What Is Dab Rig?
A dab rig is a specialized water pipe designed for vaporizing cannabis concentrates at high temperatures.
Dab Rig Explained
A dab rig is a type of water pipe specifically designed for consuming cannabis concentrates. It consists of a glass body with water filtration, a nail or banger (the heated surface), a carb cap, and a dab tool. The nail/banger is heated using a torch or electronic heating element (e-nail), then a small amount of concentrate is applied to the hot surface, instantly vaporizing it. The vapor passes through the water for cooling before being inhaled.
Why It Matters
Dab rigs are the dedicated hardware for concentrate consumers. They offer the best flavor and most efficient consumption of concentrates like wax, shatter, live resin, and rosin.
