Dabbing has become a popular method of consuming concentrates due to its potency and flavor. While a quality dab rig is integral to the experience, having the right accessories can elevate your dabbing game to new heights. Let's explore the best accessories to use with your dab rig for an unparalleled experience. 1. Carb Cap A carb cap is an essential accessory for any dabbing enthusiast. It controls airflow and pressure within the dab nail, allowing you to vaporize your concentrates at lower temperatures. This results in smoother, more flavorful hits. Different styles of carb caps, such as directional carb caps, offer added control over airflow, maximizing the efficiency of your dabs. 2. Dab Tool A dab tool, also known as a dabber, is used to apply the concentrate to the heated nail safely. Dab tools come in a variety of shapes and sizes, allowing you to find one that suits your dabbing style and the type of concentrate you use. 3. Torch A good torch is indispensable for heating your dab nail. While many types of torches can get the job done, it's crucial to choose a reliable torch that can reach high temperatures quickly and safely. The size of the torch will depend on your dabbing frequency and the type of dab nail you use. 4. Dab Mat A dab mat protects your surfaces from potential damage during the dabbing process. It also provides a place to rest your hot dab tool and keep your dab rig stable. Silicone dab mats are popular due to their heat resistance and easy cleaning. 5. Dab Container Dab containers are designed to store your concentrates safely. They are typically made of non-stick materials like silicone, which preserve the quality of your concentrates and make it easy to access every bit of your product. 6. Quartz Banger A quartz banger is a type of dab nail made from quartz crystal. It's favored for its superior heat retention and ability to deliver a clean-tasting vapor. Pairing your dab rig with a high-quality quartz banger can significantly enhance your dabbing experience. 7. E-Nail For those who prefer precision, an e-nail is a fantastic investment. It allows you to set your desired temperature for vaporizing your concentrate, ensuring consistent dabs every time without the need for a torch.

In some cases, rookie cannabis growers tend to focus on certain growing aspects such as lighting set-ups, soil, and strain. However, the type of nutrients you feed your plants is also just as important. Naturally every grower, whether they’re a long-term grower or novice, wants plants that are healthy and productive. Consequently, feeding them the best nutrients is one way you can accomplish that goal. Healthy marijuana plants need a fertilizer that contains 3 important elements or nutrients: nitrogen (N) phosphorus (P) potassium (K) The combination of these nutrients is often represented on the fertilizer label as NPK. So if you’ve been wondering what that 3-letter combination means, now you know. Nitrogen is essential for leafy growth, Phosphorus contributes to bud and root growth, and Potassium promotes flower development. When given to your plants, these essential nutrients positively impact your plant’s overall growth in the following ways: Nitrogen – this nutrient is vital to the production of chlorophyll which in turn spurns photosynthesis. It’s also a key component of amino acids, the building blocks of proteins. Basically, nitrogen is essential to every organic lifeform on the planet. As a result, cannabis plants must be fed nitrogen throughout their life cycle. Just as humans must have protein to build and maintain muscle mass, cannabis plants need it in order to build strong branches, leaves, roots, and stalks. Phosphorus – in order to develop strong buds and roots that help strengthen plant structure, cannabis plants must be feed phosphorus to help them attain genetic integrity and reach its fullest potential. Although cannabis plants must have phosphorus during their entire life cycles, it is most important during the flowering stage. By maintaining adequate phosphorus levels, your cannabis plants will have a solid root system and be strong and vibrant as well. Potassium – the immune system of a cannabis plant is based on this nutrient. Plants usually demand higher doses of potassium during the flowering stage in order to create chunkier, well-developed buds. In addition to increasing bud size, potassium helps the plants use water more efficiently, protects them from disease and infection, and strengthens plant tissue. Potassium is considered a “mobile” in much the same way as nitrogen and phosphorus. In other words, you can take potassium from the old growth and redirect towards the new growth. Without this nutrient, stems will be weaker and you’ll have a dramatically lower yield.

