Different Types of Dab Rigs

1. Glass Dab Rigs

Glass dab rigs come in various artistic designs and styles, making them visually appealing. 

Their transparent nature also allows you to see the creation of vapor and the movement of the concentrate as it evaporates.

Glass offers the purest flavor. With a series of tubes and water chambers, the best rigs will quickly cool down your vapor.

You will enjoy a smooth, richly flavored, and full-strength hit in every rip. And to top it off, cool dab rigs look dope as well.

2. E-Rigs (Electronic Dab Rigs)

Electronic dab rigs are a more modern and convenient option for dabbing.

They eliminate the need for a torch and are powered by electricity.

They typically have temperature control settings for a precise dabbing experience.

These dab rigs can be taken apart to put in carrying kits - they can also fit easily in your pocket.

3. Recycler Dab Rig

Recycler dab rigs are all about the smoothest hits, thanks to their continuous water and vapor cycling.

This process helps cool down the vapor, providing a smoother hit.

Recycler dab rigs often have multiple percolators and small glass structures that help filter and cool the vapor.

The result is a smoother and cleaner hit. Try one if you're chasing the ultimate smooth dabbing experience.

4. Mini Dab Rig

The best mini dab rigs are incredibly easy to use. 

Unlike more complex dab rigs, they have a simple design that makes them perfect for beginners.

Mini dab rigs are compact and portable, perfect for discreet dabbing without compromising potency.

Despite their small size, they deliver powerful hits, making them great for quick, intense sessions.

They’re ideal if you need a stealthy option that still packs a punch.

Parts of a Dab Rig

Anatomy of the Dab Rig

1: Dab Nail/Banger

The bucket-shaped part of the dab rig holds the concentrate and is heated to vaporize it.

It can be made from various materials, including quartz, titanium, ceramic, or high borosilicate glass.

2: Joint

The connecting point is where you attach the nail or banger to the rig body.

Dab rig joints usually have fixed downstems and are upright to provide room for a banger.

3: Downstem

The down stem is the pipe connecting the joint to the dab rig.

Most Lookah and Tatto glass have fixed-down stems. The end of the downstream usually has a slotted circ percolator.

4: Base

A large, sturdy base provides a strong foundation and prevents the glass from being knocked over easily.

It also provides an excellent place to hold the dab rig when using it.

5: Water Chamber

The part of the dab rig where water is held.

The water cools and filters the vapor as it passes through, providing a smoother hit.

6: Neck

Vapor travels out of the water chamber and through the neck. A longer neck can provide more cooling. 

Some necks are slightly bent to prevent water splashback from rising from the chamber as you inhale.

7: Mouthpiece

The part of the dab rig where you inhale the vapor.

Some dab rigs feature a bent neck or other designs to prevent water from reaching your mouth.

How To Use A Dab Rig?

When you're dabbing, you're not technically smoking; you are inhaling the vapor.

An oil or wax rig aims to vaporize the concentrate rather than burning the flower or herb, such as using a bong or smoking a pipe or rollup.

You will need your wax or oil, a water pipe/dab rig, a nail, a butane blow torch, a dab tool, and a carb cap.

Step 1: Add Water To Your Dab Rig

You need to add the correct amount of water to your device to get the best performance.

Too little water will cause the rig to not cool the vapor; too much water will result in splashback in your mouth.

Usually, the water needs to be just above the holes in the percolator for the wax rig to perform correctly.

Step 2: Heat The Nail/Banger

Heat your nail or banger with a dab torch until it glows red hot.

Let the banger/nail cool for about 30 to 60 seconds. 

If you have an infrared thermometer gun, you can check the temperature. The temperature should be between 315 and 550°F.

Getting the temperature right can take a little trial and error as it depends on the marital and thickness of your banger/nail.

Step 3: Measure Your Dab

Scoop a small amount of concentrate onto the tip of your dabbing tool.

The size of the dab depends on your preference and the concentrate's potency.

It's best to start with a small dab and add more if needed.

Step 4: Apply To Nails Or Banger

Once your nail or banger is at the preferred temperature, place your dab on the heated surface.

To prevent burns, avoid touching hot bangers or nails with your fingers.

The nail temperature can impact the dab's taste and strength.

Experiment with different temperatures to find the one you like.

Cover the dab with your carb cap to control the airflow.

