Electric Dab Rigs

Electric dab rigs enjoy the power of concentrates super-convenient and user friendly. Concentrates operate at incredibly high temperatures. In conventional rigs, these temperatures can only be reached by applying a butane torch to the nail until it is red hot. This requires a bit of practice to get the hang of, and it also comes with the not insignificant risk of burns. 

On top of this, a butane torch doesn't leave much room for temperature adjustments.

All of these problems are solved by e dab rigs. These incredible pieces of technology give you all the control and ease of use associated with dry herb vaporizers, combined with the power and flavor of concentrates. 

While dabs were once a niche form of dry herb consumption, they have exploded in popularity. To meet this demand, the selection of e-rigs available has exploded. Now there are more than ever, and some of them are among the best vaporizers available on the market today.

What to look for in Electric Dab Rigs

Most electric dab rigs feature an inbuilt bubbler. This may seem like a unique innovation, however, at the end of the day, it's still a bubbler. This means that everything we should pay attention to in a regular bubbler we should pay attention to in an e-rig.

This type of glass is incredibly pure and famous for its ability to resist thermal shock and stress fractures. 

Differences between all Electric Dab Rigs

The electric dab rig scene is still in its infancy, but it is rapidly growing, so it's important to draw distinctions between different categories of dab rigs. For the most part, many dab rigs are battery-powered, however, this doesn't mean that they are considered portable. Devices like the Puffco Peak and Peak Pro are too unwieldy and fragile to carry about with you. Some devices have dual use functionality, for example, the Dr Dabber Switch comes with two bowls, one for concentrates and one for herb. 

Another feature to keep an eye out for is a smartphone app. This allows users to enjoy a greater degree of control over their device by hooking it up to a bespoke app via bluetooth.

FAQ’s

How to use an electric dab rig

Using an e-rig is a little different from using a traditional combustion heated rig. Rather than pre-heating the nail, you place the concentrate in, place the cap on, and then engage the heating system. There is no need to hook the device up to a water tool. The bubbler is often built into the dab rig.

How hot to get an electric dab rig

The ideal temperature setting for a dab rig depends largely on the concentrate you are consuming. You should gradually adjust your temperature to ensure that your concentrate evaporates quickly and evenly, but doesn't burn. 

Are electric dab rigs worth it?

Electric dab rigs are expensive, however, they allow users to enjoy incredible dab experiences with the convenience of a dry herb vaporizer. 

Conclusion 

Electric dab rigs are a new addition to the dab scene, but they are quickly proving to be a must have for all true concentrate aficionados. They offer an incredible level of quality and amazing ease of use.
