Once you get down the basics of using your</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">dab rig,</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">there are certain methods you can incorporate and steps you can take to make your</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">dabbing</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">experience even more amazing.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">1. Always Use Gloves</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Concentrate oils are slimy. And touching these oils with bare hands can transfer bacteria from your skin to the oil, causing dilution or contamination.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When you’re ready to smoke, wear gloves to keep your oils contaminant-free.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">2. Use A Dedicated</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Dab Rig</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">While you can use an attachment for your water pipe to smoke concentrate oils, the residue from the dry herbs smoked in your water pipe can taint the clean flavor of your hit.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The best option is to have a dedicated</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">dab rig</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">so you can enjoy the full flavor without having to deal with any potential aftertastes.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">3. Turn Down The Heat</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you or someone you know has had a bad</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">dabbing</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">experience, there’s probably a reason. Experienced unpleasant tastes or chest discomfort? We almost guarantee you’re</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">dabbing</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">at too high of a temperature.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Allowing your</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">dab</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">nail to cool following the heating process is a critical step. When the nail is too hot, the concentrates can combust, leading to a very unpleasant inhalation process. High temperatures can even eliminate the compounds that create the smell and flavoring you paid for.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To avoid these issues, always allow your nail or banger to cool after heating it.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">4. Use A Carb Cap</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A carb cap is a carburetor for your</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">dab rig</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">. It restricts the amount of airflow to your nail, thus allowing you to collect the last of your oil to punctuate the end of your hit. By capping your nail, you’re basically restricting the airflow into the rig. This reduced airflow places your rig under low pressure, lowering the boiling temperature of your oil and giving you a bloom of thicker, better-tasting smoke.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">5. Utilize A</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Quartz Nail</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Or Banger</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In order to get the best taste from your</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">dab rig</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">, try using a</span> <a href="https://www.thickassglass.com/collections/quartz-nails"><span style="font-weight: 400;">quartz banger</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">or nail</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. These provide an intensely clean and pure taste when used with your favorite concentrates.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Quartz nails and bangers are also much more durable than glass nails. A banger extends from your dab rig, protecting the rig from the heat of the torch and preventing potential cracks.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">6. Clean Your</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Dab Rig</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Frequently</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To get the most potent hits, your</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">dab rig</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">needs to be clean. And the more frequently you clean it, the easier it will be to clean.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When your</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">dab rig</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">is squeaky clean, you’ll be able to taste your oil concentrates even better, without the lingering taste of old concentrates.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">7. Upgrade Your</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Dab Rig</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">An easy way to make your experience even more amazing is to upgrade to a </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">dab rig</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">with a percolator. This sub chamber allows the smoke being created to interact with water and lower the temperature. This ensures a cooler, smoother smoke.</span></p>

We’ve created an all-inclusive glossary to help you figure out what all our different</span> <a href="https://www.thickassglass.com/collections/water-pipes"><span style="font-weight: 400;">water pipes</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">,</span> <a href="https://www.thickassglass.com/collections/oil-rigs"><span style="font-weight: 400;">dab rigs</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, and accessories are and what they do. If you’re ready to become an expert in glass, read on!</span></p>
<br />
<p><a href="https://www.thickassglass.com/collections/ash-catchers-1"><b>Ash catcher</b></a><b>:</b> <span style="font-weight: 400;">a piece within the</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">water pipe</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">that catches ash and helps maintain the cleanliness of the pipe. They are especially helpful if percolators are being used.</span></p>
<br />
<p><b>Banger:</b> <span style="font-weight: 400;">a type of dab nail with a dish further separated from your</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">dab rig</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">, which ensures that your rig’s joint is less likely to be damaged due to excess heat.</span></p>
<br />
<p><b>Beaker Base:</b> <span style="font-weight: 400;">the wide, beaker-shaped base of a</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">water pipe</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">. More stable than a straight pipe and great for beginners!</span></p>
<br />

<p><b>Bowl:</b> <span style="font-weight: 400;">the external part of a water</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">pipe</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">or</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">dab rig</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">used to place and combust your product of choice.</span></p>
<br />
<p><b>Bubbler:</b> <span style="font-weight: 400;">a small,</span> <a href="https://www.thickassglass.com/collections/bubblers-1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">hand-held</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">water pipe</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
<br />
<p><b>Carb cap:</b> <span style="font-weight: 400;">a cap most commonly attached to the end of a domeless nail. It manipulates air flow to create a lower temperature smoke or vapor.</span></p>
<br />
<p><b>Chamber:</b> <span style="font-weight: 400;">refers to the different internal spaces of a</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">water pipe</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">, such as the water chamber or recycling chambers.</span></p>
<br />
<p><b>Chillum:</b> <span style="font-weight: 400;">a straight pipe with an end-to-end channel and no choke.</span></p>
<br />
<p><b>Choke (Carb):</b> <span style="font-weight: 400;">a small hole that regulates airflow. To close the hole and allow smoke to fill the chamber, simply press your finger to it.</span> <b> </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">Then remove your finger and continue inhaling to clear all the smoke from the chamber.</span></p>
<br />
<p><b>Dabber:</b> <span style="font-weight: 400;">used to scoop and press your desired oil against the heated surface of your</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">dab rig</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">. They are generally made of stainless steel, glass, or titanium.</span></p>
<br />
<p><b>Dab e-nail:</b> <span style="font-weight: 400;">an electronic nail. They use heating coils and connect to e-nail capable domeless nails, which can be made of quartz, titanium, or even silicon carbide.</span></p>
<br />
<p><b>Dab nail:</b> <span style="font-weight: 400;">like a bowl, the nail is what you heat to put your concentrates on and feeds the resulting smoke/vapor into your</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">dab rig</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">or</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">water pipe</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
<br />
<b>Dab rig:</b> <span style="font-weight: 400;">a type of water pipe made especially for smoking oils.</span><br />
<p><a href="https://www.thickassglass.com/collections/dome-nail"><b>Dome:</b></a> <span style="font-weight: 400;">a small piece that goes on top of a nail. It helps capture and hold vapor until you are ready to inhale. They are generally made of glass, titanium, or quartz.</span></p>
<br />
<p><b>Diffuser (Percolator):</b> <span style="font-weight: 400;">a filter used to force the hot smoke or vapor through the cool water inside your pipe and, in turn, cool down the smoke or vapor to give you a smoother hit. Some diffusers are simple, with only one hole located at the bottom of a removable downstem or fixed stem. Others are more complex, such as honeycomb discs, which can have hundreds of holes and create high levels of diffusion (lots of bubbles) for extremely smooth smoke.</span> <b> </b></p>
<br />
<p><b>Drag:</b> <span style="font-weight: 400;">how easy or difficult it is to inhale smoke from a pipe. Some percolators with massive diffusion can cause a large amount of drag.</span></p>
<br />
<p><b>Dropdown:</b> <span style="font-weight: 400;">an accessory that creates space between the glass joint and the nail (or other accessory) you are using for your</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">water pipe</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">or</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">dab rig</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span> <b> </b></p>
<br />

<p><a href="https://www.thickassglass.com/collections/downstems"><b>Downstem</b></a><b>:</b> <span style="font-weight: 400;">a long glass tube near the base of a water pipe that extends from the pipe’s joint into its main chamber. Some are diffused, meaning they have small holes at their base used to diffuse the smoke without the use of a separate percolator.</span></p>
<br />
<p><b>Hammer:</b> <span style="font-weight: 400;">refers to the hammer-like shape of a pipe or percolator within a</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">water pipe</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
<br />
<p><b>Healthstone:</b> <span style="font-weight: 400;">a porous, ceramic material that can be used in place of a standard glass, titanium, or quartz nail or dome. Works well with concentrates.</span></p>
<br />
<p><b>Hemp wick:</b> <span style="font-weight: 400;">a healthier, natural alternative to gas or butane lighters. Many users say that, because of the lack of fumes, using a hemp wick to light concentrates leads to a cleaner, tastier hit.</span></p>
<br />
<p><b>Herb iron:</b> <span style="font-weight: 400;">a ceramic heating element used as an alternative to gas or butane lighters. It’s a safe option that heats up and cools down quickly.</span></p>
<br />
<p><b>Herb grinder:</b> <span style="font-weight: 400;">used to grind herbs into a finer texture, which makes your product last longer and gives you more satisfying hits.</span></p>
<br />
<p style="float: left;"><b><img alt="Water Pipe With Honeycomb Disc" src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0235/4119/files/honeycomb-disc_compact.jpg?v=1526044225" style="float: left; margin-right: 20px;" /></b></p>
<p><b>Honeycomb disc:</b> <span style="font-weight: 400;">a kind of percolator common in stemless</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">water pipes</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">that aerates the water and allows for a smoother hit.</span> <b> </b></p>
<br />
<p><b>Ice Pinch:</b> <span style="font-weight: 400;">a pinched section near the base of many stemmed</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">water pipes</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">where ice is held. The purpose of adding ice is to cool the smoke and allow for a smoother hit; this trick is highly recommended for beginners.</span> <b> </b></p>
<p><a href="https://www.thickassglass.com/blogs/enlightenment/guide-to-incyclers"><b>Incycler:</b></a> <span style="font-weight: 400;">a type of recycler that has the water funnel chamber suspended inside of the first chamber, rather than two separate chambers. Some incyclers use small holes within the drain funnel to recycle the water rather than an external tube. </span></p>
<br />
<p><b>Joint:</b> <span style="font-weight: 400;">the part of the</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">water pipe</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">where a bowl or other accessory connects. Some of the most common joint sizes are 10mm, 14mm, and 19mm. Joints can be either “male” or “female,” with male being better for concentrates and female being preferable for herbs. Be sure to buy the right size for your particular pipe or rig!</span></p>
<br />
<p><b>Mouthpiece:</b> <span style="font-weight: 400;">a removable cap you can attach to the top of a</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">water pipe</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">or oil rig; it helps prevent the spread of germs when sharing with friends.</span></p>
<br />
<p><b>Oil:</b> <span style="font-weight: 400;">legal, commonly essential oils. You would most likely smoke these using a dab rig.</span> <b> </b></p>
<br />
<p><b>Percolator (Diffuser):</b> <span style="font-weight: 400;">a filtration device inside a</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">water pipe</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">. They force hot smoke or vapor through the cool water inside your pipe using bubbles and, in turn, cool down the smoke or vapor to give you a smoother hit.</span> <b> </b></p>
<br />
<p><b>Piece:</b> <span style="font-weight: 400;">slang for a</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">water pipe</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">or</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">dab rig</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>

