Frequently asked questions about Dab Rigs
How do I clean my dab rig?
The next step is cleaning your rig. Empty your rig from the water and fill the base with isopropyl alcohol. If you need to cleanse the rig deeply, you can put some coarse sea salt in the rig before putting the isopropyl alcohol in it. Then you have to cover the holes and shake the rig to loosen the built-up dirt.
Once the nail and rig are soaked and clean, you must rinse them off thoroughly with warm water. Make sure to use the right cleaning accessories when cleaning your smoking device and to dry all the parts thoroughly before using the dab rig once again.
How often should you clean a dab rig?
We also recommend you empty the water of your dab rig after each session to reduce bacteria growth. When you use your dab rig daily, it may be better to clean it more often.
What's the difference between a dab rig and a bong?
Dab rigs are designed to smoke concentrates, like oil and wax. Bongs are made to smoke dry products like herbs and tobacco.
What is the best type of concentrate?
- Shatter - Shatter gets its name from its glass-like consistency. Shatter is a very pure form of a concentrated herb and, most of the time has a transparent or amber color. This concentrate is something you need if you're looking for a hard-hitting high.
- Wax - Wax has, like its name suggests, a waxy texture, just like candle wax. It's best to use wax with a dabbing tool because it can be very sticky. Wax most of the time has a yellowish color and can be smoked with a dab rig or a vaporizer.
- Rosin - Rosin is made with heat and pressure being applied to components of herbs to remove the resin. What remains is a golden and oil-like concentrate. Rosin is a favorite amongst terpene lovers because of the aroma and terpenes staying in the rosin.
- Oil - Oil is also a popular concentrate. Most of the time, oils are produced with CO2. Oil is the most common concentrate to find in CBD varieties, and it's also widely used to make CBD edibles.
- Hash - Hash is made by compressing kief, which comes from the herb. Hash is a very powerful concentrate and is also often used in roll-ups.
How much water do you put in a dab rig?
The water in your dab rig provides filtration and will make the vape feel better on your lungs. However, the water can also dilute the flavor of your smoke. The more water you put in the dab rig, the more water your vape has to go through. Next to that, your concentrate can also get lost in the water while dabbing. That's why it's best not to put too much water in your dab rig if you fully want to enjoy the flavor of your concentrate.

What is the best size dab rig?
When you're smoking a smaller dab rig, you'll notice that small dab rigs have tighter passages and chambers. These will form a more direct and drag-free pathway for the vapor to travel down. This pathway will give the vapor no time to dissipate, which will provide you with a powerful rip. Some larger dab rigs are designed with a compressed chamber to give better dabs despite their bigger size.
