What is a Wax Rig?

A dab oil rig, sometimes called an oil rig or wax rig, is a water pipe or dab bong used to smoke concentrates such as legal wax, plant oils, and extracts. 

Oil rigs come in many shapes and sizes but are typically around 7 to 9 inches tall. There are mini rigs that are the perfect option for smoking on the go and larger pieces that give an impressive presence and are as much art as smoking kits. 

 

There are Several Types of Dab Oil Rigs

Dab rigs can come in a few different forms. There are simple Dab staws AKA nectar collectors, classic banger hangers, and complex recyclers rigs with multiple chambers or percolation tubes.

What are Nectar Collectors?

Also known as dab straws, a nectar collector is a stunning portable type of dab rig that makes it easier than ever to enjoy your sweet nectar while out and about. 

These handy smoke tools can come in a variety of materials. The best bit is they are all effortless and straightforward to use. Inspired by nature's own nectar collectors, they are the latest buzz in the dabbing community.

Some Nectar collectors may also feature a glycerin coil or section. The glycerin parts can be frozen, and when the hot vapor passes through, it will cool it down, so it's smoother on the lungs. 

What are E-Rigs?

Electronic dab rigs are a new kind of vaporizer that uses electrical power heat and vaporizes your concentrate. This means you can dispense with the torch and bangers because, at the touch of a button, these smart devices do all the work for you. They are fabulous inventions that bring easy precautions to your dabbing world. Check out more details in our portable E-rigs category. 

What is a Recycler Rig?

Recycler dab rigs are a premium type dab wax rig that uses a series of pipes and water chambers to create a feedback loop. This means the same vapor can pass through filtration multiple times before being inhaled. With venturi chambers and propeller percs, these cool rigs keep the water circulating in a whirlpool effect. As the smoke is pulled through the recycler chamber, the water is cycled back into the percolator. 

This allows you to take hug dabs and enjoy a more flavorsome dab without harsh hits on your lungs. 

What are Fixed Downstem Rigs?

A fixed downstem rig is often more durable as the percolation point is fixed in the bottom of the rig. This allows the rigs to have a lower profile and be more compact. These types of rigs are often called banger hangers.

What are Wax Rigs with Percs?

When it comes to dabbing, filtration is a big deal, especially if you like big rips. To melt larger dabs quickly, you need a bigger banger or nail and also more heat. That heat is great, but it can be like a harsh blast of desert air on the back of your throat as your suck in a lung full of vapor. To address this, you need a rig with a good level of percolation. The percolation forces the vapor through water which cools it down before it reaches your mouth and removes a lot of the harshness resulting in a smoother hit. 

Anatomy of a Dab Rig

Anatomy of a Dab Rig

1: Dab Nail
The dab nail should withstand very high temperatures; often, quartz is the favored material for this. There are different types of nail designs, and they can be made from other materials. 

2: Joint
The Joint is the part where the nail connects into the dab rig. Joints can be male or female in gender and come in different sizes, measured in millimeters. Some joints may be at 90 degrees like in this image, and others could be 45 degrees. It is essential to check this so your banger fits correctly and sits level which will maximize the surface area for melting wax. 

3 Downstem 
The down stem is the pipe that connects the joint into the rig. Most of the Lookah and Tatto glass feature fixed downstems. The end of the downstream usually has a slotted percolator.

4: Base
A large, sturdy base provides a strong foundation and prevents the glass from being knocked over easily. It also provides an excellent place to hold the rig when using it. 

5: Water Chamber
The water chamber is where the vapor travels to when it comes out of the downstem. The downstem will typically have a percolator on the end of it that is housed in this chamber. This provides filtration and further cooling. 

6: Neck
Vapor travels out of the water chamber and through the neck. A longer neck can provide more cooling to take place. Some necks are slightly bent to prevent any splashback of water rising from the chamber as you inhale.  

7: Mouthpiece
This is the part you inhale the vapor from after it has passed through the wax rig.


How to Use a Dab Rig?

When you're dabbing, you're not technically smoking; you are inhaling the vapor. An oil or wax rig aims to vaporize the concentrate rather than burning the flower or herb, such as using a bong or smoking a pipe or rollup. 

You will need your wax or oil, a water pipe/rig, a nail, a butane blow torch, a dab tool, and a carb cap. 

