This can make your bong much more robust and high performing. And while an ash catcher will help keep your bong cleaner, it is also an extra component that requires a heavy-duty cleaning now and again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Diffuser downstem: <\/strong>Using a downstem with a simple diffuser at the end of it is a simple, effective way to boost the filtration power of your bong. These types of downstems feature a series of slits or holes that rest inside the water chamber. These openings diffuse smoke, creating tons of tiny bubbles and improving the overall performance of your bong.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ice Pinches: <\/strong>If you want to elevate the filtering and cooling effects of your bong, find a glass piece that has an ice pinch.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Ice pinches are fitted inside the main <a href=\"https:\/\/www.headie.com\/collections\/tubes\">tube of your bong<\/a>, above the water chamber, allowing you to drop ice cubes directly onto it. When your smoke bubbles up through the water chamber, it passes through one round of cooling and filtering, and then when it gets drawn around the ice, it receives a second, very powerful round of cooling before entering the lungs.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-block-image \">\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/180920_Bong_134.jpg?ssl=1\" data-modal-open=\"lightbox_2188\">\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/180920_Bong_134.jpg?fit=640%2C427&ssl=1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/180920_Bong_134.jpg?w=1600&ssl=1 1600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/180920_Bong_134.jpg?resize=300%2C200&ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/180920_Bong_134.jpg?resize=1024%2C682&ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/180920_Bong_134.jpg?resize=768%2C512&ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/180920_Bong_134.jpg?resize=1536%2C1023&ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/180920_Bong_134.jpg?w=1280&ssl=1 1280w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 768px) 476px, (min-width: 1218px) 772px, 100vw\" alt=\"bong ice catcher\" title=\"Click to see a larger version of the image\">\n\t\t\t<\/a><cite>Photo by: Gina Coleman\/Weedmaps<\/cite><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Ice pinches are fitted inside the main tube of your bong, above the water chamber, allowing you to drop ice cubes directly onto it.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\t\t\t<div id=\"lightbox_2188\" data-modal data-modal-hide-heading data-modal-manual-close hidden>\n\t\t\t\t<h2>Image lightbox<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/180920_Bong_134.jpg?fit=640%2C427&ssl=1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/180920_Bong_134.jpg?w=1600&ssl=1 1600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/180920_Bong_134.jpg?resize=300%2C200&ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/180920_Bong_134.jpg?resize=1024%2C682&ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/180920_Bong_134.jpg?resize=768%2C512&ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/180920_Bong_134.jpg?resize=1536%2C1023&ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/180920_Bong_134.jpg?w=1280&ssl=1 1280w\" sizes=\"100vw\" alt=\"bong ice catcher\">\n\t\t\t\t<button role=\"button\" class=\"a11y-modal__close-btn\" data-modal-close-btn>\n\t\t\t\t\t<svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"currentColor\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M13.414 12l4.293 4.293a1 1 0 01-1.414 1.414L12 13.414l-4.293 4.293a1 1 0 11-1.414-1.414L10.586 12 6.293 7.707a1 1 0 011.414-1.414L12 10.586l4.293-4.293a1 1 0 011.414 1.414L13.414 12z\"\/><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wm-article-table-of-contents-header\" id=\"glass-attachments-for-dabbing\">\n\tGlass attachments for dabbing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As dabbing cannabis concentrates continues to grow in popularity, consumers, manufacturers, and glass blowers are creating a wide range of glass attachments specifically for dabbing.

