Dab Rigs and Tools — Buying Guide

A dab rig is a water pipe built specifically for concentrates — wax, shatter, rosin, live resin, oils. Instead of burning dry flower, you heat a nail or banger, drop the concentrate in, and inhale the vapour through water filtration. Tools are everything else that makes the process clean: dabbers to load the wax, carb caps to trap vapour, mats to protect your desk, and storage jars to keep extracts separated.

We've been selling rigs and accessories since the dab scene properly took off in Europe, and the range has exploded. A decade ago you picked between a titanium nail and a quartz one. Now you're choosing between torch-heated quartz bangers, thermal double-walled designs, induction heaters like The Wand, and full electronic e-rigs like the Puffco Peak or Hyer Big-E. The good news: more options. The honest news: if you're new to this, ignore 80% of it and start simple.

Rig Types at a Glance

What We Carry

• Glass dab rigs — borosilicate rigs from EHLE, Tsunami Glass, Groove, Higher Standards and Goody Glass, from 13.5cm micro tubes up to 25cm+ recycler setups.
• Electronic and induction rigs — the Puffco Peak, Hyer Big-E Rig and Ispire Wand cover everything from portable smart dabs to full desktop e-rigs.
• Bangers and nails — quartz bangers (straight and 45° angled), thermal double-walled bangers, glass bangers with carb caps, and the Black Leaf Titanium Oil Nail in 14.5mm and 18.8mm joints.
• Carb caps and temperature tools — bubble carb caps like the White Rhino Bubble V2, and the Cadmium Temperature Indicator Capsule that turns red at the ideal dabbing temp.
• Dabbers — the Black Leaf Titanium Oil Tool (grade 2 titanium, 120mm), EHLE glass dabbing tools, and the three-piece Qnubu Stainless Steel Dabbing Tool Set.
• Mats and workstations — Higher Standards Triangle Concentrate Mat, the Grateful Dead x Pulsar Dancing Skellies fabric mat, and the Hemper IsoPlex cleaning station.
• Storage and parchment — Qnubu Dab Station Jar with 8 silicone compartments, RAW silicone-coated parchment papers and pouches for sticky extracts.
• Extraction gear — Qnubu Rosin Press Bags in 25–160μm, Qnubu Extraction Paper, PTFE Film for oil extraction, and the Cannolator Cannabis Extractor for home ethanol extraction.

How to Choose Your Dab Rig Setup

If you're new to dabbing, don't overthink it. Buy a complete kit and you'll have every part that fits together properly — the Drummer Boy Mini Rig Kit or Higher Standards Heavy Duty Rig both ship with the rig, banger, dab tool and carb cap in one box. You'll also need a torch (not included with most rigs) or an induction heater like The Wand if you'd rather skip the flame. Start with a mid-range quartz banger — quartz tastes cleaner than titanium and heats more evenly than glass.

Intermediate dabbers usually want to upgrade one part at a time: a thermal quartz banger for longer heat retention, a bubble carb cap for better airflow, or a temperature indicator so you stop guessing. At this stage, the Qnubu Stainless Steel Dabbing Tool Set replaces the flimsy single dabber most starter kits ship with.

If you're experienced and tired of torches, the Puffco Peak Smart Rig or Hyer Big-E Rig are where the scene is heading — electronic heat, no flame, thirty dabs per charge on the Peak. When in doubt, get the Heavy Duty Rig kit and a decent quartz banger. It's the setup we'd build ourselves.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a dab rig and a bong?

A dab rig is shorter (usually 15–25cm) with a smaller chamber and less water — built for flavour-rich concentrate vapour that'd get lost in a big bong. A bong is sized for dry herb smoke. You can technically use a bong for dabs with an adapter, but the vapour cools and loses punch in the larger volume.

Quartz banger or titanium nail — which should I buy?

Quartz for flavour, titanium for durability. Quartz bangers heat clean and taste neutral, which is why most modern dabbers use them. Titanium nails like the Black Leaf Oil Nail heat faster, won't crack if you drop them, and suit anyone who dabs heavily or travels with their rig. Titanium can impart a faint metallic note at high temps — quartz doesn't.

Do I need a carb cap?

Yes, if you want to finish a dab properly. A carb cap traps vapour inside the banger at lower temperatures, so you vaporise the whole drop instead of leaving residue behind. The Bubble V2 carb cap works as a directional airflow tool too — spin it to push vapour around the bucket. Most modern bangers are designed around having one.

What temperature should I dab at?

Low-temp dabs (around 150–230°C / 300–450°F) give the best flavour and preserve terpenes. High-temp dabs above 315°C scorch the concentrate and produce harsher vapour. If you're guessing, order the Cadmium Temperature Indicator Capsule — it turns red when your banger hits the ideal zone, no thermometer needed.

Can I dab without a torch?

Yes — and a lot of people are moving that way. Induction heaters like The Wand heat your banger electronically with precise temperature control. Full e-rigs like the Puffco Peak and Hyer Big-E skip the banger entirely — they've got a ceramic or quartz atomiser built into the device. No butane, no flame, no guessing.

How do I clean a dab rig?

Iso alcohol (90%+) and cotton swabs for the banger — do it while it's still warm, not hot, and the residue wipes off clean. For the glass, soak in iso with coarse salt and shake. The Hemper IsoPlex station keeps your iso bottle, swabs and tools in one heat-resistant silicone tray so cleaning doesn't become a project.
