Dabbing with concentrates is getting incredibly popular year by year. After picking your dab rig, the next thing you will probably look for is a dab nail. Dab Nails are one of the essentials accessories you will need to get going with your dab rig. Dab Nails are used to vaporize essential oils. They are heated up with a torch or electronic heater coil. A dab is then placed on the surface of the dab nail resulting in tasty vapor. You might have guessed already, yes, the nail serves roughly the same purpose as a bowl piece for a bong.

Like rigs, nails comes in many different varieties, each one offering a slightly distinct experience from the other. Some dab nails go inside of glass joints and need a dome to be used. While others go over glass joints and do not require a dome. As with everything in the wonderful world of rigs, you can find dab nails made from glass, titanium, ceramic and quartz.

Some of the traditional dab rigs come with a dome set up. A dome is an attachment for your water pipe. It goes over the nail and downstem connection and creates a dome around the heated nail with an open-ended top. This open end allows users to get their dab-tools inside to reach the nail. Dome is designed to channel escaping vapor into the rig.

An alternative to the traditional dome nail is a dome-less variety. Dome less nails re are a great option for dab rigs that do not come with matching domes. Some of the common styles of dome-less nail include direct inject nails, honey hole nails, daisy nails, angled cut nails and Banger nails. Each one differs in their design, such as a the banger nails in this collection tend to feature a curved design that distances the heating dish from your piece.

When it comes to selecting your dabbing equipment, quality is a standard. The point that you need to take care is that the joint and stem are opposites. Just like with bongs, joint types can vary between male and female. If your rig has a male joint then you need to buy a nail with a female joint and vice versa. While choosing nail based on material, there is no such thing as a fundamentally superior nail material. Some nails are good for heat retention, while some are better for getting pure flavor.

The four most popular nail materials are glass, titanium, ceramic and quartz. Glass nails are inexpensive and often come free with a vapor rig. You need to heat it slowly, so they do not crack. Quartz nails, although look like glass, are much more durable than glass. It is generally said that quartz nails provide the purest taste for your dabs. Quartz nails heats up faster than any other nails. Ceramic nails heat more slowly but there are claims that they provide a better quality of flavor. They are susceptible to quick temperature changes and may crack when exposed to over heat or cold. Titanium nail is the right one to choose if you are going for durability. Apart from durability, they also retain their heat for a much longer time. Titanium nails can develop titanium oxide build up over time. It is recommended to dry off your titanium nail whenever it’s wet, to prevent oxidation process.
