Qnubu Dab Station Jar: Keep Your Concentrates Clean and Organised
The Qnubu Dab Station Jar is a food-grade silicone storage container that keeps your dab concentrates separated, uncontaminated, and ready to go. With 8 compartments holding up to 110ml total, it replaces the mess of mismatched pots and sticky parchment paper with a single, dishwasher-safe station built specifically for dabbing. If you've ever scraped yesterday's shatter residue off a glass jar and wondered if there's a better way — there is, and it costs less than a decent meal out.
Why a Dedicated Dab Station Beats Random Containers
A proper silicone dab station solves the single most annoying problem with concentrate storage: cross-contamination. When you're working with different strains, textures, and consistencies — live resin in one compartment, crumble in another, maybe some rosin you pressed last weekend — you want each one tasting exactly like it should. Not like a blend of everything you've dabbed this month.
We've seen customers come in using everything from shot glasses to old lip balm tins. The problem isn't just aesthetics. Glass and metal surfaces grip concentrates, meaning you lose material every time you scrape. Worse, residual terpenes from one extract bleed into the next, muddying the flavour profile you paid good money for. Silicone doesn't bond with concentrates — your wax, shatter, or budder peels right off. Zero waste, zero flavour contamination.
The Qnubu Dab Station Jar holds 110ml across 8 compartments of different sizes. That's enough to keep your daily rotation separated without needing a shelf full of individual pots. The different compartment sizes actually matter: small ones for micro-amounts of expensive live rosin, larger ones for your everyday crumble. It's a simple design choice that shows Qnubu actually thought about how people dab, rather than just slapping a logo on generic silicone.
One honest limitation: silicone can absorb very faint odours over time if you leave the same concentrate sitting in it for weeks on end. The fix is easy — run it through the dishwasher between batches, or give it a soak in isopropyl alcohol. Comes back good as new every time. But if you're the type to leave concentrates untouched for months, a glass jar might serve you better for long-term storage.

How the Silicone Dab Station Feels in Practice
Pick this thing up and the first thing you notice is the weight — or rather, the lack of it. It's properly lightweight silicone with a slight flex to it, the kind that bounces if you drop it off the table (and you will, eventually, because dab sessions aren't known for steady hands). The compartment walls are firm enough to keep concentrates separated but soft enough that you can push from underneath to pop out a stubborn piece of shatter.
The smell-proof seal is genuinely effective. We've had this sitting on a counter with four different concentrates loaded up, and you get nothing until you open it. That 200°C heat resistance means you can set it near your rig without panicking — though we wouldn't recommend parking it directly against a heated banger. Near, not on.
How to Use the Qnubu Dab Station Jar
- Remove the lid and inspect all 8 compartments. Give the station a quick wash before first use — warm water and mild soap, or a dishwasher cycle.
- Load each compartment with a different concentrate. Use the smaller compartments for expensive or limited extracts, and the larger ones for your everyday rotation.
- Use a dab tool to scoop directly from the compartment to your banger or nail. The silicone surface means concentrates won't stick — a clean lift every time.
- Replace the lid after each use to maintain the smell-proof seal and prevent dust or debris from settling on your concentrates.
- Clean between batches by running the entire station through a dishwasher, or soak in isopropyl alcohol for 10-15 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with warm water and let it air dry.
Complete your dab setup with a proper dab tool for clean scooping, and a quality dab rig or e-nail for consistent temperature control. If you're pressing your own rosin, pair the Dab Station Jar with a Qnubu rosin press to go from flower to storage in one session.
Dab Station Jar vs. Individual Silicone Pots
You could buy 8 separate silicone concentrate containers and achieve roughly the same storage capacity. Here's why most people don't, once they've tried a station:
| Feature | Qnubu Dab Station Jar | 8 Individual Silicone Pots |
|---|---|---|
| Organisation | All concentrates visible at a glance | Scattered across desk/drawer |
| Cleaning | 1 item in the dishwasher | 8 tiny pots to track and wash |
| Smell-Proof Seal | Single lid covers everything | 8 individual lids to lose |
| Portability | One unit to grab and go | Bag of loose pots |
| Compartment Sizes | Varied (small to large) | Usually identical |
| Desk Footprint | Compact, single station | Spread out, cluttered |
The station wins on convenience every time. The only scenario where individual pots make more sense is if you want to hand a single concentrate to a friend without giving them access to your entire collection. Fair enough — but for daily personal use, the station format is the better call.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you clean a silicone dab station?
Throw it in the dishwasher — that's the easiest method. For a deeper clean, soak it in isopropyl alcohol for 10-15 minutes, then rinse with warm water and air dry. Isopropyl dissolves reclaim and sticky residues effectively. The food-grade silicone comes back looking brand new after every wash.
Is food-grade silicone safe for storing dab concentrates?
Yes. Food-grade silicone is non-reactive and heat-resistant to 200°C, well above any temperature your concentrates will reach during storage. It won't leach chemicals into your extracts or alter their flavour profile. It's the same material used in kitchen bakeware and baby products.
Does the Qnubu Dab Station Jar actually block smell?
It does. The sealed lid creates an airtight closure that contains terpene aromas effectively. You won't smell anything with the lid on, even with 8 different concentrates loaded. Once you open it, the full bouquet comes through — which is exactly what you want.
Can I use this dab station for long-term concentrate storage?
For short to medium-term storage (days to a couple of weeks), it's spot on. For storage beyond a month, concentrates can slowly degrade regardless of container. Silicone may also absorb faint odours over extended periods. For truly long-term storage, glass with an airtight seal in a cool, dark place is the better option.
How much concentrate fits in the Qnubu Dab Station Jar?
Total capacity is 110ml spread across 8 compartments of different sizes. In practical terms, that's enough for a solid rotation of 6-8 different concentrates at once. The varied compartment sizes let you allocate more space to your daily driver and less to smaller, special-occasion extracts.
Will concentrates stick to the silicone surface?
No — that's the main advantage of silicone over glass or metal. Concentrates peel cleanly off the surface with a dab tool, meaning virtually zero waste. Shatter, crumble, budder, and live resin all release easily. It's noticeably better than scraping residue off a glass jar.
Can I put the dab station near my heated rig?
The silicone withstands temperatures up to 200°C, so placing it on your dab station near (but not touching) a heated banger or nail is fine. Don't rest it directly against a hot surface for extended periods. A few centimetres of distance is all you need.
