Glossary
The vocabulary of modern low-temp dabbing — distilled for newcomers, cross-referenced for veterans.
Variant of the flat-top quartz banger with a taller chamber and three aggressive airflow slits. Designed for larger dabs with less splash and improved flavor retention.
Originated by JP Toro of Toro Glass in 2019. Pairs a vacuum-style dish with directional slits, creating a swirling vortex that pulls vapor through evenly. Now a flagship style for flavor-first dabbers.
A two-chamber accessory (often called a banger basket) holding ISO + clean water. Drop a hot banger in to dissolve residue. Critical for low-temp purists who refuse to torch carbon back to clean.
Heating concentrate at lower banger temperatures (typically 500–600°F nail surface). Slower vaporization preserves volatile terpenes; flavor wins over cloud size.
Ruby, sapphire, SiC, or quartz spheres dropped in a banger. Carb cap-driven airflow spins them, mechanically pushing concentrate around so it never sits puddled in one cold spot.
Drops banger pressure so concentrate boils at a lower temp. Directional caps (bubble, spinner, mushroom) point the airstream to spin pearls and load the slits.
Hollow or grooved quartz cylinder set in the bottom dish. Capillary action draws concentrate up the wall, increasing surface area and flavor turnover.
Larger sphere (often dichro or opal) that sits atop a slurper to act as both a carb cap and an aesthetic centerpiece.
A separate quartz, sapphire, or ceramic cup that nests inside the main banger. Lets you reload without re-heating, and concentrates heat onto the dab itself.
A small jar of 99% isopropyl alcohol kept on the dab tray. Hot banger gets dunked + Q-tipped between dabs to keep terp profiles clean and quartz crystal-clear.
The amber resin left behind on a dirty banger. Some hash heads scrape and re-cap it; many treat it as proof of a too-hot dab.
Slang for a connoisseur who prefers solventless rosin or high-grade extract over flower. Synonymous with 'flavor chaser' in modern dab culture.
Glass or borosilicate housing that holds an ISO chamber and a water rinse chamber side-by-side. Lets you drop a banger in mid-session without a separate dunk jar.
