Merry Christmas South Sierra Dude. I know nothing about dabbing. I thought it had to do with smoking oil, wax,shatter or similar substances, but I have no firsthand knowledge. We made oil years ago with isopropyl alcohol, but it was kinda crazy and dangerous. My friends rented a house to their nephew two or three years ago. He proceeded to blow the house up making some kinda oil with butane. Blew the fridge halfway through an outside wall, blew out every window and door in the house, blew the kitchen cabinets off the walls and raised the entire roof two inches. Blasted the kid (late 20s) across the kitchen, over the sink, and out one of the windows. Luckily for him he didn't die, but he was sure bruised and cut up from head to toe. I digress, sorry. I only know how to make bubble hash or CO2 hash, which I prefer. I don't want to blow myself up making wax or shatter (which also involve butane, do they not?) or derivatives. So I guess dabbing isn't for me if you can't do it with normal hash. I am fascinated with all the new ways the youngsters have come up with to get high though. Guess you really can't teach an old dog new tricks.
