What is a dablicator?
A dablicator is a precision cannabis oil applicator designed to dispense thick concentrates cleanly and accurately. Instead of scooping or dripping oil, a dablicator lets you twist and apply cannabis extract exactly where you want it.
Think of it as a controlled delivery tool for concentrates.
Why do people use dablicators instead of regular containers?
Because cannabis oil is sticky, messy, and hard to measure.
A dablicator solves that by:
Reducing mess
Improving dose control
Making concentrates easier to handle
Allowing multiple ways to consume the same product
It’s about convenience and precision, not strength.
What’s inside a dablicator? 🌿
Dablicators usually contain activated cannabis oil, such as:
Distillate
Live resin oil
Live rosin oil
The oil is already decarboxylated, meaning it’s ready to use without heating.
How does a dablicator work?
Most dablicators work using a twist or click mechanism.
How it functions:
Twist the base
Oil moves forward internally
A controlled amount is dispensed from the tip
This makes it easier to apply small, consistent amounts without waste.
How do you use a dablicator?
Dablicators are versatile. Here are the most common ways people use them.
1. Dabbing
Apply a small amount directly onto a dab tool or into a dab rig.
Why people like this method:
No sticky jars
Easy portioning
Less handling of oil
2. Adding to Flower or Pre-Rolls
You can apply oil directly onto:
Flower bowls
Joints
Pre-rolls
This is often called “infusing” and can enhance flavour and intensity.
3. Using with Vaporizers
Some dablicator oils are compatible with dab-compatible vaporizers.
Always check device compatibility first.
4. Oral Use (Where Permitted)
Because the oil is activated, some people apply a small amount:
Under the tongue
On food
This depends on product labeling and local regulations.
Is a dablicator strong?
A dablicator itself isn’t stronger. The oil inside determines potency.
However, because dablicators allow precise dosing, they often feel more controllable than scooping from a jar.
Small amount ≠ weak.
Precision matters.
