistent and feel balanced overall when using Delta 8 THC (instead of laying around with an upset stomach).
You can dab any Delta 8 THC concentrate! This includes shatter, wax, crumble, and pull n’ snap. It’s really up to you! Each D8 concentrate has a different consistency and texture. So it’s all personal preference.
The important thing to remember is that you can only dab concentrates, which have a higher concentration of D8. Compared to regular D8 products, concentrates have between 50 and 99%.
Dabbing is not for everyone. If you’re new to Delta 8, you may want to consider other D8 products that you can smoke, eat, or use sublingually. But people with a higher tolerance or who want more potent effects will often turn to D8 concentrates because they are fast-acting and powerful. But there are some things you need to keep in mind when learning how to dab.
There’s a traditional setup you’ll need if you want to dab. While dabbing technology is always changing, here is the current supply list.
A quick note on e-nails! This is short for electronic nails. While more expensive than the usual nails, this can be a worthwhile investment for frequent dabbers. You won’t need a nail and torch, taking away a lot of the danger and complication of dabbing.
After gathering your supplies, you’ll need to measure out the dab. Different concentrates have different amounts of Delta 8 THC. You should be aware of the potency before dabbing. It’s generally recommended that you start with a small dose to see how you react.
So what’s a small dose? It’s no bigger than a crumb! While it doesn’t look like too much, it’s a lot of D8, especially in solvent-based concentrates, which have 90% or more D8 most of the time. For example, a concentrate with 80% D8 is 800 mg of the phytocannabinoid. The usual recommended dosage for D8 is 5 to 10 mg for beginners.
Once you have the required equipment and your preferred dose, it’s time to dab!
Dabbing is an intense and euphoric experience that makes it the method of choice for experienced Delta 8 THC users. Dabbing is the most potent way to use D8 since concentrates have around 90% D8!
Delta 8 dabs are sometimes a bit tricky to use. They have an unfamiliar texture. You also have to be careful with dosing because it’s so much stronger than the average D8 product. And then there’s the dabbing itself!
But once you get the hang of dabbing, you’ll find it to be a very enjoyable experience that creates the euphoric feelings you crave.
