I've never had my own dab rig, but I've smoked from them. I usually use a dab pen these days, a Vuber. I haven't burned a cart since I got it. If you get a nice live resin cart, it feels like a baby hit on a dab rig.
But nothing beats flower in a pipe for me. I like >25% sativas, especially green crack, blue dream, and blackberry kush
