From a quick search they are being used to smoke medical grade butane hash that is called dab. From what I can tell the hash is super heated and the smoke is filtered several times through water. Seems like a lot of work frankly, even if that is your thing.
A youtube video called " Do You Dab (DYD) Titanium Nail Review " shows the nail in use but I wont link directly because of the subject matter.

"Explosion and fire incidents related to manufacturing attempts in homes have been reported. Associated Press reports that such incidents in United States have primarily been in west coast states that permit medical marijuana".- Wikipedia entry for making the stuff.
It also cautions that only high grade solvents should be used to avoid negative health effects. I think the people doing this are not too concerned with their health. Could be wrong though....

That seller "Green Buddah" sells some mighty odd items, most of which I suspect are drug paraphernalia.

I have never understood the attraction of MJ. Taking a few leaves and rolling them up in a Rizla paper, that I can sort of get my head around. Full scale industrial chemistry with all its attendant risks strikes me as insane just to perfect the a new high. That being said I suppose my eternal quest for the ultimate Condor moment could be viewed in a similar fashion.

Dabbing is a relatively new phenomenon amongst cannabis users. The idea is to receive as much THC as possible while minimizing the negative effects of smoke inhalation. THC from a dab is 90% plus, compared to roughly 20% for burning the flowers themselves. While the vast majority of "dabbers" are using cannabis for recreational purposes, you'd be surprised by the number of folks who use them to battle a variety of very real health issues- from insomnia and migraines, to epilepsy and even some types of cancer.

They are used in industrial ceramic & glass applications. I've seen them used in ceramic lined industrial furnaces. They are used because they are removable, adjustable & parts replaceable in high heat applications.

PM me and I'll send you an article or two about how dangerous the clandestine labs are.
So what you're saying is we should legalize it to ensure the labs are operating with standardized safety protocols?
