dab, dabbing

A dab is a small amount of concentrated cannabis, such as shatter or wax, that is consumed using a dab rig or dab pen, or vaporizer. A small amount of concentrate is touched against a heat source, in most cases a titanium, glass, quartz or ceramic nail, to create a vapour, which is inhaled through the mouthpiece. Dabbing requires more equipment and setup than other methods of consumption, and caution should be used due to the high temperatures.