But if you’ve never used one before, it can be confusing and even dangerous to use a</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">dab rig</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">without knowing and understanding the right way.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Today, we’ll take you through the basics and break down the process into nine easy-to-follow steps. Let’s get started.</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">First, A Definition</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A</span> <b>dab rig</b> <b>(also known as an</b> <b>oil rig</b><b>)</b> <span style="font-weight: 400;">is very similar in appearance and design to a glass water pipe. However,</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">dab rigs</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">are designed specifically for the consumption of oils.</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">What You’ll Need</span></h3>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Dab rig</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Dabber (wand)</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Rag or alcohol swab</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Dab nail</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hand torch</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Bowl of water</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tongs</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Oil concentrate</span></li>
</ul>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Step 1: Water The Chamber</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Begin by adding water to the chamber of your</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">dab rig</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">. Try blowing into the downstem to ensure that you’re able to make the water bubble, if water splashes up into your mouth, pour some out.</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Step 2: Season Your Nail</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You’ll always want to season a quartz or titanium dab nail. Brand-new nails are made of fresh materials that contain trace elements of a multitude of natural minerals (metals). When heated, the dab nail’s pores will leach out these metals. So a nail left unseasoned can emit an unpleasant metal taste into the vapors you’re about to inhale. Seasoning a nail helps to fill the pores with carbon from burnt oils, therefore stopping the leaching.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To season, place the nail in the rig and heat it with your hand torch until you start to see the nail turn red. Then, use your dabber to apply essential oil concentrate over the nail’s head. Once the it fully coats the nail, use tongs to remove the nail and place it into a bowl of water. Repeat this process at least three times before using your new nail for the first time.</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Step 3: Prep Your Dab</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Take your dabber (also known as a wand) and pick up a small amount of herbal concentrate.. Remember, a little goes a long way with this method of consumption. Set this aside for a minute.</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Step 4: Heat The Nail</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Take your hand torch and heat up the nail, making sure that the flame is pointed away from the</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">dab rig</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">at all times. Otherwise the heat may crack the glass. Heat until the nail is red hot. Once the nail stops glowing, wait for about 45 seconds.</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Step 5: Wait</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We wait until the nail is entirely red hot in order to ensure a reliable starting point for our timing. Once the nail is no longer red hot, it signifies that a certain temperature has been reached in which we can consistently count down in order to get the same optimal temperature every time. The exact amount of time you’ll need to wait will vary depending on your preference, oil rig and nail. Feel free to experiment the first time and you’ll hone the wait time the more you practice. You should always wait at least 10 seconds. Some users find that they’ll get better dabs if they wait 20-30 seconds before moving on to the next step.</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Step 6: Place Oil On Nail</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">After your nail has cooled slightly, pick up your wand and place the oil around the nail. You’ll want to slowly rub the end of the wand containing the oil around the interior edges of the nail. While doing this, pull air through the chamber, making the water bubble as the vapors are produced.</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Step 7: Inhale Through The Mouthpiece</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You will see the vapors filling the glass as the concentrate melts. Inhale the flavorful herb as it comes out of the downstem. Continuously inhale until you no longer see vapor in the chamber of the</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">dab rig</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Step 8: Exhale And Repeat</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Once the vapor is clear, lower the rig and exhale. Continue to heat the nail and insert oil as many times as desired.</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Step 9: Clean The Wand And Nail</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Take the hand torch and heat the end of the wand that touched the wax. It should only take a second of heat in order to melt away the residue. Wipe clean with a rag or alcohol swab while the residue is warm and easy to remove.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There are two popular ways to clean your nail so that it won’t harbor any sticky residue film.</span></p>
<p><b>Option 1</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">: Heat your nail with the torch until all residue is eliminated.</span></p>
<p><b>Option 2 (Quartz Only)</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">: This method is to be used only for low-temperature dabs. Immediately after inhaling, take a Q-Tip and dip it into Isopropyl alcohol. Use it to clean the inside of your banger. Then use the other side of the Q-Tip to wipe the banger dry. This is a very popular method that will ensure the longevity of your quartz nail, maximizing flavor as well.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">With time and practice, you’ll get better and truly hone your skills until these steps become almost second nature.</span></p>

<p>Plus, cleaning your water pipe often will ensure nothing messes with the flavor of your vapor.</p>
<p>If you use your water or glass pipe on a regular basis, it's recommended that you change out the water after every use. Some signs that you might need to give your water pipe a more intensive clean include:</p>
<ul>
<li>A film-like residue on the inside</li>
<li>Discolored or smelly water</li>
<li>Resin build up</li>
<li>Specks starting to appear on the walls of the pipe</li>
</ul>
<p>Learn how to clean a water pipe and what tools you'll need to keep your water pipe like new.</p>
<h2>Tools for Cleaning a Water Pipe</h2>
<p>To clean your <a title="best water pipe" href="https://www.thickassglass.com/collections/water-pipes">water pipe</a>, there are several basic tools you'll need. Most of these you might already have around the house. These items include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Pipe cleaner</li>
<li>Q-Tips</li>
<li>Rubbing alcohol</li>
<li>Salt</li>
<li>Water</li>
<li>The water pipe you wish to clean</li>
</ul>
<h2>How to Clean a Water Pipe - Step by Step</h2>
<p>Now that you have the tools needed you are ready to start cleaning your water pipe. Follow these steps to keep your water pipes clean.</p>
<h3>Step 1</h3>
<p>Begin the cleaning process by pouring salt onto the stem and the bowl of your water pipe. Make sure to not pour so much salt that rubbing alcohol will be blocked from passing through.</p>
<h3>Step 2</h3>
<p>Now that the water pipe has the salt added, pour in the rubbing alcohol. Plug the mouthpiece and joint of the water pipe then lightly shake to combine the two.</p>
<h3>Step 3</h3>
<p>Rinse out the salt and rubbing alcohol mixture with warm water. Use the pipe cleaners or Q-tips on the harder to reach areas of the water pipe if residue or build up is still present.</p>
<p>If there is still significant build up after this step, consider soaking your water pipe in a rubbing alcohol bath overnight. Soaking your water pipe overnight will help clean the harder to reach areas like the bowl and slides.</p>
<h3>Step 4</h3>
<p>Rinse with water again, and then you are done with the cleaning process. And most importantly, you are ready to use your water pipe!</p>
<h2>Keeping Your Water Pipe Clean In Between</h2>
<p>Your water pipe is now shiny and like new! If you use your water pipe regularly, it's recommended to use this cleaning method once a week. Also rinse your pipe with hot water after each use to make sure it stays relatively clean in between cleanings with the rubbing alcohol and salt method.</p>
<p>By taking good care of your water pipes and using this cleaning method, you can keep your pipe in top shape, no matter how much you use it.</p>

