How To Clean A Dab Rig – A Step By Step All Intensive Guide

ByKingCrop Team on September 30, 2020

Using a dab rig to consume marijuana is becoming a ridiculously popular way of consuming cannabis. Because of this, it should come as no surprise whatsoever that the topic, “How To Clean A Dab Rig” is being asked a lot. In this article, we’ll cover everything from what a dab rig is, to what it does, and of course how to clean it. This article is for both beginners and experts alike, so all are welcome.

First of all, let’s identify what a dab rig actually is. A dab rig is basically a small cylindrical pipe that’s used to vaporize various cannabis concentrates. Concentrates are basically super-pure forms of weed. The definition is debated upon, but overall concentrates are typically just all the best parts of marijuana put together. Some people confuse dab rigs with bongs, and although they’re similar, they’re actually quite different. Dab rigs are much smaller and are known for their efficiency when compared to bongs. They’ve also been known to be more effective and potent. Some people even call them purer!

One incredibly large advantage that a dab rig has over a bong is easy to clean up! Dab rigs vaporize, whereas bongs use a form of combustion. Said combustion leaves a hefty layer of resin behind, whereas the dab rig does not. This means it’s not only easier to clean, but you also don’t need to clean it as often. With all of this in mind, let’s get right into our cleaning guide.

Materials

First, you’ll need a few supplies. The first being rubbing alcohol. This will make sure you get a deep clean! Second is sea salt. Typically the coarser is better. You’ll also need a large container (although a large plastic bag that can be sealed will also work), and last but not least, a decent amount of cotton swabs.

• Step 1 – When cleaning your dab rig, you want to start by locating your nail and torching it. This will ensure any carbon deposits are dealt with. This is typically super effective for averagely dirty nails. However, if the carbon deposits are not easily burned off, you may need to wipe it down afterward with a cotton swab that’s been dipped in rubbing alcohol.
• Step 2 – Take your newly cleaned nail and remove it from the dab rig. This is usually only necessary if the torching didn’t do a great job, but you can also do it just for the sake of extra cleanliness. Put your nail in a bag that’s been filled with rubbing alcohol. If the nail is really dirty you can add a little bit of salt to help finish it off.
• Step 3 – This one’s pretty simple and self-explanatory. Take your dab rig, and pour out the water!
• Step 4 – Now that the water is poured out, you’re going to want to replace it with the rubbing alcohol. If you think that the dab rig is super dirty, try adding salt beforehand. It will loosen everything up and allow the alcohol to do its job far more effectively.
• Step 5 – This is another step that you don’t necessarily have to do if you think your rig is somewhat clean already. If not, keep reading this step! Pick up the rig and cover all the holes with your hands. Give it a shake for a few seconds. This will help loosen up everything. Don’t worry, your rig is designed to shake, just don’t go crazy.
• Step 6 – The last thing you’ll need to do is empty the alcohol from the rig, and rinse all components. Once you’ve done so you can put your nail back where it belongs.
