Dabbing

Different Ways to Dab

Dabbing Gear Explained – Dab Rigs, Bangers, Tools & More!

Dabbing is a particularly intense, flavour-packed way to enjoy concentrates like wax, oil or shatter – provided your setup is up to the job. Depending on how you like to dab, the individual parts can differ a lot in function and material: oil bongs and dab rigs are built specifically for vaporising concentrates, using diffusers and chambers to produce cool, clean vapour. Bangers are the heated attachments made from quartz, glass or titanium where your concentrate is vaporised; fit, heat resistance and shape all make a difference. Carb caps control airflow and help make your dab more efficient and more dense. Dedicated dab tools such as spatulas and pickers let you handle concentrates precisely, while heat-resistant silicone containers keep them safely stored. Once you know the differences and choose your accessories with purpose, dabbing reaches a whole new level.

Benefits of Dabbing – More Intense, Cleaner and More Efficient!

Dabbing gives you an exceptionally pure, intense and flavour-rich smoking experience. It’s ideal if you want to get the most out of high-quality concentrates such as wax, oil or shatter. Unlike traditional combustion, dabbing vaporises the material, creating fewer harmful by-products while preserving the full flavour of the extracts. The effects come on faster and more directly because the active compounds are much more concentrated. Dabbing is also more efficient, as smaller amounts can deliver a stronger effect. With precision gear such as dab rigs, bangers, carb caps and dab tools, you can tailor, control and fine-tune the experience to suit you. Dabbing also scores points for hygiene and cleanliness, because residue is easier to remove and the heat is focused directly on the banger. If you value effect, purity, flavour and control, dabbing is a modern, superior alternative to traditional smoking.

FAQ – Answers to Questions from Our Community

To get started, you’ll need a dab rig or oil bong, a banger or nail, a dab tool, optionally a carb cap and a heat-resistant storage container for your concentrate.

Popular options include wax, shatter, rosin, budder and oil. Purity and the right consistency are important so you can work with them easily using a dab tool.

You can clean your banger and rig effectively with isopropyl alcohol and warm water. Residue such as reclaim is easy to remove once it has cooled.

Heat the banger evenly with a butane torch and, depending on the material (e.g. quartz), let it cool for around 30–60 seconds before applying the concentrate. This helps you avoid overheating and that bitter taste.

You can collect residue (reclaim) from the rig with a reclaim catcher or during cleaning – for example, to process further into edibles or extracts.

Oil / Distillate
Oils are runny and flow easily. Distillates are usually very potent.
Recommended temperature: 260–310 °C
Tip: A slightly higher temperature helps vaporise the oil completely. 

Shatter
Shatter is hard and clear. It has a stable structure and melts slowly.
Recommended temperature: 260–315 °C
Tip: Dab a little hotter for the best effect, as shatter needs more heat to vaporise evenly.

Wax
Wax is softer, slightly crumbly and melts faster.
Recommended temperature: 230–290 °C
Tip: Dab at a lower temperature to preserve flavour and terpenes at their best.

Rosin
Rosin is pressed without solvents and is especially rich in aroma.
Recommended temperature: 200–260 °C
Tip: Rosin doesn’t handle high heat well – low-temp dabs deliver the best flavour and effect.

Budder
Budder is fluffy and creamy, almost like butter. It vaporises very evenly.
Recommended temperature: 240–290 °C
Tip: Medium-temp is ideal – too hot destroys terpenes, too cold leaves residue.
