7/10 is coming up, and at Pure Blossom, that means one thing: OIL Day! We’re celebrating the holiday with two of the best ways to dabble in concentrates: infused pre-rolls and dab kits. To help guide the way, we asked our resident dabbers, Katie and Megan, what they reach for every time and some helpful tips to get you started. FYI, if you’re in the neighborhood, stop by Pure Blossom on Thursday, July 10, and get 25% off all concentrates and vapes!
Katie’s Infused Pre-Roll Kit
Infused joints are a great entry point into concentrates, especially if you are comfortable rolling your own joints. Simply adding a concentrate to your joint can enhance the experience and increase potency.
What Katie Uses
- The Flower: High Grass Farms | Weymouth Sour Berry
- A tart, uplifting sativa-leaning hybrid that offers focus and mental clarity, ideal for daytime and socializing.
- The Concentrate: Onyx | Berry Runtz Live Resin Badder
- A fruity, sweet flavored badder that complement the fruity tones in the flower without overpowering them. The hybrid effects of Berry Runtz smooth out the sharpness of the sativa high, offering a more grounded and euphoric finish. Together, they create a layered experience in my opinion.
- The Tools:
How to roll:
- Grind your flower the way you normally would for a joint.
- Set up your rolling space with a flat surface or tray, your paper, filter tip, dab tool, and concentrate.
- Add the filter tip to one end of your paper before filling. This makes the roll more structured and gives you a clear end to start from.
- Sprinkle a light base layer of flower across the paper in a long, even line that follows the width of the paper. Leave a little space near the edges for cleaner tucking.
- Warm your concentrate slightly by letting it sit near a warm surface or with your hands. You want it pliable, not runny.
- Roll the concentrate into a thin, noodle-like line and lay it gently over the flower. Try to keep it away from the edges to avoid uneven burning or dripping.
- Top with a second layer of flower to center the concentrate and ensure a smooth burn.
- Pinch the paper between your fingers and roll back and forth to shape the joint before tucking and sealing.
- Pack down lightly and top it off with with more flower, closed and enjoy!
How you’ll feel:
This combo is best for morning or midday use. The Weymouth Sour Berry lays the groundwork with an energizing, clear-headed lift. It’s great for sparking creativity, motivation or just staying sharp. Layered with Berry Runtz, it brings in a smooth, balanced finish that eases tension without slowing you down. Expect an upbeat, steady high that’s ideal for getting things done, socializing, or giving your mood a boost.

Megan’s Dab Kit
If you’ve been enjoying carts and vapes but want to level up your experience, dabbing might be your next move. It can sound intimidating, but with the right setup and a few tips, it’s easier than you think. Not sure where to start? Check out our guide to concentrates.
What Megan Uses:
- The Concentrate: SUN | Cake & Desist Live Resin Badder
- Grown by the award-winning Garden Greens team and crafted in Hamilton, this creamy, terp-heavy live resin melts down smooth and hits with a deep, calming effect without knocking you out right away. It’s full of flavor and perfect for winding down at night.
- The Tools:
- If you’re new to dabbing, we recommend starting with an e-rig or e-pen. It takes a lot of the guesswork out and makes the whole process way easier.
- “I’d go with a Puffco Peak if you want the full experience. It’s super smooth, easy to use and gives you a really nice flavor.
- But if you’re looking for something more low-key and portable, the Puffco Pivot is a great option. It’s discreet, simple to use, and still hits really well without all the setup.”
- A dab tool
How to dab:
If it’s your first time dabbing, the key is start low and slow, you don’t need a huge hit to feel the effects!
- Preheat your device to a low temp (450–500°F) to get the best flavor and a smoother experience.
- Start with a small amount. A dab the size of a grain of rice is plenty.
- Drop in the dab once the device is ready. You’ll hear a little sizzle.
- Inhale gently. Remember, concentrates hit faster and harder than flower, so let it settle before going back for more.
- When you are done, clean your device to keep flavor fresh and avoid buildup.
How you’ll feel:
Cake & Desist is ideal for nighttime use. As an indica-dominant badder, it’s known for its deeply relaxing effects that are ideal for winding down, getting cozy and prepping for sleep. Expect heavy body relaxation, a calming mental haze and an overall sense of comfort.
