Cannabis users who dab take pride in creating personalized, hard-hitting, oil rigs. Nails are an essential part of any rig. That being said, keeping your nail clean is beyond important if you want a quality hit. While dab nails are made out of various materials, titanium is perhaps the most popular. There are so many ways to clean your nails, so let’s review how to clean a titanium dab nail so that you can dab on.

While cleaning your nail specifically is important, because that’s where you’re putting the sweet stuff, cleaning your oil rig overall is essential.

Creating the perfect rig is expensive, especially for the frequent dabber. If you’re more than the occasional dabber, you’re going to spend a lot of money not only on the rig but on the shatters and oils.

Every rig experiences reburn, spills, a sticky residue, making cleaning all the more important. You’ve spent a lot of money on your set up, so keep it clean and get the best high you can.

The torching method is one of the easiest ways to clean a titanium nail. Light up your torch and heat the nail, as if you were preparing to take a hit. The torch heat will burn off any excess shatter or oil.

Some dabbers use the torching method before taking each dab, while some do after every use. Overall, the torching method is the easiest and fastest way to clean your titanium nail.

When choosing a dab torch, make sure you go for a powerful unit that can really bring up the temperature of your nail and melt any residues. The Blazer GT8000 is a staple in the industry for its ergonomic design and usability. This industrial torch is the go-to of expert dabbers because it reached temperatures of up to 2500º F.

The water method of cleaning your titanium nail has a few more steps but requires little effort.

1. Heat your nail until red, then place in water at room temperature
2. Let the nail sit, then remove with tongs after about 10 minutes
3. If there is still residue on your nail, scrub it – it’s titanium, you’re not going to damage it, muscles!
