Dab sweats. Why do they happen?

I've come to find (even though I don't dab very often anymore) that dab sweats are very real. I'm just wondering what on earth could cause this? What do you guys think?
Could it be simply the method of ingestion or is it just because of the sheer amount of pure THC you're taking? I think it might have something to do with how much THC is in the smoke because it happens INSTANTLY after I dab and I don't even take large dabs or really hot ones.
I read somewhere that it's probably the coughing but this happens to me regardless if I cough or not, in fact I usually never cough when dabbing because it's so smooth so what do you guys figure? Possibly just a strange side effect that sometimes happens from so much THC at once? I'd love to hear your opinions.

definitely not the THC. Do you overheat when you're blitzed as fuck? Nah. Probably just all that smoke coming in. When I take fat bong rips of flower i sweat too.

I do not know why I think I read this. But cannabis raises melatonin several hundred percent. Melatonin is involved in body temp regulation? I usually get a chill if I eat then puff. It is also summer.

It may happen with flower too but it's most likely because of other external and even internal factors but it's usually not the weed itself. I've never had it from weed like I have with dabs and have never met anyone who has. With dabs it's completely different and feels different and happens way faster. It doesn't really happen at all on just flower.
It's not even necessarily the feeling of overheating either it's just instant perspiration. I remember just being so surprised and intrigued by how fast it actually happened I mean it's like RIGHT when I inhale usually even before I exhale. It comes on so quick which makes me think it must just be the sheer amount of THC you're taking in I mean what else would it be?

Instant blood pressure change, if you're just not experiencing that, watch out for withdrawals you will probably be questioning wtf is happening trying to quit dabbing it's not fun

I never had much of a problem quitting dabs like I did with quitting weed 
People also said that dabs would ruin my tolerance to flowers but that never happened either. They're 2 very different highs.

^^ That's ^^ the first thing that came to my mind and what I was going to post.
Pretty sure a quick onset of random perspiration can be the result of a rapid drop or increase in blood pressure (cannabis causes a drop in BP) . One of the symptoms of low BP is sweating, and taking a fat dab can cause a quick drop in one's BP (this is also why some folks faint...I've fainted from dabs twice before).
I don't really get all that sweaty from taking dabs but I know some folks do, or maybe I'm not taking big enough dabs .

If it isn't that it's the same reason some people need to take a dump occasionally after a toke - simple, sudden, and mass CNS stimulation. When I get a big rip I feel this tingly wave radiating from my chest outward to my fingertips, the top of my head, ect. It's very much a drop in the pond kind of wave, rippling out. It's sort of like pins and needles but it feels good. I like it, no one ever understands what I mean though. It used to feel weird but now it's damn near sexual.

Bong hits of flower or concentrates does the same thing to me, I think its from a large amount of hot smoke.

It's from being really, really, really, really, really high. Either smoke more dabs to build up a better tolerance, or switch back to flower.

Thanks everyone for the responses. Some insightful and even unexpected answers. I never knew a quick lowering of blood pressure could lead to the sweats.
I'll assume it's either that or just the sheer amount of THC you're taking in at once.
I don't think it's from being "really really high" at all though because dabs don't really get me that high, they just give a different high.
When I get really really high I started shaking or "shivering" kind of uncontrollably but that has nothing to do with the instant sweats or dabs at all. When I get the sweats off dabs it's instantaneous and comes way before the actual high. It happens when I don't even get very high at all.

Having recently had a blood test go wrong and had a very sudden pressure drop, I was covered in sweat. It makes sense to me, something sugary helps get it back up, or likewise some exercise beforehand will get the blood pumping.
