Your Guide to the Best Dab Rigs South Africa 2021

With the global trend of countries legalizing and decriminalizing cannabis, it seems you can’t go a day without hearing about it. There are many spectacular benefits of cannabis, from medical miracles of managing epilepsy and seizures to the exciting recreational perks.

Similar in function to the more common dry-herb bongs, dab rigs are an effective way to try out some cannabis concentrates.

Dab Rigs Explained

Dab rigs are designed to vaporize cannabis extracts, which differs from burning, or combusting, dried plant matter. These rigs are similar in structure and appearance to your standard bong, with a few key differences. A bong has a bowl where dry herb is placed and a lighter is used to burn it and create smoke. A dab rig instead has a nail that consists of a heating plate that vaporizes the concentrate.

A solvent, such as CO2, is used to extract chemical compounds found in the plant. This process results in a sticky concentrated mixture of decarboxylated terpenes and cannabinoids. The final product goes by many names depending on the extraction method and resulting texture.

Our favorite dab concentrate is made from cheese weed. We highly recommend you try some with your new dab rig. Keep reading to discover some of our favourite dab rigs available in South Africa.