<p>There are many different kinds of <a title="shop dab nails" href="https://www.thickassglass.com/collections/dome-nail">dab nails</a> available for new or experienced dabbers to use with their dab rigs.</p>
<p>Learn the major differences in dab nails, the pros and cons of these differences, and which one is best for you.</p>
<h2>Domed vs.Domeless Dab Nails</h2>
<p>One of the most noticeable differences, even if you are new to dabbing, is whether a dab nail is domeless or domed.</p>
<h3>Domed Dab Nails</h3>
<p>Some of the benefits of using a domed nail along with your oil rig include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Great for individual use because no vapor is wasted.</li>
<li>Cheaper than their domeless counterparts.</li>
<li>The domed sides trap vapors, so vapor is more potent.</li>
<li>The attached dome creates a safer way to dab.</li>
</ul>
<p>One of the major cons of the domed nails is the amount of time it takes for the dab nail to heat up. The longer the dab nail takes to heat up, the longer the dabbing process could be delayed.</p>
<h3>Domeless Dab Nails</h3>
<p>Meanwhile, domeless dab nails have no sides to them. With this design comes a specific set of benefits:</p>
<ul>
<li>Allows for bigger dabs.</li>
<li>Faster heating compared to domed dab nails.</li>
<li>Reduces the risk of burning the oil.</li>
</ul>
<p>There are cons for this dabbing system too. The main one being that this dab nail design is more intended for experienced dabbers, due to the quick heating abilities. Plus, you lose more vapor unless you use a separate carb cap.</p>
<p>If you are new to dabbing, you may want to consider starting with a domed nail for your dab rig and then working your way up to a domeless design.</p>
<h2>E-nails vs. Standard Dab Nails</h2>
<p>The major difference between <a title="electronic nails" href="https://www.thickassglass.com/collections/e-nails">e-nails</a> and standard dab nails is that e-nails don't rely on a butane torch to heat up the nail.</p>
<p>Short for “electronic nails,” e-nails typically feature a controller box that delivers heat to the nail through a coil. The controller box lets you easily — you guessed it — control the temperature. So it eliminates guesswork.</p>
<p>E-nails require heating coils to connect to e-nail capable domeless nails, which can be made from quartz, titanium, and even silicon carbide.</p>
<p>E-nails are an excellent way for ensuring the concentrate reaches a consistent temperature. While these dabbing accessories are considerably more expensive than standard dab nails, if you plan on dabbing regularly, then this might be a good investment for you.</p>
<p>Because e-nails can remain at the ideal temperature for hours, they’re an excellent choice for enjoying multiple dabs in a row, and prevent you from burning oil on the nail.</p>
<p>When using an e-nail, you'll need to make sure you monitor it closely because of the high-temperature used to operate.</p>
<p>If you are an experienced dabber who is looking for a way to do multiple dabs and know how to work an <a title="best oil rigs" href="https://www.thickassglass.com/collections/oil-rigs">oil rig</a>, an e-nail would be a significant step up for you and your dabbing routine.</p>
<h2>Titanium vs. Glass vs. Quartz vs. Ceramic Dab Nails</h2>
<p>Besides the differences in the design of the dab nail and how to heat the nail, these dabbing accessories are made from a lot of different materials.</p>
<h3>Titanium Dab Nails</h3>
<p>This option for dab nails has been around since the beginning of the dabbing craze. It's easy to see why this material is a popular option for a dab rig because of its unmatched durability.</p>
<p>Besides being durable, titanium will also heat up quickly and consistently, which are two crucial components to dabbing.</p>
<p>The most significant negatives to using a <a title="titanium dab nail" href="https://www.thickassglass.com/collections/dome-nail/products/2-titanium-nail-grade-2">titanium nail</a> are that if you choose a lower-grade titanium, you run the risk of titanium oxide building up on the dab nail, which might be harmful for both you and your dab nail.</p>
<p>Plus, the titanium may interfere with the flavor.</p>
<p>If you are a person who doesn't want anything interfering with the flavor, a titanium nail may not be for you.</p>
<h3>Glass Dab Nails</h3>
<p><a title="best glass dab nails" href="https://www.thickassglass.com/collections/dome-nail/products/14mm-glass-nail">Glass dab nails</a> are another popular option among the dabbing community. These dab nails are great for not interfering with the flavor. Plus, they are one of the easiest types of dab nails to clean.</p>
<p>However, glass dab nails are not best for withstanding high levels of heat and may break easily. Unless you are extremely careful with your dab nail, you might have a short lifespan for your glass dab nail.</p>
<h3>Quartz Dab Nails</h3>
<p>If you liked the sound of the benefits of the glass dab nail but didn't want to risk the easy breakage, a <a title="quartz dab nail" href="https://www.thickassglass.com/collections/quartz-nails">quartz nail</a> might be the perfect one for you.</p>
<p>The quartz mineral offers the same benefits of the glass nails, but the mineral is heavy-duty and offers more durability.</p>
<p>Some of these quartz nails hang off the side of the nail, which is often referred to as a <a title="quartz dab banger" href="https://www.thickassglass.com/collections/quartz-nails/products/tag-quartz-banger-high-air-flow-super-thick">dab banger</a>.</p>
<p>One significant negative of quartz nails is that they will cool off fast. If you are using this material for your dab nail, you'll have to be quick so the dab nail won't cool off too much.</p>
<h3>Ceramic Dab Nails</h3>
<p>Last but not least is the ceramic dab nail, this material is similar to the glass dab nail. Just like the glass one, ceramic dab nails are easy to clean. This option is also considerably fragile.</p>
<p>High-quality ceramic dab nails are not likely to break from high-heat, but be careful not to drop them.</p>
<h2>The Best Dab Nail</h2>
<p>There are many different types of dab nails available on the market today, each with their own set of pros and cons.</p>
<p>To recap, here are the factors you'll want to consider:</p>
<ul>
<li>Whether a domed or domeless design better suits your dabbing preferences.</li>
<li>If an e-nail is worth the initial investment.</li>
<li>What dab nail material is best suited for your dabbing routine. Choose between standard materials like glass, quartz, ceramic, and titanium.</li>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The great thing about</span> <a href="https://www.thickassglass.com/collections/water-pipes"><span style="font-weight: 400;">water pipes</span></a> <span style="font-weight: 400;">is they come in all different sizes and types. From tall, monstrous water pipes that stand at over three feet to small, portable and easy-to-manage water pipes, they all elicit a different experience.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For example, let’s say that you’ve recently just purchased a small, simple beaker water pipe. The instructions for this one are pretty easy: add water, add your substance of choice, grab a lighter and smoke away. Other water pipe combinations may have accessories like ash catchers, drop downs, dab nails and more that may be a little daunting to take in all at once.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Don’t sweat it. We’ll walk you through it. First, we’ll explain two different types of water pipes and their various parts.</span></p>
<br />
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Different Water Pipes: Stemless Water Pipes vs. Stemmed Water Pipes</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">While the water pipes shown here look drastically different from each other, you’ll find the steps it takes to use them are basically the same. Still, you might need to understand the different parts to get what we’re talking about.</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Stemless Water Pipe Example</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Let’s start by first dissecting this</span> <a href="https://www.thickassglass.com/collections/water-pipes/products/16-double-honeycomb-water-pipe-7mm-thick-w-spinning-splashguard?variant=16344290053"><span style="font-weight: 400;">16-inch water pipe</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. This awesome device is made up of many components, like the spinning disc splash guard. The neck, sitting slightly above the splash guard, is made of an impressive 50x7MM of Thick Ass Glass. </span></p>
<br />
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As you move down the water pipe, you’ll find two honeycomb discs, which are a kind of percolator. The small holes aerate the water as you inhale. The purpose of this part is to allow for a smoother and more enjoyable hit.</span></p>
<br />
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Another important part of this stemless water pipe is the 16MM thick base. This base will keep your water pipe standing sturdy on your desk, table or nightstand.</span></p>
<br />
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Stemmed Water Pipe Example</span></h3>
<br />
<p><a href="https://www.thickassglass.com/collections/beakers/products/12-beaker-with-ice-pinches-50x5mm-18-14mm-downstem"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Beaker water pipes</span></a> <span style="font-weight: 400;">like this stemmed example are more suited for first-time glass pipe owners. The reason is their wide base. With a beaker base, you get a large circumference base that will be sturdy for any table or desk and therefore easier to use.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The beaker water pipe shown here also has a diffused downstem. A diffused downstem is a downstem that has little holes in the bottom to diffuse the smoke without a separate percolator. Diffusion is literally the smashing or dividing of bubbles, increasing the surface area. The more surface area of the bubbles, the cooler your smoke will be.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Lastly, this water pipe features an ice pinch. If you’re a newbie, we’ll let you in on an age-old trick for smoother hits: adding ice. Adding ice cools down the smoke so that it doesn’t burn. The ice pinch holds the ice above the water line, where it can best cool the smoke. It’s an awesome addition for beginners!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Now that you understand these common water pipe parts, it’s time to start using them.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">How To Set Up Your First Water Pipe</span></h2>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Inspect the glass pipe</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Locate the removable pieces, such as the bowl</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Insert the bowl into the opening (stemless or downstem)</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Add water — enough to cover the percolators but not too much</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Test out water levels by taking practice pulls. If the water reaches your lips, you have too much!</span></li>
</ul>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">How To Use Your Water Pipe</span></h2>
<ol>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Insert your bowl into the downstem and add your herb of choice</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Light your herb with a lighter or hemp wick</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Place your lips over the mouthpiece at the top of the water pipe, and slowly inhale</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Remove your bowl, and take another hit to clear out all the smoke remaining in your water pipe</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Take as many more hits as you like!</span></li>
</ol>

