Dab Supplies Checklist: Everything You Need to Start Dabbing

Starting to dab means a handful of parts working together, and it's easy to forget one. Here's the full checklist, in the order you'll use them.

The must-haves

1. A rig. The water piece itself. We sell replacement parts, not whole rigs — if yours is broken beyond a part swap, that's a different purchase.

2. A quartz banger. The cup you heat and dab into. Match your rig's joint size (14mm or 19mm) and gender — male banger into a female joint, female banger takes a male joint.

3. A carb cap. This one gets skipped more than any other, and it's the one that makes the biggest difference. The cap traps heat so your dab vaporizes at a lower, tastier temperature instead of burning off.

4. A dab tool. For moving concentrate into the banger without touching it. Scoop-style tools for thicker material, flat or pointed tips for the rest.

5. A torch. The banger has to be heated before every dab — a standard torch is part of the kit, not an optional extra.

The nice-to-haves

6. Terp pearls. Small quartz balls that spin inside the banger and spread the heat around, so the dab vaporizes more evenly.

7. Cleaning swabs. A quick swab while the banger is still warm keeps it clear and keeps the next dab tasting right.

What breaks first

Bangers and carb caps are the parts people replace most — they're the ones getting heated and handled every session. That's exactly what we stock: quartz bangers, carb caps, terp pearls, and dab tools, so when a piece of your setup wears out or breaks, you replace the part instead of the whole rig.