Many individuals may know what it feels like to get high, but ask a dozen different pot smokers how or why this happens and only a handful can explain the process. When you smoke weed, THC or delta9-THC (the psychoactive constituent in weed) travels through the lungs and into the bloodstream where it is eventually carried to the brain. Although the lungs filter some of the delta9-THC, up to 60% of it traverses the blood-to-brain barrier and causes the person to get high. The High and Peak Concentration From start to finish, a person can feel the results of the process almost immediately as peak concentrations of delta9-THC occur within 5 to 15 minutes after the person first inhales. In other words, this is the highest you’ll get. From that point on, the effects start to dissipate over the next hour or two. Here are the key takeaways to remember:THC is introduced into your body when you smoke marijuana.You can feel the effects of the THC within a few minutes of smoking.The peak concentration (peak of the high) occurs within 15 minutes and can be gone within an hour after smoking. The Feel of the High So what does getting high actually feel like? Whether you smoke marijuana in a blunt, bong, joint, or pipe, there are certain effects that you are going to feel including: amusement creativity euphoria hunger (the “munchies”) relaxation sensitivity to certain colors as well as light, smell, sound, taste, and touch The key point to remember is that you’ll feel high almost immediately and it will be intense for roughly 20 to 30 minutes before it begins tapering off. Thus, if you’re looking for the best way to experience a quick, intense high, smoking marijuana is your best and safest bet. However, you’ll need to select the variety of herbs that suit your recreational or medical requirements. What happens when You consume Edibles? When you ingest marijuana edibles, the delta9-THC travels down your esophagus into your stomach, then passes through the stomach and on to your liver. Once in the liver, it is “transformed” (metabolized) into 11-hydroxy-THC, the chemical that differentiates the process of ingesting weed from smoking it. Compared to delta9-THC, 11-hydroxy-THC has a more potent psychedelic effect. This explains why you feel differently after ingesting marijuana compared to how you feel after smoking it. The key difference between ingesting and smoking is that you offset the munchies when ingesting edibles.For more information regarding the sensation of feeling high or to hear about our fine line of smoking accessories, call Tank Glass at (323)-364-7952 today.

Caryophyllene is the chemical compound found in cannabis that gives it its pungent smell and taste. Unfortunately, most of us have never heard of it because it’s often overshadowed by its cannabinoid cousins CBD and THC. Caryophyllene or more specifically beta-caryophyllene is one of the common terpenes found in marijuana. If you’re wondering what it smells and tastes like, imagine a compound made up of basil, cinnamon, cloves, and oregano. Getting to know Terpenes Terpenes are the chemical compounds found in cannabis plants that produce a broad range of flavors and smells. They are subdivided into two categories: Monoterpenes – lighter terpenes that are responsible for numerous floral scents such as apple, geranium, jasmine, kiwi, and rose Sesquiterpenes – heavier terpenes responsible for more pungent scents such as diesel fuel, musk, patchouli, skunk, and tea tree (caryophyllene is a Sesquiterpene) Interestingly enough, it is the unique combinations of certain terpenes that those non-plant smells such as diesel fuel and skunk. However, terpenes are not just unique to cannabis and are commonly found is a wide range of plants in a variety of combinations and quantities. Furthermore, terpenes offer numerous health benefits and can be useful in the treatment of: anxiety asthma cancer depression gallstones insomnia loss of appetite muscle strain nausea stress Does this mean that you can use caryophyllene to treat all of these disorders? No. But we have listed caryophyllene’s beneficial effects in the next section. Benefits and Effects The benefits and effects of caryophyllene can be combined into a single category, hence the reference above to “beneficial effects.” These beneficial effects include: Anti-inflammatory – caryophyllene research has shown that it can treat just about everything from allergies to osteoarthritis and that it may be used in the future in the care and management of certain chronic inflammatory conditions Antioxidant – another one of caryophyllene’s beneficial effects is its antioxidant qualities. Antioxidants help to remove unstable atoms known as free radicals from the body, thereby preventing damage to cells that can cause aging and illness Anti-tumoral – because caryophyllene has anti-inflammatory qualities, it could potentially serve as an anti-tumoral. Recent research has revealed promising results suggesting that caryophyllene may help to encourage anti-metastatic activity. Studies are still ongoing about the Sedative – marijuana’s ability to help you sleep and its sedative qualities are well-known side effects. Recent caryophyllene research has indicated that extremely high doses of the compound may have sedative effects on lab mice.

