How To Use Cannabis Wax Without A Rig

Candles can help you get to sleep. Moon phases can remind you of the passing of time. Cannabis concentrates can be broken down into many different types.

Wax is a powerful drug that is best for experienced smokers and vapers. If you’re familiar with it, you’re well-equipped to use it.

If you’re not familiar with the art of dabbing concentrates, we suggest starting with making your own rigs. It’s not too difficult to set up, but to get the most out of this delicious way of consuming cannabis, it’s important to have some experience.

Do you want to know the best way to smoke wax? How do you smoke sugar wax? Is it possible to learn how to dab without a rig? Let us show you the latest and greatest techniques for dabbing it without a rig.

DAB WITHOUT A RIG: The Bowl Method

Using a bong, bubbler or pipe is the best way to smoke wax dabs, as it’s easy and convenient. You can use any smoking implement you have, and it will heat up and vaporize smoothly.

Using a wax dab is the key to ensuring an even heat distribution and consistent burning time when smoking a whole bud. By wrapping it around the middle of the nug, you’ll ensure an even burn and avoid any hot spots.

HOW TO DO DABS: A Joint Is All You Need

Smoking sugar wax blunts is a great way to enjoy high-potency weed without having to use a more complicated smoking method. Rolling a joint with sugar wax is a classic way to smoke weed, and it’s a great way to add a bit of extra potency to your smoke.

You can easily roll your own expert wax blunts using the same joint-rolling system you’re familiar with. Just lay out your papers and sprinkle your choice of buds in an even line. The only difference is before you roll it up, pour or scrape a line of wax into the middle of the cannabis flowers along the entire length of the joint. Just like with the bowl method, try to cover it with buds so there’s no direct flame-wax contact. This will help maintain its integrity.

HOMEMADE RIGS: Vape It Up

If you’re not ready to get serious about using cannabis vaporizing, maybe using vape cartridges is a good intermediate step? Some vape cartridges can be opened and refilled, which means you can make your own homemade vaporizer rig without having to break open or jimmy-rig a cartridge that’s meant to be used just once. The heating coils on these types of vaporizers can sometimes lose their integrity and could potentially cause you or your vaporizer to malfunction.

If you have a vaporizer that allows refills, use a metal utensil to place some wax onto the heating coil. Reseal the cartridge and heat up your vape, allowing it to heat up a bit longer than you would for vaping raw cannabis buds. A slow drag on your mouthpiece usually helps to slowly raise the temperature and get the most out of your sugar wax.

THE BEST WAY TO SMOKE WAX: Glass/Stone

Would you like to enjoy smoking wax without all the mess and fuss? Then consider using a traditional healthstone or volcanic glass rig. These devices allow you to smoke wax without having to use a funnel or mouthpiece. All you need is a long match or heat source and you can enjoy a delicious, clean hit of wax smoke.

A traditional dab rig is important for getting consistent doses of cannabinoids, and this method is one of the oldest. It prevents the flame from burning too much wax, and results in a consistent smoking experience.

HOMEMADE DAB RIG: Bong, James Bong

If you’re looking for an elegant and persuasive way to enjoy cannabis, the bong method is the perfect option. Not only is it fun to smoke out of colorful glass sculptures, but water vapor delivers a clean, straight-to-the-head inhale.

Some bongs are too “artsy” and don’t provide enough practical use. Any bong over a couple feet long may be too long a delivery tube for the potent wax smoke to fully reach your mouthpiece. This is one of the reasons why homemade dab rigs typically use short chambers/tubes – to minimize the distance the smoke has to travel to get to your lungs.

Bongs are the perfect way to get the most out of your smoking experience. With a good-sized bong, you can control the heat perfectly and get the most out of your smoke. If you’re using a lighter or match, you’re missing out on all of the flavorful smoke that a good bong can produce.

HOW TO SMOKE SUGAR WAX: Knives! Get Your Hot Knives!

We can agree that using a homemade wax rig isn’t the best way to smoke wax, but many people on a budget have found success with it. You’ll need some good oven mitts and some reliable silverware to make this work, though.

Using the hot knife method is the best way to get great wax results, since you only have limited supplies available. Just heat up a knife with the sharp end and make direct contact with the heat source until it begins to glow. Then, use oven mitts to hold the knife handle and inhale the curls of smoke.

Of course, this is not the most ideal way to do dabs, but if you’re traveling or unable to access your personal cannabis accessories, a hot knife can still work.

DABBING WITHOUT A DAB RIG: Dabedibles?!

We’ve come up with a new term called “dabedibles” to describe these wax-infused edible creations. You can bake or cook your own edibles with wax in them, or simply add some sugar wax like a candy-cane or cookie-crumble garnish. They’re perfect for adding a little bit of sweetness to your dishes, and they’ll really add an elegant touch to your culinary creations.

This is a different way to smoke it, and it’s not technically a rig. You can use it to dab without a device, just by eating the wax. The only thing you need is your stomach. If you use recipes that call for concentrates, the high temperature will unlock the terpenes and cannabinoids in the wax.

How do you enjoy dabbing?

We think it’s better to avoid using aluminum foil or lighter chemicals to smoke it because they can be dangerous, and they can also damage your respiratory system. We recommend using safer methods instead.
