Mini Dab Rig

Dab rigs are typically glass devices designed for vaporizing concentrates. They are also called oil rigs since they specialize in vaporizing the oil from the concentrate extract. So, if you ever hear the term "oil rigs," it just means dab rigs.

Mini dab rigs are a specialized type of water pipe used to vaporize and smoke cannabis concentrates. They're an attractive alternative to standard rigs or bongs since they provide a stronger hit and are less likely to burn up than flower.

When used correctly, a mini dab rig offers better flavors and less harshness on your throat than a standard glass pipe. MJ Arsenal's mini dab rigs are some of the best on the market, giving you a compact, heavy-hitting pull with one simple device: our premium-quality glass dab rigs at an incredible price.

Dab rigs are made from all kinds of materials. Silicone rigs are popular, but silicone doesn't transfer heat efficiently. This means they can't properly cool your hits or our mini dab rigs.

Borosilicate glass is a popular choice for oil rigs because it is durable, so you can enjoy your rig without worrying about wearing it down..

Once you know how they work, it's pretty simple to learn how to operate a dab rig for yourself. To start, you'll need:

• A dab rig
• A quartz nail
• A torch
• Concentrate of your choice
• A dab tool
• A carb cap (optional)

Step #1: Heat the Nail

First, heat the nail. You can choose how much you want to apply. Remember: High-temperature dabs have a harsher/more intense taste, so heat with caution. Low-temperature dabs produce cooler, smoother, and more flavorful dabs, so it all depends on your preference.

You can heat the nail with a torch or invest in an electronic nail (or e-nail). E-nails are safer than torches because they let you control your dab rig's temperature so that you can fully decide on the amount of heat you want, which in turn affects the flavor levels.

Step #2: Wait for the Nail to Cool

You'll want to let the nail cool for about ten seconds to allow the concentrate to soak in so that you can enjoy the dab's full flavor.

Step #3: Place the Concentrate on the Nail

Once the nail is adequately heated, use your dab tool to place your preferred amount of extracted concentrate in it. The tool is an essential part of the puzzle since it safely sets your concentration on the nail, which can reach several hundred degrees.

Step #4: Inhale, Exhale

When the concentrate is inside the nail, begin inhaling through the mouthpiece. The heated concentrate goes through the water in the chamber and out through the mouthpiece as vapor. Exhale whenever you feel comfortable, although a few seconds should be sufficient.

Step #5: Place a Carb Cap on the Nail (Optional)

Depending on how many hits you want to take, you might want to invest in a carb cap. This small device covers the top of your nail once you've placed your concentrated dab inside.

It traps the heat as your dab vaporizes and helps promote even air flow inside the bucket. Using a cap helps if you plan to take several hits and do not want to reheat each time.

Step #6: Clean the Nail

If you don't clean your nail immediately after you've finished dabbing, residue can stick to it, changing the flavor of your next dab.

If you use your dab rig regularly, it's a good idea to clean it out frequently.

You'll need a variation of:

• Salt
• Isopropyl Alcohol
• Res caps or plastic bags, and rubber bands
• Container
• Paper Towels
• Q-Tips
• Pipe Cleaners
• Funnel

Before you get started, make your cleaning solution. If you choose to soak your dab rig, find a container or bucket large enough to accommodate it. When you've added enough isopropyl alcohol, add ¼ to ½ cups of salt and mix it until it's almost (but not completely) dissolved.

Step #1: Take Your Dab Rig Apart

Taking your dab rig apart means removing any accessories, such as the nail. Then, you can either place the dab rig inside the container or pour the mixture inside the dab rig so that it's full.

Step #2: Place Your Res Caps

Res caps are for closing up any openings in your dab rig for cleaning or storage.

If you don't have any res caps, then you can use plastic bags with rubber bands. The key is to keep the cleaning solution there without leakage, since your next step is to shake it.

Step #3: Shake the Dab Rig Lightly

Once the mixture is inside, shake your dab rig lightly. This will help get the cleaning solution moving around your piece, which is especially helpful if you have stuck-on resin.

Step #4: Let the Dab Rig Soak

Allow your dab rig to soak. How long you want it to soak depends on your preferences, but the longer you let it soak, the more squeaky clean the dab rig will be.

If you're feeling impatient and plan to use it later in the day, then soaking it for 30 to 60 minutes will be sufficient.

Step #5: Rinse and Dry the Dab Rig Thoroughly

Rinse out your dab rig with room temperature water. Anything too hot or cold may cause cracks. Be sure to rinse a few times thoroughly to ensure all of the isopropyl alcohol, salt, and resin are gone.

Then, let it dry on a mat or dish rack. You can also speed up the process using paper towels, pipe cleaners, or cotton swabs. Double-check that it is thoroughly cleaned of any leftover isopropyl alcohol and salt to avoid putting yourself at any health risks.

We've already talked about using your nail with dab rigs, but before you commit to one nail, consider the other types of nails available:

• Quartz Nails: Domed-shaped quartz nails (also known as quartz bangers) are standard accessories with almost all dab rigs. However, they are not a great long-term solution since they can break very easily.
• Adjustable Nail: Adjustable nails are another dome-shaped crowd favorite because they can easily adjust to any-sized dab rig.
• Universal Nail: Like adjustable nails, universal nails can adjust to any size or shape joints, but can be used without a dome.
• Daisy Nail: Daisy nails are usually quartz, which is more durable than glass or ceramic — plus, they're easier to clean.
• Sidearm Nail: Sidearm nails are made of sturdy titanium and are intended to keep the heat away from your face. This is good if you don't want the 700-degree Fahrenheit heat too close to you as you dab.
• Electronic Nails: E-nails with a built-in heating element are ideal for those who don't want to use torches.

Here's the simple truth: These mini dab rigs are easier to use, more efficient, and more affordable than other options on the market. Don't let a sub-par occasion with shoddy rigs keep you from enjoying the superior vaping experience of an expertly engineered mini rig.
