A Quick Guide to Dab Rigs: Function, Types, and Advantages
Dab rigs are glass pipes that resemble bongs but tend to be smaller. Their heating and manufacturing process differs from that of a traditional bong. The "nail" is the central part of a dab rig used to smoke marijuana. It sits on top of a glass joint and must be in good condition for the user to smoke marijuana without any problems. The procedure begins with heating the nail with a hand-torch. Eventually, the nail reaches a very high temperature. When the proper temperature is reached, the product is "dabbed" onto the heated nail, generating a flash that transforms it into vapor and then inhaled.
