We've covered some of the basis of what's a_nectar collector_on our last 2 blogs, we talked about_advantages_of using a_nectar collector_and the difference_between a_dab rig_and a nectar collector, on today's Dabbing 101 Series we'll dive a bit deeper, explaining_how to use a nectar collector, as usual, we'll break down the essentials and try to include_as many details as we can._
How To Use A Nectar Collector In 5 Steps:
1. Place Your Concentrates In The Quartz Dish._
You can_choose any cannabis concentrate_to dab with a nectar collector or_dab straw! Wax, shatter, budder, rosin or oil, you name it. But never put too much on the quartz dish, you would want to put enough for one_dab_at a time, trying to get the cannabis concentrates out of the quartz dish and back to your concentrate jar can be a pain in the ass.
For me personally,_I prefer dabbing oil other than wax or rosin. A few drops of oil on the quartz dish_creates a very thin layer of concentrates_for me to move the quartz tip or titanium tip around the dish, sucking up everything that's in it and won't waste a drop of my delicious concentrate.
Some dabbers prefer to dab straight from the jar that comes with the cannabis concentrates when they purchased it. Most of the time it's ok but be aware of the material that the jar is made from, you don't want to dab straight_from a plastic jar,_the high temperature of the nectar collector tip could easily melt the plastic and generating some nasty fume that's very harmful to your throat and lungs. If the jars are made from food-grade silicone, it'll be ok to dab with them since they are very tolerant of heat.
2. Fill The Body With Water For Filtration.
Just like any dab rig or water pipe(bongs), the nectar collectors will_need water_to_for filtration and cooling_down the temperature of the vapor._
Bury in mind that not all the nectar collector sets are designed to have_filtration features, like the_14mm silicone nectar collector, for example, the body of the set features a_straw-like tube_that will not provide any filtration, it's the best when you're doing low-temperature dabs.
For the 10mm mini nectar collector kit, it features a_mini recycler_filtration system_which you can add a fair amount of water in it for doing_high-temperature dabs, we recommend filling the tube up to 1/4 of the total length of the body. Since the design is_unspillable_you don't need to worry about_water getting into your mouth_when you are using the set.
3. Connect The Quartz Tip/Titanium Tip And The Mouthpiece To The Body.
Choose your_favorite type of tip for use! The 10mm mini nectar collector kit comes with_two heating tips, the quartz one and the titanium one, as the name implies, the joint size of these tips are both 10mm male tips._
Comparing to the titanium tip, the_quartz does provide a "purer" taste_when it comes to_dabbing, but the downside is the quartz tip takes longer to heat than the titanium tip, but not by much. So using a titanium tip or quartz tip to dab is entirely up to your personal choice.
Just like the water filtration we talked about above, not all the nectar collectors come with a_detachable mouthpiece, like the 14mm silicone nectar collector, the mouthpiece is built into the overall design.
After putting the tip and mouthpiece together with the body, you'll need to_secure them with a set of clips. This step is_crucial_when it comes to_safety, remember, the temperature of your quartz/titanium tip can reach_as high as 700°F_when heating with a butane torch, if the tip is not secured and it drops on your lap or your hand, you're going to have a very bad day._
These clips are_specially designed_to withstand a large amount of heat so don't worry about clips melting in front of you._
4. Use A Butane Torch Or Enail Coil To Heat The Tip.
On this step, you'll need to get the tip of your nectar collector heated up to your_desired temperature_for dabs.
The most common way of heating the tip is using a butane torch, just like when you're using the butane torch to_heat the quartz banger on a dab rig, try to move the flame of the torch all around the quartz/titanium tip.
Pointing the flame directly on one single spot will heat the tip to a hazardous level, you could_burn your cannabis concentrate_very quickly, not to mention the high temperature could also_create little cracks in your glass_nectar collector, making it fragile and dangerous to use(might explode).
How do I know when the nectar collector is hot enough for dabs?
Just like when you're using a dab rig for dabs, curled your palm a little bit, putting it a fist away from the tip/nail, if you can feel the heat radiating from the nail/tip, your nectar collector is_ready for dabs!_
Don't heat your quartz/titanium nail red hot! You don't need that much heat to vaporize the cannabis concentrates, a red-hot tip could burn your wax, rosin, shatter, oil at a blink of an eye, making them_horrible to taste.
5. Put The Tip Against The Concentrates Then Inhale.
Once you finished_heating the nail/tip, place it gently on the quartz dish or other_heat tolerant container_containing your cannabis concentrates, use your mouth to inhale through the mouthpiece.
The heat of the tip will vaporize the concentrates immediately, as the vapor travels through the nectar collector, the water in_it will cool down the temperature of the vapor_providing the best dabbing experience!
Here's a video of_an first_time user of a nectar collector kit:_
_
If you can't feel or see the vapor generating, it means_the tip is not hot enough, you'll need to put the nectar collector_aside and let it cool off for a while, then you need to_use a tissue to clean the tip_and try heating it again.
Remember, never heat the tip when it's cover with concentrates, the_concentrates will burn_and char on your tip which will make the tip almost impossible to clean.__
In Conclusion
There are a lot of different_types of nectar collectors on the market for sale right now and their cosmetic appearances might differ but the overall instruction of how to use one is mostly the same. It's not rocket science, once you get the hang of it you can practically use any nectar collector at ease.
