How To Season A Quartz Nail – The Best Method

Byking_adm on January 12, 2021

If you’re into dabbing, then you’ll want to know how to season a quartz nail. If you’re new to dabbing, then you probably have no clue what a quartz nail even is, but you’ve come to the right place. Seasoning a quartz nail can be done in a couple of simple steps.

Seasoning A Quartz Nail Explained

When you see professional level chefs seasoning their frying pans, you can think of dabbers in the same way when they go to season their quartz nails. The seasoning of the pan holds nearly the same purpose as seasoning the nail – to coat the porous area of the pan/nail. Doing this simple process will enrich the flavor of the food you’re cooking, and the flavor of the dabs, as well. Seasoning your quartz nail is also an important process to give it a good clean after the manufacturing process. Seasoning it will help get rid of any impurities on it.

Do You Absolutely Have To Season Your Quartz Nail?

While you don’t necessarily have to wash a frying pan before using it, it’s highly recommended, and this goes the same way for quartz nails. You’ll want a quartz nail to be clean before using it so that it won’t produce a metallic aftertaste when you begin dabbing.

The number one reason why people season their quartz nails is so that the dabs will taste better. All new quartz nails should be seasoned, and if you’ve cleaned them, they should be seasoned after that too.

Some people decide not to even both with seasoning their quartz nails. A lot of people that use quartz nails will give them a good clean after dabbing so that the residue is free and clear of it. If you give your quartz nail a good clean after every dabbing session, seasoning never has a chance to build upon the surface of it. Everyone has their own personal preferences when it comes time to cleaning and seasoning quartz nails.

How To Season A Quartz Nail

You should be able to season your quartz nail with a couple of simple and straightforward steps.

1. Grab your quartz nail and then pop it in your dabbing rig.
2. If you have a brand new nail, there’s a good chance that there’s still some dirt or residue on it from the manufacturing process. You’ll want to bring the quartz nail to a temperature that will make it glow from the heat. Doing this will ensure that any grime or residue is burnt off of it. After you do this step, your quartz nail is now clean and sterile.
3. Give the quartz nail a chance to cool off a bit, but not to the point where it’s cold. While the quartz nail is still slightly warm, find a Q-tip and get rid of any residue on the inside of the quartz nail.
4. The quartz nail is now ready to be seasoned. You’ll want a dab tool for this and a bit of oil to season the quartz nail with. The concentrate is the best oil to use for this step. If you happen to have any reclaimed oil, you can use that, as well. If you don’t have any reclaimed oil on hand, then you can just use any type of natural oil.
5. Once you’ve got your oil ready, you’ll need to heat up the quartz nail again. The quartz nail should be brought to a heat that’s just a tad warmer than you would use it for dabbing. After it reaches about 600-700 degrees Fahrenheit, add some oil directly to the inner surface of the quartz nail. Ensure that you’re using enough oil so that the whole inner surface of the nail is covered. Don’t breathe in any of the fumes during this process. Give the oil a chance to smoke and meld with the pores in the quartz nail.
6. This process only typically needs to be done one time, but seasoning it numerous times won’t hurt, either. The whole point of it is to coat the inner surface with oil. If you start to notice that the oil is burning too fast, or that bubbles start forming, then that’s an indicator that the quartz nail is too hot.

That’s all the steps to season your quartz nail. Dabbing with a newly seasoned quartz nail will taste much more pleasant than one that’s just come out of manufacturing. There are certain concentrates that will work better on a seasoned quartz nail as opposed to one that’s not seasoned.

Another way to season your quartz nail is by just taking low-temperature dabs with it. It’ll only take a couple of dabbing sessions until you begin seeing some wax starting to build on the inner portion of the quartz nail. The layer of residual build-up shouldn’t be a dark brown or black color. In addition, if you start noticing that there’s stuff starting to burn to the inside of the quartz nail, this means you’re dabbing at much too high of temperatures, and the oxidation process is being sped up because of it. Dabbing at high temperatures will give your quartz nail a shorter life, and it will ruin the appearance of it as well. Low-temperature dabs should be taken at around 500 degrees Fahrenheit. These temperatures will also make your lungs feel much better.
