You may have heard of the 4/20 holiday, but do you know about 7/10, aka Dab Day? The summer weed celebration honors all things related to cannabis concentrates and the art of dabbing. At Flor de Fred, you won’t want to miss out on our 710 in Queens deals and events. Located in Ozone Park, our adult-use dispensary carries all the top NY concentrates brands and the accessories you need to get dabbing on July 10th.
What is Dabbing?
If you’re new to dabbing, the term refers to a popular way to consume cannabis concentrates. Weed concentrates come in different forms and typically have three times or more THC than flower. Although you can enjoy concentrates in a variety of ways, dabbing involves vaporizing a small amount of concentrate on a hot surface and then inhaling the vapor. Dabbing appeals to those seeking fast-acting effects. Fans of dabbing also feel that dabbing offers a more flavorful and hard-hitting weed experience.
To dab, you’ll typically need an electronic or traditional dab rig. The traditional dab rig requires you to heat a quartz banger with a torch and then drop in your dab of concentrate before inhaling through the water pipe. An e-rig will control the temperature for you without the need for a torch.
What is 710?
Flor de Fred can trace back the origins of Dab Day to the early 2010s. Rapper Taskrok, who would eventually release 710-themed songs like “Boil That Oil” and “7:10,” went online to suggest new holidays to expand weed celebrations. 710 was considered the perfect concentrate holiday pick since it spells “OIL” when read upside down. An “LA Weekly” profile on the holiday further expanded recognition of the date. Today, dispensaries like Flor de Fred often hold exclusive sales and events on and around July 10th.
Types of Dabs and Concentrates
The first thing you’ll need to grab for Dab Day is concentrates from Flor de Fred. The concentrate you choose should produce a smooth vapor. Here are a few types to consider:
- Badders: Malleable and made from solvents, badders have a soft texture that makes them easy to scoop for dabbing.
- Live resins: These concentrates are made from fresh flower that are flash-frozen to lock in flavors and terpenes.
- Live rosins: Rosins are made without the use of a solvent and are produced by pressing flower with heat and pressure. You can easily handle rosins, and they typically come high in THC and terpenes.
- Sauces: With an oil-like texture and THC diamonds, sauces have high terpenes and strong flavor profiles.
