Dab Rig

Your position: Home / Dab Rigs

Dab rig, also known as wax rig or concentrate rig, is a type of smoking device specifically designed for vaporizing concentrates, like wax and oil. It is different from traditional water pipes or water bongs, which are primarily used for smoking dry herbs.
Dab rigs are generally smaller than traditional bongs. They typically consist of a compact base, a special type of nail (such as a quartz banger or a titanium bowl), and a narrower neck leading to a mouthpiece. When using a dab rig, the standard move is to heat the banger or nail before applying the concentrate. This ensures an even heat, preventing the concentrate from hardening or unevenly heating upon contact with a cold surface.

Here are some common questions about dab rigs:
Dabbing vs. Smoking?
Dabbing involves heating a small amount of cannabis concentrate on a hot surface (usually a nail or banger) and inhaling the vapor. Smoking involves combusting dried herbs and inhaling the smoke. Concentrates like wax, oil, shatter, budder, or crumble, are typically rich in THC or other cannabinoids resulting in a more powerful, faster-acting, and longer-lasting effect than dried herbs, like tobacco and cannabis flowers. So dabbing gets you higher than smoking.

What kind of rig is best for dabs?
The best rig for dabs is typically made of heat-resistant material like borosilicate glass, with a percolation system that helps cool and filter the vapor.

How long do I need to heat and cool the banger?
When dabbing, it typically takes 30 to 45 seconds to heat the banger to an orange or dark red color. This visual cue is crucial as it helps prevent overheating the banger, which could lead to the concentrate burning and producing harsher, lower-quality vapor. Then, wait 15 to 30 seconds to let the banger cool down to the right temperature.

Remember to note the waiting time from your last session and adjust accordingly to find the "sweet spot" perfect for your banger. If the concentrate starts to pool when inhaling, the banger has cooled too much—next time, reduce the wait. If the concentrate tastes burnt, you didn't wait long enough.

Can I smoke dabs in a bowl with flowers?
Yes, some people mix cannabis concentrates with flowers in a bowl for a different experience
