In the vibrant and ever-evolving world of cannabis culture, language has its unique way of weaving a tapestry of slang terms and hidden meanings. Among these intriguing codes, 710 stands out as a symbol of celebration and appreciation. To the uninitiated, the number might appear perplexing, but to cannabis enthusiasts, it represents a cherished day dedicated to the exploration and enjoyment of cannabis concentrates. In this blog, we delve into the origins and significance of 710 in the cannabis community, uncovering the hidden story behind this numerical code and shedding light on its rich celebration in today's times.
Why Does Cannabis Celebrate 710?
710 Day, celebrated on July 10th each year, is a special occasion within the cannabis community that specifically celebrates cannabis concentrates and the culture surrounding them. This day is dedicated to the appreciation, exploration, and enjoyment of concentrated cannabis products such as oils, waxes, shatters, and other extracts. Cannabis enthusiasts come together on 710 Day to showcase and indulge in a wide variety of concentrates, share knowledge and experiences, and celebrate the advancements and creativity within the world of cannabis extracts.
It serves as a platform to highlight the growing popularity and significance of concentrated cannabis products, allowing individuals to connect and engage in activities that revolve around their shared passion for cannabis concentrates. 710 Day provides an opportunity for enthusiasts to come together, celebrate their love for concentrates, and further promote the diverse and evolving cannabis culture.
What Are Cannabis Concentrates?
Before we dive into the lore of 710, let's first cover what cannabis concentrates are. Unlike the fresh flower used in our stelo™ products, cannabis oil extracts, often referred to as concentrates, are highly potent products derived from the cannabis plant. These extracts are made by using various methods to separate and isolate the desirable compounds found in the plant, such as cannabinoids like THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol), as well as flavorful terpenes.
Cannabis oil extracts come in different forms, including oils, waxes, shatters, budders, and resins, each with its own consistency and texture. These concentrates can contain significantly higher concentrations of cannabinoids than traditional cannabis flower, offering a more potent and efficient means of consumption.
Cannabis oil extracts are typically consumed through vaporization, dabbing, or adding them to edibles, topicals, or tinctures. They provide users with a way to experience more intense effects and explore different flavor profiles, catering to those seeking a more concentrated and controlled cannabis experience.
The Origin of 710
The exact origin of the term 710 in the context of cannabis is somewhat debated and lacks a definitive source. However, there are a few theories about its beginnings within the cannabis community.
One theory suggests that the term emerged from the cannabis concentrate scene in the United States around the early 2010s. During this time, as the popularity of cannabis extracts and concentrates grew, enthusiasts and producers sought a unique way to celebrate and identify themselves. The number 710 was chosen as a nod to the cannabis community's affinity for wordplay and symbolism. When flipped upside down, the numbers form the word "OIL," which cleverly represents the focus on concentrated cannabis products.
Another theory proposes that the origin of 710 can be traced back to a typo made on an online cannabis forum. It is speculated that a user accidentally referred to cannabis oil as 710 instead of "710." The mistake gained attention, and the cannabis community embraced the term, adopting it as a playful code for cannabis concentrates.
While the exact origin remains somewhat elusive, the popularity and acceptance of 710 within the cannabis community have solidified its significance as a symbol for cannabis concentrates and the culture surrounding them. Today, 710 is recognized as a distinctive term representing the celebration, appreciation, and enjoyment of cannabis extracts.
710 Celebrations
Just as 420 has become a well-known day for cannabis enthusiasts, the celebration of 710 has gained popularity in recent years. On July 10th (7/10), cannabis enthusiasts come together to commemorate the growing trend of cannabis concentrates and their consumption. Here are a few ways in which 710 is celebrated:
Concentrate Parties and Events
In many cities where cannabis is legal, 710 celebrations often feature parties and events dedicated to showcasing and enjoying various cannabis concentrates. These events provide a platform for concentrate enthusiasts to come together, exchange knowledge, and try new products.
Dabbing Rituals
Dabbing, the preferred method of consuming cannabis concentrates, takes center stage during 710 celebrations. Dabbing involves using a heated surface, typically a "nail" made of quartz, titanium, or ceramic, to vaporize the concentrate. Enthusiasts gather to share their favorite concentrates and demonstrate their dabbing skills.
Sales and Discounts
Just like on 420, many dispensaries and online retailers offer special deals and discounts on 710-related products. This encourages enthusiasts to stock up on their favorite concentrates or try new ones, making the celebration more accessible and enjoyable for a broader range of cannabis consumers.
Online Communities and Social Media
The internet and social media have played a significant role in spreading the word about 710 celebrations. Online communities, forums, and cannabis-related social media accounts often organize giveaways, contests, and discussions, creating a sense of camaraderie and excitement among cannabis enthusiasts worldwide.
