I don't understand how this method would be different than melting the oil on a titanium, glass or quartz nail? I don't see how there could be less waste using that particular contraption... I don't waste anything when using a titanium or glass nail in my 6 inch tall dab rig.
How do you waste with any product with a dab rig?
I don't know the exact mechanism by which a dome/nail setup wastes wax... but I couldn't be more confident that oil burners like the one I just posted an image of are significantly more efficient. I've been dabbing for years, all types of concentrates from the clubs, all different types of heady glass with and without filtration including Goldstein glass. I've even been to a dab bar. My experience is not the issue. I don't know why so many people love dabbing so much that they get so defensive of it, perhaps it's the ritual.
I really don't enjoy that ritual of heating the nail for 30 seconds with a butane torch every time I feel like taking a hit. Even if the torch were totally safe, I still wouldn't like having the use it every time. I smoke a lot, I'm not just going to take 1 or 2 dabs and be done. I'd have to keep reheating over and over again. I could use an electric nail like the one posted earlier, but losing some would still be an issue.
Try using an oil burner like the one in the picture and I guarantee your oil/wax will go much further. I don't know why, but I've always needed much less to get much more smoke this way. The amount that would be dabbed in one hit will stretch out to at least 2 hits, each appearing to yield just as much smoke as the dab would. I started this thread in hopes of somebody else finding that oil burner I posted above... Now I am sharing.
I'd like to steer the discussion toward e-cigs, since they also work very well. I think the P-dab VIP gives bigger rips than either the GPen or Atmos. Any thoughts on this?
Also... Somebody mentioned those little handheld butane torch lighters, that are the same size of an ordinary lighter. I thought those didn't get anywhere near hot enough for dabs, but does anybody use them?