Of course, there's always the risk of dropping and shattering a glass nail. Additionally, glass nails are more prone to cracking at high temperatures after repeated use. As a result, if you opt for a glass nail, be prepared to replace it at some point when it breaks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Glass domes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Although domed nails are becoming less popular among dabbers, some dab rigs still require the use of a dome. These components are designed to slide over the top of a hot nail to help retain and distribute heat, ensuring that vapor doesn't escape before you pull it through your rig and inhale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite their waning popularity, glass domes are a solid option for some dabbers because they are relatively affordable and effective. However, as with glass nails, there's a higher chance that a glass dome will break compared with domes made out of other materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Oil reclaimers<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>An oil reclaimer is a glass attachment that fits between the nail and the water chamber, where it collects runoff concentrate as well as any concentrate that condenses out of the vapor. After enough reclaim builds up, you can either scrape it out or apply gentle heat until it melts and drips out of the reclaimer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interestingly, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thedablab.com\/the-dab-lab-blog\/what-is-reclaim-oil-what-to-do-with-it-and-how-to-use-it\/\">lab tests<\/a> have found that reclaimed oil retains much of its original potency, typically between 40% to 50% THC. Additionally, because reclaimed oil has already been heated, it's fully decarboxylated, making it ideal for cooking and baking applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Drop down adapters<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Glass attachments called drop down adapters are seen as an excellent way to preserve your dab rig,&nbsp; keeping intense heat away from the main body of your rig. These attachments typically angle downward and away from your rig, utilizing a female joint into which you slide your nail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By angling the nail away from your rig, flames are pointed away from the glass body, helping to protect and preserve its useful life. Of course, as with any glass attachment, adding a dropdown adapter into the mix means you have another fragile glass component to keep clean and handle with care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Glass carb caps<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As domed nails have fallen out of favor, they have been replaced by larger-dished nails and the use of a carb cap. After heating the nail and dropping a dab of concentrate, simply rest your carb cap over the top of the nail. This creates an enclosed chamber of hot air to retain and distribute heat for a more even dab, which is especially useful at lower temperatures. Carb caps are made out of a few different materials, including glass and titanium.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-block-image \">\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/CRTV-1331_Dab-Rigs_25.jpg?ssl=1\" data-modal-open=\"lightbox_2103\">\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/CRTV-1331_Dab-Rigs_25.jpg?fit=640%2C427&ssl=1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/CRTV-1331_Dab-Rigs_25.jpg?w=1600&ssl=1 1600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/CRTV-1331_Dab-Rigs_25.jpg?resize=300%2C200&ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/CRTV-1331_Dab-Rigs_25.jpg?resize=1024%2C682&ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/CRTV-1331_Dab-Rigs_25.jpg?resize=768%2C512&ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/CRTV-1331_Dab-Rigs_25.jpg?resize=1536%2C1023&ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/CRTV-1331_Dab-Rigs_25.jpg?w=1280&ssl=1 1280w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 768px) 476px, (min-width: 1218px) 772px, 100vw\" alt=\"glass quartz nail banger carb cap\" title=\"Click to see a larger version of the image\">\n\t\t\t<\/a><cite>Photo by: Gina Coleman\/Weedmaps<\/cite><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">After heating the nail and dropping a dab of concentrate, simply rest your carb cap over the top of the nail.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\t\t\t<div id=\"lightbox_2103\" data-modal data-modal-hide-heading data-modal-manual-close hidden>\n\t\t\t\t<h2>Image lightbox<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/CRTV-1331_Dab-Rigs_25.jpg?fit=640%2C427&ssl=1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/CRTV-1331_Dab-Rigs_25.jpg?w=1600&ssl=1 1600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/CRTV-1331_Dab-Rigs_25.jpg?resize=300%2C200&ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/CRTV-1331_Dab-Rigs_25.jpg?resize=1024%2C682&ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/CRTV-1331_Dab-Rigs_25.jpg?resize=768%2C512&ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/CRTV-1331_Dab-Rigs_25.jpg?resize=1536%2C1023&ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/CRTV-1331_Dab-Rigs_25.jpg?w=1280&ssl=1 1280w\" sizes=\"100vw\" alt=\"glass quartz nail banger carb cap\">\n\t\t\t\t<button role=\"button\" class=\"a11y-modal__close-btn\" data-modal-close-btn>\n\t\t\t\t\t<svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"currentColor\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M13.414 12l4.293 4.293a1 1 0 01-1.414 1.414L12 13.414l-4.293 4.293a1 1 0 11-1.414-1.414L10.586 12 6.293 7.707a1 1 0 011.414-1.414L12 10.586l4.293-4.293a1 1 0 011.414 1.414L13.414 12z\"\/><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n<p>For added functionality and cost-effectiveness, choose a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.headie.com\/collections\/tools-essentials\">carb cap\/dabber combination tool<\/a>.

Glass adapters are an excellent choice as they are relatively affordable, clean, functional, and reliable. Of course, the only major downside is that glass is prone to breakage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Glass adapters come in virtually any configuration, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Mixed diameters to connect components and joints of different sizes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A variety of angles to create different positions and configurations among your other components.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Male-to-male joints, male-to-female joints, female-to-male joints, and female-to-female joints so you can link up virtually any two components regardless of the configuration of their connections and joints.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Bubbler chamber attachments<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on your smoking device of choice, you may be able to add a water chamber to bolster the smoke filtration process. These glass attachments fit somewhere between the bowl where you ignite your herb and the mouthpiece, causing the smoke to filter through the water before reaching your lungs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Nectar collectors<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Also called \u201cdab straws\u201d or \u201choney collectors,\u201d nectar collectors provide concentrate lovers with a simple way to consume without an entire dab rig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These tools are relatively straightforward, consisting of a tip made of quartz or titanium; a body made out of glass or silicone that may also include a water chamber, percolator, or oil reclaimer; and a straw-shaped mouthpiece through which you inhale the vapor. To use a nectar collector, you simply heat the tip and drag it across a dab of concentrate while inhaling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While tips are usually made out of quartz or titanium, the other components of a nectar collector are widely available in glass.
