What Is a Dab Rig?

A dab rig also known as an oil rig is a type of water pipe specifically designed for vaporizing cannabis concentrates, such as wax, shatter, or resin. Unlike a traditional bong, which is used for dry herbs, dab rigs utilize a quartz banger or titanium nail that is heated with a dab torch.

Once the concentrate is applied to the heated surface, it instantly vaporizes, delivering smooth, flavorful hits through water filtration.

Our borosilicate glass dab rigs are built to handle high heat while preserving the flavour of your concentrates. With compact chambers and efficient airflow, they produce dense vapour with minimal harshness. Many rigs feature quartz bangers for even heat distribution and smoother hits, so every session tastes better and feels cleaner.

Key Components of a Dab Rig

A dab rig has a lot of parts, let’s break it down so you can find the perfect rig for your needs.

Why Use a Dab Rig?

Why Use a Dab Rig Instead of a Bong?

Why Choose a Dab Rig Over a Bong?

• More efficient use of concentrates – No wasted herb or smoke.

• Less harsh on the lungs – Vapor is cleaner than combusted smoke.

How to Use a Dab Rig

Using a dab rig correctly helps you get smooth, flavourful hits without wasting concentrate. Here's a quick step-by-step:

1. Heat the banger: Use a butane torch to heat your quartz banger or nail evenly until red-hot (20–30 seconds).
   
   

2. Let it cool: Wait 30–45 seconds for it to drop to the ideal temperature—lower temps (315–450°F) preserve flavour; higher temps (450–600°F) deliver stronger effects.
   
   

3. Apply your dab: Use a dab tool to place a small amount of concentrate into the banger. It should melt on contact.
   
   

4. Cap and inhale: Cover with a carb cap and inhale slowly, rotating the cap to control airflow and vapour.
   
   

5. Clean after use: Wipe the banger with a cotton swab after each session. Deep clean with isopropyl alcohol and salt to keep it fresh.

 What’s the best temperature for dabs?

The ideal temperature depends on whether you want flavor or intensity:

• 315°F - 450°F (Low-Temp Dabs) – Best for preserving terpenes and flavor.

• 450°F - 600°F (High-Temp Dabs) – Produces stronger, more intense effects.

Pro Tip: Use an infrared temperature gun for precise heat control.

How much do dab rigs cost?

Dab rigs come in a wide range of prices, depending on size, material, and design:

• Dab Rigs Under $25 – Budget-friendly starter rigs.

• Dab Rigs Under $50 – Perfect for those that want to elevate their dabs.

• Dab Rigs Under $100 – Mid-range options with better filtration.

Are mini dab rigs better than full-sized rigs?

Mini dab rigs are compact and preserve flavor, but full-sized rigs offer smoother hits.

• Mini Dab Rigs – Less air = stronger, more flavorful hits.

• Full-Sized Dab Rigs – More percolation = smoother, cooler dabs.

It all comes down to preference! If you want potent, on-the-go dabs, go with a mini rig. If you prefer bigger, smoother hits, choose a full-sized rig.

Do dabs get you higher than smoking?

Yes, dabs are more potent than smoking because concentrates contain significantly higher THC levels.

Is it illegal to dab?

Legality depends on your location and local cannabis laws, so always check your state or country’s regulations.

Is a dab rig smoking or vaping?

Using a dab rig is technically vaporising since it heats concentrates into vapour rather than burning them.
