Am I doing this right?

I'm very new to dabbing. I bought the rig with glass & ti nail for $35 I don't know if I'm doing this right lol...
I light up the nail for about 20 seconds or so with my blazer big shot torch (about half the size of the biggest flame possible) until it gets red hot then I wait approximately 10-15 seconds or so & put the oil onto the nail with my tool. But I've noticed that there looks like some leftover oil in the water in my rig. Am I wasting that? I've taken about 5-10 dabs since I got it yesterday.

Dabs are just crack rocks for weed heads. Get out now while you still can

That leftover stuff is called reclaim
And yeah man concentrated marijuanas can be very lethal I'd suggest you tread with caution

Haha. Honestly man, I'm not really "impressed" by it at all. This is most likely the last time I buy oil but I still want to get the most out of what I have. I'd rather just smoke nugs.

Yeah there's no point in getting your tolerance through the roof and all that

Dabs aren't better or worse in my opinion, they're just different. When I go through a concentrates phase my tolerance doesn't rise any higher than normal unless I have more than normal.
Just because it's potent doesn't mean you have to explode your head with giant amounts of it on a constant basis. The optimal way is to have flower and concentrates at the same time, so you can have a more interesting spectrum of cannibinoids.
OP as you put more concentrates through that rig, some will build up on the sides. It's worth dabbing if you're out, tastes fine and does the job nicely.

To me taking a nice dab tastes about a thousand times better than smoked flower
I do enjoy both though

Is the buildup because I am not getting the nail hot enough? I don't want to waste the oil. Shit is pretty expensive.

Eh I'm really just talking shit. I've probably done like 5 dabs in my lifetime and every single time they've left me way too high to function

Just watch videos on YouTube of people taking dabs that'll help you figure out the technique
There's always gonna be some reclaim left over even when you do it right

I'd everclear that stuff in your rig and let it evaporate than scrape up. It's decarbed so you can smoke/eat it and get stoned OP!

Looks like you didn't season your nail.

I LOVE wax and oils. But I still also keep top quality bud around too (vaping bud now). I agree with propensity. I consume a lot of dabs and have used a lot different setups.
OP, I absolutely hate those style of glass nails. And cheap titanium tastes bad, like burnt metal. So OP, I wouldn't enjoy my wax out of that setup either (assuming the titanium is low grade). I have spent more than my share of money to find the right setup.
Currently, my favorite rig is the Nectar Collector. It's a dab straw, but a rig will do just fine if you don't want to spend a lot. I think I would get a quartz banger nail and a carb cap. For me, lower temp dabs are key to getting the best flavor, but the carb cap ensure I get a nice thick milky hit every time.
OP, there is an art and science to vaporizing bud and dabs. I don't smoke anything anymore. I vaporize everything that I inhale, buds and concentrates.

That doesnt look like reclaim, but actual wax that got down there. Be sure to just dab around the circle in the domeless nail, and some people like to torch it hard and dip it in water when they first get the nails because of vapors off the metal or whatever.

Now its time to get some Deems or tar and really rip that nail.

Shit... I guess I'm not heating the nail hot enough. I put it right on the top of the nail. I seasoned the titanium nail but not the glass nail. This is a cheap rig. I bought it for $35.

Get it red hot, wait a couple seconds and dab. A girl I used to hang wiht is all about the low temp dabs. Depending on what you are vaping and your preference adjust accordingly.
