Nowadays, a shift has been observed in the dabbing culture from dabbing at a higher temperature to a lower temperature. It gives a good flower out of the concentrate and is also safe for your health.
On the other hand, many of the stoners still using high temperatures. According to them, smoking at higher temperature dabbing gets you higher better.
In this article, we will investigate at which temperature people should smoke. Is it true that the more hot the concentrate is, the better the high?

Is there the best temperature for dabbing?
When you are into dabbing, there is no specific temperature called the perfect temperature because every temperature gives a different type of flavour hit and the experience. So, we can conclude that the best temperature is somewhere in between low and high.
As the active ingredients in cannabis have been understood, so it has been found that the optimal temperature for dabbing is between 300F and 450F.
The boiling point is the main factor of getting this optimal temperature range as the ingredients found in cannabis which are cannabinoids and terpene, have a specific boiling point. The boiling point needs to be discussed as the dabbing relies on the vaporization method. When the liquid changes to vapour, that point is called as boiling point. The boiling point of THC is 315F, and CBD, which is the other ingredient in cannabis, boils between 320 and 356F.
The aromatic compounds, which are called terpenes, also have a different boiling point. However, most of the terpenes change to vapour at a temperature of around 330-390F. So now we know that the ideal temperature for dabbing could be somewhere between 300 to 450 F. The reason is that the boiling points of most of the compounds lie between this temperature.
Low Temp Dab vs High Temp Dab
At lower temperatures, the dabbing tends to give a smoother and flavorful hit. On the other hand, a higher temperature would give you a harsh but intense experience. But it is a long debate about which temperature gets you higher.
As observed, the high, which low-temperature dabbing would give will kick in slowly but will be long lasting and easier on you. While the high you get from dabbing at high temperature would kick In quickly and give you an intense high but goes away quickly as well.
The biggest disadvantage of smoking at a higher temperature is that you will destroy the compounds that produce flavour.
Moreover, it would be bad if you smoke at a temperature above 450F because it will be harmful to you because all the dangerous gases would be produced due to combustion.
Conclusion
As we have seen earlier that there is no perfect temperature for dabbing. Different compounds in cannabis boil at different temperatures. That is the reason why it is said that the optimal temperature could range from 300 to 450F. As the compounds like THC, CBD and terpenes vaporize at this temperature range so it would give a good hit if you smoke at this temperature.
However, when you are smoking at a lower temperature, it is going to give you a long-lasting high, but the effects would come in slowly. On the other hand, high-temperature dabbing would give an intense high with effects going away quickly.