The short answer is that a dab rig is a type of water pipe — but it’s designed specifically for smoking oils or concentrates.</p>
<p>While water pipes in general have a long- established history among the smoking community, dab rigs specifically are more of a recent trend and a peek into the future of smoking.</p>
<p>Both are great options to invest in, but depending on your smoking preferences, you'll have a clear choice among these two popular smoking accessories.</p>
<p>Learn the major differences between dab rigs and water pipes and which one is right for your smoking preferences.</p>
<h2>It’s All About What You'll Be Smoking</h2>
<p>First, you need to consider what you'll be smoking with this pipe. Smokers who use water pipes primarily use them to smoke tobacco, dried herbs or flowers.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, if you are using a dab, also known as an oil rig, you'll be using a legal concentrate along with wax, oil, or honey. To use the dab rig, you'll heat up whatever you choose as your concentrate on the dab nail to vaporize it.</p>
<h2>Dab Rig vs. Water Pipe Parts and Accessories</h2>
<p>Just like how you'll be smoking different things with these items, dab rigs and water pipes have different parts to help you do so.</p>
<p>Water pipes will use the traditional bowl piece along with a lighter to help you smoke the dried flowers, herbs or tobacco.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, dab rigs use a <a title="dab nails" href="https://www.thickassglass.com/collections/dome-nail">dab nail</a> instead of a bowl piece. You’ll need to heat the dab nail with a torch to help you vaporize what you'll be smoking.</p>
<h2>Size Comparison</h2>
<p>Another noticeable difference between these two systems is the overall size of water pipes compared to dab rigs. There's a reason for this difference in size, and not just appearances. Water pipes tend to be larger with more room for holding multiple percolators within the device. This is because, when smoking dry herbs and flowers, you don't have to worry about them losing potency. You could have a water pipe the size of a room and not worry about the dried flowers or herbs losing their flavor as they travel.</p>
<p>Dab rigs are the exact opposite. Because dab rigs are used for smoking concentrates, you want the vapor to reach your lips as soon as possible for the best smoking experience.</p>
<h2>Overall Cost</h2>
<p>Obviously, dab rigs and water pipes will vary in their prices based on how elaborate you want to get with your smoking accessories. While water pipes and dab rigs have relatively similar costs, you'll want to remember that more accessories might be needed for your dabbing system.</p>
<h2>The Best Water Pipe or Dab Rig for You</h2>
<p>Ultimately, the choice of whether you use a water pipe or dab rig is up to you. Again, before you purchase a new pipe or rig, you'll want to consider:</p>
<ul>
<li>What you'll be smoking.</li>
<li>The parts involved with each system.</li>
<li>Overall size, especially if you have limited storage space.</li>
<li>The cost of the water pipe or dab rig itself and whether accessories will need to be added later.</li>
</ul>

<p>When it comes to dab nails, <a title="quartz bangers" href="https://www.thickassglass.com/collections/quartz-nails">quartz bangers</a> are all the rage these days! With the explosion of concentrates onto the scene, we have seen more and more sales of this product. Now, our name is Thick Ass Glass, and we specialize in glass. But even we love quartz bangers. There are many reasons you might prefer a quartz banger over another type of dab nail, including durability, heat resistance, and easy cleaning. Check out our top quartz bangers below.</p>
<h2><br />
QUARTZ BANGER - HIGH AIR FLOW</h2>
<p><br />
Take this <a title="Quartz Banger" href="https://www.thickassglass.com/products/tag-quartz-banger-high-air-flow-16x2mm-4mm">high air flow quartz banger</a>. You get the high quality of the TAG brand, the benefits of quartz and the added air flow for a better hit. This quartz banger is available in a variety of sizes. From 10MM to 18MM and in both male or female presets.</p>
<h2><br />
QUARTZ TROUGH - HIGH AIR FLOW</h2>
<p><br />
As an evolution of the high air flow, the <a title="trough quartz banger" href="https://www.thickassglass.com/products/tag-quartz-trough-high-air-flow-super-thick">trough quartz banger</a> leaves more room for concentrates. The opening of the banger is cupped to extend the amount of concentrate that you’ll be able to use. That makes it extra efficient, and it still comes at an affordable price. The quartz on this banger is FDA approved quartz crystal. It comes in sizes ranging from 10MM all the way up to 18MM. You also have the option of choosing either a male or a female piece.</p>
<h2>CONICAL PYRAMID QUARTZ BANGER</h2>
<p>This quartz banger has a special knack for holding heat longer. Since you’re looking at purchasing a banger, you know that you have to use a torch to heat up any dab nail, then apply the concentrate. Most of the time, you may be rushing with the torch and other pieces to get the perfect hit. With this quartz banger, you can stop rushing! It stays hot longer, so you can relax and enjoy the process. The <a title="conical pyramid quartz banger" href="https://www.thickassglass.com/products/tag-conical-pyramid-quartz-banger-holds-heat-longer-high-air-flow">conical pyramid quartz banger</a> has a quartz thickness of 2MM.

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you’re reading this maybe you’ve never bought a water pipe before. Maybe you’re looking for all of the valuable information you need to make a smart purchase of your very first water pipe. Good news, this is where all that valuable information lies. Within these words are lessons that you can hold dear for a lifetime. From first steps to potential after-thoughts, we cover all of the basics and more.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Price of the Water Pipe</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Just like anything else, the price is the main factor whenever you're purchasing something. Look at your bank and determine what kind of shopping you’ll be doing. While it’s fun to window shop, it’s best to go in with a budget. You can find fairly quality pieces for a lower budget, if you’re looking to spend that hard earned cash as a reward to your self, pay close attention to our bells and whistles section. Determine your budget and move forward.</span></p>
<br />
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Will This Be For Dry or Concentrate Usage? </span></h2>
<br />
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Now that we have our budgets laid out, let’s talk about the different types of glass pipes you could potentially come across. Water pipes can be divided into two categories, water pipes for dry usage and water pipes for concentrate usage. If you are using the latter, then you’ll also want to look for a few other things like quartz bangers and nails. If it’s the former, the simplicity of the water pipe will still be intact. Take a moment and think about which category you fall in. (Quick hint, you can fall into both categories - you’ll just need a water pipe that’s adaptable.) After you’ve got that figured out, let’s move into the more granular details.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">What Size Water Pipe Is Best For You?</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Water pipes come in all different shapes and sizes. Which one will work best for you? This is an internal question to ask yourself. Are you looking for a tall skyscraper water pipe? Or an averagely sized water pipe? While height is a factor in size, the size of female or male piece is important as well. If you are looking to use your water pipe with concentrates, make sure to purchase the correct size female or male banger and/or nail.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Additional Bells and Whistles For Your Water Pipe</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Thankfully, we don’t live in the stone ages. Today, water pipes come with a wide variety of bells and whistles that make it easier for you to smoke. Take percolators, for example, they help to filter the smoke to make it nice and smooth. Other bells and whistles that you should look for if you are within budget are splash guards,</span> <a href="https://www.thickassglass.com/collections/recyclers-1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">recyclers</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, and honeycomb percolators. Splash guards keep the water from splashing into your face while recyclers are another addition to filter smoke. Keep your eyes open, most percolator designs look crazy! Once you move through the additional features, make the final decision. Is this the water pipe you want? With Thick Ass Glass, you’ll be able to keep it for years to come.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When you’re choosing an oil rig or dab rig, the first thing to consider is quality. But if you’re buying from Thick Ass Glass, you’re already covered there. So the next thing to figure out is the size and shape. There’s no right or wrong choice, but the oil rig or dab rig you choose will affect how you can use it — specifically, what accessories will work and how much you can smoke at once. Read on to find out what questions to think about.</span></p>
<h2><b>Is The Joint For Your Dab Rig Male or Female</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">No, we aren’t talking about the joint paper you use. We’re talking about the joint shape of a dab or oil rig. The joints can be either male or female, and they also come in various sizes. Now, this is not a sex education class, but the concept is basically the same. The male joint piece can go inside of a female joint piece, and a female joint piece can slide over a male joint piece. It’s not too hard to see if the joint piece you’ve selected is a male or female. You’ll just have to look at the “parts.” If you are using a female joint piece, then all your accessories must be male pieces, and vice versa.</span></p>
<h2><b>What’s The Proper Joint Size For Your Dab Rig?</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">After you find out the sex of the joint piece you need for your dab rig, take a moment and look at the actual circumference of the hole. All joint sizes are not created equal, but every joint size is created for a purpose. Take a look at the advantages of the different sizes below, and find the right size for your dab rig.</span></p>
<br />
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">10MM Joint Size</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You may never encounter the 10MM joint size for dab rigs, but just so you know, it exists. This joint size is rare, but it has a special purpose for specialized water pipes. In some cases, this one is known as the nano joint or the mini joint.</span></p>
<br />
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">14MM Joint Size</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The 14MM joint size is a more commonly seen joint size among dab and oil rigs. These joint sizes are perfect because they aren’t too big and they aren’t small either. If you’re not sure what size joint you currently have, there is a trick you can use. Place a dime on the opening of the hole; if it doesn’t fit, it’s a 14MM joint size.</span></p>
<br />
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">18MM Joint Size</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The 18MM can fit a dime, and it’s normally meant for larger dab rigs. This is also a very common joint size that can hold a lot at one time.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Knowing the size of your joint will also help you find the correct size downstem. We can teach you all about downstems another time. For now, just remember: If it’s made by Thick Ass Glass, it’s built to last.</span></p>
<h2><b>Choosing The Right Dab Rig</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The world of water pipes is at your fingertips. Whether you’re a beginner or an expert, you’ll find a wide variety of options, including different sizes, percolators, and downstems.

