Shop Dab Rigs by Style
- Recycler Rigs: Continuous water cycling for cooler vapor, excellent flavor retention, and minimal splashback.
- Fixed Downstem / Can Rigs: Minimalist form factor with sturdy bases and quick, direct diffusion.
- Bent-Neck & Mouth-Saver Rigs: Comfortable posture and splash protection for daily drivers.
- Mini / Travel Rigs: Pocket-friendly, heat-efficient designs that pair perfectly with compact bangers.

Choose the Right Material & Build
- Borosilicate Glass: Clean flavor, high heat-resistance, and crystal clarity for watching vapor pathways.
- Thick-Wall Construction: Added durability around joints and percs; look for reinforced welds.
- Precision Ground Joints: Airtight fit for bowls, bangers, ash catchers, and reclaim adapters.
Percolation & Cooling — What to Expect
- Showerhead / Matrix: Broad, even diffusion for silky pulls and terp-forward flavor.
- Inline / Slitted Downstem: Fast clearing with low drag; great for compact cans.
- Recycler Loops: Continuous circulation increases water contact time for noticeably cooler vapor.
Quartz Bangers & Nails (Compatibility Guide)
- Joint Sizes: Most rigs use 10 mm or 14 mm female joints. Match size and gender (male/female) with the right quartz banger for a proper seal.
- Angles: Rigs are typically 90° or 45°. Choose a 90° banger or 45° banger to keep buckets level and heat even.
- Bucket / Flat-Top Bangers: Everyday workhorse—pairs with most carb caps and terp pearls.
- Terp Slurper / Blender: Increased surface area and airflow for dense, efficient vapor at lower temps.
- Opaque / Thick Bottom: Better heat retention and temp stability for consistent pulls.
Carb Caps, Inserts & Pearls
- Directional Caps: Steer airflow to move concentrates and prevent pooling.
- Bubble / Spinner Caps: Spin terp pearls for even heat distribution and improved vaporization.
- Quartz Inserts: Drop-in cups help maintain lower temps and keep bangers cleaner.
Temperature Basics (General Guidance)
- Low Temp (450–550°F): Best flavor, smoother vapor, lighter clouds—ideal for live resin and terp-rich extracts.
- Medium (550–600°F): Balance of flavor and density; great all-around starting point.
- Higher (600–650°F+): Bigger clouds and faster vaporization; can be harsher and more cleaning-intensive.
How to Choose Your First (or Next) Rig
- Flavor First? Pick a showerhead can or recycler with a quality quartz banger and directional cap.
- Compact & Fast? A mini can rig with a thick-bottom banger heats quickly and clears instantly.
- Versatility? Choose a hybrid pipe and keep both a bowl and banger in 14 mm for quick swaps.
- Easy Cleaning? Fewer chambers and simple percs mean faster maintenance and less buildup—grab rig cleaners and caps & plugs for shake-cleaning.
Care & Maintenance Tips
- After Each Session: Q-tip swabs the banger while warm to remove residue and protect the quartz.
- Routine Cleaning: For glass, use isopropyl alcohol (91–99%) and coarse salt; rinse warm and air-dry. See all glass cleaners.
- Protect Joints: Don’t overtighten accessories; use gentle twisting to seat and remove glassware. Add a reclaim catcher to keep joints cleaner.
- Heat Smart: Avoid thermal shock—let hot quartz cool before contact with cleaning fluid. Use reliable lighters & butane for consistent ignition.
Helpful Add-Ons
- Reclaim Catchers: Reduce mess, preserve parts, and make cleanup easier.
- Silicone Mats & Tools: Keep surfaces clean and provide grip for jars and hot accessories—browse dab tool sets.
- Caps & Plugs: Seal openings for shake-cleaning and spill-free storage.

Dab Rigs: Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is a dab rig and how is it different from a bong?
A dab rig is a water pipe designed for vaporizing concentrates using a quartz banger or nail, not a flower bowl. Rigs are typically smaller to preserve flavor, with percs and airflow optimized for low-temp vapor rather than combustion.
2. What size joint do most dab rigs use?
Most rigs use 10 mm or 14 mm female joints. Match both the size and gender of your quartz banger to ensure an airtight fit.
3. Does joint angle matter (45° vs 90°)?
Yes. Pair a 90° rig with a 90° banger and a 45° rig with a 45° banger so the bucket sits level, distributes heat evenly, and avoids spills.
4. Which percolator is best for dabs?
For flavor and fast clearing, look for showerhead, matrix, or slitted downstem percs. Recyclers recirculate water for extra cooling and minimal splashback.
5. Quartz banger types: what’s the difference?
Flat-top buckets are everyday workhorses for most carb caps and terp pearls. Thick/opaque bottoms hold heat longer. Terp slurpers/blenders add surface area and airflow for efficient low-temp vaporization.
6. What temperature should I dab at?
Low temp (450–550°F) = best flavor and smoother vapor. Mid (550–600°F) balances taste and density. High (600–650°F+) makes bigger clouds but can be harsher and require more cleaning.
7. Do I need a carb cap and terp pearls?
A carb cap controls airflow and pressure for thicker, tastier vapor at lower temps. Terp pearls help distribute heat and move concentrate for more complete vaporization.
8. What’s the easiest rig to clean?
Compact can rigs or simple single-perc designs. For glass, use ISO + salt, then rinse warm. See rig cleaning supplies.
9. How do I keep my quartz banger looking new?
Q-tip after every dab while warm to remove residue. Avoid red-hot heating and thermal shock; let hot quartz cool before adding cleaner. Browse dabbing swabs and quartz cleaners.
10. What accessories improve a dab setup?
Directional/bubble carb caps, terp pearls, reclaim catchers, dab tools, silicone mats, and caps/plugs for shake-cleaning. A thick-bottom banger adds temp stability.
11. Should I choose a recycler or a mini rig?
Recyclers maximize cooling and flavor for longer pulls; mini rigs are heat-efficient, travel-friendly, and deliver quick, terp-forward hits.
12. How do I pick my first (or next) dab rig?
Decide your priority: flavor (a showerhead can or recycler), compact speed (a mini can rig with a thick-bottom banger), or versatility (a hybrid water pipe you can swap between bowl and banger). For reliable ignition, see lighters & butane.
