How Do You Smoke Wax?

I've smoked for years, but I'm new to wax and wondered how best to smoke it. A friend gave me 1/4 gram the other day, but I wasnt sure how to get the most out of it. I had been putting it in the weed and smoked it but it didnt do much more than adding Kief or resin.

What's the big deal with wax anyhow? Seems like an awful lot of work to get a very little gain from. I dont really see the point in it, might as well just smoke the flowers. At least that way, you can still color out all of that glass. You just dont get that with wax.

Dabs. Titantum nail, torch, glass bubbler... search youtube for dabs

wax or bho...its all the same

your removing all plant matter and just collecting just the trichs....from a 1/4 ounce of weed you get 1 gram of wax or bho

One hit on a nail ( hit size of a 1/2 grain of rice) in a bong is like takin 5-6 bong hits...don't be surprised if the hit takes your breath away...then ur high as f**k

If such a small hit works so well then why isn't it working when smoked with bud?

just smoke flowers instead theyre way better than this trash this shit is so harsh on your lungs to nothing beats good cured flowers

Best way is to heat something up and draw your hit off of it.
A hot titanium nail, a quartz domeless setup, etc.
Similar to a flower bong but the nail is setup for wax.

Portable and mobile rigs can include vape pens setup for wax.
I have a bubbler that can handle a vape pen. Good times

Correction, nothing beats well made hash lol. But I agree with the wax being shit unless it is co2 or was purged multiple times(usually doesn't happen)

Overall, I prefer flowers to wax.
It's like wine and whiskey.

E-nails and oil rigs. Oil kicks flowers ass. Wanna really taste your bud, turn it into shatter and take a low temp dab. I smoke flowers like once a month. The high is so sluggish and very unclean compared to oil.

Weed has been around and smoked for 6-10.000 years, and as a result, we know that it is safe. Wax however, has been around about 15 years, and though the consensus is that it is safe, we really do not know.

Another thing to consider. Frequently burnout happens within about 10 years, and that's on street grade weak mexican bullshit, not the world class meds we have now. I would make an educated guess that wax is going to accelerate the burnout effect much faster than flowers.

And let's face it folks, wax is the crack of weed, it is a drug. Looks like one acts like one, manufactures like one, addicts like one, the list goes on and on.

I never get a feeling like "I shouldn't be doing this" with flowers, but I do with wax. It's the same feeling that you get right before you do something you shouldn't. IMO it's the voice of God helping out..

Why even post this thread if you have such strong negative opinions on concentrates. The idea that THC becomes more of a drug or more addicting when you remove the plant material is just idiotic. Thats all that wax, shatter, oil, dabs, qwiso, bubble hash are. They are lovely delicious resin from the cannabis plant that has been cleaned of plant material that doesn't get you high in the first place. This means that people are consuming much smaller amounts of smoke and carcinogens while dabbing rather then smoking flower. Also hash oil has been around since the 70s atleast, its just gotten more popular in the last 5-10 years because the quality is higher, and more availability to material to use for it.

You said you've been adding some to bowls, and it seems just like adding kief or resin to a bowl. Well thats because it is basically the same as kief just a little cleaner( or should be) I assume this means you got a little more high off the bowl then if it was just flower. Guess what thats what is supposed to happen . Also it will be impossible for you to tell the difference in the high if your smoking it with flower. You really have to smoke it alone, and if possible no flower before or after so you really feel it. I have to explain the same thing to heavy smokers about edibles. If you smoke a bunch all day, you might not feel the edible much(depending on dose). but give that same edible to a less frequent smoker and it might rock their world.

I do want to add that I have no plans to stop smoking flower, I love this plant in all its forms. However for my everyday life, its much easier to step into my kitchen and spend literally 1.5 minutes heating up and enjoying a dab or 2 with my coffee. I am then set for the day. Before I dabbed I would usually smoke a bowl or bong in the morning with my coffee, and that takes 10-15 minutes depending on how fast I'm smoking vs drinking coffee. A hot nail is my favorite way to dab. 2dabs + 2 minutes = nicec clean high for hours

I use 193 proof vodka to make my dabs.....Did you know that you can bring the temps while evaporating to a constant 275 (I use a Nuwave)....
which decarbs the oil activates the THC

Then take the oil put it in a capsule try 1/4 to 1/2 g per down the hatch...thank you Rick Simpson Saves your lungs!!! ...........

Rick Simpson Oil ACTUALLY SAVES LIVES!!!! Indica strains are recomended

worth every penny....you do have to set a cooking pot on the nuwave with the pyrex dish in the cooking pot.

Just glass on the Nuwave wont activate the heating elements...I bought mine just for Dabs

Smoking bud, from what I understand, will not get the wax hot enough to get you the full hit, melts a lot of the wax. I started smoking wax a few months before I got my first rig, I'd just put it on bowls. Then one day I tried a dab and the next day I spent 200$ on a rig.

so not getting it hot enough is why everyone heats their nails up on their rigs with a blowtorch. Using a regular lighter doesn't get the nail hot enough. putting it on bowls does work a bit though. If you're the type to scrape your pipe and smoke the resin (which you'll never do again after a week or two of dabs) then keep in mind, a lot of the wax that melted through your weed and down the pipe hole is still there, mixed in your resin

One time I saw this guy put some wax on a piece of foil, roll up a dollar bill, put it in his mouth, put a bic lighter under the foil and somehow did a dab that way. Fuck that guy, don't be that guy. I hear around my parts at least you can get a rig for about 50 bucks, and cheap torches are usually around 20

I purchased a vape pen for shatter for around $50 bucks and it works great! It even comes with a USB charger!
The only drawback in smoking oil for me is that a huge hit explodes your lungs like nothing else! But once I get up off the floor it seems a fair trade off! Lol!

Whoa!!!! Chasing the dragon with dabs? Totally agree! Don't be that guy! lol

Some people will go old school like eating bark off of a tree. Some people will take an aspirin pill. I think it depends on how much you enjoy changing rituals. I like using the volcano vaporizer with the bag. I don't do that very often, because I cannot justify the cannabis expense or the financial expense. The vapes use quite a bit more medicine, than a pipe, joint or bong. I medicate mostly with flowers, but I have been hitting the 'trates more regular since I learned to make my own. I use a glass on glass bong with a 18mm domeless nail. I got a torch head at homedepot. I use the Mapp gas to heat the nail until it is turning red and then I let it cool a while, get a tiny glob of wax on my dab wand and press it to the skillet. Some of it leaves an ash residue and some of it just burns away. It depends on what micron bag you get it from. There are definitely different flavors you get from different strains and they are dependent on how the cannabis is treated from seed to exhale. Enjoy.

There are several ways to smoke wax and they all have their pros and cons. And dabbing makes it possible to consume very high amounts of THC, higher than just smoking herb. There might be some effect, but we will probably know for sure in 10-20 years. In the meanwhile, I don't mind being a guinea pig and dabbing.
