Bangers and bowls are where the magic happens—they're the interface between your material and your piece. Quality accessories dramatically impact flavor, efficiency, and overall experience. This guide helps you choose the right ones.
Quartz Bangers for Dabbing
Why Quartz? Superior heat retention, clean flavor, visual clarity to see vaporization, and durability with proper care.
Banger Styles:
- Standard Bucket: Classic design. Universal compatibility. Easy to clean.
- premium quartz bangers: Double-wall design retains heat longer. More expensive but superior performance.
- Terp Slurper: Bottom airflow design. Maximizes concentrate usage. Advanced technique required.
- Blender/Spinner: Angled bottom causes concentrate to spin. Even vaporization and visual appeal.
Banger Thickness & Quality
2mm Quartz: Budget option. Heats fast but cools quickly. Works but not ideal for low-temp dabs.
3-4mm Quartz: Standard thickness. Balanced heat retention and cooling time. Most versatile.
5mm+ Quartz: Premium thickness. Excellent heat retention for perfect low-temp dabs. Takes longer to heat but maintains temperature.
Quality Markers: Clear, bubble-free quartz. Uniform thickness. Smooth, polished welds. Reputable manufacturer.
Banger Sizes & Joint Compatibility
Joint Sizes:
- 10mm: Micro rigs and compact setups
- 14mm: Most common—maximum compatibility
- 18mm: Larger rigs and maximum airflow
Joint Genders:
- Male Banger: Inserts into female rig joint (most common)
- Female Banger: Accepts male rig joint (less common)
Joint Angles: 90° (vertical) or 45° (angled). Must match your rig's joint angle.
Standard Bowls: Simple cup design. Various depths for different capacities. Universal fitment.
Handled Bowls (Martini Bowls): Built-in handle for hot removal. Safer and more convenient than standard bowls.
Slide Bowls: Long stem functions as downstem. Removable for clearing hits.
Snap Bowls: Designed for "snapping" entire bowlthrough in one hit. Small capacity, thin walls.
Glass Screens: Built-in restrictions prevent ash pull-through. Convenient but can restrict airflow.
Caring for Your Accessories
Banger Care:
- Clean after every dab with dry cotton swab while warm
- Avoid overheating (turns quartz cloudy)
- Deep clean weekly with isopropyl alcohol soak
- Never torch clean (damages quartz structure)
Bowl Care:
- Empty ash after each session
- Soak in alcohol solution weekly
- Use pipe cleaners for stem
- Inspect for cracks before each use
Quality accessories last years with proper care. Invest in good ones and maintain them well.
