Glass Dab Rigs & Wax rigs

What is a Dab Rig?

Let's define what a dab rig is before we get started.

A dab rig is a water pipe specifically designed to vaporize and smoke concentrates such as wax rig, crushed or oil rig.

It usually consists of a water chamber, a nail or firecracker, a dab tool, and a dab torch.

There are Several Types of Dab Oil Rigs

1:Glass dab rig

The Dab rig a water chamber that filters and cool the fumes. People often use high borosilicate glass because it can withstand high temperatures and is easy to clean. dab rigs come in different shapes and sizes and there are many unique designs in Lookah. Lookah provides all original works.

A nail is still a nail

The nail is an integral part of the dab rig, which the user can heat to evaporate the concentrate. It usually consists of quartz, titanium, or ceramic, and can be dome-free or in a traditional style.

Dab tool

The dab tool It is usually made of metal or glass, with the pointed end used for scooping and the flat end for wiping. 

Dab Torch

The dab torch heats the nail or iron nail to the desired evaporation temperature. It is important to use a specially designed butane spray gun, as other types of spray guns can be dangerous.

It is more portable than a regular pipe and will be ready to help you when you need it for business or daily travel

2:Recycler Dab Rig

The recycler dab rig is a more advanced type of dab rig that is gaining popularity among experienced dabbers. It features a unique design that recycles the water, providing a smoother and cooler hit. The rig continuously cycles the water, cooling the vapor as it travels through the chambers. This type of dab rig also impresses with its visual display as the water moves through the chambers.

3:Mini Dab Rig

The mini dab rig is a small version of the traditional dab rig, making it more compact and portable. It typically features a smaller water chamber and a shorter mouthpiece, making it easier to transport and use on the go. The mini dab rig is a great option for those who want to dab on the go or have limited space for a larger rig.

From a historical perspective, the exact origins of smoking cannabis concentrates date back to before the 20th century, but the vast majority of people believe that the practice was popularized with a hot knife in the '69s and' 70s.


Anatomy of a Dab Rig


how to use a dab rig

1: Choose a dab rig

Buy a dab rig and you can choose its appearance, like a mushroom dab rig, octopus dab rig or skull dab rig design. Pick one that you think is cool or cute..

Before you start applying, you need to set up your dab device. Fill the water chamber with enough water to cover the filter, but not so much that it splatters into your mouth when inhaled. Next, heat your nail or nail with a dab Torch until it turns red. Let it cool for about 30 seconds to a minute, depending on the thickness of your nails or bangs

2: Approximate measurement dab

Using your dabbing tool, scoop a small amount of concentrate to the tip. The size of the dab depends on your personal preference and the potency of the concentrate. It's best to start with a small dab and add more if needed.

3: Apply to nails or nails

Once your nails or curling iron has cooled down, place your dab on a heated surface. Avoid touching hot nails or nails with your fingers to prevent burns. The temperature of the nails can impact the taste and strength of the dab. Experiment with different temperatures to find the one you like.

4: Breathe in and enjoy

Using the suction mouth, inhale slowly and steadily while placing the dab on the nail or fingernail.

The concentrate will evaporate and pass through the water chamber, cooling and filtering the smoke. Breathe out and savor the strong hit.

The carb cap is a small lid that helps absorb heat and evaporate concentrate more effectively when placed on a nail. It can also help improve the taste of your dab.

Smearing might seem scary at first, but with the right tools and know-how, it can be easy and funny. Remember to be careful when handling hot surfaces and clean your dab equipment regularly to get the best results.

How to clean your dab rig?

Users commonly smoke cannabis concentrate using dab rigs, and they must clean them regularly for optimal performance. Over time, residue and build-up can build up in your dab rig, affecting the taste and potency of your dab. Properly cleaning your dab rig is essential for a smooth and enjoyable wiping experience.

First of all, why is it important to clean your own Dab equipment?

1: Preserve the flavor: Residue and buildup can affect the flavor of your small treats over time, making them taste rough and unpleasant.

2: Prevent clogs: Residue and buildup can clog your dab rig, making it difficult to use and potentially causing harm.

3: Improved effectiveness: A clean dab rig allows for better airflow, resulting in more powerful hits.

4: Extend service life: Regular cleaning can prevent damage and extend the service life of the dab rig.

So how often should we clean our dab rig?
How often you clean your dab device depends on how often you use it. If you use it every day, it's best to clean it at least once a week. If you don't use it often, you can wash it every two weeks. However, it is necessary to keep an eye on accumulation and residue and clean your dab rig when needed.

Let's start cleaning with the tools we're ready to clean!

