What is a Dab Banger?

A Dab Banger is the attachment that fits the end of a dab rig, usually resembling a bucket. In this attachment, the cannabis concentrates are ‘dabbed’, this is the process of consuming a high concentration of THC through liquid vapor, achieved by heating the banger.

Although they have a similar look and function, a dab rig differs from a bong in that you are vaporizing the concentrate, as opposed to combusting the herb to release smoke. When using a dab rig, you are mostly inhaling vapor, rather than smoke.

Dabbing and vaping concentrates have gained popularity over the years and the demand for dab bangers has increased significantly. Dab nails and vapor domes were the most popular dab tools a few years ago, but dab bangers have now become the preferred tool of choice for most dab enthusiasts.

Bangers come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and styles and can instantly convert your bong, water pipe, or bubbler into a hybrid dab rig. This enables you to dab concentrates, as well as smoke dry herbs from one device.

What to consider when buying a Dab Banger

The main consideration when buying a dab banger is to ensure the top of the banger matches the shape of the carb cap (the air and heat trap) so it fits tightly together. The quality can also vary from banger to banger, which is why using a trusted retailer such as Grasscity is recommended. In addition, some dab bangers are also easier to use than others, but the learning curve is minimal.

Everything else, from styles, and materials, to brands is purely down to personal preference.

Dab Banger Materials

At Grasscity we stock an impressive range of dab bangers in a selection of different materials. These materials include:

titanium
high-quality quartz
glass
ceramic

These options all perform well, however, quartz bangers offer better functionality as they heat up three times faster than ceramic and titanium bangers.

There are multiple options to choose from when considering a quartz banger, such as a degree quartz banger, round bottom quartz banger, or a male quartz banger. Each of these pieces has its own unique uses and can vary in material thickness for sturdiness.

Thick quartz is a better solution for smokers who transport their tools regularly, as its durability is unmatched!

Regular glass bangers are delicate and can break easily under extreme heat, and ceramic and titanium bangers can emit harmful, unwanted gasses during the vaporization process.

Quartz does a great job of preserving the flavor of your concentrates and it cools off a lot faster than titanium, allowing dabbers to achieve the optimal dabbing temperature quicker than with a ceramic or titanium nail banger.

Try switching your domeless titanium, ceramic, or glass banger for a quartz banger and enjoy low-temperature dabs for a better dabbing experience.

Dab Bangers FAQs

FAQ

Is a Dab Banger a Dab Nail?

A dab banger and a dab nail serve the same purpose but are different accessories used to vaporize concentrates on a dab rig. They both offer a place to load your material onto, and use an external heat source, but work in different ways. Both can be made from glass, quartz, titanium, or ceramic.

Dab Banger: Dab bangers are bucket-shaped, usually feature a thick bottom base, and are great for more liquid-type concentrates. They are commonly used with a carb cap that acts as a lid to capture and retain the heat from the preheated round bottom base. They can also be used with spinner beads or terp pearls for added effectiveness.

Dab Nail: A nail is a nail-shaped insert with a flat head that is heated before loading. Dab nails work well with a more solid concentrate that can be placed on their heated nail heads. Some quartz banger nails use a vapor dome to control the airflow and regulate temperatures during the vaporization process, and many feature air holes to facilitate airflow.

Should I buy a small, medium, or large Banger?

Large bangers are designed for people who prefer larger dabs, vaporizing a significant amount of concentrate with a blast of heat, and retaining this heat for a number of minutes. Larger bangers are not ideal for anyone who likes to carb dabs.

Small bangers are perfect for people who like to take numerous dabs in a short space of time. In contrast, medium bangers are used by people who prefer smaller dabs, similar to smoking a joint.

How long should a Banger be torched for?

A quartz dab banger should be heated (torched) for around 30 seconds and no more than 60 seconds. Regular glass, ceramic, and titanium bangers should be heated for around 60 seconds (20 seconds on each side, then 20 seconds on top.)

Can Bangers overheat?

Yes. Overheating your dab banger can cause permanent damage, leaving visible wear and tear, and causing the material to break down so it is no longer fit for purpose. A dab rig should be heated to a temperature of between 300-400°F, avoiding damage to the banger and releasing a better flavor profile.

How long should the banger cool before a dab?

Once heated, you should leave the banger to cool for around 40-45 seconds before taking a dab, although you will learn your own optimal heating and cooling times with continued use. It is also advised to clean your banger with a cotton swab after every session.

How to clean a quartz banger?

It’s always a good idea to clean your banger occasionally. Clean your banger thoroughly by soaking it in ISO alcohol with some coarse salt in a Ziploc bag. Let your banger sit for a couple of minutes, and then clean with a cotton swab, followed by a rinse with warm water. A ‘dab tool’ or a blunt tool comes in handy to scrape off whatever’s left for removal.
