A pipe designed for <\/span>vaporizing cannabis<\/span><\/a> concentrates, sometimes referred to as an oil rig, vapor rig, or concentrate pipe. Similarly to a <\/span>bong<\/span><\/a>, a dab rig filters concentrate vapor through water at the base. <\/span>In addition to the central piece, dab rigs include a glass, quartz, ceramic, or titanium platform (called a nail or banger) to hold the concentrate or \u201cdab<\/a>\u201d. Consumers also use a long, slender tool to apply a dab to the nail and a butane or propane torch lighter to heat the nail before the dab is applied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dab rigs or oil rigs require flash-heating, so be sure to use a butane torch.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\tWhat are dab rigs?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A dab rig is the chamber of a glass pipe, connected to a nail or banger, used for dabbing, in the place of a traditional bowl typically found on a bong. New dabbers may be overwhelmed at the technique, upfront cost, and number of accessories required to use dab rigs and pipes. But they may also appreciate the strong, streamlined effects and heavy terpene flavors that concentrates and dab rigs provide<\/span>. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you get the <\/span>dabbing<\/span><\/a> process down, using a dab rig can be easy and efficient. The key steps are simple: heating the nail with a torch, placing a dab of concentrate in the nail, and inhaling the resulting vapor. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The modern-day dab pipe typically includes the glass piece, a nail, a dabber, a torch, and a carb cap. Carb caps have become popular accessories because they allow the user to dab at lower temperatures and hold vapor in the nail for a longer time. If you want to find the perfect dab rig for your concentrate consumption needs, several considerations should be made before a purchase.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t
