What Is Cold Start Dabbing?
Cold Start dabbing is a form of dabbing where instead of you heating your banger and dropping in a dab, you reverse it and you drop your dab in a cold banger, and then you cap and heat. It is a way of dabbing where you gradually heat the dab over time and at your own pace vs. immediately dropping your dab into a hot banger. Below are some pros and cons to cold start dabbing!
Cold Start Dabbing Pros:
Cold starts are fantastic because you can see the process from start to finish. You can gauge your heat and the size of your dabs better.
Cold Start Dabbing Cons:
A con of Cold Starting is that your dabs typically heat up quicker than you anticipate. Sometimes, this can lead to hot dabs and even burning some, which doesn't taste or feel the best on your lungs.
Cold Start Dabs Vs. Regular?
Regular dabs are done by heating your dab banger, allowing it to cool, dropping your dab in, capping, and inhaling. It is a slower process in comparison to cold start dabbing. Cold Starts are done in reverse. You place your dabs in an unheated, hard banger cap and then heat, watching all the magic happen. You get to inhale quicker, and the dabs heat faster.
