I got a medical card here in LA and the prices are outrageous. Getting a dablicator with full spectrum oil seems to be the most cost effective. Trouble is I can’t seem to figure out how to use it.
At first I just ate it but I think I wasted $90 because I felt nothing and I don’t think it was decarbed.
Next I got some refillable 510 thread vapes and a small syringe to fill it. That has been a pain but it at least works a bit.
How am I supposed to use this stuff? Is it all the same or are there different kinds? Is it decarbed at all or not meant for vaping?
It’s a complicated answer. In the most basic terms a dab rig is just something that lets you vape or smoke concentrate quickly and easily. Some dry herb vapes get hot enough to put the concentrate directly into or on a pad of some kind to hold it while you vape it, and there’s also quartz bangers and stuff if combustion is your style, and stand alone devices strictly for concentrates. There are options for dabbing via a 510 vape but usually the concentrate is so thick that it’s a pain to do that way unless you’re thinning it out or buying preloaded vape cartridges made for a 510 battery.
In your case the easiest way might be squirting some of the concentrate into a joint or something but it’s hard to say without knowing what kind of hardware you have at your disposal. There are also some companies that sell addon pieces that fit a 510 battery that make dab hits easier. I’ll link one but don’t consider it a product endorsement as I don’t actually use them, it’s just to give you an idea of what you might find locally or online. There are several options available where I live for under $50, some under $30.

If you already have a compatible battery you may only need the atomizer part, like this.
Atomizer
I have an Ooze Pen And refillable vape cart
I have been just squirting some of the oil in there and trying to vape it, with mixed success
I also have a Zeus dry herb vape which I love, but on the legal market herb is so expensive. $75 for 3.5 g :(
Sounds like I just need to buy a battery powered dab rig or an “atomizer” for my dinky little battery.
Edit: My (nicotine) vape shop said they had a 510 compatible atomizer in stock so ill go see what that is and see if it works better!
Any luck?
It is a nicer reusable vape cartridge for sure but not really different. If I turn the battery to max, pre heat it, and inhale slowly it works.
I also bought an explicit atomizer that should be here next week.
I think I just have no idea what I am doing, lol
Does the new one have coils in it to put the concentrate on?
Yep I think so, it was billed as a wax atomizer for a 510 battery. I figured that would work but who knows
It could be that your battery is lacking power or maybe the stuff you got doesn’t vape well and would be better suited for combustion.
I’m a firm believer in ball vapes for just about everything but that doesn’t help you.
Honestly I’m thinking of going back to strictly edibles. I love the head high but my lungs hurt.
Dry herb vaping is one of the passions in my life but that’s also because I grow my own. It may not be the best in the world but it’s definitely easy on the lungs.
Vaping may not be for you but concentrate through vape pens was always one of the hardest on my lungs. I don’t really like 510 vapes for anything but stealth and rapid hits, but today’s top end dry herb portables only take a few seconds to heat up. It’s been at least a couple years since I’ve had a cart vape. Anyways, I’m heavily biased…
Edibles can be heady, you just need the right strain and the right method of intake. Sublingual troches aren’t that hard to make at home and they offer rapid highs like vaping that can be very heady or very heavy body highs. Weed has a huge rage if you take the time to experiment and find out what strains and what terpenes take care of whatever it is you’re using it for. Unfortunately it can also get expensive, and negative experiences tend to stick with people so they don’t experiment much.
