Description
It’s no secret that dabbing has seriously influenced the evolution of cannabis culture. Though the concept has been around for decades (remember knife hits?!), the movement has seen a massive boom in the past 10 years. In response, ever-changing technology has evolved to produce new and improved products crafted to deliver the perfect dab.
Dab nails are a crucial part of the recipe — maybe even the most essential component of your rig. Domed and ceramic nails are out, and quartz is the new kid on the block. With a plethora of different types of quartz bangers out there, it’s time to make an educated choice in your selection.
Why Quartz?
Quartz is a highly durable mineral that boasts all the benefits of glass, but can handle even higher temperatures. Because your nail is used to heat your concentrates, its thermal properties are an essential factor in the competition for the best nail. Our Quartz Bangers are food and medical grade, meaning there are no adverse side effects when heating the nail to extreme temperatures. Out of all the materials from which dab nails are made – quartz, glass, titanium and ceramic – a quartz nail secures the cleanest taste. An added bonus? It can likely withstand your clumsiest friend.
Anatomy of a Banger
A quartz banger is comprised of three main sections: the bucket, the neck and the joint. Bucket style and size can change drastically, but the piece is always considered a bucket and performs the same function. The neck connects the bucket to the joint or the base of the nail, which fits on your rig. Joint sizes vary, so read our Joint Size Guide to ensure you’ve got the proper setup.
Banger buckets get the job done with low heat and optimal flavor. Made from food and medical-grade quartz, Quartz Bangers are available in a variety of sizes with matching Quartz Carb Caps to improve heat retention and allow lower temperature dabs. Our standard 2mm Quartz Banger can be heated in 10 seconds or less and is more durable than both glass and ceramic. Opt for the thickest quartz nail on the market and pick up our 4mm Quartz Banger for quadruple the heat retention, with all the added benefits. Or, grab the Sumo Banger, with a 25mm diameter plus the thick and robust 4mm sidewall.
