Dabbing vs. Smoking Flower: What’s the Difference?
Whether you’re rolling up a fat joint or heating up your dab rig, there’s one question that keeps floating around like a cloud of smoke:
What’s the actual difference between dabbing and smoking flower?
Let’s break it down. 🌬️💨
🌿 Smoking Flower: The OG Experience
You know it, you love it — that earthy smell, the satisfying crackle of a burning nug, the whole ritual of rolling, packing, lighting a bowl. Smoking flower is the classic cannabis experience.
Pros:
-
✅ Easier to control your high — great for casual or social sessions.
-
✅ More terpenes (flavor!) — if your bud is fresh and high quality.
-
✅ You don’t need fancy gear — just a lighter and a pipe, bong, or papers.
Cons:
-
❌ Depending on the strain and your tolerance, could take more to get you as high as a kite.
-
❌ Smoke can be harsh on your lungs over time.
-
❌ That classic weed smell can linger for a long time.
🧪 Dabbing: The Future Is Potent
Dabbing is basically cannabis on expert mode. You’re vaporizing concentrated extracts (like wax, shatter, live resin or live rosin) on a hot surface and inhaling the vapor. It hits fast, hard, and heavy — kind of like getting drop-kicked into another dimension.
Pros:
-
✅ Super potent — a tiny dab can go a looooong way.
-
✅ Cleaner high — no plant matter, just concentrated cannabinoids.
-
✅ Flavor chasers rejoice: dabs can taste amazing if done right.
Cons:
-
❌ The setup can be intimidating — rigs, torches, carb caps? It’s like a science experiment and ain’t nobody got time for that.
-
❌ Easy to overdo it — a little goes a long way and one rookie mistake can equal coughing for 3 minutes straight.
-
❌ Dabbing is definitely more niche and supplies could be hard to come by depending on where you live.
