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.

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.
