This Wednesday (July 10), cannabis lovers, especially those who dab, will join in a celebration of dubious origin but no less than 420. 710 Daywhich we will try to explain below, focuses on the methods of administering cannabis by dabbing, hash oil, concentrates and the devices that make it possible.
According to an article published by The Leaf Online, 710 Day was created to celebrate the use of tampons, oils and concentrates. Heavily credited as a rapper, cannabis activist and industry innovator, Taskrok.
More than The Leaf Online:
“The 710 (at least the 710 buzz that has grown today) started on TinyChat with me, Healthstone, and the Beehive guys. They suggested we do a new time to dab as they no longer resonated with the 420. I was the one who suggested the 710 because it clicked in my head that it said oil backwards.” Task continued in the comments to clarify his views on the ownership issue, “I don't want to try to own it. It now belongs to the community.”
The article goes much deeper and is worth reading if you're wondering how the 710 Movement became powerful enough to inspire a brand new, cannabis-focused holiday.
My own experiences with tampons have also been a journey. The latecomer Rico Valderrama, better known in the cannabis industry as the Phone Homie, was the first person to teach me about this practice. Essentially, dabbing is vaporizing small amounts of cannabis oil, resin, or concentrates using what's known as a dab rig — a device that uses a heated nail to vaporize whatever the product is used to create a powerful hit when inhaled. anything you can find in smoking flower.
Dabbing can also be applied to atomizer pens that can either hold a screw-in pre-filled oil cartridge or load in your preferred concentrate, which goes by many names such as crack, wax, bud, etc.
Phone Homie was more than just an activist and brand builder. It also educated beginners like me on the effectiveness of dabbing, the fact that it was less wasteful and the feeling experienced was, in a word, cleaner. I'll be the first to admit that dabbing is a lot easier thanks to various e-rigs, basically updated versions of the old standard dab rigs.
Below, you'll see many brands we've featured in our previous 420 guides along with products and suggestions for those looking to join in the celebration. As always, consume cannabis as responsibly as you can and be sure to keep away from people under the age in your respective states.
Happy 710 Day everyone!

All-in-one vapes, sometimes stylized as AIOs, are pretty self-explanatory. These types of vaporizers usually come pre-charged and the oil is inside the device for, as you are beginning to understand, an all-in-one experience. I haven't tried the Connected brand but I hear good things. Only available in Arizona, California and Florida.

4. Cookies Dual Chamber Vapes

I visited my first Cookies location in July when I visited San Diego for work and it was like a wonderland in there. Seriously, I wish all cannabis stores had this level of customer service. Anyway, enough gushing. The brand founded by rapper and entrepreneur Berner has a new vaping device that aims to deliver synergies and effects unlike anything you've ever experienced through Dual Chamber Vapes. I need to get my hands on one of these bad boys soon. Also, I should mention that they also offer these vapors in THCA, so that means more access to the fine products that make the cookies for those outside of their local markets, but check your state laws for shipping.

G Pen is the first brand that introduced me to the portable world of on-the-go dabbing through its Micro pen, which sported the Cookies logo. The two entities clicked again to deliver the enhanced Micro+, a more robust and compact version of the device. As I like to dab without a lot of fuss, this is one of my favorite ways to charge up my day or relax.
Just a heads up: G Pen is offering a 710 Flash Sale with 33% off all concentrate products. Just use code 710 at checkout.

When I first got into my search for a premium dry herb vaporizer, I entered the world of dual-use vaporizers like the Davinci IQC Vaporizer. Not only can you use it for flowers, but it also handles concentrates, making it a smart buy for those looking for a sleek, compact device to deliver their medicine.

Eyce is a brand that is new to me and I learn that they are into durable smoking pipes due to the tendency of some of us to have butter. Their OraFlex design is a combination of the brand's signature silicon pieces with all the advantages of using a glass platform. Eyce also boasts that the OraFlex is easier to clean thanks to its removable mouthpiece.

As I noted above, I didn't get into dabbing until very recently in my cannabis journey and the G Pen Hyer®️ freaked me out at first. I had no idea what I was doing. I'm happy to let readers know that I LOVE the G Pen Hyer®️ because it takes all the work out of my hands and looks cool too. This electronic rig pairs with any piece of water glass-to-glass and offers optimal taste, heat and control. I don't use it as often as I'd like, but when I'm hanging out with friends, it's always a good time. The G Pen, as mentioned above, is offering a 710 flash sale, so you can grab the G Pen Hyer®️ at 33 percent off using the code 710.

The The Modül is one of the most impressive e-rigs I've come across and pairs well with the Stündenglass product line. The Modül DOk bundle allows for the use of both dry herbs and concentrate, offering customizable temperatures and portability, especially if you're in a group setting and want to take it for a 710-day session.

10. The heritage of nature

Nature's Heritage first caught my eye with their flower pre-rolls that are infused with bubble hash. However, they also have a number of concentrates that promise the same powerful results. I can vouch for the flower, but I will check the concentrates at 710 Day personally.

Puffco makes my favorite rig, the Peak Pro, and I can sing its praises all day long if given the chance to do so on the runway. However, I want to highlight the Proxy, a versatile and powerful vaporizer that combines with Puffco's huge range of accessories. The brand has a new Proxy and Ripple Glass bundle that combines the chamber with a beautiful piece of glass that, like the Peak Pro, is designed for the cannabis cryptos coming this week.

12. Vessel Vista Edge

I live in the 'burbs, so on my daily morning walks, I like to carry my handy sativa vape pen to get me started and it pairs well with whatever super strong coffee I'm about to brew. Vessel makes luxury products for concentrates and dry herbs, and my everyday vape battery is the brand's rich Compass Rise. I do like the Vista Edge though, especially the fact that you can charge it standing up via the Base charger.
The boat is on sale for 710 right now, so if I were you, I'd run over there before it's gone.
