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.
“Two-chamber soak + rinse housing for nail care.”
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.
“Lid that restricts airflow + directs vapor across the dish.”
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.
“Tall quartz banger with beveled flat top + airflow slits.”
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.
“ISO + rinse rig for keeping quartz spotless between dabs.”
Slang for a connoisseur who prefers solventless rosin or high-grade extract over flower. Synonymous with 'flavor chaser' in modern dab culture.
“Concentrate-first cannabis enthusiast.”
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.
“Removable dish that drops into the banger.”
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.
“Borosilicate cup of isopropyl for cleaning quartz.”
Heating concentrate at lower banger temperatures (typically 500–600°F nail surface). Slower vaporization preserves volatile terpenes; flavor wins over cloud size.
“Vapor at ~500–600°F. Preserves terps.”
Larger sphere (often dichro or opal) that sits atop a slurper to act as both a carb cap and an aesthetic centerpiece.
“Cap-style sphere that seals the slurper top.”
Hollow or grooved quartz cylinder set in the bottom dish. Capillary action draws concentrate up the wall, increasing surface area and flavor turnover.
“Hollow quartz post that wicks oil up off the dish.”
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.
“Reactivated oil residue collected from used quartz.”
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.
“Tiny ball that spins inside the banger to even-out heat.”
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.
“Vortex-style banger with directional slits + bottom dish.”
