​How to Use a Carb Cap

Many bong users want to know whether using a carb cap is really worth it. Some think it is essential for domeless nails without slits on the bottom of the dish. Capping domeless nails does allow you to breathe out while retaining vapor when you take a strong dab. Needless to say, using a carb cap does have its benefits.

For instance, if offers you amazing flavors from a low-temp dab when you are using a torch with a cap. Low-temp dabbing is a relatively new thing that is being tested out more and more by the experienced users. They like the smoother hits and the optimized flavors offered by low temperature dabbing.

And it is also possible to ‘double-dab’. What happens is that you take a dab and it goes, and then you cap it. But sometimes you see that the chamber gets white all over again, you have another dab to inhale and enjoy!

Then there is also the practicality factor. You see, a cap can also serve as a stand for the dabber, and this is more hygienic than anything else that you can use. Plus, it gives you something to do after taking a hit. Instead of pulling the nail to clear the dabber, you can do a sort of pulling action after taking a bong rip, which also helps to avoid ‘stoner’ burns.

Using a carb cap is not all that difficult. Firstly, you need to ensure that your product operates as an open air system. What this means is that vaporization of the concentrates is done through the heat from the bottom of the nail, as for example, in the case of domeless nails discussed above. Other examples include curves, bangers, etc.

You see, the carb cap actually creates a chamber to restrict the airflow in which the concentrates vaporize. Usually, a cap will only have one hole in this chamber which helps in suction and also cool down the air and vapor inside it.

As far as the choice of material goes, you have a wide variety of choose from. Carb caps can be made of:

• Quartz
• Titanium
• Ceramic
• Glass

What needs to be remembered here is that the choice of material does not affect the function of the cap in any way. The designs are virtually the same as well. A cap is rounded on one end and pointed on the other, which as mentioned before, offers great usability.

The choice will depend on your personal style and preferences. This actually allows you to have customized experience with your dabber, which boosts the usage experience.

Finally, remember that the purpose of the carb cap is to help you to hit a ‘sweet spot’ where the temperature is just right. Timing is everything, and it will take a couple of tries on your part to get this right. But once you do so, you will never look back. We highly recommend this item if you haven’t already tried it.
