Your bag is empty
Do we really need a reason to celebrate cannabis? Of course not. But we’re always down for another one — and July 10th, aka 710 Day or Dab Day, gives concentrates the spotlight they deserve.
So, Why 7/10?
Here’s the fun part: flip 710 upside down and you get… OIL. That happy little accident sparked the rise of “Dab Day,” a celebration of all things cannabis concentrates — the potent, flavorful extracts that deliver a next-level kind of high. Whether you’re team shatter, wax, rosin, or live resin, 710 is about enjoying those concentrated good vibes with your favorite products and people.
The Origins of Dab Day
There’s no official origin story etched in stone, but the 710 buzz started heating up in the early 2010s. Some say it began in a TinyChat dab session where rapper TaskRok dropped the “710” reference during a wordplay game. The term made early internet rounds, popping up on TokeCity in 2011, and showing up on Urban Dictionary not long after. By 2013, LA Weekly had picked up the story — and just like that, Dab Day was official.
Meet the Stars of the Show: Cannabis Concentrates
Here’s a quick rundown of what you might see on the menu this 7/10:
- Shatter – A translucent, glass-like concentrate that breaks easily. Pure, powerful, and crisp.
- Wax / Budder / Crumble – These whipped, soft textures are easy to dab and full of flavor.
- Rosin – Solvent-free and clean, made with just heat and pressure.
- Hash Oil – Thick, sticky, and ultra-potent — also known as honey oil.
These potent extracts are packed with THC and terpenes, offering a full-spectrum experience whether you dab them, vape them, or infuse them into your pre-rolls.
Why Dab?
Sure, dabs will absolutely launch you to the moon — but there’s more to it than that:
- Fast-acting effects: No waiting around like you would with edibles.
- Big flavor: Concentrates preserve terpenes better than many other forms.
- Discreet smoke: Similar aroma to flower, but less lingering funk.
- Potent and efficient: A little goes a long, long way.
Whether you're looking to level up your sesh or just enjoy a more refined high, dabbing delivers.
How to Dab (a Step-by-Step Guide)
If you’ve never dabbed before, it can seem a little intimidating — blow torches, strange-looking glass, and high-potency oil that looks like it belongs in a science lab. But once you get the hang of it, dabbing is actually pretty simple — and super rewarding.
Here’s a more detailed breakdown:
Step 1: Assemble Your Dab Kit
You'll need:
- Dab rig – Like a bong, but made for oils and waxes.
- Nail or banger – The piece you heat; made of quartz, titanium, or ceramic.
- Dabber tool – A small metal or glass wand to handle your concentrate.
- Torch – A small butane torch is the standard; or upgrade to an e-nail for precise temps and no flame.
- Carb cap – Helps control airflow and retain heat.
- Your favorite concentrate – Wax, shatter, rosin, live resin — whatever you vibe with.
Step 2: Dose Smart
Use your dab tool to scoop a small amount — think a grain of rice or less. Dabs are super potent, so start small. You can always go back for round two.
Step 3: Heat Things Up
Use your torch to heat the nail or banger until it's red-hot. If you're using an e-nail, just set your preferred temp (more on that below).
Step 4: Cool It Down
Let the nail cool for 30–45 seconds. If it's too hot, your dab will burn and taste harsh. Ideal temps for flavor and smoothness usually sit between 500°F–600°F.
- Low temp = more flavor, less vapor
- High temp = more vapor, but may sacrifice taste
Step 5: Dab & Inhale
Touch your concentrate to the cooled nail while inhaling through the rig's mouthpiece. The concentrate should vaporize on contact. Cover the banger with a carb cap if you're using one, and continue inhaling steadily.
Step 6: Exhale & Float Away
Once the hit’s in, let it out and let it settle in. Effects usually hit fast and heavy — so buckle up.
How to Celebrate 710 Like a Pro
Not ready to fire up the torch? No worries — 710 isn’t just for seasoned dabbers. Here are other fun (and flavorful) ways to get in on the oily goodness:
Vape It
Try a disposable dab pen or 510-thread cart loaded with live resin or distillate. Easy, discreet, and way more portable than a dab rig.
Infused Pre-Rolls
Get your flower with a bonus kick. Look for infused joints rolled with hash, oil, or kief — or DIY your own by brushing your joint in wax or wrapping it in rosin.Eat Your Oil
Dabbing not your thing? No problem. Many edibles are made with cannabis oil. Think gummies, chocolates, and baked goods with heavy-hitting THC content — just be mindful of that classic edible delay.
Dab Day Self-Care
Not all concentrates need to go up in smoke. Try THC-infused topicals or bath oils if you want to keep it chill but still partake in the celebration.
Educate & Elevate
Use 710 as a moment to learn more about cannabis extraction, terpene profiles, and product quality. The world of oil is deep — and understanding it helps you get the most out of your experience.
Hit Up a Dab Day Deal
Last but not least, stop by LIV and scoop up some deals on your favorite concentrates. Whether you’re re-upping on your go-to wax or trying something totally new, 710 is prime time to stock up.
Final Dab Thoughts
710 is more than a number — it’s a tribute to the innovation, potency, and versatility of cannabis concentrates. However you choose to celebrate, make it flavorful, make it fun, and make it elevated. Happy Dab Day, friends.
