What is a Dab Rig?

Dab rigs, also known as oil rigs, weed rigs, dabbing rigs or wax rigs, are specialized type of water pipes designed to vaporize cannabis concentrates like oils, wax, shatter, and more.

It’s usually a glass smoking device that kinda looks like a bong. The difference is that your rig is for smoking oils or wax concentrates. Most dab rigs have a main “rig” and an attachment known as a “nail.” These wax rigs exhibit diverse materials, shapes and sizes, averaging 7" and 9" in height.

The dab rig diffuses heat efficiently and avoids over-filtering, providing the smoker with a smoother dabbing experience while maximizing the pure and rich flavors of the concentrates.

Dab rigs aren't picky. They're down for whatever concentrate you're into – shatter, crumble, live resin, you name it. So, no matter your preference, a dab rig will have your back.

How Does a Dab Rig Work?

Dab rigs work by heating concentrates using a torch, vaporizing them. The vapor is then pulled through water in the rig chamber, cooling and filtering it before being inhaled.

A dab rig has many pieces, each mandatory for the dabbing experience.

Anatomy of a dab rig:

Mouthpiece: Where you inhale the vapor.

Nail or banger: The heating bowl where you place the concentrate.

Usually made from quartztitanium, or ceramic, which can handle the higher temperatures of a torch.

Water chamber: Holds water to cool and filter vapor.

Joint: Connects the banger to the rig body.

Neck: Vapor travels out of the water chamber and through the neck. A longer neck can provide more cooling.

Most necks are slightly bent to prevent water reaching your mouth as you inhale.

Factors to Consider When Buying a Dab Rig

There is a lot to consider when buying a wax or dab rig, including size and portability, material, Percolation and Filtration, style and the look, etc.

1. Material

Different types of dab rigs are made from various materials, such as borosilicate glass, which is the top choice for wax or dab rigs.

Glass dab rigs provide superior flavor, aesthetic and percolation, but can be more fragile and costly when compared to their silicone counterparts.

On the other hand, silicone dab rigs offer more durability and affordability, making them a popular choice for those on a budget or in need of a more portable option.

2. Size and Portability

Smaller rigs are generally better for concentrates because they allow for quick vaporization and more intense flavors.

Larger rigs, on the other hand, offer more water filtration, which can cool the vapor for smoother hits.

Consider where and how you plan to use your rig—if you need something portable, a mini rig might be the best choice, while a larger rig might be ideal for at-home sessions.

3. Percolation and Filtration

The type of percolator in your rig can significantly affect the smoothness and flavor of your dabs.

If you prefer more filtration, look for rigs with intricate percolators like honeycomb or showerhead percs.

For minimal drag and maximum flavor, a simple inline or recycler rig might be more your style.

4. Style and Design

Consider the color, style, and design of the glass dab rig.

Does one of those artistic dab pipes with bulging eyes or horns call out to you?

How about the honey bee pipe with its rich decorations? Or you've settled on a sandblasted pipe with a geometric design.

With our vast assortment of sizes, designs, and themes, we will surely have something to fit every customer.

5. Electric or Manual

While some smokers cherish the traditional ritual of meticulously heating bangers with a torch and savoring the precision timing it entails.

Modern smokers are increasingly embracing the convenience, efficiency, and unparalleled portability offered by electric dab rigs.

6. Joint Type and Size

Not all joints are the same, Dab rigs typically come with joint sizes of 10mm, 14mm, or 18mm.

The joint size determines the compatibility with nails, bangers, and other accessories. It also determines the amount of airflow, the bigger size, the stronger hits.

Additionally, make sure to choose the right joint type—male or female—depending on the nail or banger you plan to use.

7. Accessories and Add-Ons

A Dab Rig requires a few essential accessories to use it, and you’ll usually have to buy these separately.

This usually include a Butane TorchCarb Cap, dabber or dab tool, a glass or Silicone Wax Jar, and more.

Lookah provides a diverse array of dab tools tailored to enhance your dab rig experience.

How to Use a Dab Rig?

If you’ve got your rig and you’re ready to try smoking dabs, here are your step-by-step directions on how to dab.

Dabbing might initially seem scary, but it can be straightforward and rewarding with the right tools and know-how.

Remember to be careful when handling hot surfaces and clean your dab equipment regularly to get the best results.

Step 1: Add Water to Your Dab Rig

You need to add the correct amount of water to your device to get the best performance.

Too little water will cause the rig to not cool the vapor; too much water will result in splashback in your mouth.

Usually, the water needs to be just above the holes in the percolator for the wax rig to perform correctly.

Step 2: Heat the Nail/Banger

Heat your nail or banger with a dab torch until it glows red hot.

Let the banger/nail cool for about 30 to 60 seconds.

If you have an infrared thermometer gun, you can check the temperature. The temperature should be between 315 and 550°F.

Getting the temperature right can take a little trial and error as it depends on the marital and thickness of your banger/nail.

Step 3: Measure Your Dab

Scoop a small amount of concentrate onto the tip of your dabbing tool.

The size of the dab depends on your preference and the concentrate's potency.

It's best to start with a small dab and add more if needed.

Step 4: Apply To Nails Or Banger

Once your nail or banger is at the preferred temperature, place your dab on the heated surface.

To prevent burns, avoid touching hot bangers or nails with your fingers.