When it comes to getting a good night’s rest, there are dozens of drugs and other products on the market that promise to do that. Unfortunately, some of those products aren’t the healthiest or may not suit you. However, there’s a natural remedy you may have overlooked, namely cannabis. Studies suggest that cannabis will not only enable you to sleep better but could also relieve any anxiety or pain that may be preventing you from falling and staying asleep through the night. It assists to calm your nerves and mind, helping effectively allowing you to have a restful sleep. Related Statistics Whether it’s associated with a physical or psychological condition, most of us have problems sleeping occasionally. In fact, about 35% of all American adults aren’t getting the required 7 hours of sleep. Furthermore, about 3 out of every 10 adults suffer with frequent bouts of insomnia. As a result of this, the sleeping aids industry (e.g. drugs, special pillows, and supplements) is expected to generate $102 billion by 2023. Effects of Cannabis on Sleep Although the research involving cannabis and sleep is ongoing, it has been shown that marijuana helps us fall asleep. Studies have also shown that cannabis enables chronic pain sufferers to sleep throughout the night. If you want to understand how our ability to sleep is affected by cannabis, consider the active compounds CBD, THC, and other cannabinoids that react well with the endocannabinoid system. This impacts a number of physical processes including the sleep-wake cycle.CBD helps us fall asleep by mimicking anandamide, our body’s naturally-produced cannabinoid. It is often referred to as the “bliss molecule” because of its ability to promote calmness. THC, the cannabinoid responsible for the high or psychoactive effect that marijuana produces, enables people to fall asleep, even in low doses. It also depresses the REM (Rapid Eye Movement) cycle, meaning that you’re not as likely to dream when using marijuana for sleep.This has been shown to be effective for individuals who suffer with bad or frightening dreams associated with PTSD or post-traumatic stress disorder. According to research, it’s unclear if depressing REM sleep has long-term consequences. It’s been suggested that the true power of cannabis lies in its ability to ease the symptoms of conditions or disorders that prevent people from falling asleep easily such as anxiety, chronic pain, and PTSD. The bottom line is that sleeping better improves your overall health.We have a line of products to help you enjoy your smoke.

Most of us realize when weed has passed its prime when you take a hit that tastes stale and unpleasantly harsh. Damp environment is the biggest culprit. It’s understandable that keeping your weed fresh by storing it properly is of the utmost importance. Knowing how to keep it fresh is essential to the quality of your smoking sessions and keeping them enjoyable. It also ensures that you’ll be enjoying your weed at the height of its potency. Fortunately, there are several products that can help you accomplish this. Techniques for storing Your Weed properly Let’s be realistic for a minute. As much as you probably love your dispensary, you don’t have the time to visit them every day to purchase a joint full or pipe full of weed in order to ensure its freshness every time you smoke. Keeping it properly helps. It can be very discouraging when the weed you recently purchased is showing a decrease in freshness and quality. So, how do you store it at home to ensure its effectiveness and freshness? It’s not as difficult as you might think. Here are two ways to store your weed at home:Humidity packs – when it comes to keeping your weed fresh, one of the worst things you can do is expose it to excess humidity. It makes the buds too moist, difficult to grind, and incredibly hard to smoke. Furthermore, it promotes the growth of mold which is not only gross but unhealthy for your lungs. Keeping moisture at bay is essential to ensuring the freshness and potency of your weed. One way to protect it from moisture exposure is by using humidity packs. Just pop one into the container you store your weed in and it will protect them from humidity without drying them out.Sealed Mason jars – Mason jars are popular for storing all kinds of things. Although they are commonly used for storing homemade food items such as jams, jellies, and pickled foods, you can use them for other purposes, one of which is storing your weed. Believe it or not, they’re ideal for storing weed. They’re made from clear glass so you can see your weed without opening the container. Additionally, you can use them over and over again without having to worry that the glass will absorb the smell. This is a key factor if you want to use the same container for different strains.We have containers, bongs, beakers and an assorted variety of pipes to keep and smoke your herbs properly. For more information about the proper storage of weed, contact Tank Glass today at (323)-364-7952. Our business representatives will be happy to help.

Most people believe that the difference between medical and recreational strains of cannabis is that one is used to treat certain health conditions or illnesses while the other is used recreationally to get high. However, the actual differences have more to do with the person smoking them than the strain they’re smoking. Whether it’s used for medicinal or recreational purposes, we’ve witnessed a growing popularity in balancing the cannabinoid profiles in question. 6 Ways that Medical Marijuana differs from the Recreational Strains That being said, the following is an outline of the primary differences between medical and recreational cannabis. There are practical distinctions involved when there is a common market for both strains. These include: Accessibility – generally speaking, recreational marijuana is less accessible than its medical counterpart. For instance, more states in the US have legalized the medicinal strains versus the recreational ones. Furthermore, you only need to be 18 years of age to get a prescription for medical marijuana whereas you must be 21 to purchase the recreational varieties. Consumption – one area where we see a very clear distinction between the two strains is the method of consumption. Even though you can smoke cannabis in whichever way you feel best facilitates your needs, those individuals classified as medical cannabis users will most likely use fewer traditional methods. Effects – the higher the concentration of THC, the much stronger the resulting effect will be. For individuals who desire or need regular treatment, recreational cannabis may be inappropriate. Unlike recreational cannabis, the more balanced medicinal strains will not inhibit your ability to live your life in normal fashion. Potency – the medical cannabis that is being produced today is somewhat less potent than the recreational strains. In this case, “potency” isn’t referring to the cannabinoid content. It refers to the THC content. The reality is that the recreational strains typically have a lower concentration of other cannabinoids. Thus, it might be easier to get high when you smoke for pleasure. Quality – in some instances, medical cannabis is a higher quality strain. Whether this means that it was exposed to fewer pesticides, grown more carefully under stricter conditions, or subject to more quality control, the quality of medical cannabis tends to be a higher quality product because of how highly regulated it is. Variety – since the market’s definitions of medical marijuana is limited, so too is the variety of the strains that a user is likely going to find in dispensaries compared to that of the recreational strains. Even then there is a wide variety of options and flavors that you can try. To learn more about the differences between medical and recreational cannabis, call Tank Glass today at (323) 364-7952.

