Happy 7/10 from the entire WaxNax family!
Today, we celebrate more than just a clever numerical nod to cannabis concentrates — we honor a movement, a medicine, and a culture that’s been forged through innovation, passion, and purpose.
Whether you’re cracking open a fresh jar of rosin, dropping in a clean insert, or firing up your rig for a cold-start sesh, this one’s for you.
What Is 7/10 and Why Does It Matter?
7/10 or “OIL Day” — is the concentrate community’s answer to 4/20. Flip the numbers upside-down and you get “710,” which resembles the word “OIL,” a term long used to refer to potent cannabis extracts. These include wax, shatter, crumble, rosin, live resin, and more — each delivering a powerful and flavorful experience.
Though 7/10 is still a relatively new holiday, its roots trace back to the early 2010s, when cannabis culture began to splinter into niches: flower lovers, edible explorers, and extract connoisseurs. The rise of BHO (butane hash oil) played a key role in the celebration’s formation, ushering in a new age of high-potency consumption.
Over the last decade, 7/10 has grown from an underground gathering to a recognized holiday in dispensaries, festivals, and social circles around the world. It’s a day to celebrate how far dabbing has come — and how much further it’s going to go.
Here’s a solid historical breakdown from Leafly to dive deeper.
From Countertop to Culture
Dabbing didn’t begin in labs or luxury rigs — it started in garages, on stovetops, and in underground scenes. Early concentrate fans used hot knives heated on electric burners, sandwiching hash between two red-hot blades and inhaling the vapor through funnels, bottles, or makeshift tubes.
That era was gritty, inventive, and full of risks — not only because of makeshift gear, but also because of the crude extraction methods that often left behind impurities and solvents. But it set the stage for what was to come.
Key Moments in Dab History:
• Early 2000s: Butane hash oil (BHO) gains popularity through online forums like ICMag and TokeCity.
• 2010s: Quartz bangers, carb caps, and reclaim catchers begin appearing. Dispensaries start stocking high-quality concentrates.
• 2015+: Cold-start dabs become a thing, terp slurpers emerge, rosin technology booms, and e-nails gain traction.
• Today: We see regulated, lab-tested concentrates with incredible terpene profiles, delivered in refined formats that respect both the plant and the patient.

It’s More Than Just Potency
Dabbing has always carried a reputation for being “for the heavy hitters.” But that perception is quickly changing. As tech has improved and extract quality has soared, dabbing is increasingly recognized for its therapeutic benefits, efficiency, and precision.
For many medical patients, dabbing is not about chasing a high — it’s about finding relief. Concentrates allow for:
• Faster onset of relief
• Lower combustion byproducts
• Targeted terpene/compound profiles
• Greater control over dosage (when done right)
This evolution aligns perfectly with our mission at WaxNax.
Redefining the Dabbing Experience
At WaxNax, we’re not just riding the wave — we’re trying to help shape it. We believe dabbing should be clean, controlled, and accessible. That’s why our insert system was designed to:
• Eliminate sticky messes
• Preserve flavor and potency
• Provide precise, consistent doses
• Fit into the rigs and workflows users already love
We’re here to help normalize cannabis as medicine by making dabbing less intimidating and more approachable — whether you’re a seasoned terp chaser or a first-time patient exploring concentrates for the first time.
Sustainability matters too. Our inserts reduce waste while elevating the experience — something we take pride in as stewards of the cannabis community.
Celebrating 7/10: Our Way
This 7/10, we encourage you to celebrate responsibly and intentionally:
• Try a new concentrate or strain that’s rich in your favorite terpenes
• Educate someone in your life about the benefits of concentrates
• Support local, ethical extractors and brands
• Reflect on how far this plant, and this community has come

Oil Is the Future
As the cannabis world continues to mature, dabbing is no longer a fringe activity — it’s a respected, rapidly advancing part of the industry. From therapeutic relief to flavor chasing, concentrates offer something for everyone.
And at WaxNax, we’re honored to be helping guide the future — one clean insert at a time.
Happy 7/10 to all our fans, patients, extract artists, budtenders, and canna-curious friends. Thanks for being part of the evolution!
Until next time.. Happy dabbing everyone!
