Dabbers, I need gear recommendations!!!

Also, ever since I first worked a kitchen station where I had to make a bunch of creme brulees, I've preferred propane torches to butane. More efficient combusion, hotter flame, faster heating time.

Since I've been in construction, I use MAPP gas torches. With my busted banger necks, it literally takes two seconds of flame to get it hot enough. Makes for a quick dab.

Yep, all i use is MAPP gas too. Only time i buy the propane cylinders is for my camp stove.

MAPP gas is the bees knees man. Love that shit. Since I learned to braze and solder copper, that's pretty much all I've used for a lot of stuff but propane is a little safer for working mycology stuff. Those flames are all hot as shit, but when trying to do stuff quick, MAPP takes the cake. it's just damn expensive and has seemed to get harder to get a hold of.

I consider bangers to be essentially disposable. Get 5 of these or so every 6 months and then throw them out when they break or get too scratched up.

I like these carb caps, too. The directed air is clutch for efficient vaporization.

MAPP gas reminds me of the first time I smoked wax. An Ex and I went to a small dispensary to pick up some flower. It was so small you had the display counter, some stools for the customers and a back wall that you used as a backrest when sitting on the stools. As the budtender was packing up our order I noticed a jar full of, what looked like, a bunch of snot. I asked the budtender what it was and he told me it was wax. "What is "wax"?" I said. He looked at me funny and said "You don't know what wax is?"

Have you ever seen one of those movies where the heavens open up with angels singing? The entire backwall we were leaning on opens up revealing, what used to be, a small bar. Very similar to the speakeasies in the 20's. The bar had big glass bongs with dab rigs caulked to the top of the bars with a few jars similar to the one I first saw occupying the glass shelves behind the bar. BT pulls out a tank of MAPP gas from behind the counter and proceeds to fire up the dab bowl until it's glowing red. Keep in mind I have no idea what is happening here and my ex is just that much more clueless. BT looks at me and says " When I tell you to hit it hit it hard. In fact, take some deep breathes and when you're ready let me know and then clear out as much air out of your lungs as you can before taking this hit!".

After almost coughing out both lungs my ex takes a monster hit and follows with the same gag ritual. We grab our shit and leave. As we're driving back the wax is really starting to come on and, because my ex's apartment was near an airport, a bunch of planes are flying in low trying to land. We are completely freaking out by this time thinking the planes are going to crash into us!

The dispensary was around 20 minutes from where she lived. Took us 2 hours to get back..........

Hell yeah they are. 'Bout to go take a trip on the Herb Shuttle myself.

Also, cuticle pushers make fantastic dab tools and are generally under $10 apiece.

My first dab experience had me feeling like a crackhead . A torch?! Damn! Followed by a half hour of struggling to breathe...

Things have gotten so much easier since then. No nail and dome juggling acts. Just drop and dab. When I first got my Terp Pen, I said to myself "Where the fuck was this when I started smoking wax?" It's soooo easy to get soooo high now. Times are a changin'. Poor kids these days don't know the struggle.

Dude.. so I take the bulldozer style buckets and break it off. It then hits like a nectar collector but from a rig. Easy to take small dabs or big dabs. Heats up fast and cools off quick for a good low temp dab using less fuel. No fumbling around with something on a stick.View attachment 21487
I broke one way back when and I live hours from a new one, so I made due. They sold glass locally but glass never tasted good to me.

I intentionally break the tips off of all my bangers now. I love it and wouldn't go another route.

Fkna one day they are gonna make those intentionally and call em some funny name like "weener slurper"

In regards to terp pens and waxy rosin that's not full melt....How do y'all manage the drip after a couple hits? Like I'll take some hits and get oil up in the shaft then it will drip back down and fall. Now I have wax stains on a few shirts, shoes, and floors.
That mess is what keeps me from using them more often. And I have a few brands, Boundless, Digital Dipper, and others and they all get the drip. I see some are coming with a cap so you load the cap and it also prevents the drip but then the cap gets all gummed up and nasty.
And due to the drip is why I keep going back to my dual coil honey pot pen. It needs to be cleaned well after every session and that's a hassle but no drip and no broken glass like other gear I'll use.
I'm pretty much off the banger and torch methods these days. Broke too many and I like battery over torch by a lot.

Just ease into the product, I guess. That or clean it more often. They do act like a straw if you go in to deep, melting some that just sucks right back up. Otherwise, mine only drips when it needs cleaned and I just hit it with a lighter and melt it out the exit holes of the tip, dripping it onto some paper. Hit the shaft with a lighter also for a pretty quick cleaning.

I have found that they kinda suck for any concentrate that's had the terps added back. They just burn the terps an give you a sucky hit.

Dude. Just catch the drips in an old concentrate jar, then dab it or make edibles. Reclaim is fucking thunder.

Also, for a more efficient dab, heat the stem underneath the bucket as well as the bucket itself. It'll collect nicely on the bottom of the banger stem.
