Discover the variety and features of dab rigs we offer. At Snow Tree headshop, you will find different types of dab rigs, including:

Glass Dab Rigs

Glass dab rigs are the most popular and traditional type. They are made from durable borosilicate glass and can handle high heat without sacrificing flavor. Most glass rigs have built-in percolators that cool and filter your vapor, resulting in a cleaner, smoother taste.

With the transparent design, you can watch the vapor of your dab diffuse through the water, adding an extra layer of fun to each session.

Glass dab rigs are best for you if:

  • You are a beginner or seasoned dabber looking for a setup that delivers pure, full-flavored vapor.
  • You enjoy visually seeing the vapor production and diffusion process.
  • You don’t mind a bit of extra care when handling and cleaning glass.

Silicone Dab Rigs

Our silicone dab rigs are about durability and convenience. The flexible silicone material is virtually indestructible, making these rigs perfect for travel, outdoor sessions, or accident-prone users. They may not be as fancy as glass, but they are budget-friendly and easy to clean and maintain.

Silicone dab rigs are for you if:

  • You want a durable rig that can take bumps, accidental drops, and constant use.
  • You’re looking for a dab rig that’s easy to clean.
  • You need something portable for on-the-go sessions.

Recycler Dab Rigs

Our recycler dab rigs are a great choice when you’re after exceptionally smooth, flavor-rich hits. They continuously recycle vapor and water through multiple chambers, ensuring incredibly smooth hits. Because of their intricate designs, these rigs often run on the larger side, with some models reaching up to 8” in height.

Recycler dab rigs are best for you if:

  • You crave the cleanest, most thoroughly filtered hits possible.
  • You value intricate glasswork and appreciate advanced design features.
  • You’re an experienced dabber looking to enhance flavor and smoothness.

Mini Dab Rigs

Mini dab rigs are a smaller version of traditional rigs. They are the perfect dab rig when you want something portable or have limited space. Most are under 7”, which makes them easy to store, transport, and handle.

Mini dab rigs are best for you if:

  • You have limited space or often travel with your gear.
  • You prefer a more discreet, lightweight setup.
  • You’re a beginner who wants a manageable, user-friendly option.

E-Rigs ( Electronic Dab Rigs )

E-rigs, electric dab rigs, or e-nails bring precision and simplicity to your sessions. Instead of using a dab torch, an e-rig uses a battery-powered heating element(e-nail) that lets you fine-tune the exact temperature control for your dabs with the push of a button.

If fussing with flames and timing isn’t your thing, an e-rig offers a consistent, convenient experience every time.

E-rigs are best for you if:

  • You prioritize precision and reliable temperature control.
  • You want speed and functionality with a dab rig that is ready to go with the push of a button.
  • You want a modern, tech-forward approach to enjoying dabs.
  • You want some degree of safety by avoiding open flame from the butane torch.

Dab Rig Anatomy

Although some fancier Dab rigs come with additional accessories to improve your dabbing experience, all dab rigs will have the same basic parts. Let’s break them down.

  • Dab Nail/Banger: This is where the magic happens. The banger, often a heat-resistant dish crafted from materials like quartz, titanium, glass, or ceramic, is where you place and heat your concentrates.
  • Joint: The joint connects your nail or quartz banger to the main body of the rig. Matching the right joint size is crucial for a snug fit and optimal airflow.
  • Water Chamber: This section holds the water that cools and filters the vapor before you inhale. As the hot, concentrated vapor passes through water, it’s transformed into a smoother hit that’s easier on your lungs.
  • Mouthpiece: At the top of the rig, the mouthpiece is where you inhale.
  • Percolators(percs): Not all rigs have them, but percolators can significantly improve your dabbing sessions. They come in many shapes and forms, such as showerheads, honeycombs, or inline, further enhancing water filtration for smooth hits.
  • E-nail: In e-rigs (electronic dab rigs), an e-mail replaces the traditional dab torch. This electronic heating element delivers precise temperature control at the press of a button to find your perfect sweet spot without guesswork.

Tips For Buying Dab Rigs

tips for buying dab rigs

Deciding on which dab rig to buy can feel overwhelming with so many choices on the market. How do you cut through the clutter and find your dream dab rig? Here are some points to consider before your purchase:

Size

Are you on the move or want a statement piece at home? A smaller rig travels easily and tucks away discreetly, while a larger setup can deliver more filtration and stand as a showpiece. Think about where (and how) you’ll be dabbing.

Material

Glass dab rigs often provide the cleanest, most authentic taste. Silicone dab rigs are tough and travel-friendly. Avoid plastic rigs, as they can release toxins when heated.

Percolators

How smooth do you want your hits? Extra percs and ice catchers mean more filtration and a softer inhale. Consider whether you’re happy with a simple setup or eager for a rig that turns every pull into silky perfection.

Ease of use

What do you value more, simplicity or experimenting? Consider an e-rig for precise temperature control and easy, torch-free sessions if convenience is your top priority.

Budget

Finally, what’s your budget? High-end rigs can be artful and intricate, but plenty of affordable options still deliver a satisfying dabbing experience. Know your budget, and remember that great hits don’t have to break the bank.

The Best Temperatures For Dabbing

One of the most important aspects of dabbing is getting the temperature just right. The temperature you choose can make or break your dabbing experience, affecting flavor and effects.

Here is the Ideal Temperature for Dabbing

  • Low Temp Dabbing (315°F–450°F): Perfect for flavor chasers, this range preserves delicate terpenes, giving you smooth, flavorful hits. It’s also easier on your throat and lungs, making it the most preferred option.
  • Mid-Range (450°F–600°F): This range balances flavor and effects. You’ll enjoy a good mix of terpenes and THC with smooth yet dense vapor.
  • High Temperatures (600°F+): High temperatures will deliver if you’re looking for big clouds and intense effects. But be warned—going too high can burn off terpenes, leaving a harsher hit with diminished flavor.

So, how do you Find the Right Temperature when dabbing?

If you have an e-rig, you’re in luck—setting the temperature is as simple as that. But if you’re using a quartz banger, it’s a bit more hands-on. Heat the banger with a dab torch until it glows red hot, then let it cool for 10–15 seconds before applying your concentrate.

Want more precision? Invest in an infrared thermometer to measure the surface temperature of your banger for consistent hits every time.

What Tools Are Needed For a Dab Rig Setup?

Aside from the dab rig itself, these dab accessories are essential to elevate your dab sessions:

  • Dabber/Dab Tool: This spoon-like tool, often made of metal or glass, helps you scoop up your concentrates and apply them to the heated banger without mess or waste, keeping things clean and safe.
  • Carb Cap: Placed on top of the banger, the carb cap controls airflow and traps heat, allowing your concentrates to vaporize evenly for smoother, more flavorful hits.
  • Dab Torch: Unless you’re using an e-rig, you’ll need a reliable torch to heat your banger to the right temperature for vaporizing your dabs.
  • Dab Mat: A mat protects your surface from sticky residue and accidental spills while keeping your setup tidy and organized.
  • Infrared thermometer: Measures the temperature of your banger with precision.
  • Cleaning Supplies: Cleaning brushes, cotton swabs, and a cleaning solution like Rez Relief are essential for cleaning your rig after every session.

FAQ:

What is a dab rig?

A dab rig, otherwise known as a wax rig or oil rig, is a specialized water pipe designed for vaporizing cannabis concentrates like wax, shatter, or oil. It looks like a bong, but instead of a bowl for dry herbs, it features a banger or dab nail to heat and vaporize your extract, resulting in potent and flavorful hits.

Are E Rigs Better Than Regular Rigs?

E-rigs excel in speed, convenience, and safety. On the other hand, regular rigs provide a classic, hands-on experience that some dabbers prefer for its ritualistic feel.

How Do You Select the Ideal Dab/Oil/Wax Rig?

The choice depends on your personal preferences. If you prioritize portability and durability, go for a mini dab rig or silicone rig. For flavor and smoothness, glass rigs with percolators are ideal. If you want simplicity, an e-rig is an excellent choice.

How do you properly use and maintain a dab rig?

After each session, clean the nail using a cotton swab dipped in a solution like Rez Relief to remove residue once a week. Deep clean all the parts using Rez Relief, rinsing thoroughly and letting them dry completely.

What temperature should I set my dab rig to for optimal flavor?

For the best flavor, stick to low-temperature dabbing between 315°F and 450°F. This range preserves delicate terpenes and ensures a smoother, more enjoyable pull without harshness.

Bong vs Dab Rig?

Although both are water pipes, they serve different purposes. A bong has a larger bowl for dry herbs, while a dab rig is typically smaller and uses a quartz banger designed for concentrates. It’s worth noting that a bong can be converted into a makeshift rig with the right attachments—and vice versa.
