7 Dab Fails You’ll Definitely See On 7/10

Our team’s combined dabbing experience is wild—practically decades. After years of dabbing and watching countless others learn the ropes, I can predict exactly what dab fails will dominate social media this 7/10.

Trust me, I’ve been there—from scorched bangers to epic tool drops that led to some minor burns. Dabbing is no walk in the park, and these epic fails tell you exactly why.

Here’s what not to do when celebrating cannabis concentrate culture this 7/10.

Ever seen this dab fail before? I know I have. Someone loads their concentrate onto a cold banger, fires up the torch, but doesn’t heat it nearly long enough.

The result? Concentrate just bubbles and melts into a sad puddle while producing zero vapor. It’s like watching your money literally melt away. The log of failed attempts I’ve witnessed could fill a video compilation on its own, and you’d see my face a few times.

On the flip side, impatient dabbers often torch their banger until it’s glowing red hot. I cringe every time I see someone immediately drop concentrate onto that molten surface—instant combustion, zero terpenes, and the harshest hit imaginable.

This classic dab fail destroys both the flavor and your throat. Talk about harsh hits.

The fumble heard around the world. I’ve dropped my fair share of scorching hot dab tools, but dropping one loaded with expensive concentrate? That’s a special kind of heartbreak.

Watching someone’s face as their perfectly sized dab hits the floor never gets less painful—for them or their wallet.

This isn’t technically a dramatic fail, but I’ve seen so many people wonder why their dabs feel weak while completely ignoring airflow control.

Without a carb cap, you’re basically letting half your vapor escape into the atmosphere. It’s definitely possible, just incredibly inefficient.

Patience isn’t every dabber’s virtue. I’ve seen people take hits while their banger is still glowing orange, creating an instant combustion chamber instead of a vaporization surface.

The coughing fit? Awful, and don’t even get me started on the burnt concentrate taste. They’re both harsh lessons in temperature timing.

That moment when someone takes a massive dab, holds it for half a second, then explosively coughs out what might have been a perfectly good hit.

I’ve been there, questioning whether I actually inhaled anything while experiencing the dreaded dab sweats that follow these coughing fits. For more on this phenomenon, check out our guide on why you get the dab sweats.

Come on, people, this should be common knowledge. Nothing ruins a premium concentrate like a dirty rig. I’ve seen people drop top-shelf live resin into water that looks like swamp juice, then wonder why everything ends up tasting like disappointment. Clean your glass—no exception.

Remember: we’ve all been beginners, and these fails are part of the learning process. Just maybe don’t film yours for the internet to see forever.
