New to dabbing

Hello,

I am new to "dabbing" (sorry if it's not the right term, i am still new to this)

I have a few questions on the subject.

First, when making wax, if done properly, does the butane goes all away?

Second, anyone could suggest me a nice piece to dab? All i have is paper as all i smoke is joints .

Thanks for taking time to answer me!

Welcome to RIU.

"First, when making wax, if done properly, does the butane goes all away?"

Very subjective question, but in general terms of speaking; yes if made and purged in the proper manner wax will be free of butane, but usually contains a small amount of hydrocarbons leftover, ideally you want the hydrocarbons below 50 PPM(Parts Per Million).

At the same time, wax can be full of hidden solvent that can get trapped within the oleoresin's matrix.

"Second, anyone could suggest me a nice piece to dab? All i have is paper as all i smoke is joints"

Check out Aqua-lab Technologies, or Highly Educated websites for oil rigs, nails and other dab essentials, if you hurry, they are still on sale right now, I believe it's 25% off everything until the 23rd(Aqua- lab)

You can go cheap on the actual rig, but don't be cheap with your nail, cheap Titanium is very dangerous to your health.

A quality Ti nail should be no cheaper than about 40$ for a small basic nail.

Again, welcome ... Feel free to ask questions, we got some solid members here, that are always willing to help out.

Thanks lot for this detailed answer. Will look into those websites you suggested me. Wish you an awesome week end.

Also, what is the term for dabbing?

Is it actually dabbing? Dab? Dabs? Vaping? Concentrates?

Dabs

Properly purged wax has butane below current levels of health concern. It is still there at a parts per billionth level, as are green alligators and long necked geese, but they are also below current levels of health concern.

There are no absolute zeroes in nature. Only decimal places and "n" zeroes before coming to a whole number. Your drinking water will horrify you at the parts per billionth level.

Good idea vaporizing, instead of combusting!!!! Partially combusted terpenes can be changed by pyrolysis, into free radicals or other aromatic hydrocarbons like benzene.

Sorry, we have always just had our own design pipes made just for ourselves, and I'm still on my original V2 KO Domeless nail, but as has been noted by SDL, Aqua Lab Technologies and Highly Educated have a plethora of quality gear.

Awesome, thanks lot for the information.

Wish you an awesome summer.

Note, the beefier the Ti nail, the more torching is required. My KO v1 nail takes more to heat than the thinner v2, but holds heat longer for immense dabbage, should that be required.