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">What is a glass recycler? No, it’s not some cool recycling project from your local elementary school. Instead, it’s a revolutionary, easier way to inhale smoke. Glass recyclers “recycle” the smoke in additional chambers. While older and more traditional water pipes have been known to leave you coughing, these new aged futuristic glass recyclers will leave you feeling smooth.</span></p>
<br />
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Benefits of Glass Recyclers</span></h2>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Smooth Hits</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The way the glass</span> <a href="https://www.thickassglass.com/collections/recyclers-1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">recycler</span></a> <span style="font-weight: 400;">water pipes “recycle” smoke makes it easier to clear. Without a recycler, you may experience the harsh and hot smoke of a more traditional water pipe. So how does it “recycle”? Once you start to inhale, the smoke begins a filtration process. Often, there are percolators that help the smoke to become more refined. It is pulled through the percolator and then put into another chamber that rids it of bubbles. As a result, a glass recycler water pipe provides a smoother hit.</span></p>
<br />
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Cooler Hits</span></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Yes, you may look cooler if you use a glass recycler. Especially one with the TAG log on the side. But here, we’re talking about the temperature of the smoke. With traditional glass water pipes, the smoke only comes into contact with the water once, so it’s still hot when it hits your lungs. Say goodbye to that burning sensation with glass recyclers. In contrast to older water pipes, glass recyclers run the smoke past water again and again for a much cooler hit.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Thick Ass Glass is the place to go when you’re looking for a reliable and durable glass recycler.

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">What is a quartz banger, you’re wondering? A quartz banger is a type of dab nail made of quartz. If you didn’t pay attention when the teacher was talking about rocks and minerals, then here’s a quick refresher. Quartz may look like glass, but it isn’t. Quartz is another type of mineral or crystal. It’s actually one of the most abundant minerals on the earth’s surface. And quartz bangers have a range of benefits compared to glass and titanium nails.</span></p>
<br />
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Durability of A Quartz Banger</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">One of the best things about quartz bangers is that they will last you a long time. In fact, quartz is said to be one the most durable minerals. It’s used for its hardness properties in many industries. This makes quartz bangers more durable than either a glass or a ceramic type nail banger. The durability factor alone could be a great reason to look into getting a quartz banger.</span></p>
<br />
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tasteless! Quartz Bangers Are Tasteless!</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Another huge reason quartz bangers have gone viral in the last few years is that of their tastelessness. When you get pure quartz, which we have, then you get quartz made from pure silica sands, so there are no other chemicals released from the quartz when you heat it. This allows you taste only what you put in it.</span></p>
<br />
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Quartz Bangers Are Heat Resilient</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On top of being so durable overall, quartz bangers are also very resistant to heat. Even if you use them daily, don’t have to worry about the quartz breaking from the heat of the torch. You can get your quartz banger red hot without worry.</span></p>
<br />
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Quartz Banger Are Easy to Clean</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Another benefit of the quartz is that, while it can take high heat, for the most part, quartz bangers can be used effectively with relatively low heat. After using your banger with low heat, it’s very easy to wipe away the remains. Unlike other devices, clean-up is so easy you should always have a piece that looks like new. Most folks will clean the banger with a Q-Tip when finished.</span></p>
<br />

As an experienced dabber, you know that the right tools can make or break a good dabbing session, and that quality tools make for a better dab.</p>
<p>So when you're looking at 30% off the entire store at TAG, with everything from dab rigs to <a href="https://www.thickassglass.com/collections/ceramic-concentrate-accessories" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">ceramic nails</a> and quartz bangers to dabbers on sale, you're going to come out a winner. Here are just a few highlights for folks who love the dabbing scene:</p>
<h2>Quartz Bangers</h2>
<p><img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0235/4119/files/tag-big-banger_medium.jpg?v=1512063215" alt="TAG big quartz banger" align="right" />One of the beautiful things about TAG is that we don't just stock "the same old" when it comes to smoking and dabbing accessories. A prime example we should talk about here is probably the <a href="https://www.thickassglass.com/products/tag-quartz-banger-high-air-flow-30x2mm-3mm" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">TAG 30x2mm Quartz Banger</a>. Now, it's important to note that this is a freakin' big banger.</p>
<p>If you're new to the dabbing game, we probably would recommend AGAINST such a huge banger, but seasoned pros asked for this particular bucket, and TAG provided. Not only is this thick, high quality quartz... it's also laser engraved with the TAG logo. And hey, who can doubt the words of TAG customer Felixe B., who notes, "It's lit".</p>
<p>Yes Felixe. It is.</p>
<p>Quartz bangers aren't always the same old at TAG, as we noted. A good example might be the <a href="https://www.thickassglass.com/products/tag-quartz-trough-high-air-flow-super-thick" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">TAG Quartz Trough High Flow Banger</a>, a super thick, completely fantastic "trough shaped" banger that is simply going to change your dabbing style forever. This is FDA Grade Quartz crystal at its best, or as customer John S. puts it, "Way better than any of the headshop quartz I've had and for a lot less money."</p>
<p>We like your attitude, John.</p>
<h2>Dabbers</h2>
<p>Let's face it... A dabbing enthusiast without a decent dabber/carb cap combo is like a knight without a sword - good looking, brave and tough - but frankly not getting much done. Fortunately, TAG provides the arsenal for any dabbing knight, and we'll start with the <a href="https://www.thickassglass.com/products/3-titanium-carb-cap" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">3" Titanium Carb Cap with Dabber</a>.</p>
<p>If you have a domeless nail already, there really is no better dabber than this, a Grade 2 Titanium monster with a ball point that is always available to help you grab your sweet, sweet legal concentrates. This is a hugely popular item at TAG with over 26 customer reviews, but we think that "Carl" says it all when he notes, "The dabber unscrews from the cap and can be mount on top or on the side depending on your preference. Like most TAG products this carb cap is a solid buy."</p>
<p><img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0235/4119/files/slyme-quartz-dabber_medium.jpg?v=1512063249" alt="TAG Quartz trough dabber" align="right" />Now, for those with a taste for Quartz dabbing tools, you're definitely going to want to check out both the <a href="https://www.thickassglass.com/products/tag-quartz-banger-ufo-disc-cap" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Quartz Banger UFO Carb Cap</a>, and if you happened to purchase the trough banger above, the gorgeous <a href="https://www.thickassglass.com/products/tag-4-quartz-trough-carb-cap-dabber" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">4" Quartz Trough Carb Cap Dabber</a>. For the former, this is one of the cheapest carb caps available and fits most Quartz bangers out there, so you can pretty much consider this a somewhat universal carb cap.</p>
<p>The latter item, meanwhile, is a dabber that just screams "Dab Power!". This beauty is available as both clear and Slyme Quartz, and as Nick L notes, "It works perfectly, makes my trough from TAG work like a completely different nail."</p>
<h2>Your New Dab Rig</h2>
<p><img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0235/4119/files/9.5-showerhead-perc_medium.jpg?v=1512063277" alt="TAG dab rig with showerhead perc" align="right" />Well, since you're at TAG shopping already, doesn't it just make a ton of sense to pick yourself up a handy, dandy new dab rig? We think so... and our recommendation here is the <a href="https://www.thickassglass.com/products/fixed-showerhead-froth-diffuser" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">9.5" Fixed Super Slit Showerhead Froth Diffuser Dab Rig</a>. First of all, this is a dab rig that can be had in its second quality version, with a glass nail (or a slide if you order the female version) for under $45.</p>
<p>Now, you did not read that wrong. Forty five bones for a beautiful, 5mm thick rig with a classic and effective showerhead perc. This one diffuses very nicely, according to Luke K., who states that this rig, "works mad nice." We'll take it, Luke K!</p>
<p><strong>Get Going!</strong></p>
<p>Now, it would be a great thing if TAG's holiday sale was all year long, but sadly it is not. You only have until December 19 to get this solid gold savings, so now is NOT THE TIME TO PROCRASTINATE! Get to it, friends, while the getting is very good.</p>