Isopropyl alcohol: This is the most commonly used cleaning solution for dab rigs. It is very effective at breaking down residue and accumulation.

Kosher salt: Kosher salt can act as an abrasive and help remove stubborn residues.

Cotton swabs: These are useful for cleaning hard-to-reach areas.

Hot water: Hot water helps relax the residue and is easier to clean.

You use plastic bags or containers to soak your dab rig in a cleaning solution.

Rubber gloves: It's always a good idea to wear gloves when handling cleansing fluids to protect your skin.

You use paper towels to dry your dab device after cleaning.

1: dab rig cleaning

Before you start cleaning your dab rig, make sure to remove excess water and debris from the rig. You can pour the water away and use a cotton swab to remove any remaining debris.

Next, disassemble your dab rig, remove any attachments such as nails or fences, and set them aside. This will make it easier to clean each part separately.

2: Soak dab rig in isopropyl alcohol

Fill a plastic bag or container with enough isopropyl alcohol to completely immerse the dab device in water.

If your dab device is too big for a bag, you can clean it by mixing isopropyl alcohol and hot water. You should do this in a sink or tub.

Place your dab rig in a bag or container and let it soak for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the alcohol to break down residue and accumulate in your dab rig.

3: Add kosher salt and shake well

After soaking your dab rig, add a handful of kosher salt to the bag or container. The salt acts as an abrasive, helping to scrub away any stubborn residue.

Seal the bag or cover the container and shake vigorously for a few minutes. This will help relax any remaining residue and make it easier to clean.

4: Clean your Dab Rig

After shaking your dab rig with salt and alcohol, take it out and rinse it well with hot water. This will help remove any residual residue and salt.

You can also clean any hard-to-reach areas with a cotton swab, such as a dry or filter.

5: Clean the accessories

While your dab rig is soaking, you can clean accessories, such as nails or fences. Soak the items in a bag with isopropyl alcohol and salt, following the same steps as cleaning dab equipment.

6: Dry your Dab Rig

After rinsing the dab equipment and accessories, dry thoroughly with paper towels. Make sure everything is dry, including the lower rod and filter, to avoid water spots or residue from forming.

Once your dab equipment is completely dry, you can reassemble it and enjoy your next dab with a clean and fresh smelling rig.

Of course, isopropyl alcohol is not necessary to clean, you can also try to replace it with other materials.

Mix vinegar, hot water, and baking soda together in equal parts for a simple cleaning solution. Soak your dab rig in the mixture for at least 30 minutes, then rinse and let dry.

Lemon juice and salt: Mix equal parts lemon juice with hot water and add a handful of kosher salt. Soak your dab rig in the mixture for at least 30 minutes, then rinse and let dry.

You can clean your dab rig with boiling water if it is made of borosilicate glass. Place your dab rig in boiling water.

Let it sit for a few minutes. Remove it from the water. Rinse it with hot water.

If you don't like cleaning your dab rig with alcohol, here are some tips to help you clean it without alcohol:

Use hot water: Hot water can help relax the residue and make cleaning easier.

Use kosher salt: Kosher salt can act as an abrasive and help remove stubborn residues.

Soaking your Dab Rig: Soaking your Dab Rig in hot water can help break down the residue, making it easier to clean.

Use pipe cleaners: If you have a small dab rig, you can use pipe cleaners to clean the lower rod and filter.

Use a toothbrush: A toothbrush can help clean hard-to-reach areas such as braces or joints.

conclusion

Cleaning your dab rig is essential to maintain its functionality and flavor. Follow these steps to keep your dab rig clean and enjoy a smooth, tasty experience every time you use it. Remember to clean your dab equipment regularly and use a suitable cleaning solution to ensure the best results.

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 Fixed Downstem Rigs?

A fixed down stem 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.

1: Dab Nail/Banger
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 to 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 to the rig. Most of the Lookah and Tatto glass feature fixed down stems. 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 down stem. The down stem 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 from 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.

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 and will 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.

How long to heat up a dab rig glass nail or quartz bucket will depend on the kind of torch you are using and also the size of the nail/bucket. Generally, it will take a few minutes to heat up the banger. If you don't have an infrared thermometer gun to measure the temperature then it will take a little experimenting to get the temperature right. 

You want the banger to be glowing red hot. Then let it sit for around 40 seconds or so.  This should allow it to cool to the ideal temperature range. Check the consistency of your concentrates from dab to dab. If the banger is oily after the vapor has stopped coming off it then the temperature is too low. If the whole dab burned up and you only got a small amount of vapor then the temperature was too high. 

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 increases 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 consideration.

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 joint 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.
