What I look for in a Dab / How I rate Dab Devices
I’m looking for maximum flavor and intensity when I dab. I’m using the highest quality concentrates and I’m looking for a dab experience that expresses the full flavor and potential of my concentrates. Hash Rosin is expensive and I am a bit obsessive when it comes to perfecting the extraction. I take large dabs, but they’re not as large as most globbers. I don’t like hot dabs, but I demand intensity without heat or harshness. I don’t do low temps either.
I want maximum clouds, maximum flavor, and mind-warbling intense effects. When I rank eRigs I’m looking for the full range of temperatures and intensities. Clean-up needs to be easy and not require special tools.
Best way to Dab At Home – Terp Slurper
A Terp Slurper or a Blender is the ultimate dabbing experience. These styles of quartz bangers are designed in a way that vaporizes the oil as it’s melting, reducing the oxidation and degradation of THC and other cannabinoids.
At 392F THC begins to degrade and convert to cannabinol (CBN). The effects from CBN are more sedative and sleepy. Terp Slurpers are designed to minimize the degradation of THC and terpenes. The first inhale through a Terp Slurper is significantly more flavorful
Terp Slurpers can be heated with a dab torch or a modern desktop heater like the D-nail Universal Heater..

Best Portable Dab Rigs
90% of my dabs happen at home, at my desk. That’s my favorite place to medicate.
Portable Dab Rigs like the Dr Dabber Switch 2 and Puffco Peak are perfect solutions for dabbing on the go. These battery powered vapes are designed to mimic the quartz banger dabbing experience.
Dr Dabber Switch 2 is my Favorite eRig
This is an induction powered dab device that most closely resembles the performance of a standard quartz bucket. It heats up fast enough to capture the best flavors without significant degradation, and it’s easier to clean-up than a Terp Slurper.
Best of all, the Dr Dabber Switch 2 doesn’t use an atomizer. This vape uses induction power and a built-in titanium housing with a quartz-lined airpath.
No more replacing atomizers every six months! The Switch 2 should outlast all of the other erigs.
The Switch 2 is upgradeable and customizable, too. Its software allows full customization of the dabbing experience. Even the lights can be customized!

Torchless Banger Dabs & Ball Vape Flower Dabs
Modern E-nails have transitioned to a stationary coil and a standard 25mm bucket banger. These “hot holes” present a much better dabbing experience than the traditional enail because the temperature of the nail is stable and descending, like a torch dab.
With the exception of the D-nail Universal Heater, these types of desktop heaters only work well with bucket bangers. The Dab Ready and Cannabis Hardware heaters use a 25mm coil – the perfect size for quartz bangers and cordless ball vapes.
Cordless Desktops are the best of both worlds! These vapes switch between dry herb and dabs effortlessly and provide the pinnacle of performance for both. Ball vapes are the hardest hitting type of dry herb vaporizer and no e-rig competes with a quartz banger.
My favorite cordless desktop devices are made by Cannabis Hardware and Old Head. The Old Head Dab Ready was the first device of this type and still a great value. Check out my Dab Ready Review or my Best Ball Vape Page to learn more.
