The Dab Lab’s Official Dab Torch Buyer’s Guide
Posted by Jack Daniel (Edited by Jay Dreadhead) on 16th Oct 2017
Nice fresh water in your baller dab rig…check! Delicious wax or oil loaded on your dabber…check! Time to heat your dab nail and… *poof* that budget department store torch that you got has bit the dust and will not work at all. This time, avoid the crowds and parking hassles and shop from home at The Dab Lab, where we have the best variety of dab torches, from the brands that you know and trust, with sizes, styles, and prices to suit everyone!
In fact, we have so many torches that it can be a bit overwhelming to sort through them all if you are not sure what you are looking for. That’s why we created this handy dandy Dab Torch Buyer’s Guide, which should help you determine exactly which torch is best for you.
One thing that all of these torches have in common is that they are all fueled by butane gas, which is of course highly flammable, so always exercise caution and good sense when using your torch. That is really where the similarities end, so we will break down the 4 most common sizes that you will see here in our store, with the pro’s and con’s about each size.
MINI TORCHES
These very small handheld pocket torches aren't really designed to heat a quartz banger. They are best for lighting cigars, joints, and bog bowls. If you are looking for a torch for that purpose, check out Zico Torches here at The Dab Lab. Scroll down to check out the best entry level dab torch!
SMALL TORCHES
Our “small” series of torches from the company Special Blue are perfect for travel. The Special Blue Diablo Torch is very useful for heating quartz bangers. The lowest priced torch in our store, this model features a manufacturer warranty, a flame height adjuster, a removable stand, and more.This torch will take longer to heat the average dab nail than some of our larger options (especially bangers with extra thick 30mm heads), but the price is just so appealing!
MEDIUM TORCHES
The Blazer Big Buddy Torch is the perfect medium sized torch. Blazer is well known for their high quality torches and the Big Buddy is only $40! The medium size makes it good for traveling but still plenty big enough for regular at home use with any size quartz banger. This is the most popular Dab Torch here at The Dab Lab
LARGE TORCHES
For those who want the fastest and most efficient heating time when dabbing, the Blazer Big Shot GT 8000 is just what you’re looking for. The piezo crystal instant ignition ensures frustration-free dabbing, and blazing fast heat-up times on even the largest titanium or quartz nails, buckets, bangers and troughs. The price of this torch is slightly higher than the smaller models, but its high efficiency will save you money on butane over the long run. One of the most popular dab torches on the market today can be yours when you shop online at The Dab Lab.
Most buyers will probably want to browse the products described under the “Medium” and “Large” sections of this Buyer’s Guide, but don’t count out the many uses of the “Mini” and “Small” sizes too!