Step 5: Inhale And Enjoy

Once the dab becomes vapor, inhale slowly and steadily from your rig's mouthpiece.

As the concentrate vaporizes, it will pass through the water chamber, cooling it.

You can adjust the airflow into your dab rig using the carb cap. A direction carb cap can help the wax vaporize more evenly.

Dabbing might initially seem scary, but it can be straightforward and rewarding with the right tools and know-how.

Remember to be careful when handling hot surfaces and clean your dab equipment regularly to get the best results.

What To Look For In A Dab Rig?

There is a lot to consider when buying a dab oil rig, including selecting the correct size rig, the percolator type, and style and look.

While a small rig is more comfortable to handle, a larger one can cope with heat more by dissipating it over a larger area so it won't get as hot.

Smaller is sometimes better. Oil and wax are stickier than dry herbs, tobacco, or other legal plants.

When more glass is between the mouthpiece and the down stem, the vapor loses flavor because it has to travel further.

Percolation provides a smoother hit by providing a cooling effect. There are several different percolators.

The more complex ones can offer better cooling, which is ideal for higher temperature hits. Still, they are also more time-consuming to clean.

Two and four-hole percolators are preferable because they cool off the dabs without chopping up the water too much.

Not all glass joints are the same, and they typically come in three main sizes: 10, 14, and 18 millimeters.

Each joint can be male or female. The joints' size determines the airflow, and the gender will indicate what type of nail to buy.

High-Temperature Dabbing Versus Low-Temperature Dabbing

Temperature is essential when extracting vaping because it affects the flavor and intensity. The higher the temperature, the more intense.

Like most things when it comes to dabbing, the temperature is a personal preference.

How long it takes to heat a dab rig glass nail or quartz bucket will depend on the kind of torch you are using and the size of the nail/bucket.

Generally, it will take a few minutes to heat the banger. Suppose you don't have an infrared thermometer gun to measure the temperature.

In that case, getting the temperature right will take some experimentation.

You want the banger to glow red hot. Then, let it sit for about 40 seconds. This should allow it to cool to the ideal temperature range.

If the banger is oily after the vapor has stopped coming off it, the temperature is too low.

The temperature was too high if the whole dab burned up and you only got a small amount of vapor.

The nail should be around 315°F to release the terpenes from your concentrate, and the goodness will continue to come as the temperature increases.

However, once the temperature reaches 440 °F, you're in danger of scorching. As the temperature increases beyond this, the vapor becomes hotter and harsher.

Having a water bubbler to cool down the vapor is beneficial, but high-temperature hits can still be too harsh for some.

High-temperature dabs suit the impatient who want a heavy, dense hit and a more intense vapor. While you'll feel the effects more, it comes at the expense of flavor.

When the concentrate is vaporized at a higher temperature, it muddies the flavor. The mellow and sweeter notes can become harsh and bitter. It can be that higher temperature hits reduce you to a coughing fit.

Low-temperature dabs need more skill in controlling the heat.

Still, you'll experience a broader flavor spectrum, so if you've got a tasty extract, you'll get a fuller flavor. You will also take longer and smoother hits.

How To Choose A Dab Rig?

When dabbing first broke into the mainstream, dabbers often changed the bowls from large water pipes with a dab nail and called it a day.

However, wax rigs have developed their style over the years, significantly changing them from the larger beaker bongs.

Dabbers started trading in the big straight-tube water wipes for dab rigs half the size or smaller.

These smaller dab rig kits often sport more artistic and intricate designs, which leads to their premium price.

Before you rush to buy a dab rig, consider a few things. Firstly, will you need a recycler rig, or will a standard banger hanger do? A recycler rig's extra cooling could greatly benefit you if you want more significant vapor clouds.

When dabbing, you need to consider the type of nail or banger you will use. Dab nails can be with a dome or domeless nails. 

They can be titanium nails, ceramic nails, quartz nails, or glass nails. Each has advantages and disadvantages.

Finally, consider the color, style, and design of the glass. Does one of those artistic pipes with bulging eyes or horns call out to you? How about the honey bee pipe with its rich decorations? Or you've settled on a sandblasted pipe with a geometric design.

Whatever your preference, we are sure you can find the perfect dab rig kit on our Lookah online headshop.

How Much Is A Dab Rig?

The price of a dab rig will depend on the item's size, the materials, and the skill or craftsmanship to produce the piece.
