Dabbers, I need gear recommendations!!!

Just a quartz* banger that I cap with an old glass dab container...prefer the bucket style over nail

The lady broke her banger. It's time for an upgrade. Whatchu got?
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.20230915_204655.jpg
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.

that's a damn good idea
 
I wanted to get in touch with someone that blows so they could make them without buckets but I never followed through with it. Seemed like a money-maker sort of idea.

it's actually not that hard. you just need a mold for the glass-on-glass connection, and you can buy glass tubing for hella cheap by the foot. once i learned about how cheap glass tubing was to buy in my tweaker days, i quit buying bubbles lol fun thing to fuck with when spun out
 
I’m a lazy ass so email in a convential rig leave it on most of the weekend and for travel I have a nice puffco but really the cheap yocans works fine
her cousin is talking about selling her a puffco that she's trying to offload. technology man... i remember when electric nails were the new fancy thing. so out of touch with all the devices and whatnot now.

fuck, if i took a dab, i'd die lol or at least wish someone would kill me. a single hit of flower rocks me, can't imagine what an unmetered amount of concentrate would do.

the lady picked up some diamonds. never seen those IRL till she handed me the container and I opened it and the shit sparkled. I was blown away. fuckin live resin diamonds. damn. shit looks like crumble wax but finer and it sparkles. wtf is with the sparkle?!
 
I have one similar to this. Boundless brand Terp Pen. I love it man 30 dollar pen that lasts all day and is so easy to use.

My puffco was last used for DMT so I've been afraid to use it again. I'm not ready to go back to that place... I should just replace the atomizer

- Good question ? I press all my own I’ve tried the expensive shit like the diamonds , taste is much better so I wonder if they don’t add back terms after extraction ? Or mayb just the co2 extraction method ? Don’t really know but ya got me wondering now
 
I like the Lookah line up..

The place I used to shop said the diamonds was just THC while their High Cannabinoid lineup was Diamonds with terps added back. The diamonds they sold had little to no color or flavor but they knocked your socks off. If the High Cannabinoid stuff wasn't mixed well, I'd always get a sort of glycol taste to it so I quit buying that stuff. Same reason I never enjoyed carts.

U like the swordfish ? That might be my next pen
 
I have a Yocan XL pen for on the go and a Puffco Peak Pro for home. The Peak Pro is expensive but worth it IMO.

yeah this shit is almost white. it reminds me of what dry sift looks like if the dry sift were sweaty, if that makes sense? and sparkly. like they put white glitter in it or something. shits wild man... i remember when getting room temp stable shatter was like the top of the line grade A primo shit. now we've got all these crazy non-solvent extraction methods resulting in all kinds of varieties of product that is simply too much to keep track of.

thanks for all the suggestions gents! i know she likes the experience of using the torch and banger, and I've thought about picking her up so pearls, i think they're called, to go in the bowl thing, and she desperately needed some kind of topper for the banger too but i don't know what those balls or topper things are called either lol she doesn't need a fucking pen though. hell nah. she scares the fuck out of me with how she drives as it is, she don't need to have smoke on the go. every damn time she has a cart, she's hitting it while she drives and I'm like, woman! if you get caught doing that, you're goin to jail for DWI and I ain't doing shit other than dropping your car insurance policy.

i feel like a dog dressed as a sheep trying to hang out with you guys these days :ROFLMAO: day 65: no one seems to have noticed yet but they might find out i'm not a stoner after all this time
 
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.


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.

Preferred dab tunes:

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.

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..........

i'm fuckin dying 🤣 pretty sure us older cats that saw the development of concentrates and ingestion methods take off all had similar "fuck, i'm gonna die from this shit" experiences man.

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.
