How To Get Dabs Out Of Glass Jar
So you’ve just opened up a brand new jar of your favorite dabs and discovered it’s stuck. Now what? Don’t panic, we’re here to help. Dabbing is a fairly new phenomenon, but it has rapidly gained popularity because it’s so effective at getting users high quickly and conveniently.
Even if you haven’t dabbled in dabbing before, you might have heard someone talk about needing “something small to use as a hammer.” That something is called an e-nail or e-nail kit—it heats up to the perfect temperature for dabbing without ever needing to light any kindling or risk a house fire. But how do you get dabs out of glass jar? Let us explain…
What is a Dab Jar?
Dabs are a potent form of cannabis concentrate, usually made by extracting cannabinoids from the plant with carbon dioxide (CO2) and then evaporating the solvent to leave a potent, sticky substance that can be consumed in many different ways. Most commonly, people use a small nail or “dab tool” to extract the substance and then apply it to their tongue or “dab” their finger to get a quick high. The most common form of cannabis concentrate is BHO, which stands for butane hash oil. Dab jars are the containers in which BHO is packaged. The jars are usually made of glass, but some companies will use a plastic container. If you’ve ever wondered how to get dabs out of glass jar, you know exactly what we’re talking about. Basically, when you remove the top of the jar, you can see how much BHO is left inside.
Step 1: Find the right tool
You might be tempted to use a spoon or something similar to pry open the jar. Don’t do it. The glass will probably break and you’ll end up with a sticky mess on your hands or whatever you were trying to use as a tool. Instead, find a small tool designed for this purpose. If you’re looking for a cheap and easy solution, try a key ring with a split ring on one end and a small metal clip on the other. Or you could use a small spoon made of plastic. If you have a little bit more money to spend, there are some great options on the market. Check out these jar openers:
The Dab Ninja Jar Jar – This jar opener is a simple silicone band with a metal ball on the end. It can be used on any size jar. Although the jar opener is fairly small, it’s really durable.
The Dab Scew – The Dab Scew has a thick metal screw thread on one end and a soft silicone covering on the other. You can use the silicone side to unscrew the jar while the metal end grabs onto the lid. The silicone will help you unscrew the lid without breaking the jar.
The Dab Wrench – The Dab Wrench is a small wrench with a comfortable foam handle. The wrench has a metal end that can be used to unscrew the lid. The foam handle ensures you won’t accidentally drop the wrench inside your jar.
The Dab Nail – The Dab Nail is a small metal tool that looks a lot like a screwdriver. One end of the nail is a flat head and the other has a small lip. This tool can be used to pry the lid off your jar and then used to scoop out the dabs.
Step 2: Heat your enail up to 750 degrees Fahrenheit
If you’re using an e-nail, turn it on and set the temperature to 750 degrees Fahrenheit. If you don’t have an e-nail and are using a torch, use a metal spoon to hold the flame above the dab nail for several seconds. Be careful to not hold the flame too close to the dab nail or you’ll burn the dab off. If you don’t have a metal spoon, use a metal object to hold the flame above the nail for a few seconds. Just make sure it’s not something like a fork that could fall into the nail and cause an electrical short.
Step 3: Hit the dab nail while it’s still hot
As soon as the nail is hot enough, use your tool (whether it’s a silicone “dab scew” or a key ring “dab ninja jar jar”) to scrape off the BHO and put it into your dab rig. If you wait too long or are too tentative, the BHO will become too cold and sticky to scrape off the nail. The best way to know when to scrape the nail is to watch the temperature of the nail. If it starts to drop below 750 F, you need to start over again and heat the nail back up to the right temperature.
Dabs are Stuck in Glass Jars. Now What?
First, don’t worry: If you’ve followed the instructions above, it’s highly unlikely that the glass jar will break open and leave you with a sticky mess. Here are a few more tips to help you scrape off the BHO in a glass jar.
- Temper Your Jar – If your BHO is too cold and sticky to scrape off the nail, try placing the jar in a warm water bath for a few minutes to warm it up. Be careful not to put it in the microwave or a hot water bath; you don’t want to risk damaging the jar.
- Use a Spoon – If your BHO is too cold and sticky to scrape off the nail, try using a spoon to scrape it out of the jar.
- Jar Lifter – You can also use a jar lifter to open and close the jar. Just make sure the lifter doesn’t fall into the jar.
- Top With Something – If your BHO is too cold and sticky to scrape off the nail, try placing something on top of the jar to keep it from sealing shut. A kitchen towel, coffee filter or even a paper towel will do the trick.

Dabs are stuck in glass jars because they’re too cold and sticky to scrape off the nail. Luckily, there are plenty of ways to warm up the BHO and scrape it off. Just remember to turn on your enail, heat the dab nail and scrape the BHO off while it’s still hot.
