In the world of dabbing, connoisseurs are constantly seeking ways to level up their experience and savor the full spectrum of terps offered by their concentrates. Enter the Ritual Silicone Deluxe Nectar Collector, a versatile tool that will revolutionize the way you enjoy your terps. In this guide, we'll dive into the techniques of using a silicone nectar collector to unlock the rich flavors you are searching for.
Understanding the Silicone Nectar Collector:
Let's first familiarize ourselves with our silicone nectar collector. Unlike traditional dab rigs, which are often made of borosilicate glass, a silicone nectar collectors offer unparalleled durability and portability. These devices typically consist of a silicone body, a titanium or quartz tip, and a dish for holding your concentrates. Nectar collector kits often come with additional accessories to enhance your dabbing experience.
The feature that really sets our Nectar collector apart from the rest is the platinum cured silicone that we use in our silicone pipes. Platinum cured silicone is a manufacturing technique of curing raw silicone. In a platinum cure system, the only ingredient introduced to the raw silicone is platinum, which is a precious metal.Since in a platinum-cure system we add platinum to the raw silicone to create a catalyst, this is a curing technique.
Preparing To Sesh:
To ensure optimal flavor extraction, it's crucial to properly prepare your silicone nectar collector before each use. Start by assembling the various components of your nectar collector kit, ensuring that the quartz tip is securely in place. Next, heat the tip of your nectar collector using a torch until it reaches the desired temperature. Allow the tip to cool for a few seconds to avoid burning your concentrates.
Choosing High-Quality Concentrates:
The key to savoring your terps lies in the quality of your concentrates. When selecting concentrates for dabbing, look deeply into the COA for high levels of terpenes and cannabinoids. Look for strains known for their complex flavor profiles, such as Papaya Kush, White Runtz, and Wedding Cake.
There’s tons of different concentrate types out there such as Rosin, BHO, Distillate, Badder, Live Resin, Shatter, and more… so make sure you do your homework. We recommend going with a badder for the nectar collector as it is the easiest consistency to work with.
Mastering the Nectar Collector Technique:
With your silicone nectar collector heated up and your concentrates opened up on your table… it's time to master the art of dabbing. Begin by gently dipping the tip of your nectar collector into your concentrates, ensuring that the tip makes contact with the oil without submerging it entirely. Slowly inhale as you apply heat to the concentrates, allowing the vapor to travel through the nectar collector and into your lungs. Be mindful not to overheat your concentrates, as this can result in a harsh, unpleasant taste.
Savor the Flavor:
As you take your first inhale, pay close attention to the intricate flavors dancing across your palate. Terpenes, the aromatic compounds found in cannabis, are responsible for the unique flavors and aromas of each strain. From the zesty citrus notes of Limonene to the earthy undertones of Myrcene, each dab offers a symphony of flavors waiting to be explored. Take your time to savor the nuances of each hit, allowing the full spectrum of flavors to wash over you.
Cleaning and Maintenance:
To prolong the life of your silicone nectar collector and preserve the integrity of your flavors, it's essential to clean and maintain your device regularly. After each use, disassemble your nectar collector and rinse the various components with warm water and 91% Isopropyl Alcohol. Allow your nectar collector to air dry completely before reassembling it for future use.
