Dab rigs, bubblers, and recyclers are popular tools in the world of concentrate consumption. But what if you want to use your dab rig to smoke flowers instead? While dab rigs are designed for concentrates, it is indeed possible to smoke flower with them. In this blog, we’ll explore the feasibility, provide a step-by-step guide on setting up a dab rig for smoking flower, and discuss the pros and cons compared to traditional methods.
Is it feasible to use a dab rig to smoke flower?
While dab rigs are typically designed to vaporize concentrate, it is possible to adapt them so that they can be used to smoke flower. The primary difference between a dab rig and a bong is the attachment used for heating and inhaling, with the former using nails or bangers and the latter a bowl.
By swapping out the dab nail or banger for a suitable bowl, you will be able to easily convert your dab rig into a device for smoking flower.
Step-by-step guide to transforming your dab rig
If you are looking to adapt your dab rig so that you can smoke flower, here is our step-by-step guide:
1. Gather your materials
The first step is to gather everything you need, including your dab rig, compatible bowl, lighter, and flower.
2. Clean your dab rig
Next, thoroughly clean your dab rig to ensure no residual concentrate flavours are mixed with your flower.
3. Attach the bowl
Remove your nail or banger from your dab rig and replace it with a glass bowl designed for smoking flowers—just remember to make sure the joint sizes match.
4. Pack the bowl
Grind your flower to a medium consistency and gently pack it into the bowl, avoiding overpacking so there is a good airflow.
5. Fill the chamber with water
Add the right amount of water to your dab rig, just enough so it’s covering the Downstem.
6. Enjoy!
Finally, light the bowl and enjoy the flower!
Pros and cons of using a dab rig to smoke flower
Using a dab rig to smoke flower can provide a number of benefits for users, with versatility being one of the biggest. Users will be able to easily switch between concentrates and flowers depending on their personal preferences. Dab rigs also have superior water filtration compared to smaller bongs, providing you with smoother hits.
However, there are also some negatives. Dab rigs are typically smaller, which means more frequent packing and potentially less smoke per hit. These devices are also designed for high temperatures, so they may require more careful handling.
