Dabs are becoming more and more popular these days. The dab rig is the tool that allows you to enjoy your dabs in a safe, clean way. However, with so many dab rigs on the market, it can be hard to know which one is best for you. This article will give you some things to look for in a dab rig so that you can find the perfect device for your needs!
1. Does it have a female joint or a male joint?
Both male and female joints have their share of advantages and disadvantages. Male joints are more common and they provide better airflow. On the other hand, Female joints hold water much easier than male joints do.
So which one should you go for? The answer depends on your dab rig preferences and how often you intend to change dab nails or dab accessories.
If you’re the kind of person who prefers to stick to one dab nail, then it’s best that your dab rig has the same type of connection (male or female) as your dab nail. If you like trading out accessories often and switching dab nails, then dab rigs with both male and female connectors are the best options.
2. What is the thickness of the glass
Thick and high-quality glass dab rigs will stand up to more heat, dabbing, and overall use. On the other hand, thin glass is easier to break but can be enjoyed for a short while before breaking. A medium thickness (around 30mm) dab rig that’s made of high-quality material is ideal!
3. What are the measurements of the pipe, including height and diameter
The dab rig should have a height of at least six inches, and the diameter can vary from two to four inches. A bubbler may be preferred for some smokers because they are easier on their throat due to the water filtration system. The chamber of a dab rig is made out of borosilicate glass or titanium metal which protects the dab rig from cracking due to the high temperatures.
A bubbler is also an option for smokers who prefer water filtration over glass percolation systems.
4. Is there a carb hole on your dab rig?
A dab rig with a carb hole will allow you to control the airflow and heat of your dab. This feature is important for many reasons. Its primary function is to allow you to clear out any smoke that might be left in the chamber before taking another hit (preventing cross-contamination).
If there isn’t such a button or opening on the dab rig, there is a possibility that you’ll get some of the chamber contents in your mouth. While this may not be harmful, it’s certainly unappealing.
For many people new to dabbing or vaping concentrates, they can often find themselves coughing up all sorts of things when taking their first hits from rigs with no carb hole. It’s often best to get dab rigs with a carb hole so you can have the smoothest experience possible.
5. What kind of nail does it use – domeless, quartz banger, titanium nail
You choose your kind of nail depending on your preferences. Each kind has its share of advantages and disadvantages
- Domeless nails are made of titanium or quartz and have smooth edges.
- Quartz banger nails tend to be more expensive due to having an additional layer of glass covering them. They also have a slightly larger surface area for dabbing, which may be more convenient.
- Titanium nails have a lower melting point, so dabbers can get their hits faster and with less risk of burning themselves.
Some dab rigs use titanium nails that are attached to a quartz banger base. These types of dab rigs cost the least. However, they may not give you the best flavor from your wax or shatter because they have a smaller dabbing surface area. Nail is one of the most important things to look for in a dab rig.
6. How big is your downstem’s opening (in mm)
The bigger the dab rig’s downstem opening, the more smoke it can pull through at once. The best dab rigs have a big enough downstem to make pulling multiple dabs easy and fast. You should look for dab rigs whose downstem openings are around 14mm or larger.
Conclusion
So, there you have it. In the end, your choice of a dab rig will depend on what is most important to you as an individual or as part of a group. Fortunately, you now know about the things to look for in a dab rig.
