I got a medical card here in LA and the prices are outrageous. Getting a dablicator with full spectrum oil seems to be the most cost effective. Trouble is I can’t seem to figure out how to use it.

At first I just ate it but I think I wasted $90 because I felt nothing and I don’t think it was decarbed.

Next I got some refillable 510 thread vapes and a small syringe to fill it. That has been a pain but it at least works a bit.

How am I supposed to use this stuff? Is it all the same or are there different kinds? Is it decarbed at all or not meant for vaping?

    Do you have a Weedmaps link or anything for what you bought?

    If I’m understanding what you bought correctly you should be able to do just about anything with it.

    Some people eat it or put it under their tongue for a bit before swallowing it, other people vape/smoke it or add it to flower and then vape/smoke it. It should already be decarbed unless you mistakenly bought something else that was meant specifically for vaping or smoking.

    I’ve seen decarbed oils and dab oil come in similar packaging before though so a picture or link would be helpful to confirm things.

        That looks like a product that’s meant to be vaped or smoked in a dab rig, so very likely not decarbed. It’s being advertised as “full spectrum concentrate” which is usually an indicator it’s meant for vaping or smoking, and the fancy applicator is just to make it easier to get it where you want it without extra dab tools and extra mess.

        I can’t say with 100% certainty if that product is suitable for anything though since the details are extremely sparse. For future reference here’s a cheat sheet on what has to be decarbed before use and what doesn’t.

          Ok neat. It is CO2 extracted according to the box.

          What is a dab rig? Is it appreciably different from a 510 vape? I have heard of dab’s before but never understood them either

            Traditionally a dab rig is like a bubbler or bong with a glass nail/bowl that you heat up with a torch and then apply to the concentrate. It would be like a 510 vape on steroids, similar to having a glass of wine versus a glass of whiskey.
