Dabbing is fast replacing vaping and smoking as the preferred method for consuming cannabis in Australia. Instead of dry bud, dabbing uses the concentrated wax.
Read our guide to dabbing cannabis here.
Dabbing is a new method of consuming marijuana that has become popular due to its higher concentration. When it first started, you would need a large dab rig, but this has all changed with Dab Pens.

So with that out of the way, we now all have a relatively good understanding of what dabbing is, and now we can appreciate Dab Pens and their supreme portability.
