What is a Rig?
A dab rig, also referred to as a concentrate rig or oil rig, is a specialized type of water pipe that is specifically designed for dabbing concentrated tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Unlike traditional smoking accessories like glass pipes and water pipes, dab rigs are equipped with a specialized nail made from materials such as quartz, titanium, or ceramic. (1) The nail is heated using a butane torch until it reaches the desired temperature, and then the dab is placed onto the nail and vaporized. The resulting vapor is then inhaled through the mouthpiece of the rig.
Dab Rig Artisans
The art of glass blowing has had a significant impact on the development of dab rigs. Glass blowers have created intricate and unique designs, often incorporating vibrant colors and patterns into their creations. These pieces are not only functional but also serve as beautiful works of art.
How Does THC Affect the Body?
The endocannabinoid system is a complex network of receptors, enzymes, and molecules that help regulate many bodily functions, including mood, appetite, sleep, and pain. Dabbing is an incredibly effective way of getting the euphoric feeling you want from your cannabis product as quickly as possible. As soon as you inhale, the THC in the dab acts on cannabinoid receptors in the endocannabinoid system. It then activates neurons in the body’s reward system, which release a flood of dopamine. (2)
