Dab Rigs & Oil Rigs

What Is a Dab Rig?

A dab rig is a compact water pipe designed for vaporizing concentrates such as wax, shatter, and live resin. Instead of burning dry herbs, dab rigs use a heated quartz banger to vaporize concentrates at controlled temperatures, producing smooth, flavorful vapor rather than smoke.

Why Choose a Dab Rig Over a Bong?

• Minimal Vapor Path – Reduces terpene condensation and flavor loss.
• Reduced Internal Volume – Prevents stale vapor buildup.
• Gentle Water Diffusion – Cools vapor without stripping terpenes.

At Croia Glass, every dab rig is engineered with airflow efficiency, stable diffusion, and easy maintenance in mind.

Dab Rig FAQ

What is the difference between a dab rig and a bong?
Dab rigs are designed for concentrates with shorter vapor paths and smaller chambers, while bongs are designed for dry herbs and larger smoke volume.

What size dab rig is best?
Most users prefer dab rigs between 5 and 8 inches for optimal flavor retention and easy handling.

Do I need a quartz banger for a dab rig?
Yes. Quartz bangers are the industry standard for clean flavor, heat retention, and compatibility with carb caps.

What temperature should I dab at?
Low-temperature dabbing (450–550°F) delivers the best flavor, while higher temperatures provide stronger vapor.

How often should I clean my dab rig?
Light users may clean weekly, while frequent users should clean every few sessions.
