Dab Rigs Oil Rigs Concentrate Rigs

First, fill your rig with enough water to submerge the percolator; this acts to cool the vapor and makes for much smoother hits. Now, using a blowtorch, carefully heat the nail until red-hot. Allow it to cool slightly before glass pipe using your dabbing tool—which is usually some form of metal or glass wand—to transfer your dabs onto the hot surface. With your mouth on the mouthpiece, inhale as the dabs quickly vaporize on the hot nail or banger.

Thankfully things have evolved, and now there is a vast array of tabletop and more portable dab rigs, oil rigs, and dabbing accessories that are specially designed for the job. A dab rig or oil rig pipe is made for use with concentrates rather than ground herb. Concentrates require less water filtration and are more flavorful when filtered through a smaller water pipe than a giant bong, so dab rigs tend to be smaller than bongs. Rigs are made to be fitted with quartz bangers that can be heated to vaporize concentrates. There are a number of differences between dab rigs and water pipes (or bongs).

Dabs can come in a wide variety of consistencies and terpene profiles. Standing at just 17.5cm, this pipe makes a great permanent fixture in a smoker's home setup, but is also ideal as a cannabis travel companion.

You can also speed up the process using paper towels, pipe cleaners, or cotton swabs. Double-check that it is thoroughly cleaned out of any leftover isopropyl alcohol and salt glass pipe to avoid putting yourself at any health risks. This will help get the cleaning solution moving around your piece, which is especially helpful if you have stuck-on resin.

Of course, the real feature of this rig is its vibrant, high-quality design. It even comes in a matching presentation box, giving it a more premium feel. It is guaranteed to be a talking point amongst glass pipe artsy stoner friends. The perfect way to honour the legacy of this groundbreaking and influential artist. Some people are concerned about residual solvents in concentrates and extracts.

The main difference between dab rigs and bongs is the products they are meant for. Dab rigs should be used for smoking concentrates such as honey, wax, and oil. On the other hand, bongs are much better for dry herb, flowers, and tobacco. Flower checks in around 20-25% THC while dabs check in between 70-99% THC. Dabbing will get you much higher since the dabs themselves are concentrated. With that said, a wax bong used for dabbing will get you higher because you’re running dabs through it.
