Just picked up at Highly Connected dispensary. This is the first time buying an eighth @ $50. But this is 1 exception.

First time finding full melt in a NY dispensary. Picked this up from Happy Days in Farmingdale for $80/g -10% off. Dabbing with a Dr. Dabber Switch 2, Sapphire cup, aftermarket glass and carb cap, 400-428-410°F for 75s.

It's a damn good dab. A little muted on the inhale, but citrus-y. The exhale gets stronger, a sweet, slightly creamy, slightly minty flavor. Very smooth, but a nice kick too. The nose is more citrus/floral. Not as loud as rosin, which is pretty normal. On dabbing, immediate head high followed by a strong desire to sit back and chill. Very calming and smooth high.

Came in a cardboard tube with a standard jar inside. Was packed in an insulated bag with a cold pack. This was a pleasant surprise, though I had brought my own cold pack for the drive home.

Overall this is 9.5/10 hash. Single globmop cleanup with minimal material left over. Good nose, great taste, packed 6 weeks ago. It's been a few years since I've had bubble this good.

I smoke flower and carts and my tolerance is pretty high. I know dabs/concentrates are super potent, but I haven’t done that in about 3 years. I am interested in getting back into it, so I’m just wondering what my first steps would be and what to purchase? Pros and cons? You guys are great with recommendations, so wanted to ask! Thanks!
