When it comes to dabbing, seasoned nails are essential for a smooth and flavorful experience. Seasoning a nail involves heating it to a high temperature to burn off any impurities, such as manufacturing residue, that may affect the taste of your dabs. While quartz and titanium nails are the most popular choices for dabbing, they require different seasoning methods due to their unique properties. This guide will walk you through the steps for seasoning your quartz and titanium nails to ensure a top-notch dabbing experience.
Seasoning a Quartz Nail
- Preparing the nail
Clean the nail with isopropyl alcohol to remove any dirt or debris. Rinse with water and let it dry completely.
- Applying the seasoning
Using a dab tool, apply a small amount of concentrate to the nail’s interior. Spread the concentrate around the nail’s surface, covering as much area as possible.
- Heating the nail
Heat the nail with a torch until it starts to turn red. Let it cool for 10-15 seconds before applying the concentrate. Heat the nail again until it turns red, then let it cool.
- Cleaning the nail
Once the nail cools down, use a q-tip or cotton swab to clean out any leftover concentrate or residue. Repeat the seasoning process a few times before your first dab.
