Glass Dab Rigs

Glass Dab Rigs, also referred to as oil rigs are popular devices that maintain the most flavor from your favorite concentrate. If you’re looking for a dab rig that reduces flavor loss, or unwanted tastes in your smoke for cleaner and smoother hits, then a glass dab rig is for you.

Glass Dab Rigs from Grasscity

Similar to water pipes as they both are beaker-based pieces, a key difference is that dab rigs vaporize concentrates while bongs burn dry herbs.

Typically made from borosilicate glass, our range of dab rigs is made to be incredibly heat resistant, and extremely durable. Available in countless styles, colors, and designs, dab rigs are very customizable thanks to add-ons and custom accessories to tailor to your style and needs.

Our choice of smaller dab rigs is perfect for travel, as they are compact and do not have a lot of accessories needed to accompany them. Being transparent, these devices are also very straightforward to clean, great for anyone who prefers a low-maintenance option.

As a leading online headshop, we also offer a number of alternatives to a dab rig, from bubblers to traditional smoking pipes.

Types of Glass Dab Rigs

Dab rigs come in many shapes, sizes, and materials making them easily customizable for an individual smoking experience. Each has its own best qualities that enhance your rips and hits.

The different types of dab rigs include:

When choosing your dab rig, there are a number of things to consider.

The Different Types of bases

The type of base for your dab rig is purely for functionality, from a straight tube to a bubble base, but many people have a preference for the way their rig looks.

Beaker bongs and bases are a classic style with a sturdy bottom - perfect for being displayed or smoked on a flat surface. Whereas hourglass (bubble) rigs offer a more interesting design that really stands out.

If you’re looking for a fantastic glass rig to show off to your friends, we recommend the Honey Bee Hourglass Dab Rig with Showerhead Perc.

The Material

Our dab rigs are typically made from borosilicate glass and silicone. Glass rigs are sturdy and can withstand high temperatures, affordable, yet maintaining high quality. Glass is particularly known to produce smooth hits without the taste being affected by the material which can happen with some silicone bongs or rigs.

A silicone alternative is better for someone who often is on the go with their rig or is prone to dropping their piece. Silicone is virtually indestructible and just as resistant to heat as glass. A great silicone rig is our PieceMaker Kube Silicone Dab Rig.

Hybrid Dab Rigs

Hybrid dab rigs are 2-in-1 devices and are much like a normal rig except they allow you to vaporize concentrates and burn dry herbs from the same tool.

Recycler hybrid dab rigs are also amazing options for someone who doesn‘t want any splashback when they hit. The main feature of the device is the external tubes that produce a continuous loop of filtration. This is the perfect option for someone who wants a fresh dabbing experience with maximum airflow.

Percolators

If you are looking for even better airflow and want your hits to be smoother and more filtered, then consider a percolator dab rig. These oil rigs come with various types of ‘percs’ such as showerhead percs, inline percs, honeycomb percs, and many more.

There are also a number of options for cheap dab rigs with percolators if you are working with a limited budget.

Glass Dab Rigs - FAQs

FAQ

How do I use a Glass Dab Rig?

Using a glass dab rig is very straightforward.

First, fit the nail or banger into the removable or fixed diffuser downstem of your rig.
Blast the dab nail with a dab torch, such as a butane torch until it is hot.
Then load the device with your concentrates and inhale the vapor from the mouthpiece while the concentrates vaporize.

You can use an e-nail that tells you exactly which temperature your banger or nail is to make the process even easier.

Are Glass Dab Rigs safe to use?

Yes. All the glass dab rigs sold by Grasscity are made from high-quality and heat-resistant materials that can withstand the hottest temperatures, making them perfectly safe to use.

Are Glass Dab Rigs better than Silicone Dab Rigs?

The key difference between a silicone and a glass dab rig is that borosilicate (or scientific glass) means the smoke is completely untainted by the material, giving a pure and smooth hit without any additional flavor.

However, while the taste is usually better when using a glass rig, silicone is much stronger and is almost unbreakable which is a great advantage for those who are prone to dropping things.

Either dab rig is a good choice and is available in various styles, including mini dab rigs.

How do you clean a Glass Dab Rig?

Regularly maintaining your glass dab rig is crucial to extending the life of your device.

We recommend using isopropyl alcohol to soak your dab rig first.
Then rinse it clean with lukewarm water. Avoid using hot water as this can damage your rig in the long term.
Finally, allow it to fully dry before using the device again.