Many people like to keep their hobbies private, and when you're talking smoking, you're probably talking about some kind of stigma involved. Hence, when you enjoy legal herbs and concentrates for either recreational or pain management, you might not want the universe to know.</span></p>
<p><span><img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0235/4119/files/smoke-smell_large.jpg?v=1512672838" alt="" align="right" />There are certainly eye drops you can get to minimize the redness but smell of smoke is one of those things that’s a bit harder to cover up. People who smoke tobacco run into the same issue: the smell can cling. It clings to your hair, your clothing, your shoes, vehicle; anything. There are ways to manage and minimize the smell while still enjoying your hobby to the fullest. Maybe you need to manage it for work or maybe you just don’t like the smell of it yourself. Whatever your reason, here are some handy tricks for you to try.</span></p>
<p><strong><span>When It’s On Your Person</span></strong></p>
<p><span>Having the smell of legal herbs clinging to your clothes can dampen anyone’s mood. You don’t necessarily want to broadcast to your office what you do on your spare time and maybe you just want to save yourself the sermon from a conservative relative.</span></p>
<p><span>The best option to remove the smell from your clothes, skin and hair is to have a shower and change your clothes. Sounds simple, right? It might be simple but it’s not always doable. If you’ve had a hit while on your lunch break you don’t want to smell of it when you get back to work. So what can you do?</span></p>
<p><span>A lot of the same things people who smoke tobacco do:</span></p>
<ul>
<li><span>Brush your teeth right after smoking. If you can, chew some gum. This will help remove the smell from your breath.</span></li>
<li><span>Lotions and body sprays can help cover up the odor on your skin and clothes in a pinch.</span></li>
<li><span>Essential oils can also do this, but they are more powerful so require you to be a bit stingier with their usage.</span></li>
<li><span>Going outside to bask in the sun helps a lot. The UV rays neutralize odors so maybe take a toke in the beginning of your lunch break and go for a nice 30-45-minute walk outside afterwards.</span></li>
<li><span>If you’ve got hair on the longer side, tie it back. When you’re done having a smoke, let it down so that the air can help diffuse the smell over all your hair.</span></li>
</ul>
<p><strong><span>In The Air</span></strong></p>
<p><span>The place you probably smoke the most is in your house. It’s your space and you should feel comfortable in it. That doesn’t mean your guests are going to share the same sentiments. If you’ve got friends or family popping by you probably want to show them your home at its best. It’s even more important to deal with the lingering smell and smoke in the air if you have pets or small children at home.</span></p>
<p><span>You can deal with the smell in the air with something as simple as an air purifier. These things work to remove <em>all</em> smells from the air. This will help remove the smell from the air as well as any carpet, upholstery and walls. It won’t be odd to have this in your house because more and more people are using them just to have fresh air in their homes.</span></p>
<p><span>Another option is to use a home-made device called a “sploof” or “doob-tube”. You simply take an empty toilet paper or paper towel roll and stuff it with dryer sheets. When you’re ready to exhale, do so into the tube and it will filter the smell and smoke for you. There are more advanced versions of this tool because even though you can make it yourself, you’ll probably go through quite a few.</span></p>
<p><span>You could also try vaping with <a href="https://www.thickassglass.com/collections/oil-rigs">a dab rig</a> if you really want to keep the smell from the air. There are vaporizer pens that you can get which can help with this. Since you aren’t actually combusting your legal herb or concentrate, the smell that gets emitted is nowhere near as strong as smoke. You can also leave your material in your vape pen and won’t have to worry about the smell leeching into your clothing. It’s a pretty solid win.</span></p>
<p><strong><span>Go Outside</span></strong></p>
<p><span>It’s pretty straightforward: the best way to keep the smell minimal and not allow it to settle onto your furniture or body is to smoke in a nice, well-ventilated area. The outdoors fits this the best. It’s understandable that you might not be able to make this work, however.</span></p>
<p><span>Not everyone has a private backyard where they can enjoy themselves without potentially bothering the neighbors. The same could be said against sitting in the window sill and exhaling outside. Yeah, the smell isn’t in your house, but that doesn’t mean it hasn’t drifted into someone else’s pad.</span></p>
<p><strong><span>Fight Hard</span></strong></p>
<p><span>One thing to keep in mind is that candles and air fresheners do a great job of <em>masking</em> smells, but they don’t necessarily remove them. Their scents will fade as well and sometimes they don’t mix too well with the scent of your hobby. Stronger smells will always overpower weaker ones, so you could always consider cooking with garlic or something with a powerful scent to help overpower the smells you don’t want other people to notice.</span></p>
<p><span>Hopefully the tips we’ve laid out for you will help make your life a little easier and allow you to enjoy yourself without stressing about potentially reeking afterwards. Because, really, if your hobby is stressing you out then it’s not doing it’s job.</span></p>

Collecting Water Pipes & Dab Rigs<p>When you have a hobby that requires more than one piece of gear, it’s really easy to get caught up in collecting. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with that, friends. When it comes to recreational legal herbs there are many glass pipes that can not only add to your collection <em>and</em> serve a different functional purpose. This makes it pretty seriously easy to justify hitting up your wallet for another piece.</p>
<p><img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0235/4119/files/9.5-showerhead-perc_large.jpg?v=1512063277" alt='12" water pipe with matrix diffuser' align="right" />Different situations call for <a href="https://www.thickassglass.com/products/tag-14-streamline-fixed-8-arm-tree-beaker-50x7mm-18-14mm-downstem">different water pipes</a> and it’s nice to be able to handle anything that gets thrown your way. But there’s a difference in assembling a huge collection just for the hell of it, and creating somethign special. There are some basics you should think about in order to round out what you’ve got. We’ll walk you through what pieces are a must for any avid collector.</p>
<p><strong>Basic is Best</strong></p>
<p>If you’re into the herbs and smoke on a regular basis you’ll want to ensure you’re stocked with a basic water pipe <a href="https://www.thickassglass.com/products/16-double-honeycomb-water-pipe-7mm-thick-w-spinning-splashguard">like this</a>. While there are many cool designs out there that work pretty awesome as a conversation starter, if you’re smoking alone that doesn’t really matter.</p>
<p>It’s a smart idea to have your basic water pipe be made of scientific glass and to try to keep the size under 15”. <a href="https://www.thickassglass.com/collections/water-pipes/products/tag-12-beaker-9mm">This glass beaker pipe</a>, as an example, will let you see the amount of smoke and water inside which will help you control your hits.</p>
<p>Basic water pipes should meet basic needs: size, percolation and construction. Keeping all of this simplified will help you from getting too caught up with the flashy pieces that are available out there. Remember, we said basic. A piece that meets these needs will be easier to clean, store and go softer on the throat.</p>
<p><strong>Dab It While It’s Hot</strong></p>
<p>If you partake of concentrates along with your legal herbs then you want to make sure you have yourself an outstanding rig from <a href="https://www.thickassglass.com/collections/oil-rigs">our dab rig collection</a>. While you could totally use a dry herb glass pipe to take care of your concentrates as well, there are some serious drawbacks that should make you think otherwise.</p>
<p>Residue from dabbing is going to affect the flavor of your legal herbs in a way that’s not overly pleasant. Also, <a href="https://www.thickassglass.com/blogs/enlightenment/oil-rigs" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">dab rigs were created for a reason</a>. It’s almost cruel not to use them for concentrates. Again, you can get several cool pieces (<a href="https://www.thickassglass.com/collections/oil-rigs/products/10-bent-neck-matrix-diffuser-5mm">this one</a> is severely awesome), but if you want to have a basic piece in your collection, look for something with a 90 degree angle joint to help support using a torch and look for something lightweight. You don’t want this to be awkward to use and carrying around too many heavy pieces detracts from the chill feeling you want to enjoy from dabbing.</p>
<p><strong>Travel Size for your Convenience</strong></p>
<p>If you’re a social smoker and tend to go to a lot of gatherings and parties and want to bring your gear with you, you’ll want to make sure you have a nice, smaller water pipe <a href="https://www.thickassglass.com/collections/water-pipes/products/tag-bent-neck-matrix-diffuser">like this</a> that can make that journey with you. You’ll need to be careful about what it’s made out of and how you transport it. You don’t want to be shattering your gear while in transit.</p>
<p>Silicone might be the way to go if you find yourself on the road more often than not. Something under 7” would do the trick if you want to have something that’s easily portable. You can also consider <a href="https://www.thickassglass.com/products/reclaim-catcher-adapter">a reclaim collector for your concentrates</a>. These babies were made to be transportable so you know you’ll have an easy time with them.</p>
<p>Since most dab rigs are already small, you should be fine with whatever strikes your fancy. Just make sure you don’t go tossing your glass gear into the back of your car or you’ll be sorry when it comes time to pull it out.</p>
<p><strong>Let’s Get The Party Started</strong></p>
<p>Everyone likes having that piece they can show off. You could consider it the center of your collection. These are nice to add to your collection because it allows you to show off your own personal smoking style.</p>
<p>The majority of water pipes made specifically for showing off are crafted by glass artists. They are typically called, "functional glass art". You know that these pieces are functional and beautiful. Realistically you don’t have to even use <a href="https://www.thickassglass.com/collections/pulse-glass/products/pulse-glass-5-25-dab-droid-includes-14mm-male-stopper-for-cleaning-14mm-female">this kind of piece</a>. You can just set it on display and let it do the talking for you. But if you’ve gone through the trouble of selecting something that suits your personal style, why wouldn’t you want to bring it out when some friends are over? Just remember that the more elaborate the construction, the more time it’ll take to clean. Well worth the pain.</p>
<p><strong>Come One, Come All</strong></p>
<p><img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0235/4119/files/tall-beaker-water-pipe_large.jpg?v=1512671600" alt="large beaker water pipe" align="right" />Now that you’ve gotten the party started with your pretty piece, you might find that you’ve got a big group that wants to partake of legal herbs together. This is where the bigger pieces <a href="https://www.thickassglass.com/collections/water-pipes/products/tag-30-beaker-9mm">like this 30" beaker monster</a> are going to come in handy. While the current myth is that bigger bongs give you more potent hits, the reality is that they are just able to hold more smoke so that those partaking can get an equal hit.</p>
<p>Bigger bongs are going to be heavier, but that’s okay. Being closer to the ground is better when you want to share with several people. This will help prevent you from knocking it over and ruining your time.</p>
<p><strong>Wind It Up</strong></p>
<p>Here you’ve got a nice little list to help you get started on building your collection of pipes and other gear. You want to make sure you have some basic pieces to form the foundation and then branch out with more elaborate or <a href="https://www.thickassglass.com/collections/recyclers-1">exciting pieces like recyclers</a>, depending on what you want to use them for.</p>
<p>We’ve given you four examples of situations where you might want a special piece to use, but in reality the opportunities are endless. There’s a lot of great gear out there, so take a gander through <a href="https://www.thickassglass.com/">TAG's site</a> and see if you can’t find that special piece that will just add the finishing touch to your collection.</p>

