A dab mat is a protective surface used in dabbing, a method of vaporizing Concentrates. It is typically made of silicone, rubber, or other heat-resistant materials and is used to prevent damage to surfaces and to collect any spilled or dropped concentrates.

When dabbing, the concentrate is heated on a hot surface, such as a Banger Nail, and then inhaled through a water pipe or other device. A dab mat is placed underneath the hot surface to protect the surface from heat and to catch any concentrate that may accidentally spill or drip. This helps to prevent damage to furniture, counters, or other surfaces.

Dab mats can come in various sizes, shapes, and designs, and some may also have features like non-slip bottoms or raised edges to further prevent spills. Some dab mats may also have designs or graphics related to making them a popular accessory among dabbing enthusiasts.
