Read, learn, and remember—you can find all the best dabbing accessories you need at MJ Arsenal.

Terp Pearls

First up, we're going to talk about Terp Pearls.

These small beads, often made of borosilicate or quartz, are a device that helps distribute your cannabis concentrate when you place a dab of it into your dab rig banger. They also absorb and spread heat against your dab, reducing the chance of it burning up and preserving each hit's full sensation and flavor.

To use them properly, here are some quick instructions: First, add a few terp pearls to your cool banger and heat it to your ideal temperature. Then, add your dab and cover the banger with your carb cap. The pearls will then do their job, melting down your dab of concentrates and giving you a clean, fully-flavored hit.

Terp pearls are one of the best accessories for keeping your concentrates at the right temperature and distributing dab vapor more evenly. For high-quality terp pearls made from durable borosilicate glass and ruby, shop at MJ Arsenal.

Terp Slurpers

Next, let's talk about Turp Slurpers.

This piece is considered an upgrade from the traditional dab rig banger because it's larger, designed for improved airflow, and has a plate at its base to collect unfinished oils for more hits. Its overall design allows you to use more concentrates than a regular banger but also prevents it all from burning up.

It's used just like any other banger, absorbing heat from a lighter or butane torch while holding your preferred cannabis concentrates. The biggest differences are that it ensures you don't waste all that flavorful dab of oil leftover from your last hit and that it's a little more difficult to clean.

Whether you're looking for top-tier terp slurpers or quartz bangers, MJ Arsenal carries all the best dab rig accessories you need.

Carb Caps

Carb caps are another great accessory for dabbing.

This piece helps you control the amount of air coming through your banger as you smoke and which direction that air is coming from. Its use is similar to a carb hole you cover when taking a hit from a hand pipe.

It covers the top of your banger with a carb cap and locks in heat. When combined with a terp pearl, this evenly spreads heat over your concentrate, vaporizing it at just the right temperature within your dab nail.

Using it is as simple as doing what you normally do: heat your nail, add your concentrate, and then place your directional or bubble carb cap on top. Rotate the cap around the top of your nail as you inhale, and you can more efficiently draw in all your dab vapor as you control the airflow.

For some fancy, creative, and impressive carb caps, look no further than MJ Arsenal. Our pieces look great and will make your next dab experience even better. Shop our range of carb caps today.

Dab Tools

Let's not forget about the all-important dab tool.

This is a thin wand-like piece with a tip designed to help you easily apply concentrates to your dab tool. It's also helpful in scraping away sticky residue when cleaning. They're usually made of metal or other materials, depending on your preference. These tools help you add only a little dab to your banger nail, allowing you to apply precise amounts without creating a mess.

There are many different types of dab tools, such as dabbers, scoopers, and picks. No single one is better than the others; it just depends on your preferred type of concentrate. For example, a scooper works best with sticky concentrates like waxes and crumbles. Taffy-like concentrates will need something more like a pick or blade-type tool so you can easily cut away your ideal amount.

A dab tool is handy for keeping your fingers sticky-free and reducing dab waste. They come in shapes and sizes and are made to match you and your rig's preferred style. To find premier mini dab rigs to match your tool, shop MJ Arsenal today!

Quartz Bangers

When we talk about nails, we're also talking about bangers, the part of your dab rig that holds your concentrates so they can be vaporized and inhaled. And the best bangers are made of quartz.

Quartz is really good at absorbing and holding onto heat. This makes a quartz banger all the more valuable because it's better at vaporizing concentrates without burning them. Other banger materials, like ceramic or borosilicate glass, offer a similar experience.

But quartz is often affordable and gives you a quality experience in the long term. In short, a quartz banger offers a "more bang for your buck" dabbing experience.

In addition to its unique qualities, a quartz banger also allows you to perform "cold dabs." These hits still involve plenty of heat but at much lower temperatures than normal. Because quartz can take on more heat, cold dabbing is easier.

On the other hand, quartz bangers with opaque bottoms allow you to heat hits faster and retain heat for longer. This is especially useful when you fill your banger with large amounts of concentrate.

They're used like any other banger but will last you much longer than other banger types. They're also easy to clean. Just rinse with a mixture of isopropyl alcohol and water to get rid of difficult residue from your last dozen dab sessions.

And guess what? MJ Arsenal has a wide variety of stylish, high-quality quartz bangers for you to check out. Take a look and find your new favorite addition today.

Reclaim Catchers

Another useful add-on to try is a reclaim catcher.

This piece attaches to the joint where your banger would go and holds it in place. It collects all the reclaimed oil and residue from your last dab hit, reducing waste and giving you more concentrates to smoke.

More importantly, it also keeps the insides of your dab rig cleaner, so you have less hassle. Overall, it helps increase the lifespan of your concentrates and your dab rig.

However, you should still give the reclaim catcher its proper maintenance. Like your rig or banger, you need to clean the catcher with isopropyl alcohol and water or another cleaning solution. This way, it'll stay fresh and usable for your next session.

Torches

Finally, you should always have a trusty torch.

These are excellent heat sources for dabbing, especially if you have a borosilicate glass rig from MJ Arsenal. They produce a consistently high temperature that is applied to a banger, turning it into a hot nail ready to vaporize your concentrates.

You can find torches in all kinds of places, but you won't find premium torches made for dab rigs like the ones we have at MJ Arsenal. Shop today and find all the best dab accessories online.
