FAQ:

What is a dab rig?

A dab rig (also known as an oil rig) is a specialized type of water pipe designed specifically for vaporizing cannabis concentrates. Unlike traditional bongs used for dry herbs, dab rigs are engineered to maximize the flavor and potency of concentrates through optimal vapor production and filtration. The key difference lies in their design and functionality -- dab rigs produce clean vapor instead of smoke, offering a purer, more flavorful experience.

What accessories do I need for my dab rig?

Carb Cap: Regulates airflow and maintains optimal vaporization temperature

Dab Tool: For precise concentrate application, typically made of titanium or stainless steel

Torch: A reliable heat source, butane recommended for clean heating

Optional but recommended accessories include reclaim catchers for concentrate conservation, temperature guns for precise heating, and cleaning solutions.

How do I use a dab rig?

Using a dab rig is a four-step process:

Setup Preparation: Gather all necessary components, ensure clean equipment, and have concentrate ready

Heating Process: Heat nail/banger with torch until red-hot, then allow proper cooling time (Quartz: 45-60 seconds, Titanium: 10-15 seconds) to reach the ideal temperature of 350-450°F

Concentrate Application: Apply concentrate using dab tool, cap immediately with carb cap, inhale slowly and steadily, and rotate dabber tip to prevent waste

Maintenance: Clean nail after each use and store properly between sessions

For first-time dabbers, we recommend starting with smaller dabs and lower temperatures.

How much should I spend on a dab rig?

Dab rigs are available at different price points to fit any budget:

Budget-Friendly ($50-100): Perfect for beginners with basic functionality and simpler designs

Mid-Range ($100-200): Better materials, enhanced filtration, and more design options

Premium ($200+): Highest quality materials, advanced filtration systems, and artistic designs

A dab rig is a small water pipe built for concentrates. Instead of a bowl it uses a banger or nail that you heat, and the water chamber cools the vapor before you inhale. Toker Supply stocks glass dab rigs, mini rigs, recyclers and novelty rigs from MJ Arsenal, HEMPER, Pulsar and Goody Glass, with free shipping on orders over $125.

How to Choose a Dab Rig

  • Size: mini rigs (4–7") keep the air path short for the best flavor; larger rigs give more filtration.
  • Percolation: recyclers and showerhead percs give smoother pulls; simple inline or fixed-stem rigs are easier to clean.
  • Joint size: most rigs use a 14mm female joint; some minis use 10mm. Match your quartz banger to it.
  • Kit or rig only: 4-piece kits include the banger, carb cap and dab tool; rig-only listings need those added.

Dab Rig Starter Kits

If this is your first rig, a dab rig starter kit is the easiest way in: the rig arrives with a matching banger, carb cap and dab tool, so everything fits. Add a dab torch and you are ready to go. If you buy a rig on its own, check the joint size and order a banger, carb cap and dabber that match.

Dab Rig FAQs

What do I need to use a dab rig?

A dab rig, a banger or nail that fits its joint, a carb cap, a dab tool and a butane torch.

Can I use a dab rig for dry herb?

Yes, if you swap the banger for a bowl that fits the same joint size. Rigs are designed for concentrates, so a dedicated bong is better for regular dry herb use.

Why are dab rigs smaller than bongs?

Concentrate vapor is already cooler and thinner than smoke, so it needs less filtration. A smaller chamber keeps more flavor and wastes less vapor.