The nail temperature can impact the dab's taste and strength.

Experiment with different temperatures to find the one you like.

Cover the dab with your carb cap to retain heat and manage airflow.

Step 5: Inhale And Enjoy

Once the dab becomes vapor, inhale slowly and steadily from your rig's mouthpiece.

As the concentrate vaporizes, it will pass through the water chamber, cooling it.

How Much Is a Dab Rig?

Dab rigs can cost anywhere from 50 dollars to 600 dollars or more, but it all comes down to the item's size, the materials, and the skill or craftsmanship to make them.

Glass blowers who are well-known for their craft can create intricate and beautiful glass rigs that can be sold for thousands of dollars.

Glass blowing is an art form, and those who are masters in this skill make pieces that are as many pieces of art as they are functional dabbing devices.

The glass dab rigs from Lookah are premium but more affordable, with prices of around 70 to 200 dollars. Especially our Big Mom range that under $100 will interest you a lot.

These small portable dab rigs made from high-quality borosilicate glass offer affordability without sacrificing functionality: quartz banger and good filtration.

Dab Rigs FAQs

  • Can you Smoke Kief through A Dab Rig?

    Yes, it is possible to smoke kief through a dab rig. You just put it onto the hot nail and let it vaporize.

    Since kief still contains burnable plant matter, it will ignite in your banger and ruin it.

  • Can you Use A Dab Rig As A Bong?

    Briefly, it is theoretically possible to use a dab rig as a bong (water pipe), but they are designed to vaporize marijuana concentrates, not to smoke dry herb or shredded leaf.

    Smoking with a dab rig may affect its performance and efficiency. It can alter the taste of your products when you mix them.

  • Do Dab Rigs Get You Higher?

    Wax and other dabs contain anywhere from 60% to 90% THC. Contrast this regular marijuana flowers or buds, typically anywhere from 10% to 25% THC.

    Since dabbing involves consuming concentrated forms of cannabis, the high you get from dabbing is typically stronger than the one you get from smoking flower.

  • Do Dab Rigs Smell?

    Yes, dab rigs emit an herby, plant-based odor when used, mostly from terpenes in concentrates.

    However, they don't smell like flower does when it's smoked. Dabbing emits much less odor than smoking marijuana.

  • How Long to Heat Up a Dab Rig?

    In general, you should watch for a color change when using a torch (Torch) to heat a Nail or Banger.

    When the Nail or Banger begins to change color (usually from clear to red or orange), it means it is hot enough to begin using.

    This process can take anywhere from a few seconds to tens of seconds, depending on the power of your torch and the material of the Nail or Banger.

    Then, let it sit for about 30 to 40 seconds. This should allow it to cool to the ideal temperature range.

  • How Much Water Do You Put In a Dab Rig?

    It is common to add about half to two-thirds of water to the dab rig's water bong. This provides adequate cooling and filtration.

  • What Comes In A Dab Rig Kit?

    A dab rig kit typically includes:

    1. Dab Rig: The main device for vaporizing or smoking cannabis concentrates, available in glass, silicone, or electric designs.

    2. Quartz Banger/Nail: For heating the concentrate, known for clean taste and heat retention.

    3. Carb Cap: Controls airflow for efficient vaporization after concentrate is applied.

    4. Torch Lighter: Used to heat the nail or banger in traditional rigs.

    5. Dab Tools: For handling concentrate and maintenance, such as dabbers, scoops, and cleaning supplies.

    6. Water Pipe Components: May include percolators for filtering and cooling smoke/vapor.

    7. Dab Mat: Protects surfaces and provides a clean workspace.

    8. Accessories: Can include reclaim catchers, ISO stations, and instructional materials.

    9. Vaporizer Pens: Portable, rechargeable, and compatible with flower and dab extracts.

    The kit's contents can vary by manufacturer and specific offerings, ranging from basic to comprehensive with various accessories.

  • What is Dabbing?

    Dabbing is a method of consuming cannabis concentrates through vaporization, which can be done with traditional dab rigs or portable dab pens.

    Referred to as “dabs,” these marijuana concentrates usually look like dark brown or yellow-colored wax and can feel very sticky and gummy.

    Marijuana dabs are used by vaporizing the concentrates on a hot surface and inhaling the resulting fumes.

    When you're dabbing, you're not technically smoking; you are inhaling the vapor.

  • What is the Best Dabbing Temperature? Low or High temp?

    Temperature is essential when extracting vaping because it affects the flavor and intensity.

    The higher the temperature, the more potency, but slightly decreased flavor. While low temp dabs may provide a less intense effect, but it provide more flavor.

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

    We suggest you get an infrared thermometer gun to measure the temperature.

    The nail or banger should be around 315°F to release the terpenes from your concentrate, and the goodness will continue to come 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.

    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 suit 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 need more skill in controlling the heat. Still, you'll experience a broader flavor spectrum, so if you've got a tasty extract, you'll get a fuller flavor. You will also take longer and smoother hits.

  • What's The Difference Between Bongs And Dab Rigs?

    Although Dab Rigs and Bongs have very similar makeup, they are used for two different things!

    Dab rigs are used to vaporize concentrates, while Bongs are used for smoking flowers and herbs!

    In addition, Dab Rigs usually have a nail/banger than bongs that might have a bowl.
