If you’ve ever been in a situation where you have a bunch of cannabis concentrates on hand but nothing to smoke with, you’ll know how frustrating it can be. Learning how to smoke oil without a rig is a handy skill set that will have you smoking your wax or shatter concentrates in no time.
It’s clear that dab rigs can get fairly pricey for the average cannabis user. Unless your someone who uses concentrates on a regular basis, you probably won’t see the need to invest in a dab rig.
The good news is that you don’t have to worry about not having one of those expensive dab rigs to smoke concentrates. There’s a couple of different ways that you can smoke the concentrates without any rig at all. The first five ways are the best ways to smoke concentrates with a rig, and the remaining three are the worst ways to smoke concentrates without a rig.
Using a glass bowl or bong is known to be the simplest and easiest way to smoke concentrates without a dab rig. All you have to do is simply fill your bowl with cannabis, and then put some concentrate right on top of the cannabis. This works well with wax or shatters concentrates. You just light it up and smoke it the same way that you would with any other weed. It’ll give you an extra kick to your high.
Pros:
This method is extremely easy to do.
Cons:
Sometimes using this method can be a little wasteful, and considering concentrates cost more than just cannabis, you might want to use it sparingly. The concentrates don’t stop extinguishing as they do with regular cannabis, so you’ll typically want to just keep taking bong rips so that the smoke won’t all be wasted.
Another downside for some people is that you’ll also taste the cannabis inside the bowl along with the concentrate that you’re using. Some might not like this because they prefer to have the taste of just the concentrate, which won’t happen with this method. Using a glass bowl to smoke pure wax won’t work. Cannabis has to be in the bowl for this method to work effectively.
Helpful Information
Sometimes concentrates can be sticky or kind of melty in consistency. If you pop them in the freezer for around ten minutes, they will solidify to the point that you can place them inside the bowl.
If you put them in the bowl, hold the lighter at a distance from the bowl when you’re taking your first hit. The objective of this is to have the concentrate melt right into the cannabis in the bowl. Don’t inhale too heavily, as this can sometimes create a fire, and more wax will be wasted.
Roll The Concentrates In Joints Or Blunts
If you’re one to enjoy a good joint or blunt, then you’re in luck. Rolling concentrates is a great way to enjoy them and what they have to offer. There are two different ways that you can approach this method.
With the first method, all you have to do is roll it on the outer part of the blunt or joint that you’re smoking out of. Some people like to roll it in a circular pattern, and some just like putting little bumps of concentrate on the surface. This all boils down to personal preference. You’ll have to hold the blunt or joint that you just added concentrate on at a certain angle so that it won’t drip off while you’re smoking it.
Some cannabis users also just roll the concentrate on the inner part of the joint or blunt. Some will add a little trail of concentrate alongside the inner length of the rolling paper and then add in the cannabis.
Pros:
This is a very easy method to do if you’re already skilled in rolling joints or blunts. All you need is joint papers, the concentrate, and your weed of choice.
Cons:
Using concentrates isn’t the most cost-effective way to consume concentrates, just like it isn’t with the glass bowl method. Some of the concentrates will be lost in the air, but you’ll still be able to get enough of it to reap the benefits of the high.
Concentrates tend to drip when you use them along the outside of the joint or blunt. If you put the concentrate on the inside of the joint or blunt, then you won’t have to worry as much about them dripping out. One thing to note is that the concentrates in or on the joint might cause it to burn disproportionately, so you may have to adjust the way you’re holding it every so often.
Helpful Information
Mixing the weed with the concentrate will get you nice and high, and the overall appearance of it looks nice.
Knife Dab Hits
Does smoking concentrate with a knife? For those new to the field of concentrates, this might be a first to you. Some people love using the knife hit method, and others feel like they are some sort of cannabis addict when they try it out. Ignoring those feelings, knife hits do tend to get you high, and you don’t require many materials to do this method successfully. The only things you need are two butter knives, something that will generate heat, and a plastic bottle with nothing in it. Using a torch or a stove usually works the best for knife hits.
