Glass: Your Guide to Categories and Care

Dive into our ultimate guide to glass categories! Whether you’re just starting out or a pro smoker, we’ve got the perfect glass pieces to elevate your dabbing or smoking game. Explore the range of options—Dab Rigs, Bongs, Bangers, and Bong Bowls—along with their subcategories, and get pro tips to keep your gear in peak condition.

What is a Glass Piece?

A glass piece is a device that uses water filtration and cooling to enhance your smoking or dabbing experience, ideal for concentrates, dry herbs, or other legal materials. Unlike combustion, which churns out harsh byproducts, glass pieces deliver smooth, aromatic vapor or smoke for a healthier, more controlled hit.

Glass pieces come in various shapes and sizes—from sleek, portable designs to sturdy desktop models. They’re split into four key categories: Dab Rigs, Bongs, Bangers, and Bong Bowls, each designed to match different preferences. Let’s break down these subcategories.

Overview of Glass Categories

Dab Rigs

Dab Rigs, also known as concentrate rigs, are crafted to heat potent extracts like wax or oil using specialized components like quartz nails or bangers, delivering intense, efficient vapor.

• Pros: High potency, efficient extraction, customizable settings.
• Top Pick: The VAPORBA Multi Recycler with Inline Perc Dab Rig, a 9-inch piece made from 5mm borosilicate glass with a 14mm female joint, includes a 14mm male banger for ultra-smooth hits.

How to Care for Your Glass Piece Daily

Proper maintenance keeps your glass piece performing at its best and extends its life. Here’s your daily care guide:

• Post-Use Cleaning: Remove residue from chambers or tanks. For Bongs like the VAPORBA Colorful Frosted Beaker Bong, use a soft brush and 90%+ isopropyl alcohol to clean the water chamber.
• Mouthpiece Maintenance: Clean glass mouthpieces (like on the Colorful Frosted Beaker Bong) with warm water and mild soap to prevent buildup.
• Nail and Bowl Check: For Dab Rigs (like the VAPORBA Multi Recycler) and Bangers (like the Terp Slurper), regularly inspect quartz cups or dishes and replace if clogged.
• Proper Storage: Store dry herbs or concentrates in airtight containers to keep them fresh.

Tip: Use our cleaning kits or storage boxes for hassle-free upkeep.
