Dab rigs are a type of water pipe, and dabbing is the act of vaporizing cannabis concentrates. The dab rig allows for quick and easy dabbing without having to use more complicated equipment like an e-rig or dab nail. In this guide, we’ll show you some of the best ways to find a dab rig that matches your style!

What is a dab rig?

The Dab rigs are a simple tool that contains a drip tray with a reservoir. The reservoir holds pre-filled e-cigarettes or dab rigs. The e-cig or rig contains an electronic cigarette that is filled with concentrate or wax. There’s also a different color for each color, like green for wax and black for concentrate.

Types of dab rigs

With so many different kinds of dab rigs to choose from, it can be hard to choose one that fits your style! Below are the different types of dab rigs:

• Glass Bongs: Glass dab rigs are just as fun to use as ceramic ones, but they tend to be more durable and can hold larger amounts of wax. Glass bongs have very thin walls that will certainly attract attention from the cops and other potheads in your local park. But, if you like the way they look, there are a few varieties of glass dab rigs that have even thinner walls that won’t even give off a hint of smell!

• Ceramic Bongs: Ceramic bongs are traditionally a clear glass or ceramic construction, but some people have found bongs that are transparent or black, depending on the trimming used.

Traditional or scientific?

A dab rig is best considered a traditional, or scientific method. As mentioned, the best way to make cannabis concentrates is using a blowtorch. Using a blowtorch is not the same as dabbing. When using a blowtorch, there is more risk of the liquid becoming exposed to flames and potentially catching on fire.

When using Dab rigs, there is always a safety cable that holds the regulator and torch in place. You should never attempt to dab with a torch without a safety cable. You can also use a dab rig if you are more experienced with cannabis concentrates and want to be able to dab while being less likely to accidentally catch fire.

Some people prefer the thought of being scientific, while others want to have a creative experience, and will opt to use a dab rig that’s a combination of both.

Glass vs. Quartz

The first thing to think about when you’re looking for a dab rig is glass, which comes down to personal preference. Quartz is the most popular and common glass and has the cleanest lines and crispiest vapor, but it’s also very expensive.

There are several other types of glass, though, like borosilicate glass (Brogals, no less!), quartz, and even gold (although that’s the most expensive). Any of these glass types can be cleaned up and refilled, which will give your dab rig a new look and a whole new layer of flavor.

E-rig or stick?

There’s a big debate in the cannabis community about whether you should use a dab rig or an e-rig. First, let’s talk about which kind of device is better. A dab rig is the thin glass pipe seen above, and it will contain the dabbing fluid.
