That’s because they come with hardly any carcinogens and tar when compared to smoking.</p><p>Unfortunately, there are no perfect ways of smoking shatter. In terms of vaping, one of the downsides is the lack of a durable battery in many of the units. Furthermore, cheaper models also come with a mediocre heating element. This may result in a weak vaping experience. Lesser effects, bland flavor – you should be prepared for these inconveniences when trying to vape on a limited budget.</p><h3>Smoking Shatter in a Vape Pen is Easy</h3><ol><li>Get yourself a concentrates vape pen.</li><li>Open the chamber and put a small piece of shatter on the coil.</li><li>Press the button while the chamber is still open so the shatter melts a bit, but is not burning.</li><li>Close the chamber and put the lid back on the vape.</li><li>Hold the button on your vape and slowly inhale for a few seconds (as long as you want).</li></ol><h3 style=”text-align: left;”>How to Smoke Shatter Using a Rig</h3><h3 style=”text-align: center;”><img class=”alignnone wp-image-14799 size-full” src=”https://cannabismo.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/2-6.png” alt=”dabbing” width=”628″ height=”379″ /></h3><p><em>Source: </em><span style=”color: #50b848;” data-darkreader-inline-color=””><strong><a style=”color: #50b848;” href=”http://www.leafly.com/” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener noreferrer” data-darkreader-inline-color=””><em>Leafly</em></a></strong></span></p><p>Oh boy, another complicated term in this article! How to smoke shatter using a rig?</p><p>Wait a second… What on earth is a damn rig?</p><p>Simply put, it’s a more sophisticated and niche term for a glass pipe that resembles the shape of a bong. The oil rig contains a vertical chamber and a mouthpiece with a hole included. It is the hole where you stick a small nail. The nail is usually made of metal or glass. Some older hippies may associate it with a fancier and less harsh substitute of a ‘knife hit.’ <yoastmark class=”yoast-text-mark”>Dabbing shatter is the best way to control the flavour and taste of the concentrate, as you can play with temperatures and clean the bowl each time for a nice clean flavour profile.</yoastmark></p><h3>Dabbing Shatter</h3><p>How to do a dab in a few steps:</p><ol><li>Break off a very tiny piece, the size of a small bead, and put it on your dabbing tool.</li><li>Heat up the nail or glass banger with your torch until slightly red hot. (Or turn on your e-nail)</li><li>Once heated, let the nail cool for a short amount of time and slide the dome over.</li><li>Touch your dabbing tool to the heated nail or banger so the concentrate melts off the tool.</li><li>Cover your dome or banger with the topper for better circulation while you inhale the vapour.</li></ol><h4><strong>Here is a more detailed explanation:</strong></h4><p>The nail will reach a red hue, which happens by heating it with a butane torch. You can also use an electronic heating feature when speaking of e-nails. <yoastmark class=”yoast-text-mark”>But either way, once it’s a red hue, take a metal dabber (usually made of quartz or titanium), lift a small piece of your shatter, and then transfer it onto the nail.</yoastmark> This will result in immediate combustion of the oil. You’ll see a thick smoke cloud which you can puff through the rig.</p><p>The ideal temperature of the surface should vary between 550 and 750 degrees Fahrenheit. It’s quite hot, isn’t it? Exactly – this is why you need a dabber.</p><p>Most of the time, there will be extra oil on your nail after you dab the concentrate. How to smoke shatter without wasting a single bit of this precious material? Well, you can either blast the nail again or simply wait until the clog begins to form. If the latter happens, immerse your rig in alcohol and bring the substance to a boil. Wait until all of the alcohol evaporates, scrape up the remaining shatter and repeat dabbing.</p><p>Simple? Yes. Efficient? You bet! Cheap? Well, that depends on the model. A proper dab rig can cost up to even $50,000. Worry not, as this is the extreme case for the most savor ‘cannasseurs’. Usually, you can get a decent dab rig for as little as $50.</p><h2>Keep Things in Moderation</h2><p>Since shatter is the most potent marijuana concentrate of all, I’d suggest you approach it with a baby steps attitude. When you take a first dab, don’t enter a rampage. Refrain from taking a second dab for the next 10 or 15 minutes. Some dabbing rookies take dabs as if they were bench pressing in a gym to increase their endurance. You know, lots of reps in short intervals. Don’t be one of those guys. When being introduced to something new, take it slowly.</p><h2>Shatter FAQ</h2><p>Now that we have shown you how to smoke shatter, you may have some additional questions. Here are some common questions asked about this cannabis concentrate.</p><h3>What is the Difference Between Wax and Shatter?</h3><p><span class=”ILfuVd NA6bn”><span class=”e24Kjd”>Compared to wax, shatter lasts longer as it’s more stable. Wax will degrade faster as it is less stable. <yoastmark class=”yoast-text-mark”>As far as handling each substance, shatter may be more difficult to measure or use because of how glass-like it is.</yoastmark> Whereas wax is much easier to manipulate due to its soft and oily consistency. The extraction process is mostly the same, but different consistencies are created using a mix of hot/cold temperatures.