In most applications, you need this to complete the dabbing experience. But did you know that carb caps <a href="https://www.thickassglass.com/collections/accessories/products/ceramic-carb-cap-with-dabber">like this</a> are also useful for dabbing? Lots of people think that carb caps are unnecessary but there’s a lot they’re missing out on by not using one. We’ll go through the different types of nails that are available to help you decide which one suits your needs. We’ll also give you a rundown on why carb caps are so misunderstood. <a href="https://www.thickassglass.com/blogs/enlightenment/dab-tools">A basic list of dab essentials is here.</a><br /></span></p>
<p><strong><span><img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0235/4119/files/quartz-carb-cap_large.jpg?v=1510600701" alt="" align="right" />Nail Me to the Wall</span></strong></p>
<p><span>Like we said before, nails are an essential tool for dabbing. You can’t dab without them but they come in so many different types of materials it can be hard choosing the right one for your needs. You can get nails in glass, <a href="https://www.thickassglass.com/collections/ceramic-concentrate-accessories">ceramic</a>, <a href="https://www.thickassglass.com/collections/quartz-nails">quartz</a> and <a href="https://www.thickassglass.com/collections/titanium-grade-2">titanium</a>. Most <a href="https://www.thickassglass.com/collections/oil-rigs">dab rigs</a> will come standard with a glass nail but you’ll probably want to upgrade that sooner rather than later.</span></p>
<p><span>What a lot of people don’t realize, especially when they’re new to dabbing, is that glass is weak and fragile. Glass can’t withstand consistent high temperatures in one spot without breaking. And that just leaves you with a hot mess you should probably avoid.</span></p>
<p><span>A great, light-weight alternative to glass is <a href="https://www.thickassglass.com/collections/quartz-nails">quartz</a>. These nails are just as pretty and come in several different styles. Just like the rest of the <a href="https://www.thickassglass.com/collections/accessories">smoking accessories</a> out there, nails come in male and female joints so you’ll have to make sure you get the one that fits your gear.</span></p>
<p><span>These are some of the type of nails that you’ll come to get comfortable with:</span></p>
<ul>
<li><span><strong>Domeless</strong> – These nails have a crown design that boasts a raised centerpiece. This has great airflow and is super easy to clean.</span></li>
<li><span><strong>Daisy Nail</strong> – This one is pretty to look at with it’s bowl design and the 8 slits that are around the edges. TAG has one <a href="https://www.thickassglass.com/collections/quartz-nails/products/quartz-domeless-nail-bowl">here</a>. This helps distribute airflow so that no matter where on the nail you’re dabbing from, you legal concentrates and oils will vaporize evenly.</span></li>
<li><span><strong>Banger Nail</strong> – This one helps manage heat stress on your gear with a long winding tube that connects to a dish that you keep the heat away from the joint. Many people don’t realize heat stress builds up over time and your joints are prime areas for stress.</span></li>
<li><span><strong>Domeless Halo Nail</strong> – The halo design is pretty fresh and sets it apart from standard nails. The slits in it that loop over the dish function as a pathway to your water pipe. The vapor from your legal concentrates and oils gets pulled up evenly through the slit, resulting in a better taste.</span></li>
<li><span><strong>Honey Bucket</strong> – This design helps keep your concentrates away from the dish itself by protecting them from the large chamber they rest in. There is almost a mini filtration system before the vapor hits your dab rig.</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span>These are just some examples of what you can look forward to when you dab. Comb through the designs and pick the one that works best for you. If you want one with flair, it’ll be easy to find it among these choices.</span></p>
<p><strong><span>Popping Caps</span></strong></p>
<p><span>Remember what we said about caps in the beginning?</span> The best thing about caps is that they help you enjoy those dabs at low temperatures. Quartz is a must for these because this material is far more durable than the glass you might find.</p>
<p>The basics of a cap is in two parts: heat retention and airflow restriction. The airflow restriction is going to give you a better tasting dab with less effort. You’ll see caps with holes in the top that are designed for domeless nails. These holes restrict the amount of air that <em>enters</em> <span>the nail. This restriction enables dabbers to get a better taste without having their hit weakened by extra oxygen.</span></p>
<p><span>The cap being placed on a nail turns it into a mini oven. This allows you to maintain your heat for a longer period of time without having to torch your nail again. Because the heat is trapped, it’s constantly circulating, and which helps keep the temperature consistent. This isn’t a lengthy process though as it lasts for only a short period of time. You’ll still need to work on your temperature control skills.</span></p>
<p><strong>The Choice is Yours</strong></p>
<p>The decision on what kind of nail you use and whether or not you decide to opt in or out for a cap really begins and ends with you. You’ve got to consider what you want to get out of dabbing and what style of dabber you are. Carefully review the information we’ve laid out for you and do your research. Ask your friends who are into dabbing what they think and go from there.</p>
<p>Every person enjoys their hobby in a personal, intimate way. Don’t be afraid if your ideal of a perfect dab rig is different from your friend who has been dabbing for years. You’re different people with different needs. Hopefully the information we’ve provided you with today can make your decision-making process and your dabbing experience a better one.</p>

Called <a href="https://www.thickassglass.com/collections/e-nails">e-nails</a> for short, this piece combines the nail with the torch to help you keep your experience efficient and enjoyable. There are several reasons why many dabbers like having these costly little numbers on hand instead of a traditional nail and torch. Let's get into it.</span></p>
<p><strong><span>The Power is Yours</span></strong></p>
<p><span><img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0235/4119/files/enails_large.JPG?v=1510598185" alt="" align="right" />With an e-nail, you have more control. We know that dabbing at high temperatures is super easy with a torch. You literally just turn it on and fire the flame at your nail and heat that sucker up. But you don’t have control over that. There are people out there that believe dabbing at lower temperatures, like within the 600 degree range, will lead to inhales that are tastier and less harsh on your throat and lungs. Since the e-nail is electronic, you can program what exact temperature you want coming from your nail and it will heat it up to precisely that. It won’t go over or under.</span></p>
<p><span>With all this power in your hands, you also take guesswork out of how hot, or cold, your nail actually is. You won’t have to rely on deciphering what color your nail is as it gets heated to know when exactly to dab. The e-nail will tell you.</span></p>
<p><span>This is good for those of us who are a little bit more anal about precision. You also avoid running the risk of ruining your dab by waiting too long or not long enough to apply your concentrate to the nail.</span></p>
<p><strong><span>Show Me The Money</span></strong></p>
<p><span>You’re not wasting money on concentrates anymore, but is that it? No way! While the e-nail is more costly in the beginning, it certainly pays for itself in the long run.<br /></span></p>
<p><span>E-nails can run you around $250 depending on where you get them and what features they have. That can really dent your wallet if you’re just starting, so many newcomers to dabbing will steer clear from them for their <a href="https://www.thickassglass.com/blogs/enlightenment/dab-tools">dab tool kit</a>. If you’ve got the change or are more experienced and looking to invest in your hobby, getting an e-nail will save you bigger bucks in the long run.</span></p>
<p><span>We already told you how they’ll save you from wasting your concentrates, but they’ll also save you money on fuel. Remember we said the e-nail combines the torch with the nail for efficiency? Because you won't need a torch, you won’t constantly need to buy butane to refill it. The cost of butane can seriously add up if you’re serious about this hobby. For people who dab daily, they can need to refill their torches more often than they’d like.</span></p>
<p><span>You save money on fuel and you save money by not letting your dabs go up in smoke, literally, before you can enjoy them. So far we think this is a pretty serious win for the e-nail.</span></p>
<p><strong><span>Don’t Play With Fire</span></strong></p>
<p><span>Now it’s time to play a little devil’s advocate here. Yeah, the e-nail sounds beautiful and easy to use, which it is. But with great power comes great responsibility.</span></p>
<p><span>The basic function of the e-nail is that you plug it in and it heats up right away. It’ll stay hot for as long as you have it plugged in which is great if you’ve got a group dabbing. You won’t have to worry about the nail cooling down between hits which will make your concentrate go farther.</span></p>
<p><span>However, there is a serious danger with e-nails that you need to be aware of. We already mentioned it above: it stays hot the entire time it’s plugged in. What do you think that means? That means if you plug it in and walk away, it’ll be hot. If someone goes to touch it, you’re going to have some serious burns. These things can get up with 1200 degrees and that is definitely remove some layers of skin. Another concern is that if you walk away while it’s on, there is a higher likely hood of something, like fabric, coming into contact with the nail and starting a fire.</span></p>
<p><span>Are you terrified into paying attention now? Good. That’s all you really need to do: pay attention. There are some higher end e-nails that have a safety feature built in where the nail will turn off if it’s on for too long or the temperature gets too high. It is totally worth it to spring for this feature. Peace of mind is priceless.</span></p>
<p><strong><span>Lack of Portability</span></strong></p>
<p><span>The only other serious drawback to the e-nail is that you need to be somewhere with power. This means no dabbing parties out on the deck or on a camping trip. If you’ve got portable sources of power that’s one thing, but most people don’t think to have or carry things like that. It just means that your dabbing can’t be overly spontaneous unless you also keep <a href="https://www.thickassglass.com/collections/torches">a torch</a> on hand for situations like this.</span></p>
<p><strong><span>The Choice is Yours</span></strong></p>
<p><span>We think we’ve made a pretty good case for e-nails here. Just like everything in the smoking hobby, there are pros and cons. You’ve got to think about who you are as a dabber and consider whether or not this investment is for you. For serious smokers who enjoy on a daily basis, you really can’t go wrong with an e-nail. If you’re just starting or aren’t as hardcore as daily, you might shy away. Either way, we’ve got something for you, no matter what you decide.</span></p>

