A dab rig is a water pipe built for concentrates: it pairs a compact body with a quartz banger or e-nail so vapor stays cool and full of flavor. Below you'll find glass rigs, recyclers, portable dab rigs and electronic dab rigs in every size — from cheap dab rigs under $50 to premium e-rigs — shipping fast from the US.

How to choose a dab rig
Four things decide flavor, draw and convenience:
Glass vs electric
Glass rigs use a torch-heated banger for top flavor. E-rigs heat electrically — no torch, precise temps.
Size
Smaller rigs preserve flavor and use less concentrate; larger rigs with percs give cooler, smoother pulls.
Joint & banger
Match the banger to the joint size (commonly 14mm). Quartz bangers are the flavor standard.
Percolation
Recyclers and percs cool the vapor further — great if you find dabs harsh.

Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between a dab rig and a bong?
A dab rig is built for concentrates and uses a quartz banger or e-nail; a bong is built for dry herb and uses a bowl. Rigs are usually smaller to preserve flavor.
Do I need a torch for a dab rig?
For a glass rig with a quartz banger, yes — a butane torch heats the banger. Electric e-rigs remove the torch and heat at the press of a button.
What size dab rig should I get?
Smaller rigs (under 7 inches) give the most flavor and use less material; larger rigs with percolators give cooler hits. Beginners often start small.
What is an e-rig?
An electric dab rig with a built-in heating element and battery. You set a temperature, it heats automatically, and there is no torch or open flame.
How do I keep a quartz banger clean?
Swab it out while still warm after each use, and do a deeper isopropyl soak periodically. A clean banger means better flavor.
What is a portable dab rig?
A portable dab rig is a compact rig built for travel — either a small glass rig or a battery-powered e-rig. Portable dab rigs trade chamber size for packability, and electronic models need no torch at all.
What is the best cheap dab rig?
Under $50 you are looking at compact glass rigs and silicone rigs. A cheap dab rig with a quartz banger will still deliver good flavor — see our dab rigs under $50.
What comes in a dab rig kit?
A complete dab rig kit is the rig itself plus a quartz banger, a carb cap, a dab tool and a torch (or, for an electronic dab rig, the battery base and atomizer). Browse dabbing accessories to fill any gaps.
Can I replace dab rig parts?
Yes. Bangers, carb caps, downstems and e-rig atomizers are all replaceable — matching the joint size (most commonly 14mm) is what matters.