1). Add some herb concentrate to your dab tool. 

2). Heat your nail with the dab torch until it's red hot, then wait 10-40 seconds for it to cool a little. 

3). Apply the chosen herb concentrate on the nail.

4). As soon as the concentrate hits the nail, draw from the mouthpiece. This pulls the vapor being produced from the nail into the rig. A carb cap can be put on top of the banger/nail to direct and control the airflow. 

Like a bong, many dab rigs feature percolators or recyclers to cool the vapor. You want the vapor to pass through the apparatus as quickly as possible to avoid losing potency. 

5). The cooled vapor then reaches the mouth and is inhaled. The result is a pleasing and smooth hit.

 

What to Look for in a Dab Rig

There is a lot to consider when buying a dab oil rig. Selecting the correct size rig, the percolator type, as well as style and look. While a small rig is more comfortable to handle, a larger one can cope with heat more dissipating it over a larger area so it won't get as hot. Smaller is sometimes better. Oil and wax are stickier than dry herb, tobacco, or other legal plants. This stickiness means that when there is more glass between the mouthpiece and downstem, the vapor has to travel further to lose more flavor. 

Percolation provides a smoother hit by providing a cooling effect. There are several different percolators. The more complex ones can offer better cooling, ideal for higher temperature hits. Still, they are also more time-consuming to clean. 

Two and four-hole percolators are preferable because they cool off the dabs without chopping up the water too much. 

Not all glass joints are the same, and they typically come in three main sizes, 10, 14, and 18 millimeters. Each joint can be male or female. The joints' size determines the airflow, and the gender will indicate what type of nail to buy. 

 

High-Temperature Dabbing Versus Low-Temperature Dabbing

Temperature is essential when extract vaping because it has a profound effect on the flavor and intensity. The higher the temperature, the more intense. 

Like most things when it comes to dabbing, the temperature is a personal preference. 

The nail needs to be around 315°F to start releasing the terpenes from your concentrate, and the goodness keeps on coming as the temperature increases.

However, once the temperature reaches 440 °F, you're in danger of scorching. As the temperature increase beyond this, the vapor becomes hotter and harsher. This is where having a water bubbler to cool down the vapor is beneficial, but high-temperature hits can still be too harsh for some. 

High-temperature dabs are suitable for the impatient who want a heavy, dense hit and a more intense vapor. While you'll feel the effects more, it comes at the expense of flavor. When the concentrate is vaporized at a higher temperature, it muddies the flavor. The mellow and sweeter notes can become harsh and bitter. It can be that higher temperature hits reduce you to a coughing fit. 

Low-temperature dabs require a bit more skill in controlling the heat. Still, you'll experience a broader flavor spectrum, so if you've got your hands on a tasty strain, you'll get the fuller flavor. You will also take longer and smoother hits, but some concentrate may be left behind. 

When dabbing, you need to consider the type of nail or banger you will use. Dab nails can be with a dome or domeless nails. They can be titanium nails, ceramic nails, quartz nails, or glass nails. Each has advantages and disadvantages that need considering.

How to Choose a Dab Rig?

When dabbing first broke into the mainstream, dabbers often changed the bowls from large water pipes with a dab nail and called it a day.

But over the years, dab rigs have developed their own style, significantly changing them from the larger beaker bongs. Dabbers started trading in the big straight tube water wipes for dab rigs half the size or smaller. 
These smaller dab rig kits may not have the same physical presence as larger pieces, but they often sport more artistic and intricate designs, which leads to their premium price. 

Before you rush to buy a dab rig, there are a few things you should consider. Firstly, will you need a recycler dab rig, or will a standard banger hanger do?  A recycler rig's extra cooling could be a massive benefit if you are after more significant vapor clouds and like higher temp dabbing. 

If you have an e-nail or other accessories, take note of the join size - you want your new glass to fit your favorite nail or banger. Otherwise, you'll end up having to fork out for an extra one.  Finally, consider the color, style, and design of the glass. Does one of those artistic pipes with bulging eyes or horns call out to you? How about the honey bee pipe with its rich decorations, or maybe you've settled on a sandblasted pipe with a geometric design? Whatever your preference, we are sure you can find the perfect dab rig kit to suit you best on our Lookah online headshop.
