Since our name is The Dab Lab, we have an obligation to provide the people with highly functional and visual appealing dab rigs. It’s our duty to offer price points that can satisfy everyone from entry level dabbers shopping for a budget-friendly rig, to concentrate connoisseurs looking to add to their impressive heady glass collections. What are you in the market for?

This Dab Rig Buyer’s Guide might help to answer some of your questions and help to point you in the right direction.

SIZE

Generally speaking, dab rigs tend to be smaller than your average bong. Reducing the amount of air between your dab vapors and your taste buds usually delivers better tasting and heavier hitting dabs. Still, there is quite a bit of variety when it comes to the size of dab rigs. A big part of your decision depends on what style catches your eye, but there are some other things to consider.

For example, if you plan to travel a lot with your dab rig, or use it at music or cannabis related festivals, you might consider one of our pendant dab rigs available here at The Dab Lab. Secure it with a dope chain around your neck and your terps will never be too far away. If you plan to keep your dab rig at home and on the coffee table, maybe you want to bump up the size a bit so that you can just lean over and let her rip!

This Fab Egg Rig from Bare Glass is a perfect example of a coffee table dab rig:

Every dab rig here at The Dab Lab has a bunch of useful information on its product page, including size dimensions to help you make the right decision. 

DIFFUSION

When it comes to dabbing, fewer/larger bubbles is usually preferred. This helps to preserve flavor of your vapors, as opposed to many smaller bubbles that are instead intended to cool the smoke when combusting herb. Recyclers are very popular as Dab Rigs. Recyclers tend to create a lot of diffusion, but they are still great as Dab Rigs. They hold a lot of water reducing the air space in the water pipe, creating smooth terpy vapor. 

Recycler rigs like these from AFM Glass:

PRICE

Here at The Dab Lab, we have dab rigs for you with a dome and a quartz nail starting at just $60! 

Our selection of clear and scientific glass dab rigs and accessories is virtually unrivaled and is always as affordable as possible. The more work that a glass artist puts into a piece, the more value it has. So as you can see with some of our more colorful, and fully worked heady glass dab rigs, the price does go up a bit. Heady glass handcrafted by respected artists has proven to be a good investment over the years, and even though the prices are higher than some of our entry level glass, we are still proud to offer you the best prices even on high end heady glass. That is our mission.

For example, check out these super heady recyclers by Schmalex Glass with colored glass and linework for only $350:
