FAQs on Dab Rigs

Q: What makes a dab rig deliver a smoother hit?

Rigs use a heated dab nail to vaporize concentrates for larger and more intense hits. This doesn't always or necessarily mean a smoother hit.

So much of what determines whether or not you'll get a smooth rip with your dab rig is the quality of the concentrates.

This rings true for glass rigs, silicone rigs, and any others you may use. Take the time to source quality and transparently produced concentrates for more potent and flavorful vapor.

Q: Does a dab rig make for a more enjoyable hit than a water pipe?

Pretty much all dab rigs are water pipes. You don't necessarily need to put water in your dab rig, but it can make for smoother, more potent, and flavorful vapor.

Q: How do you clean your dab rig?

Like many cannabis pieces, dab rigs require some isopropyl alcohol and Epsom salt to fully scrub away any lingering residue from smoking concentrates.

Also, make sure the heated nail or quartz nail has cooled fully before cleaning.

Make sure to apply with cotton swabs to avoid damaging any electric parts. You can clean borosilicate glass and quartz bangers on your dab rigs with alcohol and a soft cloth or sponge. You can also use warm water with a mild detergent.

Q: How big does a joint need to be for a smoke session that hits the sweet spot like a dab hit?

A: Joint size doesn't necessarily correlate to hitting the sweet spot when getting high. Neither does a dab. It's all about experience and honing in on what you prefer.

If you're interested in joints or dabs and of age, of course, you could try experimenting with small rips with either device to begin with and feel your way out from there.

Try paying more attention to your feelings than a specific dab size or joint size.

Q: What's the difference between a dab rig and a dab pen?

A: Dab rigs are like bongs or bubblers for concentrates, while dab pens are vape pens for cannabis concentrates.

While this is a convenient way to enjoy cannabis concentrates, it doesn't promise as hearty of a rip or intense of a high as hitting a dab rig might.

Q: What's the difference between dab rigs and oil rigs?

A: An oil rig is "a structure with equipment for drilling and servicing an oil well."

Defined here by 420 Science, "dab rigs are water pipes designed to work with cannabis concentrates like dabs and wax instead of dry herb."

The latter is the version that potheads are looking for, and it encompasses glass dab rigs, silicone dab rigs, e-rigs, mini-rigs, and more.

Q: What's a recycler rig?

A: Recycler rigs are a newer-age water pipe and dab rig design that features a two-chamber system that functions as an extra filtration center and a splash guard for bigger, smoother rips without the mess.

These elaborate rigs are definitely worth keeping an eye out for.