<p><span>Just because you have a hobby that requires you to inhale vapors doesn’t mean you can’t be healthy about it. People smoke and inhale because they enjoy the feeling it gives them. No one wants to harsh on their throats and lungs, but that can be an unfortunate side effect of dabbing or smoking legal herbs. When you dab, you’re more than likely using <a href="https://www.thickassglass.com/collections/torches">a butane torch</a> to heat up your <a href="https://www.thickassglass.com/collections/quartz-nails">nail</a>. Getting your face that close also puts you at risk of inhaling butane vapors and messing up the taste of your dab.</span></p>
<p><span>There’s a way around that which won’t make it harder for you to enjoy your dab without destroying your body. It’s called a Healthstone and it’s a relatively new addition to dabbing that helps users enjoy what they’re doing in a safe manner.</span></p>
<p><strong><span>What Does It Do?</span></strong></p>
<p><span>In short, a health stone uses something called a vapor stone: this thing is an inert piece that doesn’t have high heat retention or emit any chemicals or gasses. That’s already a plus. You put the concentrate on the stone directly and use a torch to heat it up. The dab is going to get absorbed into the stone and it’ll sit there until it gets hot enough to vaporize so that you can suck it out through your pipe.</span></p>
<p><span>One thing to keep in mind is that you don’t want to point your flame directly on top of your concentrate. That’s just going to make your hit go up in a puff of smoke, literally, when you set it on fire. Try to hold it to the side so that you’re aiming over the top of the stone, but not right down on top of it. Clear as mud? Great.</span></p>
<p><strong><span>Why Do I Want This</span></strong></p>
<p><span>Anything that makes your hobby better on your body should be a no-brainer. Like we explained above, the healthstone is inert. If you don’t know what that means, it refers to the fact that the concentrate gets absorbed into the stone itself and the vapor will move <em>in</em> to the pipe, not out into the air. This makes your hits more concentrated without having to light up a whole bunch of product. It also helps you use less to get more. That’s something everyone can get behind.</span></p>
<p><strong><span>I’m New. Is This For Me?</span></strong></p>
<p><span>If you’re new to the dabbing scene you might not want to dive right into using a healthstone. Unless you have literal money to burn. Because the healthstone is a bit different from heating up the nail you run the risk of combusting your product and losing it to the wind. Not only does that suck, but the inhaling the combusted product is way harsher on your throat and lungs which makes this a lot less comfortable than it should be. You’re smoking to find a way to relax or reduce pain, right? Don’t make it harder for yourself.</span></p>
<p><span>The reason why this is not really recommended for newcomers to the scene is the temperature control you’ll need to have when using your torch. Some torches get up to 2000 degrees which seems insane, but is actually quite normal. When you use a healthstone you don’t need to heat it up to that high of a temperature. You want it to be more around the 400-450 range in order to make it work properly. New users generally don’t have the finesse when it comes to regulating heat which can make for a discouraging experience.</span></p>
<p><strong><span>Things to Consider</span></strong></p>
<p><span>Just because you don’t have the finesse doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try. You just need to be careful and watch what you’re doing. If you’ve got <a href="https://www.thickassglass.com/collections/torches/products/vector-nitro-torch">a large torch</a> on hand you may want to invest in something smaller before you try a healthstone out for the first time. A smaller torch will produce a smaller flame and make it easier to navigate what you’re doing. Something like a cigar-style lighter is going to make your life a whole lot easier. Even if you’ve been doing this for a long time, you might want to have one of these smaller torches on hand just to save yourself some headaches down the line.</span></p>
<p><strong><span>Light it Up</span></strong></p>
<p><span>You should have a pretty good grasp on what a healthstone is now and why you might want to use it. It’s healthier for you, easily portable and looks pretty sweet. The healthstone just falls into place so when you’re replacing them you shouldn’t have any issues. If you find that your healthstone is stuck and doesn’t just pop out like it should when you’re trying to replace it don’t panic. This is bound to happen since residue will build up and act like a glue that keeps it in place. Just heat it up like you’re about to use it. That should loosen the residue. Turn it upside down and tap the stone out onto something non-flammable and you’re good to go. It doesn’t get much easier than that.</span></p>

How about accessories that help prolong the life of your gear? Now we’re talking!</span></p>
<p><span>Whether your taste is for legal herbs or concentrates, you’re going to be using gear and pipes that are continually subjected to some pretty high temperatures. You might also have noticed after consistent use that there is some reclaim stuck in your pipe that does not look like fun to get at.</span></p>
<p><span><img src="//cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0235/4119/files/dropdown_large.JPG?v=1510596702" alt="" align="right" />When it comes to pipes and dab rigs there are multiple accessories that can be added, but some things require joints or connections that aren’t already native to your piece. Sounds like a mess, doesn’t it? Not worry! There is a piece out there designed to make your hobby a lot more enjoyable without any added stress. More commonly used with dab rigs, this piece works for both.</span></p>
<p><span>Enter <a href="https://www.thickassglass.com/products/tag-drop-down-adapter-3-drop">the Drop-Down!</a> Let’s lay out why you seriously want to keep this accessory with your gear.</span></p>
<p><strong><span>Multi-Function</span></strong></p>
<p><span>When we say that this piece can do it all, we’re not lying. The drop down is the must-have accessory for serious enjoyers of legal herb and concentrate. This adapter can be attached to a <a href="https://www.thickassglass.com/collections/water-pipes">water pipe</a> or a <a href="https://www.thickassglass.com/collections/oil-rigs">dab rig</a>. That already makes it awesome for those who use both. Maybe you’re browsing for new accessories and can’t remember if you need male or female joints. A drop-down often has connections for both, which makes it a no-brainer.</span></p>
<p><strong><span>Live Long and Prosper</span></strong></p>
<p><span>Pipes and dab rigs are typically made of one safe, amazing material: glass. While you can get accessories and other parts in varied materials, the core of your equipment is going to be made from glass. Glass can be fragile, especially when you use it on a regular basis at the temperatures you need to get a good inhale going.</span></p>
<p><span>This is where the drop-down shines. It serves as a buffer between the joint and nail, keeping excessive heat away from this delicate area. Heat stress is caused from overuse and can be accelerated when a wayward torch isn’t as focused on the nail as it should be. In the long run the drop-down will also save you some money by preventing you from having to replace your pieces on a regular basis. If you’re a daily dabber or smoker, it’s a good investment.</span></p>
<p><strong><span>Reclaim</span></strong></p>
<p><span>Not only does catching reclaim keep your rig clean and operational, it allows you to easily harvest this useful by-product for other uses like baking. You can even use the reclaim to dab again. When you apply a drop-down to your rig you can attach a reclaim bucket to obtain the reclaim (or just buy our <a href="https://www.thickassglass.com/products/tag-reclaim-drop-down-adapter-0-5-drop">drop-down/reclaim combo piece</a>). With a place to go, the oil won’t hang around inside your rig or pipe causing build-up that is a pain to clean off. Instead of washing the reclaim down the sink because you don’t know how, or can’t be bothered, to get it out let the drop-down do the dirty work for you.</span></p>
<p><strong><span>Look Me in the Eye</span></strong></p>
<p><span>Another really sweet reason to get your hands on a drop-down is that they make your nails easier to see. This might not sound like a big deal, but if you’re new to the scene or find yourself getting lost in the rhythm from frequent use, the nail can wander from your line of sight. By not keeping an eye on your nail you might be pointing your torch at the wrong thing which leads to the heat stress mentioned above. If you can see what you’re doing, you’re more likely to do it right.</span></p>
<p><span>Many nails rely on their users to notice color changes in order to determine what the temperature is. Use a nail that’s too cold and you wind up with some pudding-like concentrate. Too hot and your concentrate will become vapor and drift away before you have a chance to inhale. By being where you can see it, you’ll save yourself from a few headaches.</span></p>
<p><strong><span>Saving Money, One inhale at a Time</span></strong></p>
<p><span>You might think that you can enjoy your hobby without a drop-down. You’d be right, of course, but you might find your wallet getting thinner as time goes back.</span></p>
<p><span>We’ve told you that the drop-down and protect your rig from heat stress. Never underestimate how costly it can be when critical parts of your pipe or dab rig shatter from being too hot. Heat stress isn’t something you’re going to notice right away. It builds up over time and often catches users unaware. There’s nothing more disappointing than trying to light up to de-stress only to find out your joints are cracked, and you don’t have a back up piece. Or maybe you’ve got a craving for some special brownies but it’s going to take you more than a day to get at your reclaim in order to use it in your baking. That really takes the fun out of the whole thing.<br /></span></p>
<p><span>A drop-down is an optional accessory that you don’t have to have in order to enjoy the hobby. It will, however, make your enjoyment easier and more productive. You really can’t go wrong.</span></p>
