What dates will you be in Amsterdam?
I'll post you on the Whos In Town page.
You can see who else may be in town and any Toke & Talks that are planned.

1e Hulp has all you need to dab.

I'm interested in this topic too!

Returning in early March with my mate. We've never tried dabbing before and it is top of our bucket-list for this trip.

Any advice oh wise forum dab-heads? :)

Which is best place in the Dam to dab? Bushdoctors or 1e hulp? Any other shops with Dab rig?

We're staying round the corner from Bushdoctor, but having checked out menus their gear seems a bit on the pricey side compared to 1e Hulp. Also I've heard rumors that the Bushdoctors wax isn't the cleanest. Any truth in this?

Cheers

I have no experience dabbing in Amsterdam as the price puts me right off, but from what I've read 1e hulp is likely to be your best shot. Grey area have a rig, but you might struggle to find space to use it comfortably.
I do, however, have my own dab rig and make my own extract when possible. My advice would be to start with a tiny amount as if you have good oil/wax/shatter it will blow your head off if you over do it. I find it to be a very strong clear long lasting high, and although I've not had any of amsterdams wares, judging by the price and claims made by some coffeeshops , it should be a lot stronger than mine, in which case overdoing it would be very easy for a first timer.

Thanks for the tips mate. Not a huge fan of grey area, 1ehulp it is then!

Going from their menu they have shatter, butter and BHO .. from what I've read here and elsewhere, shatter seems to be the best of the 3 types?

You have been posted on the March Whos In Town page.

You can see who else may be in town during your stay.

If you don't see yourself, click your refresh or reload button
Your browser sometimes loads pages from your local cache and
you don't get the latest update.

Watch for Toke & Talks, I post them up to the last minute.

Set yourself up with your own T&T or Toke and Talk, where you pick the coffeeshop (your favorite)
and the date and time, I will post it and you wait for folks to show up, if they do you'll have a
T&T. If they don't you still get to enjoy your favorite coffeeshop!

Theres not very much on dabbing on here so i decided to make an account just to post what i know. The grey area has a dabbing rig so does the bush doctor but you have to buy the wax/bho from them and it costs a small fortune there. The greenplace sells Shoreline wax i would go for that as its cheaper than most grams and i found it to be really strong. I think it costs around 80 euros a gram.

Bho is the raw extract and butter is bho that has been vacuum purged and whipped. Obviously each coffeeshop can interpret it in their own way. By that I mean you'll never know 100% what process it has been through. In my opinion, shatter is higher quality bho, for example if you use whole buds and only do 1 'rinse' the end extract tends to b more like shatter. This is only my opinion and others may disagree.

I would personally start with a bit of the cheapest and see how you get on.

Most shops don't offer wax, so your choices are limited.
A few have been named, perhaps there are a few more but keep it quiet... beside the point...
I recommend visiting 1e Hulp... The shop is in a decent location; always clean; three levels; pool table; the prices are somewhat better than other shops; and the staff has always been respectful, kind, and courteous... at least to me and from my observations, others as well.

First time dabbing, I would recommend that you go easy. Don't have anything to smoke before hand, be straight. Also have something to eat, not to mention stay hydrated. You don't want to experience a Whitey (overloading of the system).
Do a dab, sit back, and relax for a bit... now then, repeat.. :lol:

Happy Dabbing...
... :mrgreen:

just jump right on in im sure the budtender will help you out. 1e hulp also had a few pens vapes which is ideal for concentrates the butter was good the shatter was awesome the budtender told me the BHO was crap during the cup but that was then. most places selling over priced goodies will do half grams even quarter grams if you ask nicely. if you got the money id get some from 1e hulp and bushdoctor (your in amsterdam)
