The butane evaporates leaving a sticky liquid known as \u201cwax\u201d or \u201cdab.\u201d\u00a0This method is dangerous because butane is a very explosive substance.

The user takes a small amount of marijuana concentrate, referred to as a \u201cdab,\u201d then heats the substance using the e-cigarette\/vaporizer producing vapors that ensures an instant \u201chigh\u201d effect upon the user.
