Keep Your Dab Rig in Perfect Condition with These Pro Tips
Even after wiping away sticky residue with isopropyl alcohol and a cotton swab after each dab, reclaim still tends to build up over time. Unfortunately, reclaim drastically alters the flavor of your cannabis concentrates and reduces the shelf life of your banger. That’s why it’s crucial to keep your dab rig and banger clean! Here’s your complete guide to dab rigs and cleaning your quartz banger the right way.
Why is it Important to Regularly Clean Your Quartz Banger?
Proper dab rig hygiene is essential for the longevity of your rig setup, but the most important part of the dab rig is your quartz banger. This is where all the magic happens—where your cannabis concentrates are vaporized before you inhale the flavorful hit. Dabbing on a dirty banger is like eating off a dirty plate—the flavors are all wrong, and it’s just not enjoyable.
Leftover residue from dabs can burn onto your banger when you reheat it. Instead of tasting the fresh terpenes from your favorite live resin, you’ll be tasting burnt oils and other harsh flavors. Worse yet, reclaim that isn’t properly cleaned will cause heat retention issues and eventually lead to a chazzed banger, which no longer functions as it should.
Regular banger cleaning ensures you enjoy better flavors, preserve potency, and extend the lifespan of your dab rig kit. Replacing a banger after only a few uses is like throwing money away!
Clean Your Banger After Every Dab
While a single dab doesn’t require a deep clean, keeping your quartz banger clean after every dabbing session ensures that your next dab tastes fresh and prevents chazzing.
How to Keep Your Banger Clean Between Uses
-
Let your banger cool to just above room temperature.
-
Dip a cotton swab in isopropyl alcohol and wipe away any leftover residue.
-
If any black residue remains, heat it slightly with a butane torch to burn it away.
-
Make sure your banger is completely dry before reheating it.
Pro Tip: Always keep isopropyl alcohol and cotton swabs at your dab station for quick banger cleaning between dabs!
How to Deep Clean Your Quartz Banger
Over time, you’ll notice reclaim buildup in the neck or joint of your banger, even if you regularly clean the dab nail after every use. When that happens, a deep clean is necessary to restore your banger to like-new condition.
