Dab Nail FAQ
How do I season my Titanium Nail?
- Before you start dabbing with your new titanium nail, it's very important to season it so you can burn off any residual substance that is on the nail. First, you need to scoop some shatter or wax with the tip of your carb cap or dab tool.
- Next, heat your nail for 45-60 seconds. That way you 100% know the residue has been burned off.
- Let the titanium nail cool down for about 25-35 seconds. Get your prepared amount of shatter or wax. Then take your dab tool with wax and gently move and twist it around the dish of the nail. Repeat this activity two more times and your titanium nail is seasoned and ready to go.
- If you don't want to use shatter or wax to season your nail, you can heat your nail with a torch for 45 seconds. Then use tongs to remove the nail and place it in a bowl of water. Repeat this step several times and your nail should be ready to go.
How to use a Titanium Nail?
- First, you need to scoop out some shatter or wax with the tip of your carb cap or a dab tool. For this type of domeless nail, we suggest using a carb cap.
- To take a low temp dab hit, you need to heat your nail for 10-15 seconds. For high-temperature dab hits, you'll need to heat your nail for around 20 seconds or until the nail begins to have a red glow.
- Then let the nail cool for 15-20 seconds. Some of the advanced dabbers prefer to have a timer with them so that they can figure out the best time to let it cool and get the cleanest possible hit.
- Start to gently touch the dab of wax to the titanium dish and while doing that, inhale slowly and smoothly.
- When there is no more wax on the tip of your carb cap, put the cap on top of your domeless nail and keep inhaling until the chamber is clear.
- After you've cleared the chamber, you can exhale. You can continue to dab until you've had enough.
How to clean a Titanium Nail?
- After you've finished your dab session, if there is any residual shatter or wax on the nail, burn it off using the torch to prevent any sticky build up. The more buildup you have, the less of a fresh taste you'll get on the next dab it. It's very important to clean your nail after you've finished dabbing for the day because one of the biggest issues with titanium nails is that it oxidizes over time. The layer eventually gets thick and it'll affect the productivity of the nail.
- While the nail is still hot after you've finished your dab hit, you can use a Q-TIP to clean out the residual wax or shatter.
- Another thing people do to clean their titanium nail is to pour 91% isopropyl in a bowl and make sure the nail is submerged in alcohol. After several minutes, you may take out the nail and let it air dry.
Ceramic, Quartz, Titanium Nails
- Titanium Nails retain heat better than Quartz and Ceramic nails. It's also indestructible and easy to take with you on the go. Some people complain about the taste of a dab hit when using a Titanium nail, but if you season it properly, the taste should be clean and fresh. Also, keeping it clean is important if you want to maintain a delicious fresh taste. One of the negatives is that the nail will oxidize over time, which affects the productivity of the nail.
- Quartz Nails are generally cheaper and have a very clean taste. It takes longer to heat a quartz nail and it doesn't retain the heat for as long. If you want to use a quartz nail that heats up faster than the others, we suggest using a birdhouse quartz nail. If you're interested in using a carb cap with your domeless dab nail, then we suggest using a regular male or female dab nail.
- Ceramic Nails provide a very clean tasting hit.It retains heat for a much longer time than quartz. It also retains heat for longer than titanium nails. BE CAREFUL touching it after use because although it may seem like it isn't hot anymore, it can definitely burn you. One of the negatives about ceramic nails is that it's known to crack and shatter if heated improperly. You want to apply the heat in a circular motion to keep it even. As long as you're heating it evenly, slowly, and never until it gets glowing red, the nail will work just the way you want it to.
How to choose the right dab nail
- There is no RIGHT domeless dab nail. It's all about preference. The best way to decide which nail you want to buy, you need to ask yourself the following questions:
- What size dab rig do I have? The size of your rig is the first question you should ask yourself so you know which size nail to get. If you have multiple rigs with different sizes, then it'll be important for you to get an interchangeable nail so it can fit both of your dab rigs.
- Do I prefer owning an indestructible nail or owning a nail that can potentially crack or shatter if I use it incorrectly? This is a question you need to ask yourself because that will help you decide should you get a Titanium, Ceramic, or Quartz nail. If you want something that will never break, get a Titanium nail.
- Is Flavor very important to me? If flavor matters to you, then you will probably want to buy a quartz or ceramic nail. Glass gets the absolute cleanest taste.
- Can I get a quartz nail that heats up fast? The fastest heating quartz nail is the birdhouse quartz nail. It's definitely delicate. So be careful using it and taking it out with you. It is designed to heat very fast compared to other quartz nails.
- Do I want to use a carb cap with my domeless nail? Not all domeless nail models are made for you to use a carb cap. If you're trying to be more economical with your shatter or wax and want to use a carb cap with your nail, then choose a dab nail that is compatible with a typical carb cap.