Depending on your preferences, either shatter or wax may be your favourite. Shatter is harder and glass-like compared to wax, which is soft and malleable. <yoastmark class=”yoast-text-mark”>Since the extraction process is quite similar, it may be better than wax in that the final product is more visually appealing.</yoastmark> Wax is thick and opaque due to concentration at a different temperature and humidity. They can both test up to 90% THC.<b><br /></b></span></span></p><h2>How Much is a Gram of Shatter?</h2><div class=”d9FyLd”><strong>$35-$45 a </strong><b>gram on our website.<br /></b></div><p><span class=”ILfuVd NA6bn”><span class=”e24Kjd”> The price of a gram of shatter depends on the quality of the buds used for extraction. Nug run is usually more expensive than trim run shatter. The average for trim run is $35-$40 whereas nug run can be up to $50 per gram. These prices all depend on the producer’s supply of cannabis, as it’s the foundation for the product. There may also be a difference between whether it’s extracted with CO2 or Butane, CO2 being more expensive.<br /></span></span></p><p style=”text-align: center;”>

</p><h3>Does Shatter Contain CBD?</h3><p><span class=”ILfuVd NA6bn”><span class=”e24Kjd”>Shatter does contain CBD, but if you are seeking the effects of only CBD, it is not recommended to use THC shatter. Instead, CBD concentrates are available in the form of wax or crystals, a very pure form of CBD. CBD dabs are extracted from hemp, which is non-psychoactive and will not get you high like THC.</span></span></p><h3>How Safe is Shatter?</h3><p><span class=”ILfuVd NA6bn”><span class=”e24Kjd”>Since it is mostly vaped or consumed in a dab rig, often at lower temperatures, it’s not as damaging to your lungs as smoking flower (as far as we know!), so it is quite safe comparatively. Also, due to its purity, shatter contains very little organic material, so this is not incinerated and inhaled as with smoking. Shatter is made using butane, but this is completely evaporated off in the post-extraction process, leaving a very pure form of cannabis product.</span></span></p><h3>Does Vaping Shatter Smell?</h3><p><span class=”ILfuVd NA6bn”><span class=”e24Kjd”>Cannabis has a very strong and familiar smell, but shatter is slightly different. The smell depends mainly on the <strong><span style=”color: #50b848; –darkreader-inline-color: #74e56c;” data-darkreader-inline-color=””><a style=”color: #50b848;” href=”https://cannabismo.org/cannabis-compounds-what-are-terpenes/” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener noreferrer” data-darkreader-inline-color=””>terpenes</a></span></strong> present in it. Shatter will leave a stronger scent with higher terpene content, such as Limonene or Myrcene, which give cannabis it’s potent smell. Don’t expect to vape away in your rental without leaving a scent, but it will be much less so than with smoking fresh flowers. Also, unlike cigarettes, the smell of cannabis lingering fades over time.</span></span></p><p>To cut a long story short, even if you know how to smoke shatter in terms of using the right tools, do it responsibly. While you can’t possibly overdo cannabis, taking too much can be far from pleasant.
