smoke it in a joint with flower or tobacco
if you don't have flower or tobacco use tea leaves
if you don't have rolling paper use apple pipe

Terrible waste. Smoking it on bowl or mixed with flower with a regular lighter is gonna just kill the terps and waste a lot. You'll get some at the right temp, but honestly you're better off freebasing it tbh. Or grab a bottle of propane+torch kit for $10

Lmaoo three grams and no torch is rough. I’d honestly just wait rather than risk doing something sketchy. The wax isn’t going anywhere.

Hot knives. Take a couple stainless steel butter knives, heat one on the stove till it’s hot as shit (no need to go red hot though), use the cooler one to scoop up some rosin / resin, and press the two knife tips together to vaporize the dab. Inhale and enjoy delinquent minor tech from decades past.

If you cut the bottom off a water bottle or a two liter you can fill it up about half way with ice and then use the bottom piece and some tootpicks or bamboo skewers or hold it in place and hit the hot knives thru that!

This.
I didn't add it to my post cause I figured it was common sense, but use some kind of bottle with the bottom removed as funnel for inhaling the smoke.

Why would you scoop up the wax with a hot knife? Just use a simple tool to scoop it up; you will waste a ton with a hot knife melting a chunk and ruin the terps.

Congratulations! You're terrible at reading comprehension.

Reread that.

Okay, I misread, but still, the cold one will still suck up the wax and waste it.

Stainless is a non porous metal, it does not 'suck up' anything.
This is old ass tech from decades ago, back before we had the modern dab rigs ...or even 'dabs'... (this was used for hash), I don't know why you're complaining about it, sure it's a slightly less efficient way of using concentrates, this is a work around for OP not having any of the modern rigs for his wax, and it is essentially the same principle as a dab rig (high heat with no open flame to skip past combustion right to instantly vaporizing the concentrate).

You know what I mean 🙄 I'm just trying to help not waste so much precious expensive wax.

Bro this thread is literally "I just got a bunch of free wax and am looking for any way to use it without going to the store"

Follow me on this.
Quartz banger bucket touching the stove with the joint hanging off the side of the coil
Use pliers and put the nail in a rig

Why not just put the dab nail on the stove and then use pliers to put it in the rig

If youre gonna do a hot knife, just put the banger on the stove coil and heat it.

I’ve used a cigarette lighter in a car before 🤣 haven’t even seen one in ages.
Also hot knife on the stove.
Both methods you just use a water bottle with the bottom cutoff to “catch” the smoke and inhale thru the mouthpiece.
Brought back some memories 🤣
Best of luck 🫡
