A high-temp dab is a concentrate vaporization performed at 600–800°F (315–427°C) banger temperatures. This is what most people did before the low-temp dabbing movement of the late 2010s. At those temperatures, terpenes mostly combust rather than vaporize, producing a harsh, smoky flavor and dense visible cloud. Cannabinoid delivery is similar to low-temp (THC vaporizes around 315°F, well within range), but the terpene-driven flavor is destroyed. High-temp dabs are still common for: BHO concentrates with low terp content (where you wouldn't lose much flavor anyway), social cloud-chasing sessions, and consumers who prioritize the throat-hit feel. For premium solventless extracts, high-temp dabbing is generally considered a waste of the rosin's flavor potential. Technique: torch the banger red-hot, drop the dab almost immediately (15–20 second cool-down), inhale fast. Often produces a significant residue puddle that requires aggressive banger cleaning.
