If you’ve ever seen someone pull out a blowtorch and a tiny glass rig, and thought "what the hell is that?" — welcome to the world of dabs.
Let’s break down what dab rigs are, how they work, and why they deliver one of the strongest cannabis experiences out there.
Tried dabbing before?
Got a rig you swear by? Drop your setup below and flex it.
Let’s break down what dab rigs are, how they work, and why they deliver one of the strongest cannabis experiences out there.
- A dab rig is a small water pipe (like a mini bong) made specifically for vaporizing cannabis concentrates like wax, shatter, budder, or live resin.
- Instead of burning flower, you’re vaporizing pure THC concentrate at high heat.
- The result? Bigger hits, cleaner flavor, and WAY more potency.
- Heat the nail (aka the banger) — usually with a small torch.
- Wait for it to cool slightly — too hot and you’ll scorch your lungs.
- Drop a small amount of concentrate (aka a "dab") onto the hot nail.
- Inhale the vapor through the rig’s water filtration.
- Exhale clouds so fat they deserve their own zip code.
- Rig Body: Small glass water chamber (looks like a mini bong)
- Nail/Banger: Quartz, titanium, or ceramic piece you heat
- Carb Cap: Traps heat and improves vaporization (optional but awesome)
- Torch: Small handheld butane torch (not your kitchen lighter)
- Dabber Tool: Little stick to safely drop your concentrate
- Concentrates are usually 60-90% THC (flower is 15-25%).
- Vapor hits your bloodstream faster and harder than smoke.
- No plant material = smoother hits when done right.
- Start small — tiny dabs. Like, pinky-nail sized.
- Always cool your nail down after torching (30–60 seconds).
- Stay seated your first few times — no shame, trust me.
- Keep water levels low — just enough to bubble.
- MJ Arsenal (mini rigs, super clean)
- Puffco Peak (electronic rig, no torch needed)
- Bear Quartz (killer bangers and accessories)
- Dr. Dabber (portable electric dab rigs)
