How to Clean and Sterilize Your Dab Rig Properly - Our Guide

Keeping your dab rig equipment clean is essential for improved performance and a pleasant smoking experience. Aside from that, it keeps you and the people you share vape equipment with safe from many common infections, diseases, toxins, and potentially hazardous materials, especially since communal toking is popular among groups.

The key to healthy and improved dab rig smoking is having it cleaned and sterilized regularly. By doing so, you prevent grime and other potential disease-causing elements from building up in your smoking device. No matter what type of dab rig you have and how often you use it, regular cleaning should be part of its usage.

To help you experience improved performance, here is a step-by-step guide on how you should clean and sterilize your bubbler dab rig or other models:

How to Clean a Dab Rig the Right Way

A beaker dab rig and other rig designs are typically made of borosilicate glass. This particular type of glass needs special attention, as resins can quickly and build up and cling to the inner components during and after use. As you may know, these can be hard to remove, and you will need specific cleaning solutions and other materials, including Isopropyl alcohol and coarse grain salt, to get the job done.

How to clean resin in the dab rig:

1. Pour a substantial amount of isopropyl alcohol in a clean cloth to wipe down the outside of the glass.
2. Use cotton buds or other similar items to clean hard-to-reach areas with the solution
3. For the interior, put down a good amount of coarse grain salt inside the rig along with some of the alcohol
4. Swish the dab rig for a few seconds and make sure that the solution makes contact with the entire interior
5. Rinse the dab rig with clean water and allow it to dry by itself

Proper Sterilization of a Dab Rig

Sterilizing your micro dab rig or similar device is crucial, especially if you participate in communal toking. Doing this will help ensure that your smoking device is germ-free and safe from other disease-causing elements. This is also helpful when you want to eradicate the strong, unwanted aroma and taste in your device.

How to sterilize a dab rig:

1. Grab an odorless, tasteless, and non-toxic sanitizer to remove unpleasant aroma and taste
2. Start by wiping down the mouthpiece, including the entire outside of the glass, using a clean cloth with sanitizer
3. Pour a substantial amount of sanitizer inside and mix it with water for easy swishing
4. Swish the glass device for a minute or two
5. Rinse once again with clean water and let it dry by itself

Conclusion

Having a clean and sanitized dab rig is more than just having a smoking device that looks brand new. More importantly, it is crucial to protecting your health as well as that of the people you vape with. With that said, make it a point to perform routine cleaning and sanitizing for a safe and enjoyable vaping experience.
