To put it simply, a dab rig is a device designed specifically for the ingestion of cannabis concentrates, most often referred to as dabs. A bong-like e dab rigs features additional attachments that make it more like a dab rig than a bong. The biggest difference between dabbing and smoking is that it's more like vaping. A "nail" is used to heat a concentrate, rather than exposing the item being ingested directly to flame. Despite the fact that using a flame causes the nail to get rather hot and increases the risk of combustion, this method offers many of the same benefits as vaping as compared to smoking dab rig.