In conclusion, the significance of 710 in the cannabis community goes beyond mere numbers and embraces a vibrant culture of cannabis concentrates. What started as a clever play on words has evolved into a celebrated day dedicated to appreciating and exploring the world of cannabis extracts. On 710 Day, enthusiasts come together to share their knowledge, showcase their favorite concentrates, and partake in the various consumption methods that concentrate culture has to offer.
The growing popularity of cannabis concentrates and the continued celebration of 710 serve as a testament to the innovation and passion within the cannabis community.

Convenient Consumption: Concentrates and E1011 Labs
Using Concentrates with the iven® Dry Herb Vaporizer
While 710 Day primarily celebrates cannabis concentrates, it's worth noting that modern dry herb vaporizers like the iven® offer versatility that bridges the gap between traditional flower consumption and concentrate use. The iven dry herb vaporizer, known for its precision temperature control and convection heating, can also be used to vaporize concentrates when used correctly.
Mastering the "Sandwich" Method
For those looking to explore concentrates with their iven device, the key lies in the "sandwich" method. This technique involves layering your materials in the heating chamber:
- Start with a base layer of dry herb
- Add a small amount of concentrate
- Top with another layer of dry herb
This careful construction ensures that the concentrate is evenly vaporized between the layers of dry flower, resulting in a flavorful and efficient vapor production. The dry herb acts as a buffer, preventing the concentrate from directly contacting the heating element and ensuring a clean, even vaporization.
Temperature Considerations
When using concentrates in the iven, it's recommended to use the higher temperature settings. The blue setting (410°F / 210°C) or the red setting (440°F / 226.6°C) are ideal for this purpose. These higher temperatures are better suited to vaporizing the thicker consistency of concentrates effectively. However, always check the packaging of your concentrates for any manufacturer-recommended temperature settings to ensure the best experience.
Important Precautions
When employing the sandwich method with concentrates, it's crucial to keep your iven device upright during use. This precaution prevents any potential leakage of the concentrate beyond the screen, which could potentially harm the device's battery or cause other operational issues.
By following these techniques and maintaining proper device positioning, iven users can unlock a whole new world of vaping possibilities. This versatility allows enthusiasts to participate in 710 celebrations with their dry herb vaporizer, bridging the gap between traditional flower consumption and the concentrated world of dabs and oils.
The ability to use both dry herbs and concentrates in the iven vaporizer showcases how modern vaping technology is evolving to meet the diverse needs of cannabis enthusiasts. Whether you're celebrating 710 or just looking to explore new vaping experiences, the iven offers a flexible platform for enjoying both flowers and concentrates in a controlled, efficient manner.
The Elon® Heat-Not-Burn Device
There are many advantages to consuming concentrates that mirror the advantages of using the elon® and stelo flower pods.
Portability
Cannabis concentrates are highly portable, making them a convenient option for users on the move. Whether it's a discreet vape pen or a compact dab rig, concentrates offer a compact and easily transportable method of consumption. They can be conveniently carried in a pocket, bag, or purse, allowing for discreet and convenient use wherever you go.
Like a vape pen or compact rig, the elon device is conveniently travel-sized and designed to be thrown in a pocket or purse to be taken wherever the day takes you. The device’s charge even lasts several sessions so you are able to use your device multiple times while out and about.
Quick Onset of Effects
Concentrates are known for their rapid onset of effects. When vaporized or dabbed, the cannabinoids are quickly absorbed into the bloodstream, resulting in almost instant effects. The heat-not-burn technology used in the elon device gives off a similar vapor to that of dabbed concentrate, while using a much lower heat. Instead of blasting our flower with extreme heat, our device uses the optimal temperature to quickly heat flower to the point of creating an inhalable vapor that, like concentrates, will be absorbed into the bloodstream almost instantly.
Precise Dosage
Concentrates allow for precise dosing, giving users better control over their cannabis experience. Whether using a vape pen with adjustable temperature settings or measuring the exact amount for dabbing, concentrates provide a more accurate way to consume cannabis. This precision ensures that users can tailor their dosage to their desired level, making it a convenient option for those who prefer a more customized experience.
Here at E1011 Labs we have created our flower pods to contain just the right amount of flower needed for a session and to experience the full effects. Along with our stelo being predosed, they also come prefilled to create a convenient plug and play system for users. Simply insert the stelo into the top of the device, wait for it to heat up, and you’re ready to go!
Cannabis consumers looking to have a convenient consumption method for more than just concentrates can order our Starter Bundle to save while exploring the future of consumption with E1011 Labs.
