been feeling like flower doesnt do it for me anymore. my asthma has been fucked lately so even smoking a bowl makes me have to hit the albuterol inhaler or nebulizer. thinking about getting into wax/diamonds/whatever theyre calling the new good shit. but i have no source let alone one i know isnt making that shit like ass, nor do i have the correct bong or a torch. but i figure if a few hits is gonna make my asthma fucked regardless, to the point that its not even physically possible to smoke enough for me to really get high without having to take an asthma break, i might as well be coughing up a lung over something much stronger. i have some pretty serious chronic illnesses and im all fucked up on the inside so i try to smoke whatever heavy indicas i can, so for reference, i am trying to get much higher than what might be normal for someone that isnt me.
again i have literally no experience with dabs or anything other than being in LA for a month and hitting one daily while i was there.
thoughts? need some wax ogs to put me on.

sounds like concentrates may be for you Pete. You pretty much want:
- a rig (bongs are technically for flower)
- a nail (quartz banger is the norm these days)
- a cap with airflow for the banger (helps generate more vapor and stir the oil to hotter spots on the nail)
- a proper torch (Blazer GT800)
Then all that’s left is the product, and a metal dabber/dab tool to scoop up your product and put it in the banger. Don’t settle for shitty product. The price on the set up ranges from cheap china glass of DHGate (sub $100) to the skys the limit. There’s products like puffco peak but that shit can’t replace a dab.
I recommend getting quality US quartz from someone like Quave club banger or a JP Toro Grail, but they get pricey. Your rig doesn’t need to be an art piece but you might want to invest in the material you melt/smoke your concentrate of of. Theres a good few US quartz blowers out there.
Had a solid 5 or so years where I was dabbing heavily, from a half to ~2 grams per day. These days I keep it more moderate, just a lil hash rosin once a night or so. Mix it with the flower.
I still some glass for sale, if you’re interested. Could hook you up with a starter set up. If not, your local headshop or DHGate won’t fail you. I have advice as far as cleaning the rig & nail or letting the banger cool down to an optimal temp and shit like that but that’s enough for now.
To add: The type of concentrate is more than just slang. Wax, shatter, diamonds, sauce, rosin, whatever, are all different. Like how people might call flower kush, or some specific shit that its really not. Some forms of concentrate work better for certain people, so try different shit. I personally find diamond consistently harsh, and prefer 90μm full melt hash rosin sourced properly over everything. Will always have love for proper BHO though.
