Modern-day marijuana smokers love to indulge in super-concentrated THC in the form of dab. If you’re a novice user and are intrigued by dabbing it might be daunting. Unlike smoking dry herbs, wax dabs require a special setup to ensure proper usage.
A simple lighter and pipe won’t be enough for this sticky substance. To smoke dabs, it is necessary to have a rig and torch lighter. The reason for this is that dabs are more vaporized than simply ignited. Vaporization requires a higher temperature. There are numerous dab rigs that you can choose from and choosing the right one can be a challenge. Let’s look at each type of dab rig to know the distinctions in addition to the features and benefits they have to provide.
The various types of Dab Rigs
Standard dab rigs come equipped with a bowl component, known as the nail or banger. This nail gets heated by a torch to achieve high temperatures. Typically, the wax, shatter, or rosin gets gathered onto a device known as a dabber. The dab is placed into the nail and the vapor is then inhaled through the rig’s mouthpiece. When this is happening, a carb cap can be used to help keep in the goodness and make sure that you’re getting all the vapor.
- Traditional Glass Rig
Glass oil rigs come in an old-fashioned look, and are used by many who like to smoke shatter, smoke wax, or dab rosin. These rigs are generally made of borosilicate glasses that are thick which makes them strong. The size of these pieces could vary as can the design However, they’re usually clear glass that appears similar to a bong, but they’re available in different colors.
- Mini Rig
Miniature rigs are, as I’m sure you can guess are smaller dab rigs. The principal benefit of having the smaller size is that you are able to take it with you on the go. Still able to function, a miniature rig can be easily concealed. Mini rigs also are popular because they are very efficient.
- Silicone Rig
Silicone rigs are ideal for smokers who are at risk of accidents. Due to the flexible material, it is almost impossible to break one if dropped. They’re virtually unbreakable and are also very easy to clean. They are typically significantly less expensive than alternatives as well.
- Recycler Rig
Recycler rigs are constructed with percolators that aid in thoroughly getting rid of carcinogens and toxins. They recycle smoke through several chambers. The result is the smoothest hit. Recycler rigs have also a distinct appearance that increases the appeal.
- Honey Straw
Honey straws, also known as nectar collectors, atomizers, or dab straws, are different from other kinds of rigs. The most common type is a tube made of glass or another material. These straws could also come with a water chamber built in but some don’t make use of water. Dab straws are easy to use and portable as well. They’re also useful to pass around with a handful of buddies.
