A smooth, silky dab is very hard to beat, which makes dabbing the most popular method for consuming solventless concentrates.

It’s a straightforward process, but using the right tools is crucial for an optimal experience.

The Battle of Quartz: What's the Difference Between USA vs. China Made Quartz?
The best bangers are made with quartz, that’s no question. Consistently capable of withstanding the temperatures required for dabbing rosin, quartz is a smooth and non-porous surface that’s shock-absorbent, heat-resistant, durable, and easy to clean. It doesn’t oxidize or turn brittle over time. Quartz doesn’t retain heat as long as other materials like titanium, allowing the banger to reach optimal temperatures for dabbing quickly after heating.

What Is Terroir and Why Is it Important for Solventless Concentrates?
Terroir applies specifically to wine, but let’s think bigger.

As a Schedule 1 drug, cannabis was grouped with heroin as a drug with no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse. With the wave of scientific studies over the last two decades that have demonstrated the medicinal value of cannabis, this classification of cannabis as a Schedule 1 drug didn’t have legs to stand on.

Will Joe Biden Legalize Cannabis?
There's no doubt that public sentiment around cannabis has changed rapidly in the last several years. The US federal government’s favor of legality seemed like a pipe dream just a couple of decades ago, but now with the rising tide of cultural support, it seems inevitable. And it's likely not going to take long at this point - we've crossed the Rubicon and there's no turning back.
