What’s the difference between a quartz banger and a thermal quartz banger?

A popular type of quartz nail, a quartz banger has a deep dish and a domeless design to allow for maximum amount of concentrate to be vaporized. It takes less time to heat and ensures that heat is directed away from the delicate dab rig.

Thermal quartz bangers, on the other hand, are much more recent and are similar to standard glass bangers. However, they have an additional cylinder in the middle allowing you to dab even more! It has more mass and therefore takes longer to heat, though the heat will be retained for longer.

A glass banger costs more than your average titanium dab nail but is bound to give you the best flavour and generally heats up faster! Glass may not be as durable as titanium, but one can still expect it to last for decades if looked after properly!

How long to heat quartz banger?

A commonly asked question, the time needed to heat a quartz banger varies depending on its thickness and age. At the end of the day, the temperature at which you dab is totally up to you! We recommend to start dabbing at lower temperatures ( 350-450°F; 175-230°C) and to slowly increase the temperature to the level you deem best. A high-temperature dab is considered to be between 500-600°F; 260-315°C.

 

How to dab with a quartz banger?

Generally, a low-temperature dab takes around 20 to 30 seconds of heating by a torch to achieve; allow around 1 minute for bangers to cool. Trial and error a few times with a timer ( or an E-nail if you have one), and it won’t take you long to find the perfect temperature! If you take the time to do this, you'll find the taste that suits you best.

While cooling, apply some concentrate to the quartz bucket (go easy to start with, as they can pack a powerful punch). The concentrate will vaporize on contact with the hot surface, and that's when you'll inhale away!  

 

How to clean quartz bangers?

As with any glass product, special care should be taken when cleaning; proper cleaning will ensure it lasts for a lifetime.

The most important point is to never use bleach or standard cleaning products on your accessories, for accidentally dabbing trace amounts of this can potentially be very harmful. Instead, you should use an alcohol-based cleaner or distilled water. Soft material such as a cloth or cotton wool (Q-tips work great) is recommended to avoid scratching the delicate glass surface.
We recommend cleaning the banger after every dab session in order to prevent it from giving a dull yellow glow over time.

 

How to season a quartz banger?

Seasoning means putting a thin layer of wax or oil over the quartz glass, which prevents the dabbing of any potential unwanted material or dirt in order to give the most perfect taste!

To do this, the dab nail should first be heated while placed in the bong or dab rig. Once hot, add some wax or oil using a dabber tool, ensuring all surfaces are well covered. Allow the oil to burn. Note: you should not inhale during this process.

 

Conclusion

Dabbing concentrates are becoming popular ever since the legalization of marijuana across North America. Using these accessories is considered a healthier way of consuming your marijuana in comparison to other methods such as using pure bongs or blunts since no combustion takes place.

We have covered the 15 best glass quartz bangers on the market in 2019. Glass quartz bangers have the added benefit over titanium dab nails of giving a purer taste and they take a shorter time to heat up; not to mention they're visually stunning! Whether you have a small $20 budget, or prefer a top quality, handmade banger, you are bound to find one that suits you on our list!
