Hash – or hashish – is a cannabis concentrate from the Middle East derived from the trichomes of the cannabis plant.

Trichomes in a cannabis plant are isolated and extracted through a solvent. There are various different types of hash.

A dab rig is a specialized water pipe that specializes in cannabis concentrates like hash, wax, rosin, and extracts.

An e-rig – or electric dab rig – is an electric-powered dab rig, often batteries, with precise heating and portability.

A dab pen – or wax, extract, concentrate pen – is a small, portable, and discreet vaporizer of cannabis concentrates.

Taking a proper dab hit requires a rig or device to heat concentrates. The vapor produced from heating is then inhaled.

Other than choosing an electric device, selecting the best dabbing device may vary by preference and use-case scenarios.

Ultimately, the best type of concentrate is a personal preference but each provides a different taste, effect, and more.

Terpenes are organic compounds found in the cannabis plant that work with cannabinoids to provide flavor and aroma.

Generally dabbing is more discreet than flower or dry herb. Smaller devices can produce less odor, smoke, and noise.