This method basically involves heating both of the knives until they are red hot. Once they are hot, you just get some concentrate and put it on the knife and then push them against each other. The heat and friction will then vaporize whatever concentrate you used. Now, grab your plastic bottle that has a hole cut in the bottom of it. The bottle will act as a funnel for you to inhale the smoke generated from the process.
If you happen to have a friend nearby, ask them if they can assist you with this method. It’ll save you a lot of frustration.
Pros:
If you do the knife hit method properly, it’s the most similar thing that will resemble a dab on this entire list of methods.
Not many materials are required.
Cons:
If you’re caught using this method, people might think you’re a cannabis addict, or, even worse, a meth addict.
It’s sometimes difficult to get the hang of this method.
Helpful Information
The knife hit method is one of those things that’s helpful to see in person before trying it out. Finding a YouTube video will go a long way in increasing the chances that you’ll get the method working how it should. In many of the videos, you’ll see them using a torch to heat the knives up. For those that don’t have a torch handy, you can just heat up your stove on the highest setting, and then hold the knives on the stove.
Sometimes dripping the concentrates onto the knife can be tricky. If you have trouble with this part, try heating up a single knife at first, and then just take the dab off of the second knife. In many cases, you’ll be able to generate enough heat from just a single knife instead of having to use two.
Dab Vape Pen
For those that don’t like spending money on cannabis accessories, you might want to skip this method because it requires you to buy a vape pen. You can purchase these in many cannabis shops and also through many online retailers. Most will have a wide selection of various vape pens that will work with this method.
Pros:
Much cheaper than an entire dab rig.
Concealable, portable, and small enough to fit in your pocket.
A good way to conserve your concentrates.
Cons:
You’ll have to go out and purchase it if you don’t have one.
The vape pen can sometimes give off a flavor that some might not find appealing.
A vape pen doesn’t give off the biggest rips.
Helpful Information
For those that intend on using a vape pen regularly for dabs, then you’ll probably want to take a look at some reviews before going and purchasing the first one you see. Sometimes spending a little extra money on a better vape will go a long way in ensuring you have a more positive experience. But, if you just want a quick fix on rare occasions, then a cheap one will work for that purpose.
Ingesting Dabs
Even though eating dabs isn’t smoking them, it’s a useful way to get high from concentrates. While eating concentrates require a little bit of added preparation beforehand, it is a good method to experience dabs. The first step to eating dabs is you’ll have to decarboxylate the concentrates you’re using. All this means is that the concentrates will have to be heated up to the levels where the THCA in the concentrates will convert into THC.
For further information on the chemistry behind decarboxylation, watching a brief video will explain why and how the concentrates will need to be heated up. You’ll want to take it at a slow pace with eating dabs. Start low and go slow, meaning you’ll want to start off eating less than what you think would get you high.
Pros:
An easy method that can be done with a few kitchen utensils.
If your throat hurts from smoking, this method will prevent that.
Cons:
This method is more like an edible than it is like a dab.
Helpful Information
Some people don’t enjoy the taste of dabs, but there is a way around that, and that’s through using the decarboxylated oil in pill form. Ingesting the oil in pill form will prevent the oil or wax from messing up your pearly whites.
What About The Bad Ways To Smoke Concentrates?
There’s a couple of different ways of smoking concentrates that aren’t good enough to be added to this list.
Stove Method
While using the stove is perfect for the knife hit method, there are people out there that are actually dripping their concentrates right onto the stove element itself. The main reason why this method isn’t ideal is that the concentrates will just drip down the grease trap in the stove. This is a wasteful way to consume the concentrates, and you’re also having to move your face right near the super-hot stove.
Using A Car Lighter
For those that have a car lighter in their vehicle, some might imagine this would be an ideal method to consume concentrates with. While the thought of it is creative, there’s a high chance that the car lighter will be completely wrecked by the concentrates. Even though the coil inside of it will probably still vaporize it, the concentrate will leak down the side, and then you won’t be able to insert the car lighter back into it where it belongs without having the sticky concentrate get everywhere.
Tin Foil Method
While the tin foil method will let you consume concentrates, the downside of this method is that the foil will spew out more gas than a solid metal does. That isn’t a good thing for something that you’re breathing in. You’ll also feel like a cannabis addict if you use this method.
