Like most college students who live with their "not cool with pot" parents, I've always had trouble being discreet and careful enough to medicate. (Despite going from 2 hours of sleep per night to 8+, my parents have still been heavily urging me to switch to prescription pills, which I refuse) So, I've found one of the most effective methods to ensure I don't have to listen to my parents feed me bullshit studies. Where to smoke: To start, stay away from fabrics. They absorb smell, and will leave small residual smells that can build up. Outside obviously works best, but walking outside during - 3 degree winter weather at 1am is too sketchy to risk. Personally, my downstairs bathroom is perfect. Find a ceiling vent if you can, they all lead outside to prevent moisture from causing mold in other parts of the house. What to smoke: Dabs of course. How to smoke: My highest recommendation is a concentrate globe that attaches to most electronic cigarette batteries. I've been using the same one for two weeks, costs ~$30 for the setup, and it's extremely portable. Fill the globe with smoke, clear it, cover the mouthpiece with your thumb, and boom, no extra smell. Build a sploof for sure for the smoke regardless of whether you use a vent or not. It's just a toilet paper roll filled with dryer sheets with a few layers rubber banded to the end. Blowing your dab smoke through it will remove a lot of the skunk, and add a bit of "fresh linen" smell. Ceiling fan is self explanatory. Aim your sploof at the vent while it's running, the closer you are the better, and watch the evidence get sucked outside. Putting a wet towel under the door is optional, but if someone notices the fabric under the edge of the door or the lack of light coming through at the bottom, it can be a huge tipoff that you're hiding something. I hope this guide helps any incognito dabbers out there!
Good guide but you do know dab vapor is not the same as weed smoke? Dab vapor will cease to smell in about 30ish minutes as long as the air isn't stale. If your parents are sleeping you should be able to dab, blow it out the window, or just into the sploof and by morning the smell should be good and gone. I can say with certainty that an hour is more then enough time for the smell to dissipate if using sploof or blowing out a window.
I smoked in my parents house even though they were against it. I don't think i could dab in it. Thats over the line. Understand how different from a legal viewpoint that concentrates are from flower. But smell-wise dabbing itself isn't an issue. Even without a fan, dryer sheets, or towels under doors the smell shouldnt travel or linger in the same room either. The difference is smoke dispurses throuhout a room seeping through every nook and cranny, vapor settles, condenses and fades. It's like the steam in your shower versus the smoke rushing from a fireplace. The steam dosn't leave the bathroom, you see it settle in layers and condense. Smoke fills a house evenly. It dispurses and stinks. Smoking weed is danger danger, dabbing is more safe indoors. I can dab in my bedroom, sit in the living room, and come back to my room in an hour and not smell the dabs i just took. Also, some oils stink more than others and you don't know what your oil qualifies as until its on the nail. Some high quality oil stinks while others don't, some low quality oil stink and others don't. Theres no real way to know how long the smell of your specific oil will linger. And of course an hour long glob sesh leaves odors that don't just disappear like the little .05 dab before bed. Thats a good write up. If you live with your parents and theyre no-no about weed than you especially shouldnt be dabbing. But if you do you covered every spot i can think of. Only one you forgot is, be high every time they see you so they think thats you normally. thats as disrespectful as it gets though... but if your gonna do it, do it right...
