I am a pretty avid dabber. I've always been a fan of the titanium nail. However, I just bought a quartz banger nail. The first dab I put in flamed up really big. I thought I might have had plastic on the dabber or something because it produced a black smoke. I remembered I needed to season the nail. I've hit nails that aren't seasoned though and I've never seen a dab go up in flames like this. I've been heating it and dropping vegetable oil into it to try to season the quartz nail (I'm in a different state and have limited wax supply so I don't want to season it with my nice wax). I did this atleast 10 times. Each time, my vegetable oil flamed up like the dab did. Why is this happening? I have high quality Colorado brand name Mahatma wax. As said before, this wax doesn't flame up on any other nail. I've actually never seen it catch fire until I put it in this quartz nail. So wtf. Anyone have any advice, because this is pissing me off.
WTF is right..NEVER use cooking oil OR paraffin wax for anything you will be inhaling...PERIOD. did you create a new account just to spread misinformation like that, hoping to cause some 'dirty potheads' harm?
Quartz can heat up much hotter then Ti. Let your shit cool off. You are doing it way to hot. Also you don't have to season quartz. I do, but have heard its not mandatory like with Ti.
Thanks Johnny, letting it cool really long worked. Im not used to doing that. Cball, I wasn't inhaling the vegetable oil. I was just dropping it in and letting it burn. I figured it would simulate wax/oil being put on the nail? Any other suggestions of what to use besides my good wax? I have no reclaim. Im looking for help, not to be ridiculed.
Grape jelly works. It leaves just the carbon from the burnt sugars. But, you really don't need to season quartz, just watch your temperatures. Fresh quartz is the best quartz.