If you’re planning on making a purchase at an online headshop in the near future, you’ll be in good company. It’s interesting to note that the market for smoking accessories generates about $10 billion annually in the U.S alone. Unfortunately, there are many consumers who have a difficult time entrusting their business to online retailers. This is primarily due to the 5 myths about purchasing items from an online headshop. Read on as we debunk each one.Chances are, your items will be broken when you receive them – FALSE. Online headshops don’t have huge warehouses where things move around on conveyor belts before getting picked up and packaged for shipping. In fact, the majority of these tasks are done by hand to ensure less breakage and damage. Additionally, each piece is individually wrapped in quality packing supplies so that there is minimum damage even if the package is roughly handled. It’s illegal to purchase items from an online headshop – FALSE. As long as you’re 18 years of age or older, it’s perfectly legal to purchase smoking accessories from an online headshop. Whether it’s a bong, pipe, or vaporizer, you can purchase it without fear of penalty or recrimination. This applies to any smoking device and accessories. As long as you’re of age, there’s nothing to worry about.Online headshops sell black market items or knock-off merchandise – FALSE. If they did, you can safely bet they wouldn’t be in business for very long. It’s a given that world-class brands have to compete with fake goods that are manufactured overseas by “sweatshops” who are proficient at reproducing the real thing. However, legitimate headshops can smell a fake piece of merchandise a mile away.Prices at online headshops are always higher – FALSE. Granted, prices will vary from one headshop to the next because of some exclusive items. However, for all intents and purposes, industry competition creates noticeable price parity or uniformity most of the time. In fact, online pricing is often cheaper because of less overhead, no taxes on square footage, and no monthly leases to pay.Your information won’t be private and secure – FALSE. Although no online site is 100% secure, protecting the customer’s privacy and the security of their personal info is priority #1. Online headshops are PCI/DSS compliant and never retain any credit card information or personal data without the consumer’s consent. Besides that, most shops feel that the less data and files they have to store, the better off they’ll be.Hopefully this has cleared up any doubts you have about shopping for your smoking accessories online.

Most online smoke shops are very proud of their websites as well as their physical storefront locations. Yet while shopping in-person at these physical locations does have its merits, there are several advantages of ordering products through their website as well. The following will give you a better idea of the 5 advantages of purchasing your smoking accessories online.Comparison shopping has never been easier – we’ve all experienced buyer’s remorse at least once in our lives. Probably more than once. We often second-guess what we’ve bought afterwards, especially if it was an expensive item or one that was purchased impulsively. There won’t be any worries about this when shopping online since it’s never been easier to do research and comparison shop the items that you’re interested in.COVID-19 has caused the shift to online shopping – since the onset of the virus over a year ago, most of us have been reluctant to participate in activities or run errands out of fear of exposure. This is one of the primary reasons that buying patterns have shifted towards online shopping. After all, there’s no need to risk your health and well-being if you don’t have to go out.Shopping and shipping is very discreet – even in states where cannabis is legal, many smokers prefer to keep their love of smoking private. Most of these individuals are concerned about their non-smoking family members as well as employers and landlords seeing them shopping at these public locations. If you’re shopping online in the comfort of your own home, the likelihood of being noticed is extremely low as the packages are ordinary looking. Simpler sorting and a wider selection – if you’re worried about breadth of assortment or the lack of variety because of not visiting a retail store, there’s no cause for concern when shopping for your items online. Most online smoke shops offer more products online than their physical locations. Even with hundreds of products, you have the ability to filter out what you’re not interested in when you know what you’re looking for. Usually, more products are stored at the warehouse than the physical store but can be browsed online with ease. Whether on-site or online, we’re always here to help – no matter how you purchase your smoke shop accessories, we’re always here to assist with your needs or answer your questions.
