Picking up a Dab Rig: Here Are 5 Types You Must Consider

If you are new to dab rigs, choosing the perfect one for you can be daunting, mostly because there are so many types to pick from. Unfortunately, since not all rigs are manufactured and used in the same way, you may end up with the wrong type that simply ruins your vaping experience. For this reason, we are here to help you choose the right type of dab rig by explaining the different types of out there and what each of them does.

 

1. Recycler Dab Rigs

When it comes to the quality of hits, recycler dab rigs are known to offer some of the best. The name comes from the fact that the water is "recycled" through two separate chambers—thus giving you a great hit. This, of course, is its main advantage. Thanks to this function, recycler dab rigs have been known to offer wild designs, some of which may look like it came straight out of a mad scientist's lab.

 

The main drawback of a recycler dab rig is that they are going to cost a pretty penny. Not only is it composed of expensive glass, but its functionality also requires more intricate designs. Plus, they are quite large, so they are not easily transportable.

 

2. Mini Dab Rigs 

 

As the name implies, these dab rigs are extra tiny. They are so small, in fact, that you can hold one up on the palm of your hand! Not only does this mean they are incredibly travel-friendly, but because of the small size, the vapor travels far less—thus maintaining its flavor and effectiveness. 

 

The one downside of mini dab rigs is that the vapor tends to be a lot hotter since the rigs cannot hold as much water. As such, you can end up in a coughing fit if you aren’t expecting it!

 

3. Silicone Dab Rigs

Silicone dab rigs are well-known and quite popular for many reasons. First, it is convenient because you can easily take one apart for easy transportation and cleaning. Second, it is highly durable—thanks to the material it is made out of—which is actually also the reason it is affordable. Finally, they are incredibly safe to use.

 

While that might sound like the perfect dab rig, silicone dab rig still has its downsides. One such downside includes not being able to impart the full flavor of the concentrate through the vapor.

 

4. Electronic Dab Rigs

As the name suggests, electronic dab rigs—or e-rigs—work using a battery as its power source. With it, all you need to do is click a button, and you are on your way to vape your favorite concentrate!

 

The biggest downside to e-rigs is that you are limited to the charge of the battery. Aside from that, an e-rig will only be able to deliver smaller hits—which some regular users may not like.

 

5. Honey Straws

This might only be the dab rig without the name "dab rig" right by it. Nevertheless, it is still a dab rig, albeit works quite differently as compared to the rest. Honey straws work by having you place the nail directly on the concentrate rather than the other way around, as how other dab rigs would have it. 

 

The biggest benefit of honey straws is that they are incredibly portable and can work well with smaller torches. Plus, they are quite affordable, thus making it an excellent choice if you are on a tight budget. 

The drawback to honey straws, however, is that there is little to no water inside the rig, meaning no filtration will happen. Also, since the concentrate is exposed, you might just accidentally blow the substance everywhere!

 

Conclusion

 

Which one is the perfect dab rig for you? If you are a newbie to the dab-rig world, we highly recommend opting for silicone dab rigs. They give you the best of all worlds—not only because of its portability and easy to clean insides, but it also provides a decent hit you can enjoy. That said, while it is a jack of all trades, it is a master of none. However, once you have gained more experience with a silicone dab rig, we guarantee that you will slowly discover what works for you. From there, you can continue your search for the perfect dab rig.
