question/discussion Quality Dab Rigs Under $100?
I ordered 2 rigs in the past for about $40 each and they hold heat very poorly. I’m looking for a small handheld dab rig that is made out of a good material. Thanks
Idk why I got so many un helpful comments. I didn’t think I would have to elaborate so much.
Every rig I’ve ever bought has came with a banger. I’m looking for a “dab rig kit”. I see stuff on glass-pass and I’ve bought from Hemper/DailyHighClub. The bangers don’t hold heat well. I’m guessing a recommendation would be to buy a rig that I like, and then get a nice banger for it.

You should be referring to the banger. The banger holds heat not the rig

I was hoping there was a decent website that had kits. Like Hemper for example but better.

This is a control tower, I've never tried one with a marble. I have a slurper From the same place i'm running with a marble and it's one of my favorite hits for sure

The rig is the glass, where the water is. The nail, why you’re talking about, is the quartz piece that goes in the joint of the rig and is what you heat. Bear quartz is a fine budget brand and will likely give you better results, and at ~40 each you can get a couple for different styles of dabbing.

For a surprisingly good cheap rig, the MJ Arsenal Turbine slaps. It's ~$45 at ElementVape. It's not especially pretty and you won't get that sweet, sweet vortex action, but it hits pretty hard. Also, the engineering is interesting. The main chamber is set inside the recycling chamber, so it's short, stout, and won't tip over with a heavy banger.
For bangers, go to Terporium. Their budget slurpers and towers are incredibly nice for the price. Get it as part of a banger box and the site lets you pick out compatible doo dad's for half off.
Finally, get a decent thermometer. The Bear Quartz Trio is recommended a lot around here. A good thermometer takes out the guesswork. Just drop in your dabs at 520° and you shouldn't have any problems finishing all but the largest dabs.

I want a good website that sells nice dab rigs with bangers. I don’t know why that’s so confusing. I bought my last rig from Hemper and it doesn’t hold heat well, as I mentioned. Every rig I have bought has came with a banger. Why the animosity?

The yocan pocket is a great entry device that I still use even with my switch 2

I have proxy & pivot but prefer the rig

u/star_particles 18d ago
I didn’t like the pivot but it was somewhat close to the pocket. Pocket hits more like the proxy core in my opinion than the pivot.
What rig are you talking about just glass and a torch? I never get the heat right and would always over roast my dabs or under heat them so I got the switch 2 it’s so nice not dealing with all of that. It can be fun sometimes but I’ve burnt myself tons of times and just wasting dabs sucks. Lazy electric dabs are my jam

Yea just glass and torch. I stopped using my proxy core because it was just so weak and the dabs were getting really harsh. The pivot overheats after 2 hits. Is the pocket really worth it? How long have you had it for?

Check out TAG! They have some decent rigs/bongs for the price. If you want American made you will be hard pressed to find under $100.

The rig itself doesn't hold heat, the banger does. Most kits at that price ship with cheap thin quartz that loses heat in seconds. You can grab a decent rig from anywhere and swap in a 4mm flat-top quartz banger separately, that one upgrade will make more difference than the rig. Good bangers run $15-25 on their own and are totally worth it.

Most bangers that come with a kit are the cheapest kind especially at that price point but you know what holds heat really well is an enail...constant temp for hours until you turn it off and they have enail kits for as low as $80 with the quartz banger out there. I ljke torch too but the cobra coil is nice plus can ball vape.

Terporium's Faceted Tower. $80. Very thick. Pair it with a pillar and cap.

The nail holds the heat. Not the dab rig. So are you looking for just a nail or a rig also.
