If you’re an avid dabber, you probably already know that the world of smart dabs is just getting started. Although they’ve been around for a while now, they’re only becoming more popular as companies develop new types of smart dabs.
If you’re thinking of trying out a smart dab rig, it’s helpful to know the pros and cons.
What Makes a Smart Dab Rig?
In the ever-expanding world of technological advancements, smart devices like phones, watches, and cars are becoming increasingly common. The same thing is happening in the world of cannabis consumption. Smart dabs take on various forms and functions, making concentrates easier and simpler.
Choosing the best dab tools often requires smart decisions about nails used to deliver terpenes to your lungs instead of THC. In the case of smart dab rigs, these nails often have LED lights attached to them that can help set a mood.
Pros of a Smart Dab Rig
There are several benefits to using a smart rig. Smart rigs are more accurate than traditional rigs. This is due to the improved temperature control that a smart dab rig can offer users. Other advantages include:
1. Variability
A smart dab rig can be the perfect solution for anyone who wants control over the precise concentrates and temperature their dabs will be vaped. It provides various settings to control your experience with each use to choose different temperatures and doses. Multiple people can also use these devices at once without sacrificing quality.
2. Temperature Control
Temperature control is essential to the flavor of the vapor you inhale. When the nail is too hot, it can burn your oil. When the nail is too cool, it doesn’t provide enough heat. For these reasons, knowing what temperature you’re heating your nail is crucial.
Today’s smart dab rigs make this more accessible than ever. The best ones can tell you exactly what temperature you’re heating your nail to and allow you to set an exact target temperature for each session.
3. Convenient And Portable
Smart dab rigs are convenient because they’re easy to use compared to traditional ones. It’d help if you had a battery charger (and a charge) to take them wherever you go. The rig will heat up immediately once power is supplied using buttons or an app connected via Bluetooth technology. You don’t need any flame or torch, which can be inconvenient when smoking out in public places.
4. Better Flavor
The flavor of your concentrates is affected by the temperature you vape. Because smart rigs have a sensor that monitors and regulates the temperature, you’ll get much better flavor from your wax or oil. You’ll also have more control over the quality of your experience because some terpenes evaporate at different temperatures. So, if you want to emphasize one taste profile over another, you can calibrate your rig in such a way that it brings out a specific note in your concentration.
Cons of a Smart Dab Rig
There are several reasons it’s a bad idea to shell out your money for a smart dab rig. First and foremost, it’s not worth the price. Other downsides include:
1. Not User-Friendly
The problem is that the plethora of features make the device much more complex than a traditional dab rig. The user interface isn’t particularly intuitive, and it takes quite a bit of time to learn how to use all of the features properly. This can be inconvenient for some users, especially those who want a simple way to get high as efficiently.
2. You Can Burn Your Concentrate
The temperature control on the smart dab rig isn’t accurate enough to prevent you from burning your concentrate. It’s challenging to find a sweet spot with the smart dab rig, and it’s all too easy to get it wrong. If you get the temperature wrong, you have a burnt taste in your mouth, which isn’t ideal. The smart dab rig also heats up too quickly or slowly for most users. Depending on how you use it, if the temperature is off by just a degree or two, it can ruin your experience.
3. Doesn’t Offer a Great Amount of Customization
While the technology for smart dab rigs is still pretty new, it’s clear that they won’t be very customizable in the near or even distant future. With a standard dab rig, you can customize temperature, power, and other variables. A smart dab rig only offers three heat settings, which means you don’t get many options to choose from. The device’s limitations are apparent when compared to a standard dab rig.
Conclusion
Cannabis consumption is growing smarter by the day. The smart dab rig is a great item for anyone who wants to dab but doesn’t know how to do it. Although it’s more expensive than regular rigs, it’s simple to use and suitable for beginners. This item is also very portable. However, the downsides might not make it too much fun.
