What Is A Quartz Banger?
A quartz banger is the special tool that holds your concentrate when you dab. Some designs can even hold larger dabs. Crafted from high-quality quartz, it’s a quartz nail that attaches to a dab rig. The quartz banger bucket heats evenly and holds temperature well without cracking and vaporizes the concentrate for a clean, strong flavor. Because quartz keeps heat longer than titanium, it’s become the go-to for smooth, flavorful dabs.
Quartz Banger Benefits
Quartz bangers hold steady heat, which helps you control temperature and get the most from every dab. They warm up fast, cool down slowly, and make it easier to find that sweet spot without burning your concentrate. The material doesn’t add any taste, so all you get is the clean, full flavor of your dab. Quartz also stands up well to heat changes, so you won’t have to worry about cracking from thermal shock — just steady use and reliable performance session after session.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: What does a quartz banger do?
A quartz banger is an essential dabbing tool used to heat and vaporize concentrates. It attaches to a dab rig and acts as a heating surface. When heated with a torch or heating element, the banger’s bowl-like structure allows for the placement and vaporization of concentrates like wax, oil, or resin. The quartz material efficiently retains heat, ensuring a consistent temperature ideal for extracting the full flavor and potency of the concentrate.
Q: How do you use a quartz banger?
Using a quartz banger involves heating it with a torch or heating element until it reaches the desired temperature. Then, apply a small amount of concentrate directly into the banger using a dabber tool. Inhale through the dab rig as the concentrate vaporizes. Adjust the heating and cooling times based on the thickness of the banger, the amount of concentrate, and your preferred dabbing temperature.
Q: How do you break in a quartz banger?
You can season your quartz banger by heating it evenly with a torch until it’s glowing red but not overheated. This process helps remove residual manufacturing oils and primes the quartz surface for a better dabbing experience. Once cooled, heat and apply a small amount of concentrate to the banger like normal. If needed, heat it again until all the concentrate vaporizes completely.
Q: What to look for in a quartz banger?
When looking for a quartz banger, consider its thickness, size, and quality. A thicker banger offers better heat retention and durability. A bigger bucket allows for larger-sized dabs. Ensure the size fits your dab rig’s joint accurately. High-quality quartz provides better flavor and heat resistance. Also, look for a smooth, even surface banger and check for imperfections. Some bangers have additional features like a thermal core, terp slurper, or a beveled edge for better sealing with a carb cap.
Q: What size quartz banger should I choose?
Choosing the right size quartz banger depends on the joint size of your dab rig. Standard joint sizes are 10mm, 14mm, and 18mm. Matching the banger’s size with your rig’s joint and angle is crucial for a proper fit. Additionally, consider the size of the banger’s bucket, which should accommodate the amount of concentrate you typically use for dabbing. A larger bucket allows for bigger dabs, while a smaller one suits smaller, more flavorful ones.
Q: Are quartz bangers compatible with all dab rigs?
Quartz bangers are compatible with most dab rigs, provided the joint sizes match. You must check both the gender or fitting (male or female) and the size (usually 10mm, 14mm, or 18mm) of your dab rig’s joint and choose a corresponding banger. Some rigs may have unique designs or angles, so ensuring compatibility before purchasing a new quartz banger is essential. Most standard rigs, however, will accommodate a quartz banger with the correct joint size and type.
Q: How long do I heat my quartz banger?
A: The heating time for a quartz banger varies based on its thickness and your desired dabbing temperature. Typically, heat the banger with a torch for about 20-30 seconds, then let it cool for 10-45 seconds before applying your concentrate. The cooling time depends on how hot you prefer your dabs. Thicker bangers may require slightly longer heating times. Using a timer, infrared thermometer, or electric nail (e-nail) can help achieve more precise temperatures.
Q: What joint angles are available for quartz bangers?
A: Quartz bangers come in different joint angles to fit different styles of dab rigs. The most popular joint angles for quartz bangers are 90 degrees and 45 degrees. A banger with a 90-degree angle is ideal for rigs with upright joints, whereas a 45-degree banger aligns well with rigs that have angled joints. Choosing the right angle ensures that the banger sits appropriately on the rig and provides the best dabbing experience. It’s essential to match the angle with your rig’s joint orientation.
Q: What are the types of quartz bangers?
A: Quartz bangers come in a few main styles. Flat-top bangers are the most common, while thermal and opaque bottoms help control heat better. Or terp slurpers can help maximize flavor, at a lower temperature, and handle larger dabs. All quartz banger pairs easily with dab rigs for smooth, flavor-packed pulls. You’ll also see different joint angles and bucket sizes. Check out our shop to see which style fits your setup best.
Q: Are quartz bangers stronger than glass nails?
A: Yes, they are. Quartz handles thermal shock better than glass, so heating up a cold quartz banger won’t crack as easily as a glass nail. That’s the main difference between the two. It’s why most people prefer quartz bangers once they start dabbing often. You’ll find various quartz bangers and other dab nails in our shop to compare before buying.
Q: How do I clean a quartz banger?
A: Let it cool first. Then, wipe out any leftover concentrate with a cotton swab while it’s still a little fluid and warm. For a deeper clean, soak it in isopropyl alcohol and rinse with warm water. Avoid using sharp tools that might scratch your quartz banger or dab nails.
Q: How long should I heat the quartz banger?
A: Low-temperature dabbing typically happens between 315°F and 450°F (157°C–230°C). This temperature range is ideal for preserving terpene flavor, producing smoother vapor, and reducing throat and lung irritation. Instead of burning off cannabinoids and terpenes, low-temp dabs allow concentrates to vaporize evenly for a cleaner, more controlled experience.
Most quartz bangers should be heated for 20–40 seconds, depending on thickness. Thicker quartz needs more heat retention, while thinner bangers heat faster. Heat the quartz bucket evenly, then let it cool briefly before dabbing.
A properly heated banger will cause your concentrate to melt and vaporize into a golden liquid, not combust on contact. Overheating wastes concentrate, dulls flavor, and shortens the lifespan of your quartz banger and dab nail. For best results, slow heating followed by a short cool-down delivers better vapor, better flavor, and longer-lasting glass.
