Nectar collectors, also known as honey straws or dab straws, are a simple and effective way to dab waxy cannabis concentrates.
They offer a unique approach to dabbing and are ideal for fast, efficient, and flavorful consumption.
What You'll Need
Before you start, make sure you have these items ready:
Nectar collector body
Nail
Water (optional, for nectar collectors with a water chamber)
Butane torch
Dab tool, parchment paper, wax paper, a silicone jar, or a glass jar
Concentrates
Steps for Dabbing with a Nectar Collector
Here's a step-by-step guide on how to dab using a nectar collector:
Assemble the Device: Gather the components: the body, the tip, and the mouthpiece. Ensure they are clean and dry. Connect the tip firmly to the main chamber.
Fill the Chamber with Water (Optional): If your nectar collector has a water chamber, fill it with the correct level of water. The bubbler helps with filtering your vapor for cooler more pleasant rips.
Place Your Dabs: Pick out your favorite concentrate and place your dab on a clean, heat-resistant surface, like a dab mat. Silicone and glass containers are popular choices.
Heat the Tip: Start your butane torch and heat the tip of your nectar collector until it turns red hot. Roll the piece back and forth to heat the titanium evenly, which should take approximately 30 - 60 seconds. Heating times vary depending on the strength of your torch and the quality of your tip.
Let the Tip Cool Down: Allow the tip to cool a little. For low-temp dabs, Global-Hookah wait 15-30 seconds, depending on the tip material. A good range is around 350-400 degrees Fahrenheit (175-205 degrees Celsius) for optimal dabbing. You can check the temperature with an infrared thermometer.
Dip the Tip into Your Concentrate: Bring the hot tip of the nectar collector into contact with the dab. Touch the concentrates on the side of the heating tip instead of placing the tip directly on top of the dab.
Inhale and Enjoy: Inhale the vapor from the mouthpiece, taking steady, controlled breaths to savor the vapor and control the intensity of your hit. Keep your nectar collector at a 45-degree angle when you dip into your concentrate for better vapor flow.
Tips for Using a Nectar Collector
Here are some helpful tips to enhance your dabbing experience:
Start Small: Nectar collectors are very efficient, so don't use too much waxy dabs.
Go Slow: If you see a lot of vapor escaping, press more lightly or pull harder.
Lower Temp: Lower temperatures can enhance terpene profiles, preserving flavors. Experiment with different heating times to find the temperature sweet spot for your preferred concentrates
