Medium temp dabbing is a nice middle of the road option, and can be done between, you guessed it, 300-400 degrees Fahrenheit. Low temp dabbing is the inverse- that’s done lower than 300 degrees F, and savors more flavor at the expense of potency. This will maximize the potency of the dab, but you will sacrifice flavor. High temp dabbing is done above 400 degrees Fahrenheit. High temp dabbing, medium temp dabbing, and low temp dabbing will get you a different dabbing experience, and it really depends on what you’re looking for. As I mentioned, heating a nail manually with a butane torch requires a certain element of guesswork and experience. This is another thing that comes down to both personal preference and practice.
One of the biggest advantages of an e-rig is that instead of having to guess how hot you’ve heated your nail, you can simply dial in a specific temperature down to quite literally the nth degree. All you have to do is load it up and suck it out. This means it’s great for traveling and storing.Įlectronic/electric dab rigs are basically robots that dab for you.
A silicone rig is great because it’s pretty much impervious to impact damage, and it is also malleable. It’s an incredible engineering marvel that deftly strikes a delicate tango between filtering and cooling the vapor, and ensuring the hit doesn’t become stale and flat.ĭon’t think that glass is the only option you have for a quality rig. The second chamber, usually at the bottom of the neck, is positioned such that the bubbles of vapor pop as close to your mouth as possible. The vapor and water moves through the rig in a circle, filtering it infinitely. It basically loops the vapor through two separate chambers continuously.

A recycler, pictured here, is kind of like the little loop-de-loop waterslide that cracked your head open in 5th grade. If you see the word “recycler” when researching rigs, get all up in there. What are the different types of dab rigs? Typically, though, a middle of the road dab rig is within the range of $50-100. You could find a decent rig like this one for as little as $30-40, or you could get this electroformed heady piece for $3,000. Well, my friend, dab rigs cost as much as you want to spend. Quartz - these provide pristine flavor, but they also take longer to heat, cool off quickly, and are fragile. If you use a ceramic nail, heat it evenly and never to the point of glowing red hot. Titanium - these heat quickly, are extremely durable, and retain heat longer- but can leave dabs with a metallic taste.Ĭeramic - these eliminate the metallic taste issue for pure and clean dabs, with the main downside being that they are much more fragile. The biggest differentiating factor between nails is the material out of which they are made. All bangers are nails, but not all nails are bangers. A “banger” is a subtype of nail that kind of looks like a little cup. A “nail” is the general term for the dab equivalent of a bowl. What is a banger?Ī banger for a dab rig is a type of nail. Who says dab rigs are for illicit substances? We never said what a dab is a concentrated form of. The constitution stipulates that we are innocent until proven guilty. This is why, despite however much the vapor is filtered, it usually emerges from the water as close as it possibly can to your mouth. You want the dab vapor to be filtered and cool, but you don’t want it to get stale and flat. You are dealing with a more complex palette of terpenes and flavors that should be preserved to their fullest integrity. That’s because the vapor from a dab is much more delicate than the smoke from dry herb. This is why there’s no such thing as a bong that’s too big or too complex. With a bong, the more diffusion the better- so you want lots of percs, lots of room for the smoke to circulate, and as much distance as possible between the smoke and your mouth. Rigs and bongs are designed to make the most of the respective substances for which they are intended. That would not be the best idea in the entire world, but it is possible. In fact, theoretically you could use any bong as a dab rig and any dab rig as a bong, simply by swapping out the nail and bowl. If you’ve ever seen a dab rig, you probably thought it looked like a bong’s little son, Bong Jr.
Like a bong filters smoke by straining it through percolators and water, dab rigs accomplish the exact same process- but with vapor from concentrates.
